    How Complex Do You Prefer Your TTRPG Systems In General

    Yeah, but you can also use them in a VTT by grabbing the images. Yes, tactility is awesome (and I think some ofmy online players are using physical cards in front of them?), but most of them are just rolling their physical dice and telling me the result.

    Pathfinder 2E Do you think 1st or 2nd edition is more complicated?

    Both donkeys and mules are excellent at crossing rough terrain. THere's a reason we did logistics trains with the latter especially! Sure, they're not defying physics the way a goat can but anywhere you'd get a heavy treasure load you could get ponys/mules. Plus ya know, mules have a great...

    Ok my bad, I should've said "classic dungeon crawling in the OSR sense" since you know, he's referencing teh OSR scene a lot in that blog. And generally that's the vibe they preach: extraction of loot to gain xp over fighting, working to use smarts over character abilities (potentially...
