Introduction

Looking for more opportunities to play other rule systems. the last event allowed us to get a few more to fill out our current campaign in Swords of Phalos.

How long have you been gaming?

27 years and counting

How many players do you prefer in your group?

4-6 is optimal, but i've GM'ed groups upto 9.

What balance do you like to see in your game towards RP and Combat? 50-50? 70-30?

60 story development - 40 combat/dungeon crawl

What is your favorite class in any system? Why?

dont have one. any class is good if played well.

Tell everyone about YOUR current (or ideal) game.

Swords of Phalos is the evolution of a rule system that was originally assembled about 20 years ago, based on first edition D&D, Fantasy Trip, Traveller, and a couple other rule systems.

Additional Information

"site has pages detailing skills, spells, and some of the game mechanics, as well as a character generator. a new version 5 website is in the works with more information and a redesigned character generator."

    Game Stores in the Portland Metro area
