I'm planning to start a campaign soon and want to propose using the initiative is a skill check that depends on what the characters are doing at the time
I think it goes a bit beyond just being able to ask for hints about which terrain to use.
First, while suggesting DMs be open and flexible is good, it still relies on the DMs' cooperation. And if we're talking about revising class features I think it's valid to point to this as something that...
Note the phrasing is different, though it obviously has the same intention. The smites are phrased as "when you hit ... you can spend a slot to deal damage". The artificer is phrased as "you summon the turret by expending spell slots". Seramus' point is if someone was being really pendantic they...

Shadowrun Anarchy might be worth checking out, it uses the Shadowrun setting with a different more narrative focused ruleset.
Also Gumshoe might work as a system, though you'd need to adapt some of the existing settings to get what you want
This is pretty much where I'm at, though I wouldn't quite go far enough to say excited. Don't know enough about MTG or Ravnica to have had an opinion when it was first announced, but what I've seen makes me intrigued enough that I'll probably be looking closely at previews as it comes closer...
I played a dwarf mountain druid in a Storm King's Thunder campaign, got to level 12 and had fun with him. Like others have said, flexibility seemed to the big advantage. We had a bard acting as the main healer, so I was mainly going for control type spells and acting as a backup healer. The...
I managed to run my group all the way through Zeitgeist (though with an accelerated epic tier that was basically just the most significant combats and narrating the rest due to needing to wrap things up before a move). I'd definitely recommend it to others. It has a strong plot with NPCs that...
I wouldn't have quite thought of it in these terms, but as close as some other suggestions would be the Fianna from Irish folklore and the 12 peers of Charlemagne (which was also the origin of Paladins)
13th age uses a similar idea you described, where every true magic item (as opposed to consumable items like potions) has a quirk associated with it https://www.13thagesrd.com/magic-items/#Magic_Item_Personalities_Quirks
It was not an abstract discussion, but a report of an actual event including a picture of the person who did the groping to help identify who the person was. Also questioning if something was sexual assault or groping is the wrong question since groping would be a form of sexual assault.
https://twitter.com/Sphynxian/status/920755260330823681 This is a screen shot of Frank's follow up post, where he describes his view of the thread that Jessica described, but deleted. He still characterizes a woman who froze after being groped "believed wrongly that she was utterly helpless" and...
Probably little response since people were busy talking about it in this thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?572051-WotC-s-Mearls-Presents-A-New-XP-System-For-5E-In-August-s-Unearthed-Arcana
Iserith beat me to the quote I vaguely remembered, so I'll have to settle for posting a link to the source, which was a comment in a longer post about his thoughts in general about unusual races in Eberron
The most significant part of the Devas' previous lifetimes is creating a connection to a character that has been alive for 500 years due to divine energy. It probably wouldn't hurt if you just wanting to have an Aasimar and say they've effectively become immortal. There is one major NPC Deva...
Ultimate NPCs:skullduggery is a nice collection of NPCs with each being presented at different levels. Now available from the publisher but kickstarter page has some more details

astiboga when we do ranger stuff, will work for both. Subclass nodes match up for both versions. #wotcstaff
