@katre @apontious I'd echo this. My current group is in our 3rd Shadowrun campaign. The 1st one was Shadowrun 5E and the rules were just so terrible. One player actually quit because he just couldn't figure it out.

We moved to #savageworlds for the 2nd and 3rd. The group absolutely loves it. While I typically GM, I'm playing now and my Face character has been so much fun. I'm able to essentially Buff/Debuff in combat with my social skills by rallying my allies or taunting/intimidating goons.

@OskarGhoti mine is largely boxed up in the garage now so no photo 😞

I've got some of the same as you #atla #mutantsandmasterminds #monsteroftheweek #dnd but I also have a ton of #savageworlds books, #shadowrun 2nd, 5th, and 6th, and #RiftsRPG (both Palladium and Savage Worlds)

@TheDigitalDM I'm not very consistent with checking in this way, but I think it's a great idea. In my #L5R campaign I set out for 12 sessions and quickly realized we were going to 15-16. After session 7 I asked the players individually:
- What would you do to enhance the story so far?
- What would you change about your character?
- What would be a rewarding resolution for your character's story?

Part of this was because I had one player who I felt was not enjoying the character he picked.

@neatchee @nikelui @LizardSF @NullNowhere The death spiral is possible, but mitigated by other game mechanics such as Soaking damage, and spending Bennies (similar to Luck Points in some ways) to reroll saves etc

In practice it hasn't affected our table in 6 campaigns and dozens of one shots.

@neatchee @LizardSF @NullNowhere Damage can be soaked to avoid taking Wounds. Shaken prevents a character from taking actions, but still allows them to move. It's super easy to remove, but if a character fail to do so, it makes it easier to Wound them.

It works really well at abstracting the complexities of combat and health, while still giving both sides the feeling of achieving something. It's the most elegant system for this I've seen, and avoids the "War of Attrition" from HP systems
