Main issue for me going in: The Poisoned mechanic feels like it should be doing damage over time, like in previous editions and in many video games. But nope. Just grants disadvantage.

Took me over a year, yeah.

It was fun. It did what I wanted. No major issues beyond lack of development for a couple of characters. I would like more. 8/10

It's my experience that the MM tends to cover "the basics" with other materials tending to be more expansive. So if you only were buying one, you probably still buy the MM.

They can try.

Combine Animal Handling, Nature, and Survival into a single skill Create a ride/pilot skill Increase the skill floor of the classes that get only 2 skills like Fighters to 3. Get rid of languages. Replace with linguistics skill.

The living spell version of Unseen Servant from Dungeon of the Mad Mage does not have a flight speed, so I'd say no to flying.

I would stop purchasing content until after 6th ed released.

I am curious to see if Lost Worlds also got picked up.

If the notion of art is "an act of human expression" then of course they are. If the notion of art is of it as a artifice of social judgement, then ultimately, your mileage will vary. I find such judgements are so intrinsically personal that while they can be fodder for sincere discussion, they...

For me, the "danger" of class bloat is not so much adding a new class, as it opens the door for needed subclasses for said class. While I like the artificer and feel it is doing things that a wizard subclass would struggle reproducing, thus far, they have added all of one new subclass since the...

If the stated goal is simulation, then can you actually object to any choices the players make?

So joining late and only responding to the OP. From a narrative standpoint, why have guards show up? Why not have them describe how they escape and move onto the actual events of consequence?

I think we are speaking past each other here. I am not speaking to the challenges this strike brings to productions. I am speaking to how, with the previous strike, there was a near immediate effect that led to very vocal audience discontent. That discontent is what puts pressure on the studios...

Definitely would be the focal point for a game. My rough plan would be setting it about 30 years prior to the series, mainly so most of the existing characters aren't around.

I don't claim to know much on modern show production. But I do know that audiences are conditioned right now to accept 2-3 year gaps between seasons can happen.

Not to derail, but multiple members of my gaming table are demanding a Shadow and Bone rpg. Gonna give it a try using Blades in the Dark.

So what has me concerned is that the last strike happened with us still working primarily under the network television model being the most important. What that meant was that shows hat were actively on were going to be immediately affected. With streaming now being more common, and post covid...

It's funny. One of my early characters as a kid used the whole "I'm from Earth, thrust into a fantasy world" trope, but as time has gone on, apart from Ravenloft, I really rarely use a Multiverse in a given campaign. I think when most people use Multiverse as a storytelling trope now, it's...

Some great insight here. Thanks to everyone so far. Like a few people who have commented, TTRPG makes up the lionshare of my hobby spending, so I am able to buy things every few months or so without much pain to my budget. I have another member of my table who has collected a good number of...
