so I may have to run 4e


Or at least a 4e powered game.  My daughter caught me reading the 4e-based fan-made Adventure Time RPG.  It seems pretty groovy, despite being more fiddly than I like.  She used this character creator to whip up a PC.  You get to choose your level up to 5, so of course she maxxed out her character.

Other more eccentric wizards choose almost anything from sweaters to toast to cutlery. Your source of power provides a great deal of flavor to your character and can be used as a simple way to customize a wizard. Any power that contains they keyword Source indicates your chosen source of power. Once chosen, you may not switch power sources. E-veeeeer.  [Elizabeth chose Sparkly Crystal Powers.]

    By the gods, that character sheet is immense!

  2. In this instance, and only in this instance, I am specifically down with 4e.

  3. I had no idea an Adventure Time RPG existed! Checking this out. 4E seems well-suited for crazier everyone-gets-powers-every-fight situations.

  4. it kinda changes everything

  5. While I fairly despise 4E, after having given it various chances to appease me (whatever I mean by that) an uber overpowered, everyone gets crazy schnitzel system is about what it would take for an Adventure Time RPG. It also doesn't surprise me that it is powered by 4E as that is what the creator of AT currently plays.

  6. On the other hand, this proves that Jeff needs an Exorcism.

    4e can be fun, you just have to approach it for what it is, and want to play that kind of game. It's not perfect, but as a battle game it is interesting. Of course these days we play OD&D, so take that for what it's worth.

  9. I've written complete rule sets that were shorter than this character sheet!

    Ah, to be grade-school-age power gamer again!

  11. This is why I've kept the existence of the AT rules a secret from my daughters, lest I be strapped like Conan upon the Tree of Woe, forced to DM endless games in the laknd of Ooo to the expense of all other amusements.

    I give it a month of playing before Jeff gets so fed up of 4e that he throws the dice towel on that one in.

  14. This may be my son's gateway to DM-ery. He's played plenty of D&D (and Mutants & Masterminds and Famma World and DCC) but never run his own game. He wants to run AT and he read through the whole rule book last night, even telling me some things he wants to modify. Reading guides plus making house rules is the beginning.
