I mean, I do curate Doctor Who RPG sourcebooks.<br /><br />In this case, it's AD&D 2nd, but I sort of kind of use DrWho's initiative system, Story Points (showing my work next Monday, in fact), Mana instead of spell slots, access to Savage World's Adventure Deck, and I don't want to fuss with Encumbrance, Weapon Speeds, or even traditional XP (characters advance by 1000 points per game and leave me alone). A LOT of leeway is given to give this game a "rock band of adventures" (Tenacious D?) tone.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-67990167542889416942018-09-10T15:12:53.166-03:002018-09-10T15:12:53.166-03:00Yeah, when did "narrativist" become a di...Yeah, when did "narrativist" become a dirty word? I remembered you mentioning 2nd Ed. before and assumed you were one of those Grognards who prefers the older system to the new stuff; I stand corrected :)<br /><br />Mike W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-46669235928102573602018-09-10T12:02:40.197-03:002018-09-10T12:02:40.197-03:00The only edition I still have in my collection is ...The only edition I still have in my collection is 2nd, and it's the one with the Complete Bard Handbook, but I do simplify the rules quite a bit to get to the story. I'm not at all "old school" (I'm one of those filthy narrativists), I just have a lot of older RPG books.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-29044594885201223802018-09-09T20:27:43.497-03:002018-09-09T20:27:43.497-03:00Well, it wouldn't be D&D without a tavern ...Well, it wouldn't be D&D without a tavern (or part of one) getting burnt down. You probably mentioned this before, but which edition are you using? The Forgotten Realms setting makes me think it might be 5th, but I know you're an "old school" guy, so I just wondered.Mike W.http://www.eruditegorilla.comnoreply@blogger.com
