    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    not sure I saw that as a psi subplot, that would have worked for me without psionics just as well (see Raistlin in DL)

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    it lasted about 5 years, but that is longer than 3e did…

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    would have worked for me, they have the templars for that. Also saw no need for psionics though

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    they are licensing a product, the money for that goes somewhere, that somewhere is either JG, or, with JG's agreement their KS backers. Out of the two options, refunding the backers is clearly the better one

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – World's Largest Dungeon, Cosmic Dark, Neon City Outlaws, and more

    I assume they do it for their own rather than the vanilla ones, but who knows... how large is that conversion packet, any idea?

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Druids fell into the preserver niche for me, and clerics never really bothered me, maybe because they existed in other settings as well whereas psionics was something I only encountered in Dark Sun and maybe as a result it did feel like they were specifically added so we could have our cake and...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    never liked psionics in Dark Sun, so you have a light and a dark side of ‘the force’ in the preserver and defiler, and then you decide that it is for fools, because psionics are just magic without the downsides of either…

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    ok, so I bind and gag the wizard, but the psion gets their throat cut when they get captured, works for me ;)

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I think I read somewhere that around 50% of those following a project end up backing it yep, it’s more a ‘keep me in the loop’ There is little correlation between what I back and what I follow

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    can you to the point of performing Telekinesis? otherwise I am not sure your real-world experience counts ;)

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    we will first have to agree that it is a bad rule, so far it is mostly about personal taste

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    what about third parties observing the caster? I want it as clear to them as to the target. It also doesn’t address the restraint part…

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    I can ignore the material spell components, but just ‘thinking’ with no gestures is a ‘no’ from me. It should be obvious who is ‘casting the spell’ and being restrained should have the same preventative effect as for spellcasters

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    being a successful artist is very different from running a successful company. In the former case you are not really employing your friends & family as employees of the company (i.e. expect them to generate enough money to 'pay for themselves'), you give them handouts because you expect the good...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    well, I certainly would be curious about a 5e Dark Sun book, so let's hope you called it correctly ;)

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    huh, did not realize they changed it, stopped caring about UAs halfway through the 2024 ones…

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    the lesson is give 1s and 5s only, everything else leaves too much up for interpretation… the ‘nuance’ has to come from the fact that you are not the only one filling out the survey

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    I don’t know, to me that sounds like you overestimate Gygax or underestimate yourself, imo he did pretty poorly, below average (at running a business)

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    you can get psionics without having to also get Dark Sun. Is there anything in the UA that explicitly ties it to DS / an upcoming DS product?

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    feels pretty premature for calling it...
