I was really excited about 3rd edition and I steal am. But after reading the neww design diary about character creation I was very discouaged to see that its a point buy system. I'm not surprised. I had been wondering how you were ggoing to randomly generate characteristics witth the special dicce in the new game. But tell me whathappened to the good old days when you sat down to make a character and never new what you would come up with? Tell me am I the only person left on the planet who wants random character generation in there RPG's? Oh well I'm still going to buy the game if for no other reason thaen I'm a RPG collector and its good to see boxed sets of RPG's making a comeback.
Not another point buy.

Think it would not be a big deal to transfer it to a roll generation system... with a little bit of effort I think it can be easly houseruled...

Point by is superior, a legacy mechanic that is slowly dying a well deserved death. If you really want to I'm sure you can easily generate a half dozen different random systems. The system will include what an average stat for every race is, because every system does, and you can just tailor a random system to that with very little work.

Personally, I always hated random dice rolls for attributes.
I know that life isn't fair and that not everyone is created equal, but these games are supposed to be escapism. It really sucks when you want to be a larger than life character when everyone else in the party is stronger, faster, smarter and more skilled than you through no fault of your own except for bad luck.
I guess that this was one of the few things that I really liked about World of Darkness: a point system.

I understand why alot of people like point buy. its more balanced and you dont get punished for a bad roll of the dice. I just thought it was fun to roll up a character and not know what your going to get. I found that it actualy encouraged you to roleplay a characer you might not have chosen. For example you might roll a meercenary but your weapon skill you rolled low on your weapon skill but high on fellowship. well now you know you have mercenary that relys on fast talking more then his sword arm. Yes p[oint buy is more balanced and you get the character you wanted. But personaly I think games are getting to balanced (4th editions problem). But Im still excited about the game and will preorder it as sonn as its available. I just wish that all the old games that gave you an exciting random method werent all going to point buy.

To say the truth this is one of the things that I actually like in 3-rd edition.
I use kind of point buy system in 2-nd edition. So I'm happy It will be included from the beginning in 3-rd ed.
Posted 28 August 2009 - 09:35 AM
Ok in my games if your character is bad at everything I would let you re-roll the character but in general I don't really like points buy because I find they usually cater to Power Players and Bad Losers, the kind of people that get upset because their Weapon Skill is 4% lower than average!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point buy and random generation both have their places. However, I've had way more fun with random generation.
In my longest running WFRP campaign, everyone started out with a randomly generated character. That particular campaign had three different phases over an 8 year period, and was my most popular campaign ever, having about 22-24 players overall, and as many as 13 players at one point, and only stopped because I moved. By the time the campaign was 2 years old, I wasn't even the one enforcing the random generation rules for new players, it was the existing players - and not because they had originally been forced to, but because "it was more fun."
One of the guys who was in all three phases spent the first three weeks complaining about his Begger PC, Gris. By the time the campaign wrapped up, he admitted to me that Gris was his favorite PC ever, and he was sorry he ever complained about being forced to randomly generate his PC.

It is all a matter of points of view...
Personally I like more the point buy system than the random stats one, but both gave me really good experiences and really bad ones...
I think giving the players the choice, as a group, which one of them to use it's the better solution...
As far as I can go with speculation/immagination the new system seems to be based on 10, rather than 100, so it would just need a roll of a d10+race mod to come up with the characteristic rating...
Adding a little bit of maths to this baseline (once more details on how many points a starting char has) awarding a certain ammount of "skill/action/talent/whatever points" divided by race shouldn't be difficult...
Or at least this is my tought, as naive as it can be...
Posted 28 August 2009 - 12:33 PM
Random is more fun.
I'm not going to hold a point-buy against v3, but I've always found it rather ..bleh. Rolling attributes jogs the mind, makes me improvise and envision the character step by step and roll by roll. Always fun. Pointbuy is very neat and structured, but not fun. And I can't help myself, I automatically go into min-max mode..
Looking at the previews, it seems that there aren't a whole lot of points to juggle. Which is nice. So, I don't think this particular aspect of the game is going to put me off. There are other things that makes my inner grognard want to cry, but not this one so much

A larger than life ratcatcher, barber surgeon or coachman?
Along with condensing statistics down to single die values point buy systems suck even more individuality out of the game. In a point buy system no one creates a dwarf troll slayer with high Fel and int. They stack it in Strength and WS. Whether the character was originally a smart and personable person or not.
This leads back into the same mentality behind dice having 'story telling elements' on them. As soon as you do it for the player, they player doesn't do it for themselves.
Give a player a choice in their stats and they aren't going to do anything but the optimum. Have them roll them randomly and their character will take on a personality immediately.
I hate point buy.

I'm definitely a fan of random character generation. Personally, I think both types have their place. I've never liked randomness in D&D, for instance, where the game depends on a unified party of very capable heroes - and where you can choose everything about your character except for his Attributes, which never made much sense to me.
The complete randomness of WFRP, however, is a large part of the appeal. Just watching another player roll up a character is a lot of fun, something that can't be said about any other game, at least one that I play. I can definitely understand why some players don't like it, but to me, switching to point-buy is missing the point (no pun intended) of the bleak British humor the game is known for.
The Britishness of WFRP gave it such a unique feel and I the last thing I'd want from a new edition is to remove that atmosphere. Though I will say in defense of the new edition, that the most important random element - at least to me - is career selection, which they seem to have kept.
Watching your buddy roll or draw the Soldier career while you end up with Barber-Surgeon and just laugh, shrug it off, and not only make due, but make the best of it is a key part of the experience. I can remember the campaign in which I decided to play instead of GM and rolled a Valet, which caused the GM to laugh at me because the other players were more adventurous or heroic. But that character, who helped save Nuln and was able to mix with high society and eventually became a Knight, ended up being one of the best characters I've ever played.

Completely disagree with you hellebore. I'd say that given the choice a player is going to do exactly what they think will be the most fun for them. If that's optimizing a powerhouse, then that's just what they're interested in for the game. But I've often seen folks build their characters in an intentionally suboptimal way, in regards to brute power anyway. Your whole statement though hinges upon the presence of a true optimal build in the first place. Optimal for what? Are there optimal builds in WFRP anyway? Some folks want to play average duds trying to make it, so what's the optimal build for that?
And I'm not even against random builds. I like both styles. What I find strange is that they've given us the random career selection but then not maintained randomized stats/skills. Of course maybe that'll be cool too....you can't pick your lot in life but you can affect your position within that lot? I don't think its a big deal one way or the other overall though, personally.
So you hate the dice because they're supposed to be injecting specific story points into the narrative with each role, thus confining players and making them lazy roleplayers? But you do like for the system to choose your role for you and artificially confine you in that capacity? But one makes you a lazier roleplayer while the other forces you to be a stronger roleplayer?
At this point in time I simply disagree. I don't see the dice doing anything except possibly benefiting the roleplay. And the character building, eh, I just don't think it matters. Folks that want to roleplay and build a good story, are going to do it regardless of the method. Folks that are only in it for the powergaming, I don't think they're gonna magically have a good time and roleplay well because you force them to go random.
Posted 28 August 2009 - 07:50 PM
I prefer point buy systems to random stat rolls because characters are supposed to be a cut above the average joe. Thats probably why the gods singled them out and bestowed them with Fate Points. One important thing to remember is that point buy is really for PCs only. So you can still have your weak but uncharacteristically bright Troll-Slayer, or dull-witted but oddly tough Wizards Apprentice... as NPCs. You can explore all the unfair inequality that the Old World has to offer through the NPCs and allow the PCs to be on more equal footing with each other. Just because the system is point buy doesn't mean all Troll-Slayers need be equal, it just means that all PC Troll-slayers will be equal and unless you are running a group entirely composed of Troll-slayers, I don't really see a problem with it.
I'm sure if asked (which I'm not asking) all the proponents of random stat generation can give great anecdotes about how fun it was to play their old Beggar, Servant, or whatever character who suffered from bad die rolls during character creation. I would rather have a player happy with his character from the outset and who genuinely wants to roleplay his character rather than one who isn't happy with his character and has no choice but to roleplay his character because it is so ineffectual at everything compared to the rest of the group. Every character deserves their chance to shine in the spotlight and its much easier when each character has an equal chance to contribute something.

I use a point buy system, and can assure you that NONE of my players ever created dwarf troll slayer, an outlaw, or anything like that from the beginning. The reason is, I use theese professions to actually punish the players for their actions. When the player character does something very wrong in a game, I take his current profession (if he has one - yes they can have no profession at a given moment at all) and replace it with chosen by me. Dwarf troll slayer is no hero, and great warrior that is fun to play, it's a death warrant with postponement. Such professions means that players has done very wrong, is not accepted within normal society, has a bounty on his head, or seeks death himself.
Also I only allow to spend 60 points on 6 main % stats (yup, no more WS, and BS - replaced with skills in chosen type of weapon that base on Strenght or Agility). That means that they can max out 3 of 6 stats, and suck in other 3, go average on everything, or try to mix it somehow. And believe me their choices have great impact on what they can do, and how they do in the future (as I redesignet warhammer into a skillbased game, they are only allowed to upgrade another 20 points over their base stats - skills got 40 points, which means if they start with fellowship 20 it will never be higher than 40, and skills based on fellowship 60). And professions rolled in the beggining are only to check what skills and talents they have in the beginning, like what they did in life before the day they went on adventure.When they start an adventure they have NO current profession. They need to find one, and for that there need to be a demand on such a profession in a given place, they need to meet the requirements, they need to find a person that will hire them, or teach a required skill. Fellowship is very important in the process, Inteligence tells how fast they learn etc., so whatever they choose in the beggining has its consequences, benefits and drawbacks in the future. There are no Power Players on my sessions.
You can hate point buy, but as it was mentioned before it has it's place in a game. Everything is about balancing it as you see fit.
Posted 28 August 2009 - 09:24 PM
I really like that they've gone for a point buy this time around.
Sure the 2nd Ed random rolling can be fun, but it often leads to very silly combinations of stats and careers. I know you can raise one to average level making sure your student isn't completely stupid or soldier has average weaponskill, but you can still end up in a fighting career with bad fighting and good social/mental stats, with an unintelligent wizards who has average willpower etc. etc. Which is typically why most GMs allow for either redistribution of the rolled stats or rolling several times - which reduces the randomness a lot.
The most important thing with a point buy system is that it allows for variation between characters, too few points and everyone will be alike (NWOD seems to have reduced the amount of dots too much and there's very little to work with). Its also a good idea to add extra cost for going really high in a stat so you penalize min/maxing.
I realize that a point buy system may be (and will be) abused by some players but I prefer being able to decide what my character is good at rather than taking my chances with a randomly generated one as it's too much of a crapshoot whether or not you get something interesting and playable than way.
Posted 28 August 2009 - 09:31 PM
I also beleieve in the random system because It'll give you a different experience every time. And as someone pointed if you roll bad the GM would let you reroll. And if you have some stats that are somewhat lower that others you'll have to roleplay you way out of it, and that's what roleplaying is all about :-).
I've noticed that when you play games where things are predefined on cards, you will get bored in the end because the cards become to familiar. It'll start to get boring.

Given what apears to be such a small variance in character stats likely doesnt lend itself all that well to random generation so can see why they went for a point buy system. The downside of point buy is the min-max effect that usualy happens in that less points get spent in atributes that are less directly going to effect what your career/ class/ profession stipulates the character's role will be, eg a warrior wont maximise their intelectual stats though they may still average them.
Though I do like the random rolling in 2nd ed and ultimatly your career advances had more of an impact than the rolls did themselves by the time you finish the first career.
Posted 28 August 2009 - 11:18 PM
Well, we don't know how much it will be possible to min-max with the new system - it's easy enough to put limits on that kind of thing, while at the same time maintaining enough flexibility to allow you to create the character you want.
And that's the important thing about a points-buy system. I know players who refuse to play WFRP because the odds of them rolling up a character they actually want to play are slim. "High WS, Strength and Toughness, but only Fel 24??? But I want to play a social character...."

Greer: Male athletes behaving badly
Stunning essay by Australian-born feminist Germaine Greer, author of The Whole Woman and The Female Eunuch, on the destructive and criminal sexual behavior of male athletes, such as that alleged against Kobe Bryant and assorted UK footballers ("Nothing New about Ugly Sex," Guardian, 16 Dec 03). Among her insights is that men behave badly in groups, invoking the powerful bond of "shared transgression and mutual guilt." Also, "Athletes don't get involved in sordid behaviour because they need sex but because they need sordidness." She does try to take a balanced view of these men's actions, seeing the athletes as repositories of others' desires:
All athletes (and managers) live on a knife edge. All are only as good as their last performance. All are incessantly reminded that there is only one way to go after reaching the top, and that's down. The situation of footballers is the most precarious of all. As the last in the pecking order, after club owners, directors and managers, players are denied adult status. They are "lads" or "boys" to be bought and sold, transferred or dropped or left on the bench; as they are denied autonomy, we can't be surprised if they lack responsibility. Their survival depends on luck and is as fragile as a hamstring. Much of the concerted misbehaviour that ends in catastrophe begins as an attempt to discharge accumulated tension, which is no excuse.

I generally like the comics and redesigns, but I don't like Teela's outfit here for the reasons you've stated.
Why would she have her forearms tightly armored, but leave her chest (and so much else) so exposed? I'm all about BG Teela, and if this one had her chest more covered I could buy into it. I also like the 'Shipwrecked Teela' as it was drawn well and fit into the settings (desert, ocean, tropical island...). But this is too much. Comic-geek-fantasy nonsense.
DESPARA FIGURE!!!!!! Yes please. Maybe a sub exclusive?

This is fantastic news and Teela looks amazing - nice to see the return of her red hair look! It's so great to be a He-Man fan right now. The brand is really picking up a lot of momentum and a regular comic is just the next logical step. Hopefully the influx of new product (like the game, collectible DVD's and various other merchandise) is just the start. I see this all culminating with new kids animation and an amazing live action movie.
A monthly comic will keep me satisfied for now though.
Either way, give me my Despara figure!
Maybe THIS is the rumored sub-line?
It's Despera. SHE's someone you know! Shocking reveal in her digital comic. BEST issue of the series thus far!
As Teela lay unconscious after battle in a pool of blood, she and her blonde hair were forever changed. BAM!No, but I'm not too fused. Teela has history as a blonde AND a redhead, so I'm glad that Teela has had some "screentime" with her original hair color.
I do hope they EXPLAIN why she's suddenly got red hair all of a sudden. Maybe she switches up from time to time.
True that!
Definitely add me to the list for a Despera figure. I want her a LOT more than a few of the 80's MOTU guys that are left.
I agree! I'm not 100% in favour of the Hordak mask, but everything else with her design is exquisite! I'm not a big fan of most of the other redesigns, but whomever designed Despera gets an A+ in my book!
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
Really glad they are doing this. The comics so far have been great!
Hmmm....a Red Haired Bikini Teela has some nice possibilities...

I only wish Ed Benes was doing the interior art as well, I have been a huge fan of the guys work ever since his run on the JLA a few years ago. As far as the character designs go, so far they look great. Its really the same basic look just updated, and given more detail.
Can't wait to get this one
Im stoked. I was really hoping the series would keep going. It gives me a reason to keep reading comics.

i'm so excited!... i was JUST feeling alittle sad, because apparently issue #6 AND the origin of he-man one-shot are now both coming out on the 30th. i'd been looking forward to them being separated, as i figured they'd be my last two times of getting brand new he-man comics with my girls. (we've made a "thing" since the first issue of going to the comic store together to get them, and then going to dairy queen for ice cream, and after eating it, sitting in there and reading the comic together)... it's been awesome to be able to experience/share brand new he-man stuff with them together for the first time [even if the series isn't quite stellar], and i was sad to see it go, and seemingly reduced to one single final experience as opposed to two.
NOW... with this awesome news, we'll be able to keep it going! yay!
and aside from that, yeah guys... this is nothing but awesome for the property, its public awareness, and the potential for growth! totally cool!
I have all the digital comics, but now I think I should hunt down the physical books. How difficult are they to find?

One of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles. Almost all EF and TS-E lenses have a Canon lens hood engineered specifically for it.

Meaning, will it be a bunch of reprinted material from Disciples of the Dark God's, The Radical's Handbook and various entries from Rogue Trader and Deathwatch?
We can assume at least 50-60 pages will be "rule" "repeats" and probably 50-80 pages of character classes, origins, skills and talents.
Still, Im getting it.

For the centennial of its first publication: a new edition of a seminal work on the American immigrant experience
Weaving introspection with political commentary, biography with history, The Promised Land, first published in 1912, brings to life the transformation of an Eastern European Jewish immigrant into an American citizen. Mary Antin recounts "the process of uprooting, transportation, replanting, acclimatization, and development that took place in [her] own soul" and reveals the impact of a new culture and new standards of behavior on her family. A feeling of division—between Russia and America, Jews and Gentiles, Yiddish and English—ever-present in her narrative is balanced by insights, amusing and serious, into ways to overcome it. In telling the story of one person, The Promised Land illuminates the lives of hundreds of thousands.

LightLife Buffalo Smart Wings is described on the packaging as veggie protein wings, i.e. a vegetarian option to Buffalo chicken wings. The description on their website reads, "It's about to get a little spicy in here, folks. Our juicy wings are bringing all kinds of sassy sauce to the table, whether it's a party or a plain old Tuesday. So pick up a box and start wingin' it!" Please note the words in bold, we'll come back to them later.
Let me start by saying, if you love wings, as I do, LEAVE this product alone. You will not be happy. You WILL think it's an insult to have the term "wings" in the product name. And "Smart Wings" at that. Of course, this is a vegetarian version, but some things are better left in the meat eating world, and this is a prime example. But, I might have to take some of the blame for making a lackluster product from these vegetarian wings. The directions for preparation on the box provided a "Skillet" and Microwave method. I did it in the microwave and that probably wasn't the best way - over at 125 Pounds, they had a good review of the pan-seared wings - but they did give me a choice!
Now, there are some redeeming qualities to LightLife Buffalo Smart Wings ... or rather, there is one redeeming quality ... the "buffalo" sauce isn't terrible. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "spicy" either, but it was flavorful. And while these veggie wings didn't come out dry, I also wouldn't call have referred to them as "juicy". What really weirded me out was the texture of these wing-shaped, veggie protein pieces. It's better if I wasn't thinking "wings" and was thinking textured protein - then this would have tasted just about as I expected.
A serving of 4 "wings" provides 110 calories, 3 grams of total fat (5% of the daily value), no saturated fat, 680 mg sodium (28% of the DV), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), less than 1 gram of sugar and 13 grams of protein (here's the ingredients list). This is way healthier than traditional chicken wings! On it's own, I have to say this product is lackluster. But it seems like it would work if it were cut up and incorporated into a tasty pasta or rice dish.
The suggested retail price of a 6 ounce box of LightLife Buffalo Smart Wings with 2 servings is $4.79. I received samples of this product to review, and I hate that I have to give it a bad write-up, but thankfully, I know LightLife makes some great vegetarian products, like Lightlife Smart Deli Pepperoni, Lightlife Smart Bacon and Lightlife Smart Deli Bologna Style Veggie Protein Slices.
Have you ever tried vegetarian wings?

"You may vote in this Council even though your Repr. was killed. Play: After 1 of your Repr. is killed."
Can this AC be used by the Nekro, to circumvent their inability to vote?
For example: The Nekro use their Councillor to destroy most of the council. The Councillor effectively killing itself in the process.

In contrast, the positive Racial Ability of Creuss allows them to "always use Wormholes, regardless of other game effects or restrictions" such as ACs and PCs.
