Bought the Conflict Rulebook here:
Conflict Roleplaying Rulebook (PFRPG) PDF and I have been reading through it. I really looks like a very interesting game that I'd like to play. Who are on? Perhaps we can get an online game going?

Well thankfully that much we can easily answer. here it is

Hi Kolokotroni:

Thanks for that link. Somebody from this forums PMed me this site: Conflict RPG

@Brian: I haven't heard of Lone Wolf. I agree that a GM would be a good addition to the games if only they were sensible enough to make the game even more fun for everyone, or at least have the sense to make it logical.

@I_use....: Sadly, maturity is an expensive commodity right now that no one bothers to buy.

@Auxmaulous: 100% unbiased mindsets are even rarer :) I do think that we all have wish lists like perhaps getting an oracle as a GM (no biases, no revenge, no skewing).

@Leifstorms: I've been hearing about Conflict on other boards, sounds like fun. But I wasn't able to find it when I googled it.

That will be interesting, but to be honest, the storytelling would suffer if there were no GMs around when they are supposed to. But if you have agreed upon the set of rules that would govern your game, then why not try it? I think there are games that are designed like this. I've played some and have liked it.

I'd have some skirmishes with GMs before, actually had a lot of them, especially when they make it less fun to play the game. You mentioned that you've played some games, is it still within Pathfinder (what did you do) or some other game?

Thanks for you inputs guys.
Auxmaulous, kinda interesting, let me work out how that goes or should go.
Cold Napalm: I have nothing against thought exercises. :)

They have em listed at number 2 on the website

According to ICV2, Pathfinder has been number 2 since it came out. And that does not include PDF sales; however, since WFRP and 4E cannot be bought as legal PDFs I think the retail sales are even more telling. And I've been monitoring Amazon sales at a pretty regular basis -- every time the Core Rulebook has been in top 10 (or top 20 at worst), even outselling 4E products occasionally.

i really don't get it why 4E is selling. I think it's lamer than 3.5. Maybe it's the curiosity or the loyal fan base. Pathfinder should have topped it =(

Maybe give them the option for Stupify! to cause lethal or non-lethal damage. And maybe give it a scaling carrier effect, like dazzled or fascinated or shaken or sickened or fatigued, staggered or lesser confused or frightened or nauseated or exhausted, dazed or confused or panicked or paralyzed or asleep, and then stunned or insane or cowering or petrified or unconscious.

There should also be a way to use Stupify! to make ranged Combat Maneuvers, like disarming wands, bull rushes, and trips.

EDIT:

And don't forget to give them the option to have familiars (Hedwig, etc.), trademark magic items (invisiblity cloaks, flying brooms, magical practical jokes, etc.), etc.

Maybe have different kinds of magic wands that act as Spell Focus for certain types of spells, like a phoenix feather for evocation, a porcupine quill for necromancy, etc., stuff like that, but which makes more sense.

Amazing additions if you ask me. I specifically like the trademark items, sure would give the class some degree of authenticity!

Thanks for taking my love for RPGs to a whole new level :)

I think it's much more fair to roll rather than using pointbuys.

I have been reading about how players are lamenting the high degree of control the DMs have when it come to campaigns. I was wondering what your thoughts are when it comes to having no DMs for a game? Or perhaps limiting his control to just facilitating the game, not changing anything so that the story takes a life of its own?

Got my shipping notice today - what a nice birthday present! :)

Belated happy birthday. Am still waiting for mine :)
