Ok, I'll bite. What would you want to do? How would you approach it? For me, I'd probably try to have a conversation with said part because honestly that's the only answer I can come up with. If you think someone is acting in bad faith (wither conscious or not), talk to them about it. Also, if...

Sometimes people disagree on the internet. I know! Shocking, amiright? Now when this happens it’s very easy, trivial really, to just tell the people you disagree with how wrong they are. I approve of this, encourage it even, however I would like to see some different openings to these...

I don't think size ever factor in to my buying of books but in the last couple of years I've grown fonder of the A5 format over the larger books.

For me, sandbox is a campaign style, totally divorced from system. A sandbox can be played prepped or not prepped. The question then becomes one of energy. Someone who prepps a lot before the game has expended energy before the game and so has an easier time at the table. Improvising then puts...

My knowledge of 5e is admittedly severely limited but isn't non-combat challenges handled through simple skill checks vs. a DC? In what way (I would be thankful for examples) is this detrimental to the kind of game earlier described? I'm sure you felt you explained it in the quotes you gave but...

Let's see if I'm getting this right. The players take actions (or make moves as some systems call them) and the GM comes up with responses to those actions, improvising when necessary and asking for player input when in doubt. A neutral arbiter in the form of a Oracle might be called to spawn...

How would you answer those questions in your system of choice?

I know right? I'm disappointed as well. It's exhausting scrolling past all the 5e guff trying to find something worthwhile.

At this point I have to conclude that you're just trolling so I'll disengage.

It is not though. I’ll put the quote here again to remind myself. What this means is that a good compromise demand that both parties give some ground. This should mean a measure of dissatisfaction but since dissatisfaction isn’t an on/off switch this fine. Also if both parties can see that the...

I would go so far as to agree that creativity has improved significantly since "back in the days" but I would state that that most of todays creativity happens in the indie scene and has little to nothing to do with D&D. D&D is a behemoth, it basically dictates wat ttrpgs are today and in doing...

Thank god this is neither incorrect nor harmful.

“A good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied” ― Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Seventh Season It's a quote and something people tend to say in a jovial manner. Take it easy.

Beautifully written.

Fully agree. They can be really cool pieces of art though.

No inherent difference? Let's check the logs shall we? According to this guy it is different. Wait, that's me. Let's ask someone else. Different eh? You can't trick me internet. One last try. Oh I give up. It's almost like no one has made the claim that there is no inherent difference. In...

Man, whatever happened to Ron Spencer. He was amazing illustrating for Werewolf and Fading Suns. His work on D&D and MtG wasn't to scoff at either.

Please quote where I stated my opinion as fact. Can’t remember doing it.

The thing is that even though I can admit descending AC is more complex than ascending AC it doesn’t change the fact that modern D&D is more complex than say B/X. With subclasses and feats and every other class being a spell caster and four or five different kinds of actions. It’s a lot more to...

It all depends on what you want from your game. For instance… As you yourself say, perhaps you want depth or granularity. I have friend who want rules for combat to have different damage types for bludgeoning, slashing, stabbing and then have armors who act differently against these damages...
