Yeap, the procedural is probably more in line with what @Lanefan does. Long running campaigns where the main cast changes as needed. Episodic adventures with a thread that occasionally runs through them. I tend to prefer a more serial approach. Which is why APs have been so good for me. 1-2...

From James Jacobs back in 2010

Thats a tad different than what we usually do with level 1 and 2. Its usually light speed (1 session per level) to 3. Though, we do a lot of experimenting to find out the soul of the character to flesh them out from conception. So, count me in as liking your idea a lot.

Oh yeah thats more to do with short rest and long rest classes design than MC, IMO.

I guess because of 5E's "cleanliness" its really not an issue like it was in 3E/PF1. 🤷‍♂️

I didnt know this wasnt cancelled yet.

Well, yes that was the intent of prestige and I liked the concept. The execution was either an uplayable PC or an overpowered monster. MC in general lets you trade raw power for more versatility.

Its odd folks worry about this. Even in 3E it was fine. It was prestige classes that were an issue.

I dont, but im now fascinated about finding out.

Also of note, even thats changing. It sounds like they are going with a bigger quarterly release. Thats a shame because I think doing 1-10 and 11-20 versions worked well as campaigns. Also, folks dont think of it often, but individual chapters of APs work excellently as modules that can be...

Yeap, I think d20 was first and foremost built to be a Swiss army knife for power leveling fantasy. Thats is a good thing, but its also a only good for a general thing. Which is why horror, cyberpunk, mecha, anime, etc.. All just feel like D&D when using D20/5E.

I dont think so. Many TV shows get numerous seasons when they ought not to. They go incredibly long, have winding plots and sub plots. Much of that is to blame for the need for content filling streaming, but also the nature of the business side of running a show until the funds get cut off. Even...

Im actually repurposing Alien for a Battletech con game I plan to run later this year. Stress piles up as your mech takes damage in combat and you are pushing yourself to the limit to win the day. Action dialed to 11 instead of horror.

Hmm... Is this really a Green Lantern story I actually want to see? Cant wait.
