Thanks for compiling these blog links. Very interesting reads indeed. :)

Great OP. Pointing out what they are unsatisfied with without ranting and offering why and suggestions. I sure have not read all 13 pages of replies but I sure hope they don't slam the OP (b/c they stopped reading about 1/3 of the way through). I have to agree with the OP in some ways too. Over...

Be great if it was the #YearZeroEngine instead :)

This sounds awesome. I don't play OSR but love converting stuff anyway, so I might just have to check this out :)

Great topic and OP by the way :D

There is no too far for me. I love settings defined by rule changes. I especially love settings defined by what is NOT available as much as what is. I love trying new mini-settings that mess with core assumptions as much as I like playing in generic fantasy settings. As a DM I create...

Yes. I have a purple dragon ruler of one of the lands in my expanded Elsir Vale setting :)

It has been done previously, so I imagine a whole draconic-themed book is a possibility. The 3E Draconomicon was a brilliant book and 4E even did two of them - splitting into Metallic and Chromatic books. I quite liked all the extra dragons in those too, especially the iron dragon and my...

That's what I was thinking. Rather than a setting with all dragons, sometimes a setting is defined by what is NOT there. I would like to develop a mini-setting where the gem dragons are 'the' dragons of the setting. Dark Sun was perfect for that and I did use psionic dragons in that setting.

Ha, that series on Iomandra inspired me a lot. But I could not wait for Chris to flesh it all out. I ended up making my own map and developed the setting further all based on Chris's initial ideas. I have kept a very draconic theme to that setting. Most beasts have been cross-bred with draconic...

The psionic dragons from Strongholds & Followers look amazing, as did the miniatures they did for them. I did not get them, but they looked great. Well, I got 1 of the little ones :D

Yep, I always print out a map and write where each monster is, and little triggers for when PCs might hear them and vice versa. A map with DM notes is very handy :)

No, this sounds interesting and the exact sort of article I like to see. :)

THIS is a solid review. Actually specifies what the changes were. I think this is very useful, especially to those that purchased the previous books. Well done - very informative.

And yep. Totally thread-killed again...

I have a feat that does exactly this. Adds +1 Strength or Dexterity & choose another fighting style. So it has a prereq' that you already have access to them. Are people suggesting this should be available to anyone? I was thinking this could be a little too good, but wonder how people feel...

Got to say, I am fine with most changes here. I am glad for the additions to the spell lists. I wish 5E had some sort of limitation to the size of divine caster lists - that way they the designers would be more inclined to add spells to the lists (esp. cleric). We have a house rule that does...

I loved Taladas. I inherited the box set etc from a friend that no longer plays. I love what they did to make the races unique.

I put the 2E (system neutral really) World Builder's Guide - as I love using random tables to make my own locations and settings. (I have expanded on the tables in there over the years ;)).

Haha, same. I just want more as options for my settings. I like them all. When I make characters I roll all these parts randomly anyway :D
