Glad to help. Foundry on PF2 is almost unreal in how much it can do for you. I've never seen anything like some of the options they have for it.

There are a couple of modules, that have options for these rules. I would have to look at my instance for which one it is ... I believe it's the Toolbelt. This module has checkboxes for all of the variant rules in the GM's Guide. The short version is: yes. All of the optional rules from the core...

Sometimes you have someone who really loves a car you're just "meh" about. There's ultimately nothing you can do about it to convince them that it's not the car for you. That's been my experience about a great many things.

I would love to see Sebastien de Castell's Greatcoats world as an RPG. It starts off as a Three Musketeers inspired world and ends as a story of saints and gods. Such a great series of books, but very dark at places.

That's a really good question. I think people who are extremely active in the larger gaming community can give the best answer. So I'd listen to SlyFlourish about what's going on in the hobby over SteveC. And that's the thing at the end of the day: we're all just giving opinions based on our...

I guess I thought it was really pretty simple: I'm making the claim that D&D interest is starting to ebb with the 50th Anniversary being done. You're talking about the Time Magazine article ... which I pointed out came out in September. And the New York Times article that was a piece that had...

Man, it is just my day to be a Debbie Downer<tm>. I have a copy of the Time Magazine issue, and it's getting framed for my wall, but that was back in September (I just had to search because I thought it was a while back...). The New York Times article is something we've been discussing here...

Oh, to be sure! I remember back to the early 5E days when it was truly thought of as a "keeping the lights on" edition. 5.5E definitely sold a lot of PHBs at launch. And as you say, we won't really know for the next couple of years. I think the big thing that could very likely prove me very...

It's interesting to dip into this discussion. I guess I do have a dog in the hunt to discuss the MM, as I also have the A5E Monster Book (I support people in the industry a ton). I find it easy to use and reference but I haven't run a game with it yet, so my experience is at a level of "Oh, this...

I love 13th Age. I was fortunate enough to play games with both Jonathan and Rob when they came out to Gamehole Con in years back, and this is a fantastic game. I'm just thinking it may take it a while to actually deliver version 2.0, and the VTT options aren't the best. In-person, I'd say that...

Oh my. I hope that I'm not coming off as dismissive in any way. When I ask for advice or options, I'm really looking for them. Everyone has been helpful (as they usually are!) so I really appreciate the time and effort all of you are putting in to help me and my group out. A couple people have...

Fabula Ultima is on my short list. I'm just a little concerned because it has some narrative mechanics that this group may not be into 100%. Fantasy Age is something to consider too. I picked it up last year and thought, "This is okay." Nothing exciting, unfortunately.

Yes, this is one of the recent Kickstarters I've backed. Once they committed to a VTT option, I was in. I think this will be a very strong choice.

Instead of handling these situations by making new friends, we'll just kill everything! Sounds very old-school to me.

On the issue of TSR and how it affected me, it did as time went on. I absolutely loved the things that Judges Guild put out and I think it still holds up today. Mayfair's Role Aids were similar to me. TSR eventually had problems with them and lawyers got involved. For me, this was one example of...

It's funny that you say that. I have played Daggerheart and ruled it out, but that was for an entirely different group of players. I'll definitely consider it.

I find myself in the need for a new RPG for players that hits the same general beats as D&D or Pathfinder but ... isn't them. The ideas I have so far are: Shadow of the Weird Wizard, Worlds Without Number, 13th Age 2E, or Mythcraft. We're going to be playing via VTT, so I'll need support for...

There's definitely an opportunity for smaller publishers to take advantage of WotC's missteps, but I think the window for a 5.5E alternative is largely closed. We're going to see Dagger Heart, Draw Steel, 13th Age 2E, and I'm sure others, but the marketing for 5.5E is pretty much wrapped up at...

I do one big thing that I don't even think is fudging, but I'm sure some people do. I don't roll the dice for a long of things that characters are skilled in, I just let it happen. If a character has the appropriate skill, I just let them do the thing that relates to that skill. If they have...
