I'm disappointed that an historian like Peterson is working on something which can be hardly seen as nothing else than a celebration (and it's clear from the description). On the other side, he's the only redeeming factor I can see now in that.

Seeing people amazed by weapon mastery makes it clear how many of them never tried anything outside of 5e. Which is a bit sad.

Blizzard made the World of Warcraft Elves. It's a culture clash now.

I don't get it. Why wizards and clerics should be treated better (i.e., more options and larger page count) only because they had this dumb thing in the 2014 edition? The 8 schools and the domains don't need to be subclasses at all. They can be easily shoved in through other class privileges.

I'm guessing the community will still need the ORC, whatever it happens with OGL. The "morale clause" is too much of a risk. And I still find it not necessary, as almost all of the (very few) RPG discutibile products out there weren't ever made with the OGL.

Yeah, this is borderline gaslighting and victim-blaming. And it somewhat works, judging from some reactions I've read.

I would say D+, actually. Plainly lying is a no-no, that's not lessened by anything else. And the statement from WotC is full of obvious lies.

If all of these leaks are true, they make that official statement from D&D Beyond even more of a lie, if that's even possibile.

Having said that, Greg Stafford's "King Arthur Pendragon" is the (grand)father of all narrative games.

Well, it's Pendragon.

To be completely precise, the basic Dragonlance Campaign Setting book for D&D 3.5 was a in-house Wizards of the Coast product. "Only" the other supplements were Sovereign Press.

SAGA was an innovative system, quite ahead of its time. The "Dragonlance: Fifth Age" version was still a bit too rough, but it got really, really good with the "Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game". It was probably too much different from what people were expecting from rpgs in those times, but...

This perfectly sums up my thoughts.

King Arthur Pendragon 6th edition (Chaosium): Pendragon Quick-Start DIE The Roleplaying Game (Rowan, Rook & Decard): DIE RPG

I appreciate the thread-branching. Myself, I usually prefer rules systems that model the narrative and the fiction, but it doesn't have to be a laser-focus on some specific aspect. I mean, I can certainly do some FitD, but I also appreciate a broader focus: The One Rings is actually a fitting...

And that could be said for almost any game. But D&D doesn't model heist in any way, mechanically speaking. It simply becomes a matter of playstyle. In which case, I prefer a game that gives me the instruments to play on the strengths of the heist.

Well, let's just completely exclude mechanics from RPGs, then. There's actually a reason Blades in the Dark and the Leverage RPG has been well regarded and are influential. The same goes for the GUMSHOE system and the investigation mechanic. D&D doesn't certainly support heist (or...

"Rifts®", please! I guess its fans (the few surviving ones) are loyal and the project isn't (mis)managed by Kevin Siembieda himself, but by a new creative director who firstly became involved with Palladium through Savage Rifts®. Savage Rifts® has (rightly) got some good fame, so that helps...
