This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: The Worid;334273"Veneer" wasn't meant as a value judgment, just a statement about how much they affect character creation. However, by your description, they sound like more than a veneer, so I suppose I was ill-informed.

Indeed, you were. Class strongly impacts your choices of skills. Given the low number of skill points and the wide difference between "class appropriate" and "class inappropriate" skills...

The same basic mode is used in Rolemaster and Spacemaster.

I must be tired, for a moment I read this as "Class-B (ie. second rate) Generic Games".

You mean our True20 campaign was second rate?
