I think we should definitely not follow Paizo's example. Class-based feats in itself could work, but PF2's implementation is horrible - those class feats nickle and dime you things you should just get, for free. At every step Paizo has taken itemization to extremes. When I played the game, I was...

Look, the obvious truth is: D&D is whatever it's publisher publishes. If you want to play D&D like I do, as opposed to another game, part of the attraction is playing not a D&D game but the D&D game. A game with good support, good rulescrafting, good balance. The game "everyone" focuses on and...

Could I ask you to expand a little as to why you like this campaign? Regards

The OP would, of course, rather pay WotC $60 to write it!

Torchbearer. Huh. Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time...

Sounds like you're making a "plus" thread here.

Counterpoint: the problem with the prequel movies isn't that we're grown up, it's because it's crap. On the other hand, Harry Potter is excellent, though not directed at us grown ups.

The AP I ran from start to finish was Extinction Curse. But I then started Abomination Vaults, and for a while it seemed like what you say. However, after the first few levels, the structure mandated by the PF2 rules reimposed itself and I burned out maybe 50-60% into the module. The chief...

I really tried Pathfinder 2, but it's far too rigid and inflexible. I still can't fathom why anyone looked at the troubles D&D 4 brought WotC and decided "let's take the most extreme aspects of that game!" Just like D&D 4, a Pathfinder 2 adventure feels not like D&D, but specifically D&D4 and...

Sure. But that's your actual argument, you wouldn't have argued against me. What you really appear to be arguing in favor of, is for the publisher to publish the least intriguing most vanilla content possible, and, crucially, for us to settle for that and just accept we can't get any more than...

You are rationalizing WotCs behavior. Okay so far, but all I see is you being resigned from getting your dreams, man.

No, I don't think I do. As I read you, you're arguing for WotC to stop with their Christmas layoffs and more, but you're completely fine with them releasing only the widest safest most vanilla products imaginable? I know that I would put "release actually intriguing campaign worlds" on that...

The "corporations should be able to only care about money!" argument just isn't interesting to discuss. However, its close friend "we're better off with a corporate overlord that only panders to the majority and never takes any chances" is much more interesting to scrutiny. Myself, I'm...

I want people to use a different word than stealing when... nothing has been stolen. Just like you don't accuse someone of theft when they burn down your house or hit you with a bat. And more to the point; just because I might argue "arson isn't theft", does not mean I have stated "arson is not...

Yes you can laugh. Myself, I'd be more inclined to cry when I think about the creative void at the center of WotC and how much better our hobby would be off if it wasnt dominated by a 500 pound gorilla that does absolutely everything to try to please everyone at the same time.

I was talking about word usage not legalities. Read what I wrote again.

The world would be much better off if the web "to steal" was reserved for only cases where the original owner is deprived of the thing stolen. If I take your car so now you have nothing to drive around in, I have stolen your car. If I build an exact replica of your car, but you still have your...

I think it is because the sole parameter for WotC is "will this exclude somebody?" They don't care whether a setting is interesting or intriguing or unique. They care only for maximizing sales; that nobody can say their special character feels out of place. They always go for the most generic...

Stacy? (See, I remembered more than that Labrador guy)

I remember only one thing: Labrador the Magic User.
