I guess Beacon makes sense as a name, but it annoys me that they are not using it to stream Beacon the RPG: BEACON TTRPG by Pirate Gonzalez Games About the gleemax thing, I am sure as a "central hub" it would also have featured streaming, or planned to, if that would have been a bigger thing yet.

Not sure if this counts as city or if its too small (it counts itself town) but Hammerfast is telative short (36 pages) and quite cool: https://www.dmsguild.com/de/product/188113/hammerfast-a-dwarven-outpost-adventure-site-4e Else the neverwinter campaign setting is quite good, if you dont...

I really did not understand this. I looked forward to draw steel quite a lot, and there are other 4e inspired games out there with really great layout etc to take inspiration from like Beacon (or even the work in progress wyrdwood wand). And this pdf costs a lot more and has no colour to help...

So a CR 8 has CP budget of 3900 for a party of 5 with medium xp on that level being 750 this is medium encounter sure, but surprise does also increase difficulty. I mean no one died, but this was also 0% fun because there was 0% decision. Its just the GM having fun by making up a horror story...

Its always funny when GMs decide that negative things is good for Players...

And its not only expensive, its also really bad laid out, felt for me really unprofessional especially since it makes reading the rules take even longer than normal.. I would start with something cheaper and easier to read maybe ironsworn which is free and more different to D&D: Free...

Yes he is wrong. As someone in boardgaming he should definitly know more than 2 examples of completly new games. Deckbuilding with Dominion should come to mind as one. And then there are other candidates, like Risk Legacy as the first Legacy game which started a new genre. And with his old...

The amouns of powers which were multi attacks was always small. Well one should assume a baseline though, and not measure things on outliners, especially if you write guides. If 5% of the options are way above the rest, then these 5% of options are not "good" and the others "crap" then these 5%...

But are the mechanics so different? It is a quite typical non magical class. Needing to activate class feature with action tax With its own keyword to make it sound more different Multi attack based Just forcing some athletics etc. based attacks (which other classes also need to do...

I was also thinking about shadowdark. It has some changes (mostly spellcasting) but to big degrees its just 5e stripped down (with more focus on dungeon crawling).

And the Thaumaturge is one of the more exciting classes, thats the sad part. They have at least with some interesting choices with the implements, which are not just sleightly empowered basic attacks. I think the problem is that they do want to have "Build diversity", and if they suddenly...

Most people playing RPGs never did read the rules of those RPGs because they were just explained to them. Exactly what I mean. You are people who read rules, and this is required in PF2, while in 5E almost no one reads the rules, because its not necessarily. Thats why you dont see the...

Ah I would give a different explanation. With how much GMs online excuse their misbehaviour and how often GMs form bubbles in online discussions, I would expect that a lot of the bad GM behaviour of an AI just comes from these GM discussion groups. So we as the players must train the AI the...

I think for D&D it would make a lot more sense to create something similar to a colour pie specific for D&D in a similar vein D&D 4e made. With 2 dimensions 1 dimension being the power source: Martial, Primal, Arcane, Divine And the 2nd dimension being the combat role: Striker, Defender...

Your groups of people obsessed with PF2 all of them having spent/wasted 100+ hours reading about the system? PF2 tends to draw in more people who like to spend many hours reading about the system and because they do the same thing with other systems (where this is not necessarily) they...
