Not having a meaningful contribution to the game is boring. I'm completely for crazy free-wheeling games sometimes (I have a 1E Gamma World game I run that is just that), but the Dark Elf player had a point. I'm not sure what you would consider "meeting you halfway". It was a little disappointing to see you dismiss his concerns, because you've otherwise always seemed like a cool GM.Fey Corginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-19468171656634426652011-02-01T20:51:16.377-06:002011-02-01T20:51:16.377-06:00Don't worry, you can't please every player...Don't worry, you can't please every player, and part of the fun is being weak and getting beaten up sometimes. <br /><br />I agree that the system sounds like a good way to handle large scale battles, with dice equaling chances.

I'd have been toast if I let myself get caught alone, but I felt I was contributing to the party's overall fighting effectiveness.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248105744263116792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-52361864030194151072011-02-01T02:42:17.916-06:002011-02-01T02:42:17.916-06:00Dude with 1 die javelins should have chanced his a...Dude with 1 die javelins should have chanced his arm with Saving Rolls instead.
