I would not mind a weapon breakage subsystem introduced in a Dark Sun campaign book, because metal weapons are rare. That could be fun, and appropriate for that specific sword and sorcery style game if magic weapons are rare. But it feels like a waste of space in a traditional D&D game where...

As much as I like the new stat blocks, there are enhancements that I would like, but I'm not sure if the templating would work universally. For example, I would love for spells like Fireball to get an 8d6 (28) Fire damage note so I can just click it on the monster stat block in Maps to roll the...

I like the changes. A lot. @Lazybones does a good job pointing out some benefits. I like the organizational layout of saves, skills, and resistances/immunities/vulnerabilities. Initiative with the (average initiative) is a surprisingly helpful time saver! Better HP too. Much more interesting...

I am against using skill-enhanced ability checks for combat accuracy, whether for flat DCs, or opposed checks. Ability checks can reach the DC 30s and 40s, which is wildly outside the scope of bounded accuracy for combat accuracy.

I think they are differently complicated, and they could be a boon to certain types of players that learn, or visualize, or math differently. My relative who is more into board games is now more interested in playing D&D for the first time. The single character sheet with only writing and math...

Isn't this a little much? A Role-Playing Game does not need to look like D&D to be a RPG. Whether you use minis and a grid, theater of the mind, or a screen, or use dice, or cards, or digital RNGs or other resolution mechanics, if you are playing a character where you get to role-play their...

Are you thinking of an actual rapier, or of a fencing foil? I used to think that foils were rapiers. Thinking further, even just thinking of size/scope, most weapons sized for Medium creatures, seem unsuitable to harm a Gargantuan dragon. Can a dagger even get through the subcutaneous layer of...

The DMG has the optional rule (Variant: Training to Gain Levels), where the PCs have to spend time and money to level up. I am using that rule in my current campaign. I am also using downtime and bastions to slow things down. The PCs started at level 3, and it has been 7 months of in-game time...

I already have a narrative challenge with players reaching high levels in short periods of game time. "Listen here, fledgling 'heroes'! I am a mighty dragon who has spent decades building my power and influence, and putting my plans into motion. You will never stop me! Leave me, and don't come...

The right people online at the right time, to engage in an online debate with passion and verve. I mean, your words caught my eye more than anyone else's. Now you have some attention on a forum. It's a double-edged sword.

I'm not calling you out, just taking a guess why you are getting the reactions you're getting. You've made some extreme statements about what should be allowed in a game where the primary conflict resolution is unaliving things. Are your words being construed as accusing others as engaging in...

First, Dark Sun is a mature setting. It's sword and sorcery and it breeds anti-heroes who have to kill to survive. If a Templar becomes an ex-Templar, they did so for a reason. They broke ties with their tyrant, and got to keep the powers. If they are intimately familiar with the nature of the...

I mentioned in another thread that I really want a good houndfolk species to use, but I'm posting here to not derail that thread. Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions that I can actually review before buying? As for what I don't want, I'm not looking for a species that is tied to wolves...

I want a real effort toward a quality houndfolk species that does not have inherent magic like the Humblefolk species, has some variants, and isn't a shapeshifter (Reskinning a shifter doesn't work for me as the shifting mechanics take up too much design space.) Shifter is close to what I want...
