Every time I play it, I just sit there smiling like an idiot. It touches me in that naughty spot, I guess.

I can’t agree with this more. Man, I loved that fricken game.

I’d like to look at the Cold City rules again first. It may not be neccesary, but I seem to remember thinking that we had done much the same mechanics more elegantly.

Also, if you’re still thinking of showing Max Headroom this week, I’m not free Tuesday after all. I completely forgot that I had other stuff going on, but I think that’s the -only- night I’m not free, as of now.

What features of Verses would you like to incorporate?

I’d like to thumb through Cold City again sometime soon.

We can also think about using modified Verses conflict mechanics in conjuction with Cold City. I wonder how it would work in a game that is primarily player vs. player…

I found that once you get past the R-tards that want to play D&D (any edition really) like a murder fest, the story elements really do show up. The skill set of 4e streamlines role playing A LOT. If you need to tell if someone is lying? Insight, if you need to talk your way out of a situation? Diplomacy, intimidate someone…well you get my drift.

The trick is playing with people who understand that non-combat sessions are worthwhile, then you can see how D&D can work in those environments.

Unfortunately, like most games, role playing or otherwise, if the players are not on board with playing the type of game you want to play, it’s often a wash.

pisses me off a bit, because all the 3.x’ers are bitching that it’s just a combat system when fuckin 3.x was the SAME BLOODY WAY.

Tainted? Awww that’s harsh. If anything, playing this makes me appreciate story-focused games even more, as I more deeply realize what I’m missing.
