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.

Has anyone actually played SenZar?

I read SenZar years ago and it was an over-the-top AD&D clone with an unabashed love for munchkins, aka a proto-Hackmaster...or early attempt at Exalted.   Yes, I've heard all the web rants about the wacky authors and their claims of greateness, but my interest is how their product plays.  

I am a big believer that how a game reads is not always how a game plays and sometimes, there's a big difference - especially in the hands of GMs of varying ability.  

So....have you actually played SenZar?

I have the books (the main book and Creeping Death) and I would seriously play it if I could find anyone who was interested.

I'd play in a short SenZar campaign, if only to relive the glee of being a 13 year old munchkin again.  I doubt I could stick with it very long though.

Never played it but I would, sounds like fun.  Maybe not as a game day staple but once in a while wacky is a good time.

This sounds like the kind of game that would benefit from wacky authors with huge heads.

Bah to you two. I would totally go for a campaign and blaze Iron Maiden throughout.

There is a guy on my forum that plays it from time to time and has posted up some of his game sessions.  It sounds insane, but fun.  I don't think I'd have enough balls as a GM to run the sessions he's doing with it though.
