But ya tell that to kids these days and they don't believe ya!

I was just thinking that the problem with D&D has always been that it isn't a completely different game altogether, despite all those different editions having the opportunity. Though 4E...

Usurp power in both.

To each their own (and it typically just doesn't matter anyway), but in 3E in particular it's fairly clear that it is the character who feels the call for personal reasons rather than a deity who extends a call for THEIR reasons.

The paladin is a warrior with strong ALIGNMENT-oriented beliefs (and short of using ALTERNATIVE/supplementary rules, which have the obligation to resolve the confusions, contradictions and issues those alternative rules create, that alignment is LG). They are not special enforcers of a...

WISDOM of the king in making rules doesn't prevent the king from making the rules. :)

The king makes the rules. It's good to be the king.

And that's fair enough as far as that goes, but the fact is that play WAS overwhelmingly just gritty survival and murderhoboing. Some modules were exceptions and don't define the RULE of how the game was played, and even explains why those exception modules might have been popular. But many if...

Of course they had minimal impact! That's why you completely changed your tune about doing away with 1.0a. Right? All that no-impact cancellation was insignificant for your long-term plans of leveraging Beyond into your cash machine. ;)

I still want an Xcom ttrpg.

There is no reason a 3D VTT couldn't also handle 2D. Any 3D VTT worth a damn would need to provide a fairly wide set of default maps and models, AND permit importing of more, whether "official" or not. Those who don't want to mess with 3D but still want the advantages of a VTT wouldn't have...

I never personally had any problem understanding how I as a player should handle my character's alignment, nor how as a DM I should use it to keep PC's on the up-and-up and guide the behavior and choices of monsters. What I had a problem with were EVERYONE ELSE'S whacked idea about what it all...

It's imagination and creativity that make D&D better, and IF you have that already then it doesn't need to be forced by random dice rolls with a fixed list of results. If you don't have that already, then I think random dice rolls aren't going to help much.

Oh 5E is not going away by any stretch, but what they accomplished with the OGL fiasco is to take those competitors in the D&D publishing biz who were previously content to just ride the coattails and give MANY of them a purpose and a passion to blow WotC right out of the water with...

All versions of alignment are indeed damned.

Nine for mortal men, doomed to die...

So, that is the FIRST step to rebuilding trust, not the last.

Good - as a whole. Which is to say, specifically, nothing at all but baddest badness for WotC/Hasbro and D&D in particular, better for EVERYONE else as they maximize distance from WotC and the D&D WotC wants to inflict on people.

Not prompted to create it, only to use what I've already made. WotC management cannot and MUST NOT be trusted. Any and all ideas I had about doing anything with 5E I have given up. I will touch no new edition material. I will buy NOTHING they publish under an OGL modified by THEM. I will...

They are liars. They're not even any good at it. They have no shame and still are lying and gaslighting as they try to APPEAR all contrite and sorrowful. They back off dubious claims about what "deauthorizing" the 1.0a OGL, but they still waver not an inch in wanting to bring it to a...
