If you're looking at an all-rounder class, you could look to 3e's Factotum for inspiration. They were dabblers in everything.

The collection-of-adventure books are different, I'd say, from the single long campaign adventures. I listed CoS and ToA, which had a load of magic items. GoS is largely adaptations of old adventures, which I guess were some of the miserly ones? GoS is quite sparse with magic though, I'll agree...

Ha I think my problem in communication is that I consider 3e and afterwards "modern" DnD- it's post-TSR DnD, modern ability score definitions n rules (10=0, 12=+1, etc). But I think you might underestimate the magic items provided in 5e adventures. As far as 5e adventures go, let's look at...

It's a strange thing, and when this gets discussed I often find myself saying things like "back in my day, things were better! We were more creative, we had less rules, blahblahblah!" But I scarcely remember my 2e days, when I started TTRPGs. I played heavily in the 3.Xe era, where rules reigned...

It really depends on how much you want to derail the campaign for a vendetta. But making the thieves "unreachable" because they're too powerful seems like it could get antagonistic quickly. As far as players' belief that their characters are the most powerful... well, that really depends on the...

Yeah, to be clear it's been a thing since Ye Olden Dayes. I ran Night Below for 5e, and wow! But modern adventures are also filled with magic items... and Red Hand of Doom? I loved that adventure, it's one of the best, buuut wow yeah the magic items are overflowing. On the other hand... I get...

Good ways, IMO, to control magic items in your party: Trade them away for something else. A favor, other magic items, power, whatever. I've had players trade permanent magic items for consumables because they didn't think the things they had were worthwhile, and they had a big fight coming up...

In my experience, in any TTRPG where the party has been stolen from, they have dropped nearly everything to go reclaim their stolen property and vengefully punish those that stole from them. Like, really really vengefully punish. That merchant might just try to pick up the pieces after being...

If it makes y'all feel any better, it's not being completely overlooked on the GG Discord. Some folk are throwing a fit on there.

I'm probably misinterpreting this. It sounds like you're saying you don't care about what the source of a product is doing, as long as it produces the product. "I don't care if the funny man spews hateful stuff in their off time, as long as they're the funny man on stage I'll still buy...

I am now prepared to be very disappointed. I guess I'm really now a bit into said disappointment. I picked up A LOT of Goodman Games stuff over the years. The silver lining is that I'd always tout DCC as "my ideal TTRPG to run that I can't 'cuz I run too much 5e," so... I guess I don't have to...

Scrapfaggot Green's a location. Witches. The Witch Stone of Great Leighs

Is the question here an old school "Night Below"-style box set, or a start set?

What's the problem with this one? edit: Ah, a quick search provided me with Poltergeist, Witchcraft or Hoax: The Witch of Scrapfaggot Green – #FolkloreThursday Ugh. We saw from The Elusive Shift that there were some enlightened mentalities around TTRPGs in the early days... and then there were...

Balls.

Yeah. Definitely waiting to see what word comes from Goodman, though.

Star Wars Saga Edition was my longest experience with a Star Wars TTRPG. I think I played a little bit of the WEG version, and some Edge of the Empire, but Saga happened to be what I sunk my teeth into.

I definitely think this idea came up in a different thread, someone was redoing species traits maybe? It's an interesting idea.

The bolded bothers me.. I guess it's just part of the "there's no real risk involved in this fight" mentality. Not your fault, it's nothing new... I think it's why I like higher damage. That's one thing Mearls mentioned about increasing damage/lowering HP.. it definitely made his players more...

I like the heavier hits a lot more ... 20-something damage from an ancient dragon hit seems so minor, even if there are many of them... that thing should hit like a truck, not death-by-a-thousand-cuts. PCs at that level have, what, ~150hp? But I guess that could be a simulationist mentality...
