The Diamond fiasco is unfortunate, and a reason I wouldn't crowdfund anything from Green Ronin right now. Just too risky. Besides, I have Champions, MM3e, Marvel Multiverse...Sentinel Comics...probably more. I've actually gotten Marvel to the table, but that's about it.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD FEB 4: Do you tend to prefer horizontal (broader utility, more special abilities) or vertical (increased existing stats) character progression?
Posted: Wed, 04 Feb 19:20:02
Correct answer! Although, I do prefer more mechanical progression than Kids on Bikes (but slow progression is fine as long as I get character depth with it). My players always want more of both, faster = better for them. Probably more horizontal until the cognitive load gets high, then vertical from then on.

I tend to find horizontal more interesting, but vertical requires less cognitive load - Number Go Up doesn't really excite me, but Number Go Up is easier on my brain cells. There's only so many character abilities I can have on my sheet and actually remember them all.
Which means I tend to prefer horizontal for shorter campaigns or flatter level structures, and a bit of both for longer campaigns or steeper level structures (so as to limit cognative load involved in horizontal growth)... But I don't actually find I need much in the way of mechanical character progression at all. I've been playing in a Kids on Bikes: Second Edition campaign for about 5 months now and that system doesn't have much in the way of character growth at all.

In case you didn't read the email update that went out yesterday, Physical Flea Market tables are now on sale via my.cardboardevents.com. Last year, we sold 80, and they sold out almost instantly. Also, if you want to be one of the 1st people in the room for the flea market, consider a VIP badge. VIP's will enter first :)
