The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

My OSE group sort of told me that they are not into OSE? Specifically xp-for-gold, dangerous environments, simple character options. All things I love! I'm very disappointed. But then I read the one dnd playtest, and as my eyes glazed over in boredom, I vowed not to run that game again.

About to start as a player in a new DCC game and I am psyched for it! I haven't been a player in a D&D game since early 2016 (not counting two sessions of a 5E online West Marches game that had perfectly fine DMs but that had an overall tone that did not match my preferred playstyle or the setting).

Damn straight. My zero level gong farmer, turnip farmer, wheat farmer and hobbit chicken butcher are ready to go!

Sometimes 5E, while "easy mode" compared to my previous fave (3E, which I grew exhausted by), feels too complicated for me these days. I still like it, but when I hear on the latest One D&D playtest intro video that there are going to be 48 subclasses I shudder.

Shhh. Don't tell anyone in the D&D forum, but I am one of those weirdos who'd rather my wizard be stuck using a crossbow because he's out of spells than spamming the same cantrips over and over again.

48 you say? Might be time for me to give 5E another shot.

Oh, that's just the beginning!

There will be 12 official classes.

Those classes will be divided into 4 groups of three classes (Warrior, Mage, Priest, and Expert).

Every group will have the ability to have chose between three Überklassen.

Then, of course, each class will have four subclasses.

Every subclass will have five Unterklassen.

Unless, of course, you choose the Gestalt option, in which case you get to go a la carte for all of your choices between Überklassen/Group/Class/Subclass/Unterklassen, using a modified point-buy system lightly based on easy-to-understand principles we all learned in linear algebra, with a slight gated system for half, full, and chained feats.

Me: Considering limiting cantrip use to 1 + proficiency bonus between short rests.
Them: What are you going to give them in return for this nerfing?
Me: The challenging fun of figuring out how to overcome limits.

So you've heard that they're introducing calculus to the tired old "bounded accuracy" in One D&D? I know, I'm excited too!

Should only require an abacus as Gygax intended.
