I feel 4e did a form of bounded accuracy better than 5e does. It's a simple...take your level and divide by 2 and you have your bonus. This marks for a massive difference between someone who is 20th level, is extremely simple math and extremely easy to remember. The way 5e does it is not...

Good point.

It doesn't make them anymore appealing or professional, in general. Teenagers swear too. Doesn't mean that makes them all grown up or more interesting. Little kids swear also. Normally in copycatting adults. The irony is that these shows swear like little kids swear thinking it makes them...

Looks intriguing, but also looks like it has unnecessary language for no other reason than Gunn never grew out of being a teenage boy and thinking bad language makes him seem cool. Unnecessary language (if they include it in a trailer, that means it's probably going to be a lot worse in the...

We've heard about it for decades. The sequel to Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. We've had some false starts, some fake outs, and even some wishful hopes...but none have turned out. Will it actually be a reality this time, or is it just more of the same old...same old?? Arnold...

When it was originally written, that's how it was. The original write up didn't even have percentile chances or other items, that was (I believe) added by Gygax later. That's also how many played it back then. There wasn't something that said...oh...you have to roll under a percentage to...

That's what it appears to be from the blurb, but I would hope there is more because a repeat of material would seem to be a key point to ensure that this book is highly worthless for most people (unless they are that desperate for the updated and new player options). I would think it is more of...

I think they have a problem, or they are completely abandoning some audiences (which would not surprise me). The webpage doesn't even work on my PC. It simply says..."rotate your device for best experience" and then you can't do anything on it. Like...Rotate a Desktop??? I don't think that's...

I think the OP said he could convert to what he wanted, so, making something similar to the 2e version with lesser damage should do something similar to what he wanted. Making something immune to damage unless it is hit by a specific weapon or item may not be something done normally in 5e...

That's a little larger than what I was thinking. More along the lines of the Water Elemental in 2e AD&D but double the stats. Quick conversion to 5e stats would show something like... So it would have 32 HD with around a 20 AC, doing anywhere from 5-30 damage (normal would probably be...

I've had a lot of success in the past, so I think I'll be good. I tend to have a pretty good nail on who will or won't be an good employee when I ran my own business. Both would not be ideal, but the girl is a better bet than the man. The highest I'd ever probably let him be would be a lower...

Haven't checked to see if they are still around in 5e, but there's always the gigantic Water Elementals you couldl use.

That actually sounds pretty cool. Does that mean, technically, that no one could really ever roll a really bad character?

Yes, I did, but the parody was based upon an out of touch boomer (boomer being broadly applied here to simply mean an out of touch older person who has no idea what they are talking about, this boomer is probably more like a Gen X or even someone younger than I am) trying to mock others, when...

I don't think AI is going to go away, but I think a more realistic approach of how it can and will be used effectively needs to be realized by many of the companies that are trying to push it on their employees or customers. I think that if there is a bubble, it needs to pop and the sooner it...
