  • Things can be extremely hard to hit without needing an big number(eg - having to roll 17/18)
  • Even an -1/+1 is more significant
  • d6 dices are much easier to find than d20

By having you stay long hours motionless in front of a computer, usually sitting, RPGs greatly the risk of constipation and should therefore be considered as a health hazard and regulated accordingly.

D20 sucks but d6 has issues with the power scaling typical of RPGs. Works good in tactical games though.

I am trying to fit in the Codex by having the most consensual opinions, but it is so hard to follow which games I should consider monocled classics and which ones I should consider shit.

Don't be alarmed; the Codex is a friendly and inviting place that accepts everyone, as long as they loathe Baldur's Gate. :love:

Fallout and Arcanum are unassailable masterpieces, Deus Ex is great, but a step down from the big timers, New Vegas is pretty good relative to its era, everything else is shit, especially if it was moderately successful.
