Is anyone familiar with Old Swords Reign? I wonder if it would hit the OP’s sweet spot for tactical 5e + OSR?

Woohoo! Free to breathe again! Glad you’re doing better. I had Covid again 😓 and let me recommend not flirting with the FLiRT variant. Symptoms weren’t as bad but dang are they lingering. Got over the hump on Wednesday, whew!

You are 100% correct. This has no business in a no nonsense 5e statblock! I OTOH reserve the right to be nonsensical in my mad hacking and system design. Bwahahah.

Are D&D rules baked into it? Or can it be used as a 3d visualizer system neutral?

GM POST You had a short rest in the Arcane Gem Press. Short Rest house rule reminder: Short Rests are 10 minutes of catching your breath. You can spend a number of Hit Dice up to your proficiency bonus (2), and reset death saving throws. Gathering yourselves at Alma's behest, you rely on...

Gotcha, ok I'll do a quick IC post setting you up for a navigation choice and updating map.

Yesssss. We need your skeletons.

@SlyFlourish Mike is prolific, the author of The Lazy GM, and on these very forums! I started following him in 4e years, and he had the sort of “aha” pivot into a slightly rules lighter, prep lighter mindset that many folks at that time did. He’s a great person to follow and support in the...

For ease of implementation in digital play / computer games. 😏

First bullet point. Yep. Second bullet point. Yep. Been doing all along. Third bullet point... I dislike this with the searing criticism of the sun's UV over the North Pole.

GM: "Looks like you've failed your Performance check with your sword." Me: "Aw man, what happens now?" GM: "Indiana Jones shoots you of course." Me: "B-but what would have happened if I succeeded?" GM: "Indiana would have been impressed! ....And then he'd have shot you."

Happy August! I noticed it's been a week since happylace's last post. Do folks need more time to post? Or do you need the GM to help you advance the scene?

That's my take too! Lots of games that I feel are ahead of what D&D is doing. I was undecided before, leaning on the negative side but waiting till I saw more. I'd say I moved from Undecided > Will Not Buy. From what I've seen in the flip-throughs many of the underlying rules changes have made...

Party time!

Hah, Jorphdan's face at 37:16 "What?" when he's reading the Dual Wielder feat reminds me of my reaction to 5e rules language when transitioning from an OSR game. :ROFLMAO:

I mean, if your players keep coming back to your table... does it really matter whether it's for the queso anejo nachos or because of the horrible blackmail you have on them and you kept the rogue player tied in the basement?

The new surprise rule for 2024 D&D is "if you're surprised you have disadvantage to initiative", is that right? Seems like they're basically saying with Battle Ready that "the dragon can't be surprised."

What does the Alertness feat give you in 2024?
