The Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG is a fast-paced, open-feeling rules set that permits epic game experiences without unnecessary tethers. It uses modern, thoughtful rules while paying homage to the earliest days of roleplaying and the Appendix N stories that inspired them. As one reviewer wrote, "This isn't your father's D&D -- it's your batsh*t crazy uncle's D&D, straight from the smoky basement with faded black-light posters on the walls and '80s Manowar blaring on the old tape deck. You might turn up your nose at first, but once the seven-sided-dice start rolling, you find yourself sucked in."

Look overall magic is always a problem when it comes to balance. I think too often we think in terms of game mechanics rather than role play. A spell caster wields great power and are far rarer than a skilled swordsman. The only hope most mortals would have against them in reality is magic, cunning, or faith( and on rare occasion science). Even Conan had Crom whom he beseeched when matched against sorcery. So when fighting a wizard as a martial character you do not engage them unless you can get close and the closer the better. A spell caster grappled, with the hands of an enraged barbarian around his throat is likely a goner magic or no. Like wise a barbarian caught in the open or unawares by a well planned spell or series of spells from a spell caster often finds himself at a severe disadvantage.
People who complain about caster vs physical classes in 3.5 always seem to over look the encounter rate and nature. A wizard has a d4 hp for a reason. he has to do everything to avoid getting hit at all because he will quickly lose his handful of hp. Hitting a sorcerer with a lightning bolt cast bay the appropriate CR and he is good as dead. Cleric spells are intentionally weaker to grant be supporter. As much of an ego stroke as it might be to cast all your buffs on yourself, they wont be nearly as effective as putting them on the barbarian, who can take the hits and not lose the concentration of those 5 spells. 3.5 was designed to be played together. The SRD Feat bloat eventually weighed it down but over all if you were moderately smart (standard deviation above the avg IQ or more) and not selfish but played as a team, it was by far the most liberating and interesting version of the game to date. You can build your floating castle or rage and wrestle your dragon or just clear a graveyard of a few rogue zombies. 3.5 let you ask what do I want to do and then you just needed to figure out how many levels until your Temple of Pelor shots sunbeams at the trespassing nonbeliver.
"is it too flippant of me to make the claim that such people are naturally competitive? (The claim from Emotions of Play Revisited)." In my case, I don't feel that would be flippant at all. One of the things I find most fascinating about your articles on play emotions and game styles is how they consistently further my understand of something I only had a vague awareness of previously: How 'unusually' competitive I actually am when it comes to video gaming. My unusual emotional reaction to video games I think stems from this - any video game can potentially make me angry! I'm absolutely certain it is the level of emotional involvement that I get from video games that is a huge part of the reason I find them so entertaining.
Very interesting blog here. As an aspiring game designer (haha), I feel somewhat out of place among such studious people. Regardless, the types of rushgames really look a lot like gameplay paradigms. So would paradigms, having emotions and different stress factors associated with them, be broken into three types of games: wargames, rushgames, and luckgames? 2ff7e9595c
