RPG Question

[pyat]

What is that new Savage Worlds game like? I was peering at the Solomon Kane hardback at Bayshore on the weekend and almost picked it up, but didn’t want to plunk down the cash on a game line I know nothing about.

All I know is I hate it because it uses more than one die type.

You would love the HERO system, I bet! Handfuls of dice, all the same type!

DICE POOLS? NOOOOOOOO

Not pools! Oceans!

Have you played 2nd edition Paranoia? 1 twenty-sider, and nothing else!

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

I don't know... twenty sides is a lot...

Prince Valiant, then. Coin flips!

Or, I guess you use some kind of diceless system... or, you know... play Candyland. ;)

So what we need is the d4 system? :)

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

d4s are pointy!

Nobilis?

Flowers are smelly.

Well, skill checks are always on 3d6, like GURPS ... but far moreso than GURPS (at least at the superheroic level), in combat the effect of those skill checks can result in handfuls of dice.

Those little, teeny plastic boxes packed with 24 or 30 D6 dice I'm pretty sure were created solely thanks to the hunger of HERO players to have a large set of easily packable and usable D6...

And the Warhammer crowd. Hehe... my husband has three different boxes of them.
