Well, I guess I'm expecting them to be past Alpha stage at this point. I mean, the 50th anniversary was last year. There will most likely never be more interest in 5.5E than back then, so not having the product they are basing the entire edition on until late 2025 or 2026 is ... well, I guess...

It sounds like they are having problems with the automation, which isn't surprising. If the goal of this project is to make this the default style of play for the game, you're going to need them. If you compare this to Foundry, which has very strong automation in D&D (and near 100% automation...

The multiclass system in 4E is something that I think there can be some legitimate discussion on. I didn't see it used very often and I don't think it was really updated (outside of Gestalt characters). I think the "archetypes" from PF2 are a good development from that initial idea.

If you're interested in seeing what 4E could have become, I would check out the Strike! game. With a huge caveat: the production on the game is likely to put a lot of people off. It uses a lot of 4E with AEDU powers, but also uses a D6 to resolve actions, similar to the Blades in the Dark...

Oh sure. It's just that there are thousands of powers and feats to program and there's no way I'd have the time or ability to do that. I would definitely pay for it, but I think that would be a small enough market that it wouldn't be worth it for a developer.

That's true, but people rarely have as strong a negative opinion about 3X as 4E. I played a lot of 3x and, after my last game of it, vowed never to play high-level versions of it again. But there are a ton of people who still play it or Pathfinder 1E, so my Event Horizon level discussion of 3X...

Great Caesar's Ghost! Here we go again with the same old discussions about 4E over ten years after it was finished. I am really glad to still see interest in 4E after all this time, since it was my jam at the time and I'd much prefer it to 5E. I'd love to see the option to play on current VTTs...

While I've considered it, I don't. I use Ripper93's content that's non-commercial. I've looked at the other stuff and, right now, I don't see it. Now I have bought a fair number of modules from companies for both Pathfinder and D&D. I've found that to be worthwhile.

I have a friend who has a basement movie room setup that's out of this world. He did a showing of the movie with our gaming friends who have sort of stepped away from gaming in the last few years. They loved it. When we asked them why they didn't see it already, it was largely related to WotC's...

Demeo is a game that's already out there in both VR and non-VR installs. It would have to have some work applied to integrate it with D&D, but as a game, it's out there and reasonably solid. You can check it out on Steam or GOG, depending on your preferences. Edited to add: hasn't the time for...

I enjoyed the movie and thought it was really solid. The people I know who are gamers but have been curmudgeons about movies and tv shows for the last few years agreed with that. The movie just wasn't as popular as it should have been. I hope we see more along the last movie. I've seen all of...

I was just watching a "first look" video for BREAK!!, a game project I backed that has been very long in development. The game is simply the most beautiful layout of any RPG I've ever seen. It looks amazing. If you're doing layout for a game, you need to look at this book. But then they got to...

It seems to me that they don't have the staff and resources available to do a big adventure path while still doing what they're releasing this year. It may also be a subtle way of acknowledging that recent big adventure books just weren't that great. A lot of this also depends on when the VTT...

Definitely post about this as soon as you hear about a launch. I'll be backing day one.

I don't think there's any question of if he could, it's rather a question of if he would. It would take a lot of work. I remember following the Twitter controversy and his acquisition of the company. It was a ton of work, and that's a complete understatement. There's been no indication that...

Just going to say it again: you have no idea how much joy you've brought by making me remember these games. You are the best!

I think this is an interesting question. If I'm just talking about 5E as a system, there are a lot of things that every edition has. But if we're just talking 5E versus other editions I would say... Bounded accuracy and proficiency bonus. Advantage and disadvantage Concentration Other than...

This is really cool to know. I know the graphics and character voices aren't the best, but I really recommend this game. It really does a great job with the 5E rules, and the home modules are fantastic.

Great stuff, thanks for the summary.

There are some great YouTube channels with content for Foundry modules. I don't want to link directly to anything (I think that was recently discussed as frowned on here...), but the Clay Golem and especially Lunatic Dice have great videos about content to make your PF2 games better.
