I have never ever seen a Hackmaster thread in this board, so I made one. Seriously, why isn't this more popular? It's basically a perfect mix of AD&D, GURPS, Palladium Fantasy and Rolemaster all in one neat package. Combat being pretty tactical but not overwhelming, also character creation being a mix of random with point buy is probably one of the better ways to handle minmaxxers. Now, after I sold my pitch, would you give it a chance? The Basic rules are free and give you all pointers to start playing and seeing if you want to try the more detailed rules.
>>96158482All of those are great games though
Bold of you to assume /tg/ actually play games. Also, still no news on Kenzer new game.
I don't want to mix all those games since I have zero interest in GURPS or Rolemaster and would rather run AD&D and RIFTs on it's own. Dealing with point buy crap is not a plus in my book.
Last I heard the AD&D side of it is underpowered with characters being half a strong so a high level hackmaster character would be dealing with low-to-mid level AD&D type adventures, again not a plus in my book.
I'm way more interested in Aces & Eights when it comes to Kenzer.
My old Hackmaster group disbanded so now I am stuck playing PF2e.
>>96157880 (OP)I don't even really understand how to play rolemaster 2e much less the hundreds of clones made by buckbroken MERP fans.
>>96160946Hackmaster only take the critical table from Rolemaster, the main mechanic is AD&D d20 combat and d100 under for skills.
Dark Eye is a better "Random with Point Buy" D&D clone
>>96161085>DSA>betterAt least post good German RPGs.
>>96161342Ich sekundiere das รผberlegene Krautismus Bleistift-und-Papier-Rollenspiel.
>>96157880 (OP)How many premade modules are there?
I never could get around the "everything happens at the same time" initiative thing.
>>96157880 (OP)Because hackmaster fucking sucks as an actual system. It's a meme purposefully made to be obtuse and overly burdened with complex mechanics, accessories, and tables for the purpose of a joke.
Also, knights of the kitchen table fucking sucked ass and is a boomer-tier grog comic.
>>96170743Only 4e was made as a joke system, the new one doesn't have that.
>>96161342Wasnโt the setting of Midgard the DSA setting in the first edition?
>>96168140
>>96172544No. Aventurien is older than the setting of Midgard, but not the system.
TDA always had a completely different system and setting.
