Get well soon, Darryl.

Monster Hunting Angel/Buffy Monster of the Week Slasher Slasher Flick Blood & Blades (d20 Modern): it contains several movie slashers with the serial numbers filed off Zombie Apocalypse War of the Dead/World of the Dead for Savage Worlds All Flesh Must Be Eaten Honorable Mentions The Dead...

Do you prefer the original pre-crisis DC Universe or post-Crisis DC before the Death of Superman? 1e is primarily pre-crisis although some of the supplements were starting to introduce post-crisis DC (e.g. Strangers in Paradise, the Wonder Woman sourcebook/adventure supplement). Edit: 2e goes...

West End Game's version it the weakest of the three. It had the potential to be a good system, but was ruined by terrible rules for lifting and movement, overly complex improvised magic rules, the structure of the various manipulation powers, and too many skills. Several of the supplements...

For myself, this only works if everyone is from the same culture and area. Once you have characters whose class, subclass only make sense if from different cultures and don't have (edit: the basics) for those culture worked out, everything falls apart for me.

@Yaarel and @Scribe An honest question about whether we get cultures: Do we get information on any of the following components (not a full list) for each culture ? 1. Subsistence Patterns (e.g., Hunter and Gatherer, pastoralists, etc.) 2. Political Organization (e.g., band, chiefdom, feudal)...

I do like the Savant class and the Warlord.

Mage Hand Press is my favorite of the three. I do like Kibblestasty's Psion, but I prefer some other third party Witch and Shaman classes to his Occultist (including Mage Hand Press's Witch). As for Laserllama, I want to like Laserllama's stuff. I respect his (?) design work, but most...

The Complete Fighter, Thief, etc. might have officially introduced builds. However, there were already 1e (or was it B/X?) third party products (e.g. the Compleat Adventurer and Compleat Spellcaster) that introduced new classes along with NPC classes in Dragon Magazine that allowed players to...

lol. possibly. However, Level Up, Tales of the Valiant, and DC20 might have a few things worth stealing, but most of the stuff including the classes I have seen do not work for me. Neither do many other changes and additions (even ideas that I like, I often do not like the implementation)...

They pretty much are to me. If and when I run 5e, I might bring a few minor things here and there from 2024 like I do from other editions, but, for the most part, the 2024 PHB will be banned.

I like a more B/X, 1e or early 2e (with elements of the Complete Fighter's, Complete Thief's and Complete Priest's Handbooks) feel. However, I would not want to go back to the actual mechanics of those editions. Some house ruling of the 3e core rules while ignoring most of the WOTC supplemental...

As someone not a fan of Pathfinder 2e, there is no assurance that switching to PF 2e will be greeted favorably. It might, but it might not.

What about slowing leveling? Double XP required to reach levels 5-9, Quadruple the amount for levels 10-14, etc.

The above sounds like a campaign specific thing. A deity would not need to be omnipotent to monitor their clerics just omniscient or omnipresent. Or maybe, spellcasting priests are very rare in a given campaign and the deity only gives spellcasting to a special few "champions" whom embody the...

Yes, performing rituals, correctly, are often important as is sometimes flattery, cajoling. Yet, there are examples in some polytheistic cultures of deities punishing their priest/priestess by transforming him or her into monsters and/or not answering their prayers. Sometimes, the punishment...

It leads to a negative experience some players and not for others. Not having "losing powers" as an option is the same which is why it should be a supported option in the DMG.

If you are going to use Silver Surfer turning his back on Galactus and keeping his power as an example of an entity not stripping a character to whom he/she/it previously granted power after that character turned their back on the entity, the ability of Galactus to strip the Surfer of said power...

A few points regarding the Silver Surfer and Galactus 1. We know Galactus can strip a Herald of their powers. He normally does not, because he has soft spot for his Heralds. However, he stripped Morg of the Power Cosmic after Morg killed Frankie Raye, the herald known as Nova (as opposed to...

can we start with the WOTC designers themselves? :D
