Contrary to the impression my posts might have created, I'm not particularly concerned with the name. I'm just trying to understand the concept because I think it's important, when designing a class for 5E, to have a clear idea of its story. The central concept you describe here seems to be...

I don't do critical success/failure on ability checks or saves. If the roll succeeds, the character achieves their intent. If it fails, they do not and suffer a consequence I probably stated before the roll was made. I don't know what you mean by narrative mechanic, but I assume it has...

Okay, but in the title you say outright and in the OP imply the "Adventurer" class is meant to represent "the Everyman" by which I assumed you meant the Everyman stock character archetype. Maybe you meant something else. I don't know. Of the concepts you've described here, only the first seems...

I'm in. Hopefully everyone hasn't gotten completely sick of Bible's Popeye impreshkyns. I've been working on toning it down a little and finding Bible's unique voice. Please bear with me. 🙂

Okay, yeah, maybe in the Geek Talk forum, lol. This clarifies things somewhat, but I think calling it the "Everyman" is muddling the conversation. The everyman isn't the lucky guy or the guy protected by fate or the gods. If that's the concept, then I think a better name for the class would be...

That doesn't quite capture it, and I don't think being average really comes into it. Ordinary is closer to the mark, but not average because the everyman must also display benign conduct for easy audience identification: things like being kind, gentle, good-natured, and friendly. The average...

Sure, but what about the description? The examples are just there for illustrative purposes. I don't see a lot of agreement in the thread about what an everyman is, so I was hoping for some discussion along those lines. It's hard to design a class without a clear idea of its story. The article...

I think for a PC class to play as an everyman, as distinct from an archetypal hero, it needs to grant abilities that allow the player to counter opposition through ambivalence and avoiding engagement but should also let the player take swift vigorous action reactively to avert disaster only when...

Hassan Islayeh, prominent Palestinian journalist, was killed in a targeted strike Tuesday while he was being treated at Nasser Hospital for wounds from a previous strike.

Yesenia Lara Gutiérrez, a candidate for mayor of Texistepec, Mexico, was killed Sunday, along with four of her supporters, when shots rang out at a campaign rally in the eastern state of Veracruz.

It's customary, from what I've seen, to have an "out of character" thread for bookkeeping type things, like if someone's going to be AFK for an extended period or something, and an "in character" thread for the game itself. I'm not sure if it's necessary though. I think everything could be...

I voted for Investigation because, while knowledge of cultural practices that aren't specific to an arcane tradition or a religious community fall under History, experimentation and practical application fall under Investigation.

I think the collection of subjects to which you refer are mostly covered by History (i.e. machinery, architecture, constructs, math, complex traps, and similar technologies). The rest is Nature (i.e. physics).

I'm not sure how to answer your question. What do you mean by "set up"?

I'm not sure why this question is being limited to 5E. It seems to imply the question's about a published "campaign" rendered in a specific system, but the campaign concept applies pretty much universally to all versions of D&D and its variants. Since I'm currently running a 5E game which would...

I've participated in PbP games here on enworld and on the dndbeyond forums. Here, it was as a player only, but on dndbeyond I've both played and DM'd. I've had good experiences with both sites. I'm not familiar with discord and am not sure how running a PbP in a group chat would go, if that's...

I haven't read the whole thread but just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see antisemitic being used correctly for a change.

I haven't had a chance to play it yet, and I'm not sure it's what you're looking for, but Adventures in Oz is a relatively lightweight system that seems pretty flexible.

I was going to say this. These four abilities map to the four classiçal elements as well as four "planar regions" of the D&D multiverse, like so: Fire - Positive Plane - Spiritual (Wisdom) Air - Astral Plane - Mental (Intelligence) Water - Ethereal Plane - Emotional (Charisma) Earth - Material...

Marco Antonio Suástegui, an environmental activist from Guerrero state, Mexico who helped lead the successful grassroots resistance against the La Parota hydroelectric dam project, was shot two weeks ago and died on Friday.
