Converted from Phorums BB System

I'm sorry but it seems that some of you want a system so simple as to be boring and requiring as much concentration as a computer game. I stopped playing DND3E because at higher levels (beyond 14+) the games mechanics fail to suspend disbelief...actually at pretty much any level I suppose. The d20 combat system is basically just so pathetic I can't bring myself to play it anymore.

If you want a system easy to play I would recommend Warhammer Quest or FIghting Fantasy Books. Hell, why not just do away with dice and charts alltogether and use rock, scissors paper. ;-)

GM: Roll to hit
Player: Scissor
GM: Paper, dang you killed my Orc
Player: Muhahah. I am mighty
GM: The minotaur swings his axe at your head. Flip a coin. If it's heads go get one of those character sheets over there.
Player: Lets play Everquest.

I am not impressed by a review that suggests that most gamers are so dim as to not be able to do primary school mathematics in their head, and who don't care about armor and weapons used beyond their + to AC or to hit.

My two cents worth. Flame away. <grins wolfishy>

BTW, I have HARP and love it. I am also a veteran GM - of DND (all editions) , Rifts, Robotech Rolemaster and Ars Magica - of 23 years so take that into account when flaming me as a newbie or ignorant schoolie.
