Maybe that's my easier answer. <br /><br />Also, if you can actually step back and look at house rules and the base game, and two different systems and say they just as different, there you are. If you're honest with yourself, it's an easy call.<br /><br />From most of what I've seen the core of the rules and systems employed here in this blog are on the setting side, an intentionally vague area of most systems. The greatest changes I would have to say are with the combat system, and even those sound like they would improve the game.Oddbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12091924105175846386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-4425427974148360282010-11-26T15:22:32.277-07:002010-11-26T15:22:32.277-07:00Organic is a much better word, my apologies for an...Organic is a much better word, my apologies for any unwanted implications from the word 'perfect'.<br /><br />It is very much a question of 'how many drops of black before the white becomes gray'. I do not question that your game is very, very, VERY similar to AD&D straight 'out of the box', to the point where someone could play for months or years and never notice any real changes. So where the line from 'White' to 'Gray' may vary from person to person, often people will just keep adding a few drops here and there and then one day sit back and say 'you know this isn't D&D anymore, it stopped being that about 30 drops ago' and go from there.Zzarchovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714805545939725730noreply@blogger.com
