I have no particular knowledge about litterature and mostly, english is not my language, which makes my opinion about style or even grammar completely worthless.Bhoritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240688745758454387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296217090459018399.post-4921994823005145372012-01-19T00:25:17.103-08:002012-01-19T00:25:17.103-08:00Yes indeed, you have to pick one baseline.

That's what I mean by compatible. But the word is maybe too strong, because you can not play one game and then shift to the other (though there are guidelines for that in MSPE).<br />What I did mean was that one game can be used as a sourcebook for the other. You don't need to change the rules you choose (T&T or MSPE) to use parts from the other game. But I am not sure what to call that (interoperability?).<br />The difference in experience handling is the most significant, I think, making MSPE far more gritty and much less cinematic than T&T.Bhoritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240688745758454387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296217090459018399.post-28174273205867148162012-01-18T15:40:44.277-08:002012-01-18T15:40:44.277-08:00MSPE and T&T are not "Completely Compatib...MSPE and T&T are not "Completely Compatible" - there are significant differences. Like 2min vs 30 sec combat rounds, missile weapon difficulties to-hit, advancement mechanics, unarmed combat, T&T lacking a skill system... You have to pick one or the other as a baseline in each of those cases. <br /><br />Looking at one element alone: Stat Gains from levels... T&T is a multiplier of the new level number and a fixed value by which stat is raised. MSPE is raise a stat 2 points at level up.... at 4th level and higher, this makes for huge differences.aramishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308648707448646351noreply@blogger.com
