Yeah can't stand Reynold's dungeon punk thing. Which is too bad, back in the day he drew a 40K comic that was pretty cool. Unrelated 5E art thing I can't stand. Nobody is ever looking at each other. Seriously. Go look at Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and explain those sight lines to me.

But the new Chinese AI just made all the other AI companies lose a ton of value and now they're saying a bunch of venture capital firms might be in trouble. WHO ARE WE TO ROOT FOR

I think the 4E art direction was all pouches and no soul. I will expect your formal invitation to a duel at sundown promptly. I am laundering my finest cravat in anticipation.

What classes would be left? In 5E pretty much every class uses magic. There's only a few subclasses that don't at all. Plus, like, the idea of a modern D&D party (An Aasimar, 2 Tabaxi, gem Dragonborn and Larry's Tortle/Sonic OC) is absolutely hilarious in a "horror" game. That's not a critique...

And a particular fantasy adventure game, that is magic heavy power fantasy. Like, good luck trying to make a low magic setting work with like, 90% + of the classes as they are constructed. OG Ravenloft understood this. It's not scary when the game is literally about killing monsters and taking...

Genuine question: What was changed because of playtest feedback? I wasn't following it super closely but it seemed to me the consensus was that the playtest was pretty much pointless because nothjng changed?

Well, from the perspective of every MBA at Hasbro who ruins everything for a living, all designs are improved by this.

I choose to use my daily power: Being fun at parties.

We get it, you're bitter. That much is evident. Though, was this a + thread about 4E? Did I miss something? Pretty sure the original post was about an article discussing the development, release and reception of 4E and spun out from there. This isn't a thread about a 4E homebrew or whatever...

How about we split the difference and call it Steve? How about we grab a Costco size bag of pizza rolls and play Steve all weekend, like the old days, guys?

How have we been having discussions about 5E2024 without coming up with a better name we all agree on? I respectfully submit Fifther Edition and 5 Fast 5 Furious.

I mean, that's not really a PF1 product though, is it? But yes, I do remember when Starfinder was being previewed at Origins and they were really pushing the idea that it wasn't just Pathfinder in space. So I'm assuming they did all that intentionally.

I mean, sure, I didn't even mention third party OGL material (which isn't going to stop either) being another factor. But, what 300 page hardcover would you like to have seen out of Paizo before they moved on?

I mean, that might very well be how they're looking at it. Though, common sense would dictate that ideally, you would try to do both. Appeal to new people and your existing customer base, growth can't be infinite after all. As for the dedicated established player who buys everything not being a...

Plus, like, look at everything that was published under PF1. There is no conceivable vein not thoroughly mined by the time PF2 came around. Their release schedule was definitely not as sparse as 5E's is. That's even more true if you combine it with the existing 3E content that predated PF1...

This is kind of where I'm seeing things too. 5.5 simultaneously changed too little to remedy edition fatigue after 10 years and changed too much for alot of people on the other end.

Lots of 3e derived games did this long ago and it was just fine. True20, Mutants & Masterminds etc.

I mean, the Section 31 stuff in DS9 is interesting and poses good questions about the nature of the Federation, and what it is you would be willing to sacrifice to maintain it etc. Yet, Kurtzman seems to be in love with the idea of cool-antihero Section 31 as they're all over his trek shows and...

Planning on watching it this weekend, but I assume they don't do anything to redeem her character? Like, of all the Star Trek movies to make they make one about a mass murdering, sentient being eating, malevolent dictator who is working for the most morally grey entity possible with the...

What do you mean? You can go up to another ship with your ship and hit people with swords. What else would you possibly do?
