Over the years I have become more interested in traits-based RPGs than class-based. I think it gives you a lot more flexibility to come up with less trope-y characters. But I have a soft spot for BECMI and AD&D. 5e is pretty good - I totally dropped out for 2-4E (dabbled a little in 3, then as soon as I had all the rulebooks, 3.5 came out...)ããMy current groups use either Roll20 or Astral Tabletop. I actually prefer ATT because it has a nice macro language you can type in for dice rolls and so forth in the chat window. It's also easier to get a map set up to the scale you want. Roll20 is for sure the BMOC though.ããIf you're interested in a BECMI or 1E game, PM me, and let's talk!ããFelixã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Your character has a class, butãit is only a temnplate for starting your career. FUrther advancements you buyãwith XP points. The power level is wwwaaaaaaayyyyyy toned down from regular D&Dã3.5 in order to avoid game breakage - which is notorious in 3e's high levelãplay.ããI am partial to Warhammer's 1st and 2nd systems. They are class based (in theãsense that your character gets a class that defines which sort of things youãcan train) but you can switch classes and the whole thing is very flexible.ããBtw, if you are interested in classless systems, check out MiniSix. It is aãminimalistic fork of OpenD6, one of the most intuitive, streamlined systemsãever made. Its engine powered the old Star Wars game from Wet End.ãã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
