IDK what I’ve noticed is a number of companies went their own way, then made 5E reskins. I’m not sure if it’s that hard to get going or the money skim from a 5E ripoff is too good to pass up?

Here in the Twin Cities public play is pretty rare for RPGs. IT was all over the place before covid with AL and PFS. Though, FLGS here is all magic and wargames. There is one shop that caters soley to RPGs but has private smart rooms so not really public.

It was well supported in 3E/PF1, but the 5E ethos is one of major simplicity and at odds of balancing out in the system. This is another one of those "you get creative and make a ruling on it" areas. I can see just as much reason to expand on it as to leave it as is. Some want it, others dont...

It's weird that folks want to shrink mental stats, yet increase physical ones to me.

Im gonna make some for the convention. I'll hold one for ya.

Recently, Paizo announced doing module subscription in pocket size. So, they are bringing it back, but no they wont be filling any physical shelves with them.

So... remember that local Battletech convention I mentioned? I got another hype video. For context, Solaris VII is a star system that has a number of battle arenas that mechwarriors compete for entertainment. As you can imagine it has a lot of lore implications to the setting. We play once a...

Much harder to say for Out of the Abyss than Adventure League or PFS as im more familiar since those are tracked for completion amongst gamers. I mean, a purchase doesnt mean it got used, where as someone recording playing an AL or PFS game means it did. Im also not convinced the uninitiated...

That seems backwards to me. Store reach is limited compared to the net. I dont think most folks wander into a store looking for adventures anymore.

In a MAD design it does, although 3E was sloppy in this department.

Isnt that adventure league territory now?

The point is there are many more variables at play.

That’s more a result of SAD design, the skill system, and subclasses having to all be simplified per the design ethos to hit the middle. Balancing ability scores is only one part of that puzzle, and frankly the least necessary.

Canadians love it.

Another stiff drink it surely don’t, So I’ll go fix myself a tall one…

A lot of this is going to be in the eye of the beholder. I bounced off PF2 in a way I wouldn't describe as "just push buttons" but I wont say it doesnt describe how I felt playing it either.

War/board games do this often. They have game modes where vets and beginners alike sit side by side and play in whatever games hosted by TOs. I cant imagine it working for an RPG though. Neither would I randomly sit at a table and play something I know nothing about at a convention, id be...

To be fair this isnt unique to RPGs. Sports talk has changed alot in the decades as well. This kind of thing has become prevalent with the rise of social media. Folks are conditioned to positions over interests type discourse so it unfortunately comes out this way in the wash on any subject. I...
