    D&D 5E The Short Rest Adventuring Party

    I do it with homebrew that functionally makes every class short rest. I hate the way the system as written requires attrition. I want the flexibility to use one encounter a month or five in one day depending on the story without the pacing screwing with interclass performance.

    D&D (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    I mean with the crypts I get it, you can just have more obstacles and more size and the party can come back rested (although I feel like I would get bored of that sort of thing... Third day back I'm asking myself why are we here just to suffer?) but with a Base Raid? Definitely not in my games...

    D&D (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    I've been homebrewing and tweaking 3rd edition for close to 15 years now, it's second nature to me at this point lol. No complaints so far, but they don't really have to keep track of anything. For spontaneous casters it's just an in-world timer where I let them know which slots to mark...

    D&D (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    Yeah I've been running a playtest group with it for eight weeks so far (a playtest group differing from a typical group I would actually use the system on by virtue of each session is testing a level instead of my usual organic story based leveling approach) at levels 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and...

    D&D (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    Are there D&D Players who actually like such a system? It's so complicated and punishing and totally destroys my vision of what it means for a character to grow more powerful and resilient by evolving as a being through leveling up. Not saying it's bad on a mechanical level, I don't claim...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 and support for other playing styles/subgenres

    In a way it's a strength of the system with sufficient system mastery. Rather than being forced to come up with unique stuff (although unique stuff is awesome and any time you're inspired it's fantastic to make it) I can grab any creature, slap on the feats and possibly class levels/spells/gear...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 and support for other playing styles/subgenres

    No problem. Just curious, have you experimented with backporting the monsters (or at least their special abilities) to 1e? The 2E monsters feel really really good

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 and support for other playing styles/subgenres

    It wasn't his assessment that I was expressing gratitude over. It was his point by point analysis. Fwiw, I really really like Paizo's ideals as a company. Publishing their rules for free online is amazing, and they were a driving force keeping 'My D&D' (3.X) alive when the parent company...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 and support for other playing styles/subgenres

    I know I'm about a year and a half late, but I really want to thank you for this analysis. Everything I've heard about PF2 up to this point was either fans singing its praises or 5E/OSR diehards with generic and not useful offhand criticism. As a former 3.P GM who spent over a decade in the...

    ICv2 Reports On RPGs Growth This Year

    Based on multiple YT reviews... It doesn't seem good... D20 style leveling, colors as classes, zordon era obsession (don't get me wrong I loved that era, but at this point it's what, 15-20% of PR at most?)....

    Goblin Slayer TTRPG preorder

    That's awful T.T Mine had a dent in one cover but it was in solid useable shape, just not collector condition.

    Goblin Slayer TTRPG preorder

    I really like the Dual Attribute system where a Primary and Secondary attribute are combined for each Base Ability. Carving Strength, Psyche, Technique and Intelligence into Focus, Endurance and Reflex expressions of each. (No clue if that's general Sword World or Goblin Slayer specifically.)

    D&D 5E The Hit Point Model of Resource Recovery: Spell Pool Variant Paladin Example

    Can you elaborate on how these changes are expected to bring about Objective 3?

    Goblin Slayer TTRPG preorder

    Yen Press lists a few sources for the Ebook for 10$ usd. Haven't managed to find a... Seafaring PDF yet, but when one turns up I won't hesitate to use it for printing sheets for a book I already own.

    D&D General Why does D&D still have 16th to 20th level?

    I wouldn't. I have him as a 20th level character. Just an ordinary 20th level character like every other Chief God in my universe (although I am vaguely tempted to either create a 21st level or open up a bucket of 'epic boons' to some OverGod who oversees the cosmology as a whole lol.)
