SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Help me choose a d&d edition...

Quote from: LancerI have yet to see a better implemented set of mass combat rules in any RPG- The War/Siege Machine rules in the RC strike the perfect balance between sufficient detail, fast resolution, and ease of play.

And gotta love those Stronghold/Dominion rules.
Yeah, tell me about it. I don't think I've ever seen better rules for resolving things on an army/organisational level outside of REIGN.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Yeah, there are a few of those out there like Microlite20. Though you might be left scratching your head a bit with Microlite20. It really leans heavily on knowledge of 3e/d20 to make it a full game. In that vein you could check out Perfect20. A full core game, coming in at a total of 40 pages.

Yeah, I just noticed they don't explain what 'DC' means.

(it means "you need to get this number or more on a single roll of a d20, once you add in your modifiers, for this action to succeed")

Microlite20 is certainly an impressive feat in condensation, no doubt about that. But I see it as more a very complete GM screen of a full game approximately the same size as Perfect20.
