In response to this thread, and a little bit of the Evolution thread. D&D24 has ten ancestries, including tiefling and aasimar. D&D14 has nine, including half-elf and half-orc. Level Up has eight, not including any of the above as separate races. So... you're writing the next PHB. It's your...

Just did a quick multiplayer run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. I played Metalhead, using Light/Utrom to play as more-or-less a support debuffer; anyone I shot had a few seconds of Guard Break, Electrified, and Guiding Light... dealing less damage and taking more damage.

I had a player pull that on me once-- his PC was amnesiac and being hunted by enemies from his past-- so I rolled with it, tied his enemies into the story the other PCs were pursuing and the game ended. Good DM, right? Started a new campaign, he did it again. So I rolled with it again, only I...

I don't have enough expertise/experience on the topic to have an opinion worth sharing; PF2 seems more complicated to me, quite possibly because I'm already intimately familiar with PF1 and the PF2 rulebooks are just... impenetrable to me. Thank you for this. I've got a full playset of PF2, and...

Yeah, it's gross. The sort of restrictions we're discussing are... on the level of house rules. They should be clear and up front before the in-character portion of the game starts, and they shouldn't change unless there's a massive problem at the table. I'm not going to call it "entitled"...

Sure. It's always a conversation. But sometimes, that conversation ends in a compromise, and sometimes that conversation ends in a "no". I like working with players to help them get the most out of the game, but I put a lot of work into preparing my games and when I say something isn't on the...

And I'm frankly astounded that there are multiple people in this thread that think that's something a DM needs to outgrow. I enjoy player-driven and collaborative worldbuilding exercises, but the person responsible for providing the game world isn't allowed to decide what they put into it...

Okay, that is some heinous BS. There are a lot of people in this hobby that need to grow the hell up.

Speaking of reasons I'm no longer a part of this fandom.

Wrong generation. But when I tell people I'm five-foot-nine, I always follow it up with "niiice".

Phantasy Star and Esper Genesis.

I don't know, somewhere in the 6-7 range. D&D 5e is too simple, but 3.5 and PF1 are too complex and I've heard PF2 is worse. You can use optional rules to sand PF1 down into the sweet spot. HARP is perfect. (On this point.) Palladium, not including RIFTS, is just about right. Alternity.

Yeah. The  concept of class limitations by ancestry is sound and valid-- with or without ancestral classes-- but the implementation left a lot to be desired. I think there  should be a default set in the core rules, but with a sidebar saying that it's not set in stone and umpires/tables should...

I love playing healer/buffer classes. One of the evolutions I'm grateful for is the fact that I'm no longer locked into Cleric if I want to play them. Not only do I just personally prefer keeping my friends alive and helping them fight better, but it makes the more Goodish members of the party...

Drop a fireball on me, we're cool; most of my friends try to kill me sooner or later anyway. Cast an enchantment spell on me, and after I've destroyed everything you ever loved, I will make you love new things just to take them away from you.
