For those people who say there is a market and WOTC won't suffer if they published it, how do you explain the Hazodee fiasco or the Volos Orc PCs iasco? Both of those were certainly less "mature" than Darksun and WOTC faced a ton of pushback for them. There was a market for both and Volos by...

Monks are awesome at Grappling. The best class I have seen since the 2024 rules came out. There are a few reasons for this: 1. The Punch and Grab part of the Grappler Feat is ideal for Monks. Sure any PC with the Grappler feat can do it, but others have to make a relatively weak unarmed...

I don't think playing that way is a problem at all, do what you want at your table. Heck the game has had hard core racists and homophobes that have played and enjoyed it. In the Dark Sun game I am playing right now my PC is a Human who eats Halflings (mostly because they captured and tried to...

I was trying to say the opposite. To clarify - My position: "In a historical book or textbook no [it is not a problem]. In an official publication of an RPG yes [it is a problem]." Poor wording on my part.

With the same CO2 emissions per capita and roughly 100% more people, you end up twice as much CO2 pollution coming from people today than from people in that time period, and this is before we consider other greenhouse gasses.

No they didn't. Boomers were children in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Plastic use was not nearly as widespread, it wasn't until the mid 70s that the first commercial plastic bottles came out and it was not until the mid 80s that plastic bottles were starting to be used on a scale comparable to glass...

Thanks for the feedback. Yohoho is a definite buff, but both the bonus action and the concentration compete with HM so I think it will be balanced. I think the idea in weapon finesse is versatility among your light weapons, it makes a club and pistol, two classic pirate weapons, much better...

Stereotype much??? This guy destroying modern art this week does not look like an angry grog to me: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/climate-activist-throws-bright-pink-paint-on-glass-covering-picasso-painting-in-montreal-180986865/ While I am at it I will point out that I am not a...

I don't know what this has to do with what I said or with Darksun. I did not mention climate change at all in my post, to include in the part you quoted, and the environmental catastrophe on Athas due to the defilers and Sorcerer Kings does not have much, if anything, in common with IRL effects...

Buccaneer - A Dashing scoundrel who sails the seas Level 3 Poly Want a Cracker: You can cast the Find Familiar spell as a ritual without any material components. You can't cast this spell except as a ritual. Dead Men Tell No Tales: Once a turn you can Sneak Attack as a Rogue. Your number...

In a historical book or textbook no. In an official publication of an RPG yes. The latter is a game and one that affords the opportunity for players to play explicitly evil characters. You can present canabalism, eugenics and slavery and the Sorcerer Kings as explicitly evil, yet players in...

I am playing a low magic campaign which is not really my thing usually, anyway I am doing a Human Rogue-Monk, currently level 12 (7 Scout Rogue/5 Drunken Monk) both classes use the 2024 rules with the 2014 subclass features. She has grappler feat and man she is a fun kick-butt PC, rolling in...

They actually lost at least one spell - Searing Smite, which was buffed in the new rules, used to be a Ranger spell, now it is no longer on their list. :mad: I think these three need to change to accommodate spells that are either non-damaging or non-concentration. I also think it needs to...

For something intended to simplify, it seems rather complicated and also prone to exploit, espcially when combined with masteries that are purposely lacking on light weapons (Sap!). It also does not address what is the biggest complexity problem with the rules, and that is the different damage...
