Tricky, because my three favorite are Sausage, Pepperoni and Black Olive, but I wouldn't want sausage AND pepperoni on the same pizza. I'd want [Sausage|Pepperoni], black olives, green pepper, ideally. I would need to vote strategically based on what I know the group likes to ensure things...

I don't buy into that "if we call it D&D, then it is" sentiment. There are fundamental rules that make a game what it is, and if you're disgregarding them, you're playing something else. If I tell you we're playing D&D at my place, and you show up, and we're just doing improv, isn't that kind...

It doesn't. It contradicts the part where you say "If the group tells the DM no, the group wins." " The DM’s “authority” ends the moment it goes against the will of the group." The will of the group INCLUDES the desire to be told "no" where it's appropriate. Edit: Dyslexia may have impacted...

The group gives the DM permission to occasionally tell them “no”. I don’t know how you can call it D&D, otherwise.

Short bows have a 320 foot range. No, your passive perception isn’t a spidey sense for every single thing that moves in a 320 foot radius.

Fair enough. But they could use Pact of the Blade to represent that, and I don’t see how that support has any impact on the Pact Magic change that’s really bothering me. It seems like they’re unsure of which class feature best represents the warlock’s subclass. They want the subclass decision...

My comment on the YT video was that if they wanted to solve for Warlocks hoarding their slots and never using them, the best fix is to make recharging the slots something beyond their control, so if they recharge event happens and they are capped on that resource, the recharge is wasted. You’re...

My head hurts. At 45:21, he states as fact that people play Warlocks as melee characters, akin to Paladins and Rangers? What game does this dude work on again? Is he confusing 5e D&D with WoW Classic: Wrath of the Lich King? Edit: I was Team-WotC all through the OGL debacle, but this Warlock...

If you don't like Warlocks, just ask the DM to disallow them (or do it yourself if it's your campaign).

Can't quantify how dissapointed I'll be if they follow through with removing Pact Magic and making the Warlock play more like an arcane half-caster. It sounds like they're going to destroy the Warlock as we know it, and use the name to describe a Hexblade.

For RPGs, yes. The problem is these settings are also a part of the Magic the Gathering multiverse, where catastrophic metaplot changes are still to be expected.

You're overlooking a Human's extra Fate points. The allure of WFRP is watching your Rat Catcher or Camp Follower rise to the occasion and become a hardened hero, or die trying. If it was commonly wearing out its welcome after a few sessions, I don't think WFRP would have survived 36+ years...

I’m not sure I can relate to that experience. You don’t really get any characteristic bonuses just for being a slayer, and the slayer doesn’t start with much equipment—an axe. Unless you’re referring to 3rd edition. I can’t really speak to that edition.

If you took random race and profession, you started with 70 XP. You can buy a lot of advances with that. 2 characteristics and 2 skills, or 7 skills, or 1 characteristic and 4 skills and some change left over.

Look at published Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay adventures, though. A Slayer can solo a dragon, but fighting anything at all isn’t a thing you’re expected to do very often in that game.

Warhammer dragons are not as powerful as what you'd expect of a D&D dragon. They typically serve as mounts for their more powerful riders, so a Slayer, whose job in life is to kill big nasty creatures, soloing one is perfectly in line with Warhammer lore.

They decided to stop publishing new RPG products. That's not the same as deciding not to sell works that have already been published.

I originally took the change of system to be a really bad sign, but after-the-fact, I learned Cortex Prime's commercial licensing isn't great, so I don't blame them for migrating off of it.

Board game industry has suffered last few years over component costs. The IP, the rules, is the most profitable part. D&D is basically a board game that's 100% IP.

It says which licenses you CAN use in that case. It doesn’t say you must release under a CC license. For CC-BY, all you need to do is include the attribution. The work is yours. People who want the free part can find it because the attribution itself tells them where to look for it.
