I've always loved necromancers and inventors as characters, probably to some degree because undead and constructs are my favorite types...

Spoken as a man pushing 50...yeah.

Look at Jim Murphy's "Enlightened RPG" for a nice combo of "level" and meta currency. It's a pdf on itch. He and his co-author Steve Key...

I hear you. Anecdotally, in my experience, before 3E we never lacked for DM's; everyone wanted to run a game. Running a game was fun...

I may be an outlier, I've had more character deaths by an order of magnitude in the modern era of gaming (3rd edition and onwards) than...

Well, it certainly isn't for everybody. My group is getting the hang of it, but they forget about combat maneuvers too. It's too bad; I...

We've tried two back-to-back campaigns of A5e (and they seem likely to want to start a 3rd this weekend). They can't run their...

I have two players who started (like me) in the TSR AD&D era. I have another (quite vocal player who also happens to be my wife) who is...

I've run into that problem myself more than once. Had a devil of a time teaching A5e to my group at first. And I still can't get them to...

TORG is fairly pulp-ish in its default mode (though perhaps it's more appropriate to call it "action movie"-oriented), but has the Nile...

In alphabetical order: ACKS II Call of Cthulhu Dolmenwood The runners up (coincidentally, also in alphabetical order): Demon Lord...

The psyknight from A5e's Voidrunner's Codex would be a good comparison class. They're both trying to model the same thing essentially.

I have been thinking about this as well. I haven't thought as hard as you have tho. The class I am considering first is the Star wars...
