Rule zero can save you from bad dice. I wonder if the player-characters would say the same thing. "Remember when we stomped that dragon that kept tripping over itself?"

Does this mean that a successful attack can do no damage? It looks like the Damage Dice need to succeed, or they don't do damage. And they're reduced by Armor Dice (successes) as well? What is it about hex-maps that is so mysterious and inviting? More seriously, how do the rules for...

Maybe take a look at this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/rant-the-conservatism-of-d-d-fans-is-exhausting.712674/ Or, for comparison, look at a power from Modos 2 (edited): Fear 1 Maintainable: yes Effect: if the target is in a non-defensive posture, it can use actions only for defense...

I mean, it is called "Chaosium."

I'm guessing it starts at about 50% of the salaries of those who "willingly moved on."

It's not really a role-playing game if the point isn't . . . Something something fiction.

I'd include "game that seeks to use the minimum amount of rules necessary." It was one of my design goals for Modos RPG, which you can start playing with just one module: 13 rules. Sounds minimalist to me. Unless when you look at some of the rules, you're saying "why does that need to be in...

Two (Nexus) mods for two of the issues mentioned in this thread: Poor scaling of difficulty slider: Difficulty Slider Fixed (I use x2.0) Annoying compass and step count: HideUI

XP for effort. I hope it was fun.

Please tell me you can order the miniatures directly through the game.

Psionics already are in a lot of games, but they're called magic. Magic requires a book, scroll, wand,  something to assist with casting, and of course, magic words. Psionics just require having a brain, and that's all that a lot of magic systems seem to require.

A good psionicist could answer this just by reading my mind. The more spellcasting systems the merrier, provided they don't slow the game down or make it harder for the GM.

Wailord? I really don't see much potential in a D&D/Pokemon crossover. Maybe try out Level Up's marshal: Marshal | Level Up Several other options for 5e appeared with a Duckduckgo search (see Images).
