Games like 4e?

depends on the type of editor. copy editor, line editor or even technical editor.

Anyone here played Strike? I like 4e but I want something that runs a bit faster and can handle some old-school dungeon crawling(Something that handles multiple smaller fights rather then 4e's setpiece battle approach)

From reading it looks like a somewhat faster 4e. Didn't actually manage to run it

I play (GM) Strike!

Making multiple smaller fights is a bit tricky in Strike!, because if the players roll over the enemies without taking any significant damage (and they will roll over "easy" enemies, unless some lucky crits or being caught in a really bad position happens) then they recover without spending any resources.

That said, you can easily tweak it so HP damage does carry over between fights (or limit recovery in some way) and only goes entirely away between long rests. That would make a full crawl very, very brutal.

You may want to replace the entire out of combat part with Lamentations of the Flame princess (it even uses d6) and optionally hand out 1-2 skill points / level for maximum oldschool.

>Limited multiclassing when hybrid rules exist
>Thinking powers don't become more useful as you level up in a world where Low Slash, Come and Get it, and Lightning Daggers exist

Like OP the rest of those are personal opinion but two of your reasons are straight wrong.

Good, good, you are one step closer to realizing which system is actually the best one.

I've tried it

It's not to my taste, but it is certainly faster than 4e

Another thing you could do instead (if you use the "built in" core rules) is handle weak enemies like traps or other random obstacles you need to get past, and ask for either creative solutions or skill rolls.

Those can end in twists/conditions, and you are free to go brutal with those.

The book actually contains a mini rules-blurb for playing hardcore deadly classic flavored dungeon crawling games.

With all that said, you may still prefer going with an OSR game instead, however.

Cool, thanks for the input. Gonna read it through and see if it´s worth tinkering with.

I´m allergic to games that are stuck in the 80's and still use THACO and races as classes unfortunately.

>is to have a new and polished playtest document released soon.
And how do I get a hold of this document when it releases? Do I have to buy it, or will it be public?
