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.

What's O.L.D. is N.E.W.

Quote from: CRKrueger;1030748The most idiotic name for a game ever...but so what?

I wanted to check this out for a while, so nice timing I say.

Better hurry, because after today the bundle will be G.O.N.E.

(As said in an email Bundle of Holding sent me. Very witty, that crew!)

Quote from: Nerzenjäger;1030593Sadly, I'm at the point where I know the perfect system doesn't exist. ;)

First, the disillusionment. Then, the acceptance. I remember well, joining the fold...:-)

It's true. The perfect system doesn't exist. For me, it's about a) happiness when I GM it and b) can I publish for it without a lot of shenanigans. It was hard for me to find that confluence, but I think WOIN will do it for me. I can tinker, publish my tinkerings, and publish the settings I'm tinkering for. Should be a recipe for happiness.

Quote from: trechriron;1030933I will answer more thoroughly later. But for now, I think it strikes a nice balance between the crunch of GURPS (a game I still love...) and say 5e (a game I don't like so much). The countdown mechanic is brilliant fun. It is somewhat player-centric which jibes with my GMing style. The Health + Conditions system brings solid flavor and verisimilitude without being cheesy (like people popping up and down over a combat...). I really need to do a proper review.

what is this countdown mechanic you speak of?
