No, I don't think it will. Also, I hope it doesn't, as I dislike most rules-lite games when it comes to long term play (which D&D is definitely aimed at).

This is my experience as well.

Thanks, you too. I've been reading threads about as much as normal, I just haven't seen anything worth commenting on, really. Nothing new, or really interesting, in my mind. So I've been staying out of it and skimming more. I'm hoping things will get interesting again -and I'm sure they will-...

Same here.

There apparently is one for "fun", according to the OP (right around post 67): http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?336796-Percentile-Systems-Just-Say-No!/page7

I wrote this about the subject in the "Running a Game" chapter of my RPG:

I made it for my RPG. It's labeled "Optional: Life Course" in the character creation chapter. You can spend tokens (based on your Driving Force, Challenge, and Mystery) along the way to alter your rolls, or just pick results you like. Spending tokens gets you extra benefits, though, whereas...

Good stuff in this thread! Keep it coming, guys. Thanks! He didn't feature much in the campaign, but the players thought of him fondly, and one learned a lot about religion from him. This is generally how I do it. I have d% charts for personality traits, driving force (what drives you to act)...

Oh, really interesting thread idea! I'm really hoping that people chime in with what they do, so I can Frankenstein the bits I like. I use this setup: (1) Name (Sex Race, Level or Hit Die): Who they are (when they were born and when they died). Some facts about who they are, what they've done...

I really, really disliked this article. He's not eliminating exceptions, he's just changing some of them from one exception to another, and then putting it in an entirely different part of the book. For example, ranged weapons used to provoke an attack when fired in melee, and it's listed with...

This is my first impression, too. I will note, however, that there are a few posters who quote posts manually, rather than with the quote button. (I have no idea why; I've kinda of assumed so that that poster doesn't get a notification, but it could be anything.) When they do this, and the...

On the flip side, though, couldn't a much slower creature catch a much faster creature? If we use 3e/4e rounds (6 seconds) and speeds, it can still come out weird. Let's take a creature with a 25 foot speed (a human in armor, say) and a 50 foot speed (ogre barbarian, or something). It could look...

There's a deep divide between character knowledge and player knowledge, and all the players (and myself, as GM) pipe in if we feel like metagaming is an issue (though this is rare).

Except they've explicitly said they want to make feats more valuable (about triple the worth, maybe?) with 5e. Personally, I'm hoping a feat is more than "you get +3 to a skill", and more like "you get +X, and you can do this as well." I think they might stray away from that, though, since they...

If you're serious, I think you're exceptionally wrong. And either way, they're not offering one, so my statement stands. I don't think they would make those feats. They might make a feat that makes you stealthy, and there might be a race that gives a benefit to stealth. What they're saying is...

If a feat is only granting skills, then absolutely. Not to me. If feats don't grant skills, then okay. Backgrounds are now better at giving skills. But when background and feats hit the same territory, I'd prefer feats be better. I have absolutely no idea why they'd offer a "be an elf" feat...

I know. That's the source of my "sadness" at feats being on the bottom. I don't mind class being on top. I just wish feats were worth more than background and race. Just my preference.

As long as they don't get "class" confused with "spells", then I don't mind this too much. For example, "you need to be a Wizard to cast Invisibility, so the spell must be good!" would be bad. (I use Invisibility specifically because I know this isn't the case based on this article.) I wish...

On a related note, I worked as a pizza delivery driver years ago, and my expectations varied. If I averaged $2 per place I was pretty happy, but roughly half the people I delivered to paid me less than a dollar. (If I owed them $2.45 back, they'd take the $2, but tell me to keep the 45 cents. So...

Thanks for caring what your viewers think, and catering to what we like. Some of us really appreciate it, because it's a rare thing.
