The majority of the system is based on giving the caster a few simple base effects and then further options modify those. It's kind of like how Warlocks get eldritch blast and then can take invocations that modify the blast. I find dealing with that much, much easier than having a bunch of...

How much info do you want to have to read through? Because it'd be easy to make a psion using Spheres of Power: Incanter with the Esper subclass and focus on talents from Mind and Telekinesis. There's also Green Ronin's Blue Rose for 5e, but that'd be buying a whole book just for the tweaks...

Want!

Though you can wait and hope that Shadow of the Weird Wizard comes out soon.

Research is hard. Just knowing how to research is hard. I'm not saying that to excuse not doing the right thing. But I can see how if you both don't want to cause offense and don't want to work yourself too hard one might choose sticking to the cultures you don't have to worry about.

:eek: Ouch. I thought most of these were going to be things I couldn't catch on my own, but......ouch.

They do? I did not know this.

Especially if it's a good way to learn what not to do.

I am in complete support of this thread and all critical examinings of things from the past!

Why do people continue to tell me this like I don't know it?

I mean it's possible this would lead to them making something I still don't like. But I'd rather try then have to pass by another "the standard D&D line-up do stuff" setting.

They released a version of GURPS 4th edition specifically for doing dungeon-crawl-type fantasy: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/dungeon-fantasy-roleplaying-game Plus there's always Discworld and Girl Genius.

GURPS. Champions. Though they may both be too much for your tastes.

Anthros, talking animals, robots, weird aliens, etc. Every setting has humans, and most fantasy settings have some kind of "these could totally be played by humans in makeup and prosthesis" — often elves and dwarves — so even if you try to do something with lots of re-imagining like Dark Sun it...

Fewer funny-looking humans. In fact: fewer humans in general.

Are those videos flickering for anyone else? Because they're flickering for me, and it makes me feel not-so-good. How long's this one?

By incorporating as many different setting ideas/premises as possible. The "anything goes" setting was why I actually bought the book: I don't play D&D 5e (excepting the possibility a GM I know runs a game in this setting).

Tales of Arcana. 200 gonzo 5E races with a setting that incorporates all of them and more.

Art can be important: I bought one game solely for its art. But for that kind of response it has to be really special art. A lot of times I'd be fine with having simple black-and-white line art: I do need to know how creatures and objects look directly because I find text descriptions too...
