Has anyone said "tabletop master race yet," or am I the only one to do that?

@scribus That is also fun. Big fan of 3.5 and True20.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:02:19 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I miss 3.X so much...
Monday, 06-May-13 22:04:23 UTC from web-
@scribus 4 is garbage IMO. Very boring, very restricted. I've heard 5 is worse.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:05:18 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx They're already on 5!?
Monday, 06-May-13 22:05:35 UTC from web -
@xeleanorxrigbyx 5 exists..? ...
Monday, 06-May-13 22:06:11 UTC from web -
@xeleanorxrigbyx Anyway, I didn't exactly *hate* D&D 4, but it played way too much like an MMO. It wasn't a terrible system, but it sure as hell wasn't Dungeons and Dragons.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:06:45 UTC from web-
@scribus I've heard it works great as a baseline for an online game, but it always just felt like a board game to me.

@scribus I had a couple friends who were test running it a few months ago. Are you kidding? Those books are so expensive. It's like they don't care about the game mechanics, just pulling in cash hand over fist.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:06:45 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx But it's exactly like that. The old systems are good and solid. Updating is dumb.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:08:27 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah. It just keeps getting more and more locked down.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:09:35 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Less like a true RP and more like a digital game
Monday, 06-May-13 22:10:51 UTC from web-
@nerthos Agreed. My favorite system was honestly True20. Tons and tons of customization options and only used a d20.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:11:58 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I actually never tried it. I suppose I could find a rulebook.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:13:22 UTC from web-
@nerthos There's one main book for that one and you can get pretty freaking far with it.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:14:07 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I'll get a PDF then.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:15:51 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah, the PDF shouldn't be too hard to find online.

@xeleanorxrigbyx What's True20 like compared to Pathfinder? I've only got experience with Pathfinder. xD
Monday, 06-May-13 22:14:08 UTC from web-
@minti I've not played Pathfinder, to be honest.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:15:19 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx @minti I've heard that Pathfinder is pretty much D&D 3.5 Continued (by a different company).
Monday, 06-May-13 22:25:58 UTC from web-
@scribus Hmm. If I could find a DM (so very very hard to find) it may be worth a shot.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:26:47 UTC from web -
@scribus Pathfinder, according to my DM, is basically 3.5 more focused on actual RP. Going back to the old road.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:28:09 UTC from web -
@scribus That's exactly what it is.

@scribus 1/24 scale slot car racing?
Monday, 06-May-13 22:02:28 UTC from web-
@calvinthedestroyer Whatever rolls your dice.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:03:52 UTC from web-
@scribus What is table top racing?
Monday, 06-May-13 22:05:59 UTC from web-
@calvinthedestroyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Wars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Wars:_The_Card_Game
Monday, 06-May-13 22:18:53 UTC from web-
@scribus That one looks cool, we've thought about getting that one

@scribus Is there such a thing? ADnD2.0 was awesome, but really, customized systems are the best. You just pick a popular system and modify it to your taste.
Monday, 06-May-13 22:06:43 UTC from web-
@nerthos Pretty much, yeah. I pretty much never stuck strictly to the books. Way too much fun to make up my own stuff!
Monday, 06-May-13 22:07:46 UTC from web-
@scribus Sitting with your group and deciding how you'll modify the system is the way to go.
