I've entered a ticket and revoked my Beyond master tier subscription (not just because of this, mind you, it was a long time coming). Im still not canceling my amazon preorder of the PHB; im in a wait and see mode to see if WotC is worth another edition-worth of investment. But I'm not mad.

I hoped they would a least take inspiration from the 4e Deva with the whole memories of a thousand lived thing, instead of another "fly and glow" kin...

I've been researching a lot of maps recently because, while watching longplays of Crusader Kings and Total War, I've finally put a finger on something that's bee bothering me with the FRs: the lack of small, ever-changing kingdoms, duchy, clan hold at wars. It's just mega city-states in the...

Yep, that must be it. It plays well; I personally dont care that much about dungeon crawl, so in the end I household 5e to my preferences, buy its worth a good read.

Backgrounds should have been the place where your PC gains bonus for the other 2 pillars of play, if they were less...handwaived? bonus to reaction rolls survival tasks bonus loyalty discount on X Bastion upgrades. bonus piety/renown weather/climate resistances Etc

I think Into the Borderland by O5R games is moslty what you're looking for: 5e mechanics, procedural dungeon crawl system, only 4 classes with the other classes being subclasses. I cant remember if they use race-as-class though... Anyways, its a best seller on Drivethru so yes, I think there is...

In what sense? Making a fantasy world with Canadian tropes or, using Canada but saying elves lives in BC and halflings in Quebec?

Still waiting for Cublicle 7 to see if they'll release something (sadly, I bet they wont). ToV felt a little flat to my taste and FateForge has way too much setting element built-in. Dragonbane is splendid, as are most of Free League books.

It's hard to believe this kind of anti-union action is legal in our times.

Not crediting them is already bad, actively striking their name from the records is pure hostility: someone at WotC had an agenda.

Because I'm a big fan of Chronos Cross, I cast my vote for an evil, decadent, empire of dinomen!

It takes some kind of profound disregard for the work of another and your own public image to put some money on working hours for a guy to go over a bunch of digital book and actively remove some credits in a small unintrusive corner of a book. Cmon, what is gained from doing that?

Mostly the same. It just adds a little variety.

Use the variant abilities from the DMG! Warlocks cast with Sanity Paladins cast with Honor Sorcerers cast with Constitution Clerics cast with their Piety rank, no abilities.

Meh, I'd forgo elves and dwarves in favor of more antediluvian races like minotaur and lizarfolk, and "touched" human heritage like yuan-ti and hexborn.

I love how the 2024 Exhaustion rules works in combination with VRGtR Stress! I think I'll use both on my games. A PC dropping to 0hp is 1 exhaustion level and a DC 15 Wis save for the rest of the group to avoid 1 level of Stress.

Can someone give me a brief resume of the features for the new Goliath? It's not just the "get big for 10 minutes", right?

To be honest I picked from both eras to get the 10 species for the joke. Though, I'd play in a game where all races were monstrous in a post-human world.

Because it's a given, duh! Just like rock n roll forces people to have premarital sex and Dungeon and Dragon makes people the vessel for Satan. Its not reactive fear mongering from the usual suspect, it's statistical science! VTTs cause the atrophy of the brain.

Does something like Horizon Zero Dawn, but fantasy would work? Like the world died once, humans are back but the world now belongs to Giants and Dragons. Oral tradition, small settlements, mostly hunting, no technology unless you find iron or steel weapons in a taboo ruins from the old world...
