This was the third combat of the adventure, and instead of fight it out, we just number-crunched. It saved us 25-40 minutes of pointless dice rolling to just do the math. We're going to hit 75% of the time and kill an enemy 50% of the time. They're going to hit 25% of the time and deal 1-2 points of damage. If you do the math, the fight will probably take this many rounds, and we'll have lost this many hit points. So, let's just skip the battle. Combat is boring."<br /><br />Pretty scathing assessment if you ask me. I don't remember the one time I played being that bad, but I don't remember much of it except being kind of bored. And Aaron is actually one of my closest friends and a damn good roleplayer.<br /><br />Actually, Dennis, I was thinking about trying out a podcast, and seeing if we could get you to skype in, plus my friends Aaron and Dean and see if we could get some discussion about 4E, the OSR, and other gaming systems going on.Dave Cesaranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454928720043301400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-8055472500811238052011-07-31T08:07:11.232+09:002011-07-31T08:07:11.232+09:00Well, Barking, I'm not exactly trying to conve...Well, Barking, I'm not exactly trying to convert anyone. I'm still on the fence about it. I had fun, but there are certain things about the system in general that bug me. They didn't come up in last night's session, and I had enough fun to keep playing the game. It didn't blow me away with awesomeness, but it wasn't a bad way to spend 4 hours.<br /><br />Still, those same 4 hours in any Old School system likely would have seen quite a bit more action, as the big fight took over an hour to accomplish.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255299705122830812.post-921324495461230582011-07-31T00:46:29.113+09:002011-07-31T00:46:29.113+09:00That review does not really make me want to play 4...That review does not really make me want to play 4E or Pathfinder overly much.
