Both criticism and praise is welcome when trying to understand how a game runs

I really like the idea of a flatter power curve for sure, but I do kind of like the niche protection of classes in DnD. I guess the class edges in Savage Pathfinder may help a bit with the niche protection if I use that supplement

One of the things I really like about 5e is how the system helps in telling long form stories together. I think this is because of the leveling system, and probably also because of the relative safety of the characters. This makes it so that the players can spend a long time with their...

This is exactly the kind of information that I'm looking for. Thanks a lot for such a thorough answer. I am sure I will have a lot of questions for you if you don't mind answering. The flatter power curve is definitely a big plus in my book. I like competent heroes, but I don't want to deal...

Hi I am a sometimes poster and usual lurker on these forums. And I want some help understanding how Savage Worlds feel to play compared to 5e. I am a somewhat new TTRPG'er who have DMed one full campaign of official DnD 5e (level 1-14), and am DMing my second campaign in Star Wars 5e now (level...

Any ETA for Voidrunner? I'm really looking forward to that one

I really like it. He has a lot of good ideas. I especially like the 4 action economy and that it recharges at the end of a player's turn. You can use your 4 actions on alot of different stuff. Like making your spells or attacks more powerful, longer reach, give yourself advantage, etc etc. You...

I like this idea. And in the end this may very well be what I will do :)

To be honest the map is just a pacing mechanism I will use to have some control of where my players will go. When they have a ship and the universe in front of them it's good to have a way to point them in the right direction. So my plan is that they will have to go to different planets of my...

Hi, I am currently running a Star Wars campaign set in the Old Republic era (SWTOR) and would love some help with a plot point. The set-up so far is that they have stolen a map from a Sith Lord that will take them to some ancient and powerful secret. They will need to travel to different...

I'm actually a bit sad Pathfinder is moving away from DnD. I really liked the shared language and I think it will be more difficult to get into Pathfinder the further they move away from DnD. I understand why they do it but I'm still a bit sad about it.

Thanks guys. I have put some new books on my wishlist already 😃 Especially the Monstrous Arcana books seems interesting. I really like deep dives into monster societies, how they function and how they live. I also love fantasy societies that are fantastical and weird

I have heard mentions about Nentir Vale before. What is it's strengths? What makes it exciting?

Any book recommendations?

I have been wondering a bit lately about what edition people think have the best and most exciting lore books. Monster lore, setting lore, even adventure lore. What edition do you think have the best lore and why? Which books are your favorites?

I'm really looking forward to Voidrunner’s Codex

Games I want to run but haven't yet. From the one I want to run the most and down. (This list changes all the time) 1. Dungeon Crawl Classic (DCC) 2. Savage Worlds 3. Mythras/Runequest 6e 4. Superhero 5e (S5E) 5. Level Up (A5E) 6. Cyberpunk 2020/Red 7. Vampire the masquerade (probably V5) 8...

Any update on the Voidrunner's Codex Kickstarter? Will it be affected by the OGL mess? I hope not because I am/was really looking forward to a hard Sci Fi A5E

I voted yes. But what I mean by that is that I won't buy anymore products from WotC. At least until they fix this mess. But that does not mean that I will stop playing DnD. I will still play my already owned books, 3rd party books and DnD clones. I will also broaden my horizon with other non...

I had actually cancelled my dndbeyond subscription earlier this month already, because of the monetization remarks. I have already been down that path with video games, and I'm not interested in micro transactions and loot boxes in my DnD. Suffice it to say that their OGL plans put another nail...
