RPG Thoughts: The bare minimum
When I start looking at a RPG, there are a few things I want to know. They are benchmarks to see if the game is going to be realistic enough to be enjoyable. This isn't to say that any of these are absolute dealbreakers, but the more of these they pass, the better I feel.Can you kill someone with one shot of a knife?

But Why?
Although recently I've been using some commercial game systems (GURPS, Hero) I have a tendency to prefer to create my own game systems. This can be considered a bit weird or odd by some folks, and even put others off, since it means having to learn a new system to game with me.
The thing is, I've played a lot of systems, GMed and read a lot more. Generally I find that most game systems have in recent years been heavily design by committee, or are the work of one person a... Read More
