    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I should also note I had some weird system where characters could spend XP to gain NWP/WP and thieves/bards could continue to improve thief skills - it was probably overly complicated. And looking back I think bards/thieves were capped at level 10. Basically once you stopped gaining HD you were...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    Cool I did a similar thing with second edition except capping characters at level nine. It worked fine mostly. I tried the xp cap at 300,000 but it didn’t quite work as the Druid xp table is kind of… odd. My solution was either a hard cap at level nine or making Druids use the cleric xp...

    D&D 5E Which played-out D&D trope needs to die?

    Cultists. Trying to awaken a sleeping God and/or bring a God to the prime material plane. I don’t even remember what modules used for plots before cultists.

    Do You Know Your Glaive-Guisarme From Your Bohemian Earspoon?

    Well claymore literally means "long sword" or "great sword" in gaelic. So the scots used to term to refer to the longest sword in popular use at the time. Similarly the german "zweihander" literally means "two hander". I'm sure most of you knew this though, so sorry for being "that guy"...

    D&D 5E Do you want your DM to fudge?

    As a player I am fine with fudging as long as its rare, subtle and I don't know about it! As a DM, I rarely fudge the die rolls, usually only for new or young players and if it can be done in a way that no one knows. I roll most dice out in the open though so its pretty rare!! What i might...

    How do Governments Align?

    I would also argue with your definition of evil. Although pragmatism at ANY cost definitely COULD be evil, it could also be neutral, I would argue that truly evil people get some sort of joy out of the suffering of others, and seek to actively cause it. Similarly a neutral person could be...

    How do Governments Align?

    I think the problem with Aligning governments is they are usually full of people with different alignments and morality systems. I mean socialism or capitalism could both easily be good or evil, depending on who was running things. However my personal opinion is that power corrupts, so all...

    D&D 5E Not liking Bounded Accuracy

    I love bounded accuracy. My favorite version of the game for years and years was E6, and 5th has essentially "supplanted" that. I wish i got to play more E6 but my players couldn't get over the smaller numbers. as for 5th edition, it isn't perfect, but i feel they got more right than wrong.

    D&D 2E What would you want in a 2e AD&D inspired RPG?

    exceptional strength is one thing i actually really liked about the earlier editions, and mostly just because, to me it made sense to me. as someone who formerly competed in the "sport" of "power-lifting" (not very successfully i might add). The difference in strength between truly strong...
