Honestly, I don't know what to think of Storypath Ultra (the standalone system) from what I've seen of it... It's a divergent path of the Storyteller system and with the changes to it I wonder if it left something behind of what the Storyteller system made so attractive in the first place...

In early editions of D&D things had very defined roles, even having mechanics exclusive to those classes (% of the Rogue for example). D&D Basic (red box) even included species in the class, HeroQuest (boardgame) did it the same way... 2e added 'kits' to add some more variety, 3e went with a...

Happy news then, FVTT V14 has that natively for ApplicationV2 framework modules: Release 14.349 | Foundry Virtual Tabletop The final version will most likely require V14 to be used, that's what I remember them saying, and Ember will be/is a ApplicationV2 framework module... As for moving stuff...

I suspect years, at least 5-6 before they would even consider giving up on the license... And if we'll ever see another book for FFG SW, I doubt it at this point. Maybe a second edition IF Asmodee ever gets in a better financial situation and I suspect that's also going to take years. Now, look...

In 20 days, 6 years. (Starships and Speeders) FFG (and it's spinoffs) has had the license for board/card/miniature/RPG games for almost 15 years, which is longer then WEG (11 years) and WotC (10 years). Looking at the Asmodee situation, the pandemic didn't help, the sale to Embracer didn't...

I don't think WotC/Hasbro would be interested in the SW IP for pnp RPGs at this point, it seems they are concentrating on their own IP or trying to develop their own new IP. Which I find a shame, because an official 5e compatible version of SW would be interesting! I extremely dislike...

I got alpha access during the KS. For our group I talked about a few options with some of them, Ember was an option, but in the end, we didn't go for it, and in retrospect I think that was a good call, better wait until it's done, done. As such, I haven't DMed in it. I do install the latest...

If you use an existing methodology for sandbox creation, you're stuck with that specific style of sandbox. And as you indicated, you have weird tastes... ;) Wouldn't it be more efficient to streamline your own methodology? When I look at Balkan + Western, I would start with either the Earthdawn...

I've read them, I've absorbed them, maybe I just have a different perspective on what you wrote then you do? "Invalidates"... No, you just chose to ignore them. And isn't 'projecting' what we do as players and DMs, we roleplay a situation based on our (perceived) experience... The incident...

@Reynard The issue is not if you're right about it not being railroading or the player is that it is railroading. It's about what the player is experiencing. A couple of points: Your pnp RPG sessions do not exist in a vacuum, people have lives outside the game that will heavily influence how...

I wonder... Are you an American or from somewhere else? D&D was popular in the 80s across all of Europe that wasn't the Soviet Union, maybe not in the same way as it was in the US, but there were translations all over the place. But it had competition from other pnp RPGs games as well...

Poor Khartoum...

Dragonborn of Bahamut in 3e are creatures that are not born, but made by Bahamut, the counterpart to Tiamat. Tiamat = Takhisis Draconians are made by clerics of Takhisis (as in the power of Takhisis makes the Draconians). 4e made the Dragonborn into a playable race in the PHB and left out the...

We weren't talking about a person that played in the 80s and doesn't play anymore. But we were also not talking about D&D fans in general. We were talking about consumers that buy D&D products now, RPG (adventure) books specifically. We don't care whether they actually play D&D or not. A FR fan...

Dragonlance Draconians => 3.5e as an option in an expansion book => 4e as a core race in the PHB and came to all D&D settings, including FR...
