Thinks it? Or laying the groundwork for an edition change? 4e became Essentials after PHB came out with psionics. PF1 became PF2 after we got occult adventures and psychics. We are getting Eberron this year. Dark Sun next year and then 6th edition? I can’t see them having the energy for a new...

I think this is pretty spot on.

Then your not looking very hard. Both the Paizo forums and reddit have people (who aren't me) making the comparison. I did try to warn Paizo during the playtest that it looked too similar to 4e. I was shouted down in the playtest forums by those invested enough to playtest. Now that the game is...

Its even simpler then that: Its some of the same people who worked on 4e that they got to work on PF2e. Logan has openly admitted they've reused ideas from 4e. But dont worry. They've reassured us that they only took the good ideas. 4e definitely had some good ideas. It just seems to be of...

Thanks Morrus. Hard part was trying to work out how the spell would work. In D&D this spell has a range of 400+ ft, is that really necessary? How much damage should it do given damage tends to be much less in standard WOIN? Then I had to work out the mechanics: Could it do multiple arrows...

Here's an example spell if anyone can spot anything wrong with it. The only thing I don't know how to calculate how many ranks the magic skill should have. Does anyone know how to work that out? Acid Arrow Create acid
 Cost 7 MP; skills evocation 0
 Casting time two actions

Yes. If bluff is opposed by insight then itshouldn't be a racial skill. However the N.E.W. Core rule so on page 10 has bluffing a guard as CHA (bluffing) v INT (bluffing) is this a case of rules vs rulings? Or is that table intended to be adhered to (for those e apples) unless overruled by a GM...

WOIN pretty much seems like a perfect fit to Dark Sun to me with it being a mix and match ruleset :)

That's annoying. I did a second version of the Half-Giant at work a week ago and it looks to have not saved. Here it is again: Half-Giant Size: Large Attributes: +3 Strength, +1 Endurance, +1 Psionics Skills: unarmed fighting, heavy weapons, melee weapon, light armor, medium armor, heavy...

So what universes are people building? Here's what I've got. Big Picture: Chartered Space probably encompasses around 750 light years of space. The "home nation" that players are expected to belong to encompasses only a third of that with not much being known about the other two thirds of...

Are you letting players take variable amounts of downtime? I'd expect a DM to say "7 years pass" and then players roll to see how many grades they get through in that 7 year period. There's still luck, just less impact the lifespan of characters have.

For 8 years I've been looking for a rule set that would allow me to play a game in the Dark Sun world I envision after reading the books. Unfortunately D&D and it's derivatives have left me unhappy for various reasons (with 4e coming the closest to working for me). I think WOIN could actually...

Nice. So it sounds like having that "ultra long lived character" whose been around for a few generations of other characters will still be able to continue playing and not outshine the rotation of generational humans who come and go.

In certain editions of D&D having characters of different levels (career paths in WOIN) is highly inadvisable. How well does WOIN handle it? Given the flatter progression it seems like it should be less of an issue. What's the biggest gap you've had?

Interesting. The N.E.W. Rules only go up to an attribute of 54 (9d6) while the benchmarks still go up to Mythical. Is there any specific reason for that? Are the enemies more likely to have higher values in O.L.D then they do in new?

If the devious author tried to sell the content outside of a WotC approved venue, WotC would be able to send a cease and desist letter. If the author continued to sell it WotC could threaten to take them to court. If the devious author continued to sell the content WotC would have to decide if...

I remember some pretty wacky stuff in WotC's own supplements, and for 4th Ed no less (Tempest fighter anyone?) so I think singling out 3rd parties is a bit unfair. The tabletop industry doesn't have a good record of balanced material regardless of the company.

I've "bought" over a dozen titles, but given most don't have previews these have been the equivalent of flipping out through a bookstore. I've purchased maybe 3 titles with the Intent of reading them. I've subscribed to en5ider, but that was equal parts research and enjoyment. As a DM buying...

And nothing in that book contradicted the official timeline, nor does anything in his candlekeep posts (in fact he overtly produces material for the current Realms on candlekeep). When Ed sold the Realms he had a clause in the contract that is likely meaningless to 99% of the fan base, but means...

I would not take it for granted that all of those images are in the public domain.
