Remember when they said there would be a Shadowdark version and it likely boosted sales, still waiting. I mentioned this on the KS page and got a "It's being worked on". Didn't know it takes months to convert. Hope they got enough funds to cover all that work.

Hasbro is going to do what cheapest while still making a buck and frankly I'm surprised anything is done "in house" anymore. I would think it's cheaper to just outsource a new product. I could be wrong though

I love OSE but even with it being able to be used with ascending AC etc it still is like 3 systems holding hands. Roll low for this. Roll high for that. Etc. SD is just easier. It’s probably bare none the easiest D&D-like ive ran.

8 is fine. Whatever. I'd still never intro whole new classes. Just subclasses. Fighter Ranger Cleric Druid Rogue Bard Wizard Sorcerer What about Warlock!??!! Sorcerer Sub.

Honestly, I'd make every new thing a subclass. PHB has the standard Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, Wizard, Bard. Then everything new is a subclass. Paladin: Fighter Subclass. Druid: Cleric subclass. etc etc etc If you just want to start out as a Ranger then start the game at level 3 (which WotC...

Which is alot like AD&D, BX, etc. After you get to level 3 things are far less deadly. Reminds me of that old saying "The character that survives to level 3 is your actual character."

One thing I think that helps SD over D&D is if you want a safer time you can easily do that for SD. Add more HP etc. D&D5 is just so much you have to consider when trying to make things more lethal.

Trim a ton of the fat. Like massive HP and tons of powers. Think Shadowdark but add subclasses and maybe weapon mastery (though in a less annoying form). Just: Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.

Good idea

Which is why I was thinking of sticky dots to add or change the map? IDK

Curious what that looks like. As the treasure would have to be heavily edited and the xp etc. Or just use like b/x level system and toss SDs

I'm debating on adding on the Cloth Map, I'm not sure of it's use though aside from something nice to look at while playing. I wouldnt want anyone drawing on it. I guess sticky dots or something the players can use to mark things? IDK. Whats its use?

What spell in D&D 5E would permanently change one being into another type of being? Not to mention high level spells are usually costly to cast. Or I may be thinking of old editions? While yes, a caster could somehow change their shape, average pleb Joe or Jane might not have that luxury even...

Eds always been a good dude about this stuff. He's always like "Every type of person exists here."

I only fought the first part of the stream but i was hoping she would mention Harrow and Gideon the Ninth. An awesome lesbian necromancer

Necro is neat but yeah seems tied to the just one source. Which Im betting most people have never heard of. Yes her Ranger is more like Aragorn but everyone knows him. The Paly was based on several famous sources like Galahad and Joan of Arc. Honestly the only thing really tying it to her...

Stick your monsters where you want. Make sure they know they are about to face something crazy before engaging and let the dice fall where they may. I always liked that in 1E players could throw food or gold (depends on monster INT) to distract them while they flee. Can’t handle these 8 Orcs...

I think it mainly has to do with trying to be more of a Buddhist philosophy type thing. Again, being more Monk than Ranger. Plus he's having a real issue with his god being okay with killing Orcs and Goblins. The goddess has switched stances on this a couple of times, and as has Drizzt. I'm...

Basically given up on his goddess who's done nothing but bend over backwards for him is my biggest gripe. Plus, he's more monk now than ranger. He's just kind of been written into a corner. He's ultra-powerful. Has a family. And is now trying to be more Zen then adventure seeker. Everyone...

I say this is a long time Drizzt fan. As someone who had read every novel at release for the majority of my life. I am ready for the next generation. I hate what Drizzt has become in the last few novels. I don't even recognize him anymore. Bring on Breezy. Bring on a fresh lead. Let...
