I was putting old videogames I don't plan to play anytime soon in storage and remembered I bought the special edition of Two Worlds that came with a d20 conversion allowing you to play it in tabletop form. Everything really did get d20 back in those days didn't it?

To be fair, that second edition chart compresses a lot, because each individual weapon was actually a separate skill, it just used the costs assigned for the category. So if you wanted to learn, say, broadsword -and- bastard sword or whatever, that's two skills in the one-handed edged category, each with its own ranks. Each individual language was actually two- skills! One for speaking and one for reading/writing. Each spell list you wanted to learn was its own skill, there were about five separate adrenal moves skills, two martial skills - basically anything on that first chart with ** is actually anywhere from 2 to 2 dozen actual skills that you had to spend points on separately. ...on the other hand, IIRC the Death Trance Skill is RMSS is actually just literally the skill to will yourself to die with your brain and if you failed the roll you just went into a coma or something.

In a fantasy game, that seems really unnecessary. Just take off your armor and shove the blade through your own heart enough times to hit 0 hp...unless this does this to another target. In the later case, that sounds a little strong.

So basically it's a skill for being a fanatical mook working for an evil secret society but on the list for players for some reason.

gradenko_2000 posted:Rolemaster 2nd Edition had a fairly tame skillset: Why wouldn't you? (My group is sad, and I am a sad person. RMC2 is my bane.) Bear in mind that for most of the skills, you are required to drill down. Bastard Sword is a separate skill from Broad Sword and Scimitar and Short Sword and Falcion and Rapier, Hostile Environment: Outer Space is separate from Hostile Environment: High Radiation/Low Oxygen environment, Animal Handling: Horse is separate from Animal Handling: Camel (or, depending on your GM, Riding Horse is separate from Draft Horse), and these are both separate from Fauna Lore: Horse (or Arabian Horse, Shetland Pony, Spanish Mustang, etc.)... I'll just share the character sheet here, because the list is too long to copy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lPJ9wmvDI5UQc_I3bE5E1JkcePMEzY7FXbgH_jtLyYA/edit?usp=sharing Old Rolemaster is an interesting look at what modularity and "let the GM decide" can do to a game. It's not my favorite game, but it does play alright once people know what they're doing, and especially once our GM whipped up a decent excel spreadsheet for all the Arms Law/Claw Law charts.

I signed up to run a few events at an upcoming local con; apparently I'm one of only 3 people running RPG events. I'm running multiple things, right now just Night Witches and WWW, but I'm probably going to add other stuff because I feel kinda bad for the con. A local indie dev is running Ten Candles, which I've heard good things about and seemed pretty popular at PAX East's Games on Demand last year. Another guy is running...this.

Rand: The Got Minening Which completely misses the actual economic point of adventurers in typical D&D style fantasy as being prime wealth distributors. They go out and collect the loot which has been lost to various hazards and then get price gouged to the extreme in order to just go do it again. Otherwise, every adventuring party would break up around level four or so.

From what I can see, it's just a D6-based game. As in the D6 engine that West End used for the original Star Wars RPG and recently open-sourced. Also I encourage everyone to watch that KS video.

You know as much as that is nutcase political wankery masquerading as an rpg, the idea of commoners hiding out in a dungeon to hide from (evil) government knights in shining armor does seem like fun. Maybe I just want to see a dungeon keeper ttrpg.  Maybe it would make a fun board game. The doomed citizen fleeing from government knights and paladins while dodging terrible dungeon creatures. Your hp is your gold. Every time you get hit there is the sound effect of jingling coins hitting the ground. Lose all your gold and you lose the will to live. Could be fun.

They kept murdering evil industrialists, stealing their poo poo and giving away what they couldn't carry.

As much as I don't want to be That Guy at a convention (especially one I'm working at), I kinda want to get into that game and just derail it right away by using my character's loot to actually benefit people. "Okay, I give my money to the people and pay them to build public works. I mean, what the hell else am I going to do with it?"

Oh god that video was so awkward and unprofessional I had to stop halfway through. Edit: also it was a gameplay demo with no explanations as to what he was doing or why, instead of a more general pitch video, which is what I expected.

RM is the kind of game I want to give a shot at some point because I feel like between digital solutions and modern principles of how to run a game, it shouldn't nearly be as much of a bear to play as it first presents itself as, and there's just something elegant about the combined to-hit and damage rolling of the combat.
