Thank you for sharing all this valuable advice.

Fair point. To explain my thinking: After: reading 13th Age, particularly the escalation die mechanic playing 5th reading about Balsera-Style and Greyhawk initiative planning a campaign for a single player, and two players i thought that it would be cool if you had two or three initiative...

Yes, i'd be interested in taking a look, thanks for the offer. One question - what was the incentive for writing something you wouldn't use? Unless it was part of your process.

Alternative initiative systems, including: -Elective Action Order/Balsera-Style/Popcorn initiative -Greyhawk initiative (modified not to penalise bonus actions) ...but playtested to oblivion. Port the rules from Gumshoe/Lorefinder to 5e - the conversion should be easy...

Would you consider including alternative initiative systems in the wishlist of features?

The Fandom & Cortex+ alliance is the gift that keeps on giving! My 12 year old self would have been over the moon with these news! I owe it to him to get this and play it. Thank you guys, looking forward to it! Nostalgia overload :giggle:

Yeah, not for me. Not at that price.

Many thanks for the extensive example, appreciated. I got the hacker's toolkit a while ago but never invested the time to go through it. I think i'll revisit it in anticipation of the Xadia iteration. (y)

Could you expand on how that would work?

I really liked the show, i think the storytelling is excellent. And have been very interested in trying out Cortex for a long time. So i'm very excited about this :)

@lewpuls Great article. Really enjoying this series, looking forward to the next entry.

Brilliant article, i really enjoyed it. And i liked how you ended it with the last sentence, very true. Thanks!

There's always two sides to every story, but if i'm honest i would have trouble summarising Orion's grievance in one sentence. Let's say a contractor is working with a company that handles IP, and theu work there as a creative. My limited grasp of IP law is that ideas can't be copyrighted...

This article has the most valuable advice on worldbuilding (for a game) that you'll see most likely. I wish someone had told me that, say 20 years ago, but even if they had (and chances are i did come across it) i would have ignored it thinking that there is value in detail, and that i knew...

You clearly haven't lived! Look it might wreck campaigns. But it's worth it! ;)

I backed the previous project. I appreciated their professionalism, the fulfillment was great too. I'm fairly happy with the final product. Some images don't match my vision, too much on the anime style side. But a lot of them are pretty good, so i'm happy i backed. I didn't back the new one...

Yeah lets not go down that rabbit hole again. If someone committed a crime, people should look at their legal options and use the appropriate channels. I don't understand why someone would email a games company to report wrongdoing? But anyway, like i said, i'd prefer not to go there yet again...

Very happy with the news. Even more so after all the idle, unfair speculation in the previous thread. And even more so, because i have a lot of respect for Mearls as i do for Winninger. A winning team, good job Wizards. Make sure to keep them inspired and happy!

That's a fair point, i appreciate what you're saying.

@Eyes of Nine yeah so i thought i'd post to share my enthusiasm for this innovative marketing approach! Heh, i guess it's convenient to blame it on me being too sensitive. Having said that, i've gone through the 1st ed book in a lot of detail, and i had zero problems with it, quite the...
