Wat! no XP for hurting people and breaking things??

[mark hill]

This is a major departure from old TFT .. you used to get exactly the XP for hits put on an enemy, (before armour subtraction), plus their DX in XP if you put in the death blow ('dude, you keep stealing my kills and Ima gonna frikkin stab ya!') making these bloody minded primitives press the attack, even sometimes at great stupid personal risk to themselves .. like a real fight, ya know?

Im not saying dont give XP for roleplaying, cleverness, cracking a funny or saving the day .. but please consider, the mentality of the samurai or roman or viking or amazon or aztec or merc scum or just plain orc-racist dwarf types (or dwarf-racist orc types as the case may be) that work for the red-handed, ruthless (yet utterly pragmatic) Thorz .. who hunt bounties for more than mere gold .. who collect gargoyle gallbladders cause they HATE those horny headed bastids .. for those who pray to MARS or TYR or DYAREELA or TEZCATLIPOCAS or POSEIDON EARTHSHAKER or MIGHTY CTHULOOOO and love the clash of bloody arms for its OWN sake. The severed heads, arms and legs, the cold, stoney-hearted coup de gras and corpse looting, the lamentation of their women and loved ones driven into slavery, cold winter, starvation, destruction and exile ..

something that really was the reason I loved TFT back in the 70s and have GMed it for 40+ years. Something that TFT did waaaay better than any other game Ive EVER seen. Dont let Fearful Mars starve. Just DONT. WHO"S WITH ME?? IN THE NAME OF THE BLOODY BLOOD GODS, WHO'S BLOOOODY WITH MEEEEEE?????


ok thats my 2 sestersii .. Ill get off of the rostra now .. now tell me Im way outta touch with modern trends in RPGs lol
