      The more time and detail you put into the game outside of gametime the more in game gametime you have to play without all the deciding rollplay delays. Its just levels of detail. Its always been an option and it always will. Detail a lot or a little its up to you. The game still rolls along. How smoothly depends on how well you know what you are playing. Detailing is one way to get that done. It is just an option. Repeated play, consistent rules, and decisive character creation all speed up...

      Then limit your choices. Its detailed out to give multiple options for multiple levels of detail and play experience. You know or your players know how much they can handle. The game isn't being designed just for you. Its being designed for everyone. You need to pick a level of detail provided to build your capable level of game detail. Its about options as little or as much as you can handle. You then pick a level of gameplay mechanics you can handle. Its up to you. Wizards is defining the...

      This part caught my eye, "Down the centuries, many elven crowns and a handful of human and dwarven ones have magically retained some of the memories or even the sentience of previous wearers."
      Cormyrean nobles where crowns of rank that denote rank and station.
      I bet a few of these are haunted. :D

      In my Eberron based homegame I have the fabled Galifar crown and others from each of the five nations possess some memory recollection of things pertaining to the nation. Each crown forged from minerals and gems found in the heart of each possessing a land sentience and loyalty to the lineage of Galifar heirs. Some crowns confuse and others aid depending on the wearers true bloodline. Great minds think alike.

      The conventional pantheons are strongly influenced by the cotemporal expanse of the Far Realm which led to the stratification of the Outer Planes. Events in the nonlinear region are essentially fixed and it is convenient to think of them as causative to the Cataclysm out of which the demihuman races (and yugoloths) arose. Though seemingly made over into our own, however, the same universe still exists in which the celesternals are not divided between angels and devils, and persist in their...

      Similarities in appearance and behavior have led to the existence of confusion among the original protohumans, humans, and contemporary protohumans such as gith and fey. Besides humans and mermen, shadar-kai, githyanki and githzerai are all descendants of wildmen, who were initially adopted by their protoillithid patrons because they demonstrated admirable loyalty to the group. Fey have both apian and wildmen blood and were shaped by their exposure to elemental forces, whereas the disobedient...

      Enjoying the playtest packet a great. Gives me just enough to play the way I want to play. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. I actually DO like the skill dice mechanic a lot, so a bit sad it might be going away, but I'm going to trust the alternatives will be just as interesting. Thanks for bringing in bits & pieces of the past, and reinterpreting the system with a more modern feel.

      Sir Corin's got a point, there's a character in my group doing just what he says and the guy isn't greased up, just punching a lot. They're likely to beef up such feats, which would bring him onto par with the barbarian in the party, so I'm not sure Sir Corin's reservations aren't misplaced. Sorry about the triple negative.
      I appreciate Clan Battlerage clarifying h/h view of how maneuvers could work like powers. I think maneuvers have to be defined a lot more specifically to make their...

      Pondering the direction of skills. I asked myself what skills would I say I possessed in my life. Sadly, I can only think of two exemplary (Carpentry and Performance - day job vs. aspiring actor). My conclusion is this:
      *Skills are vague in most cases - Looking at Perform (not a listed SKILL in this iteration as yet), obviously there are many types of performance (Dance, Oration, Acting, Painting, Sculpting, etc.). So it seems to me that a general Skill (ARTISTRY) can represent a sub-skill...

      I've used Gary's concepts as the basis for my campaigns. While I can see good tweaks, the basic system has worked surprisingly well. I also like the idea that a Wish spell is granted by the closest power, which was great fun for me as DM. I put that to good use when a demigod like Zagyg is granting their wish... And, of course, never cast an Augury when in the Bandit Kingdoms, since it is answered by an agent of Iuz!

      Okay, first of all, Adam never rode Cringer, so there's no reason to mention him on the list. Furthermore, it's rude and possibly a little sexist for you to mention Battle Cat and completely ignore She-Ra's Spirit/Swift Wind (and yes, Adora actually did ride Spirit, so it makes more sense to mention him than Cringer).
      Anyway, I vote for the Luggage from Discworld. Not the most reliable of mounts, but it did get its owner from place to place in a hurry every now and then.
