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.

Ordered REIGN Enchiridion on a whim. Impressions?

Reign tends to abstract a lot of that stuff out, as do most lightweight systems. Reign is very much about the skill of the user; an Expert die is going to make just about every other mundane modifier irrelevant.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

You have just missed relevant subtext here.


Anyway, my main problem with the system is that during combat the game attempts to extract three types of information form only two variables. (Speed, hit zone, damage from breadth & width)
