Bazza Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings Allow me to be the first to respectfully disagree. ok. I'd discuss it further with you but my heart is not in it. :) Except that the brain is mainly responsible for feelings, with help here and there. The heart is just a pump. So, Brain wins again. Just sayin. Certainly the pump is the major function of the heart, I don't believe it is the only function. I reckon that it also has mystical/metaphysical fuctions as well, but don't ask me what they are. So we're really talking about "the man who wants to cuddle" vs. "the man who prefers to avoid public displays of affection". Don't you know, SNAGs are in!

Dr. Anomaly Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings If HERO is supposed to be a universal system' date=' how does play the Amber diceless rpg in HERO?[/quote']Well, you... uhm... that is... [shakes fist] Curse you, Bazza!!! The answer is, of course, you don't... and that's because they're both systems and the question you should have asked is "how does one play in the Amber setting using HERO"? Even when you convert things from other systems into HERO, what you're converting is the ideas and content, not the system itself. So there's really no paradox at all.

[/quote'] Yeah, I realised that, but why throw away a good rhetorical question? And the answer is: that a system that specifically designed to model a genre/setting(1) etc will mostly be the best system for that game. This includes universal systems as you are mapping the elements to that system. The benefit is that you don't have to create a new system for each game. (1) The system for Dying Earth RPG comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
