AaronOfBarbaria "CR isn't a crutch, and it doesn't stop working when used as intended - and since teaching a DM how to "be good" isn't actually a thing where you can just tell someone how to do it, they have to be given a general idea how to do it (which CR actually helps provide) and then be...

Yeah.. the thing is your quote of ... " if your party isn't at least this level, this creature could be difficult to defeat without suffering casualties." is found no where in the explanation of monster CR. Specifically your "at least this level". That line is found no where. The description...

CRs need to go.. like.. right now. Get rid of CR all together... or i guess if the game is in tiers just do that for the monsters. Put them in like... 4 tiers (1-5,6-10, 11-15, 16-20 ), Then write something about how the DM can judge how difficult a monster would be for the party based on what...

Whats that I hear? I ... I think it's coming from the SCAG and prestige classes... Shhh.... listen... hear that small scampering? I think it's the sound of power creep beginning... disclaimer that I do not necessarily think these things being shown off are ACTUALLY more powerful than current...

Aaaaaaand begin the power creep supplements!

I hope they get this out of the way and start focusing on something... ANYTHING.. other than forgotten realms. I'm just not excited about this setting as I used to be. Give me planescape, or Dark Sun... I REALLY want Dragonlance... keep going with Eberron... Just anything other than FR at this...

I've been thinking about this question a lot and I haven't come up with an explanation. Why do tabletop games invariably mess up balance to some degree, while the vast vast vast majority of Video Game RPGs seem to put out decently balanced games almost every single time. Even more bewildering...

I just want to go on record that Necro threads are REALLY annoying. That is all.

Random question popped into my head, I wanted to see what you guys think. Anyway... Do you believe that Dungeons and Dragons 5e is worthy enough to be an evergreen product? Biggest evergreen product from Hasbro is monopoly. Can 5e reach monopoly status?

... Does he know what former means? It's usually coupled with latter meaning former is the first option while latter is the second...

I don't buy the forum's are out of date nonsense. Reddit and 4 Chan are some of the most visited and influential sites on the net, they are basically simplified forums. Are they cancer to the internet? Absolutely, but don't give me nonsense about them being out of style or out dated. Social...

Im the only person I have ever met in real life that actually owns Eoris, or has even heard of it. I couldn't tell you about it ...honestly I haven't played it, it looks pretty insane though. I got it for collection purposes mainly.

We getting another edition again? /sigh

Why is everyone freaking out about the 2d6 HP being better than the 1d12. Sure it might have an average that is .5 higher than the d12, but the 2d6 is on a bell curve which is skewed towards the average of 7. The barbarian is going to roll a 12 more often than a ranger, granted he will also roll...

Sucks that they took all the time and still messed up the ranger and misnamed the fighter subclass. :/

So I recently ran a game/universe that I was making for D&D in the cypher system. The original vision was to have the game pretty heavily race / class based. Clearly Cypher doesn't really do that, but I found a pretty easy work around. For races give them a pool of 5 or so descriptors, then for...

I'd be super happy if they did some Dragonlance stuff. Orders of Wizards, Knightly Orders.... etc. Also Kender race and possibly Irda? Im not holding my breath but I would really like to see it. Wouldn't mind some Dark Sun rules either. Apart from campaign settings... I would LOVE some ideas...

normally they drop on the first and they are/were pretty consistent about that if I'm remembering correctly.

Pretty much topic. Is there even going to be one at all this month?

Yeah, they just released a book for the fundamental system itself. I think it would work great for what you want. I've got a lot of universal systems and Cypher System is by far the best IMO.
