    Describe your last rpg session in 5 words

    Unfortunately, this could apply to ... half my game sessions? DMing tired Players parenting concurrently.

    D&D 5E (2024) The sorcerer shouldn't exist

    Fair enough This is more or less my same list, but I would separate out the Shapeshifter as a generic metamorph class and create a two Monster classes, Lycanthrope and Vampire. I think they are unique enough to warrant their own classes.

    D&D General A Unified Spellcasting Mechanic for 5E?

    Between the standardized spell progression for non-Warlocks and that all spells function the same ... I think 5e already does have unified spellcasting mechanics. The differences between how Bards and Sorcerers know spells vs. Wizards and their spellbook, and Clerics and Druids having full...

    D&D 5E (2024) The sorcerer shouldn't exist

    Yeah ... and are we saying the current crop of Sorcerer threads are breaking new ground that hasn't also been discussed to death?

    D&D 5E (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    Voted 4, but tbh that was me rounding up. The UA process has at least, to me, justified that on the Player side of the 2024 revision will be enough rebalancing and tweaking to make it worthy of a new book and not just errata. I still enjoy 5e enough that that'll be good. Where I'm hopeful but...

    D&D General Matt Colville on adventure length

    Well, there's the other question ... is it worth revamping the current model given that there is a design goal of staying close to 5e? There looked to be an effort to push all classes to a more Long Rest model, given the first UA Warlock, but it was rejected ... now we see a shift in the other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Brainstorm Sorcerer upgrades. (+)

    To be honest, I think, assuming most of the changes made in UA stick and go to print, that the 2024 Sorcerer covers a lot of the basics of what I want. I prefer a more flexible and easier to play sorcerer class and a lot of the changes I see advocated for make them more niche, complicated to...

    What would you like to see in Baldur's Gate 4?

    TBH, I'd rather get a DnD videogame set in a non-Forgotten Realms campaign world. Eberron would be my first choice, but Spelljammer, Planescape or Dark Sun would be also interesting. So, if it had to be BG4 ... then a campaign that does go up to the upper tier of play (up to level 20) and...

    Halfway through the series, just finished E4. My only Fallout gaming experience was Fallout 4, and ... got about halfway through before I stopped playing. Enjoying the show well enough

    Solid first episode ... but I am not binging through tonight. Very expensive looking.

    Trailer Star Wars Outlaws: Official Story Trailer

    Look, Kyle Katarn is pretty, but he's also the result of sticking Luke and Han in a blender.

    Grade the Forged in the Dark System

    I've read through Blades and Scum and Villainy, and liked both, but ended up just stealing the clock for my Star Wars campaign using Fate Condensed rules. I do worry that playbooks are too prescriptive and defined, but I still find the system intriguing.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I've been reading Fancy Bear Goes Phishing, a book about famous hacks and it's been quite informative and easy to digest.

    D&D 5E (2024) In Interview with GamesRadar, Chris Perkins Discusses New Books

    Credit to Mike Mearls for breaking me out of this particular rut ... maybe not all classes should have subclasses. There's a desire for design symmetry and consistency, but a narrower, more niche class maybe shouldn't have subclasses. That said, I still believe that class bloat is a thing to...
