That is the most concise summary of it I have heard yet.

I can see uses for others but not for me. As for size of book - we always host so that isn't a factor; I'm getting on in years, and eyesight is getting worse, so that is another factor for me; and for my collector side, ever other game book I have are full size, all the way back to 1st ed D&D...

Is this an article version of a TV clip show, most of it is made up of clips (links) of older shows, with a little new material?

And that would be awesome. :D

Mine would be that I only have 4 hours to game a week, and don't want to waste 25% of that time on a stall. I'd actually want to do something - do some roleplaying that actually has an impact (whether on the plot, or my character, or someone else's character... or just to have fun; fighting...

As I recall there was a letter in response to the Holthaus article responding that it was a little too real world. Things like "I'd trust the dwarf about underground specific" and quotes some game text about them being exceptional miners or underground. And rolling the spherical rock instead of...

One of the trends I've noticed some on purpose and some not, but it ended up this way - all the classes I have finished for Pathbreaker have "subclasses" built in. That is there in the core game to an extend (wizard schools, sorcerer bloodlines etc), but as I tend to make make broader more...

I found the solution to that in 1 on 1 RPG session. You and the GM, and it's desinged as a solo character, and that kind of thing drives the adventure. But then I married my GM almost 35 years ago and she likes the kind of stuff... so I don't know applicable that answer would be in a more...

DSP again - the Aegis class (psionics). And the classes has Astral Constructs as a spell like ability - structure the same as the Summoner's Summon Monster rather than as spells.

Three month gap and this thread is still on first page wow. Back at writing and theory-crafting. Right now working on a new class - I mentioned a couple of posts ago. The Astral Adept. I've got the basic framework down (when veils are chosen, along with how they power up) when bonus feats or...

Late to the table: a) $20 maximum, normally like my adventures in PDF. b) $40-$50. Depending on game, system, company and writers. I would likely pay a little more for a Monte Cook Games book than I would another company, because I've always got my money's worth from every book I've got from...

I watched the video, and while I disagree, I understand it. This is responding to the original video, rather than any conversation that follows so if I am repeating something, apologies. To me the comparison would be Pizza - all D&D is pizza, but what toppings on it are what define it and give...

Before I started playing D&D I'd read Tolkien and a smattering of Farmer. After D&D (I started with Basic in 77 when I was ten) - I read Elric, Fafrd & Grey mouser and Conan - then realized I hate swords and sorcery as a genre (as I really didn't like any of those) and stopped reading it. Aside...

This was in third and so not especially optimal. I decided to play a fighter who happened to be devoutly religious. Juts for flavor - one of the other PCs was a cleric of that deity, and they had many talks, so he moved more and more that direction and at 3rd level multiclassed into paladin...

I got Level Up, to take my 5E game in that direction, and so I have a variation of 5E I already like.

I never got around to reading those, but I loved Shike.

All three Good Alignments, and a Lawful Neutral once, but I ended up not liking the character. I like to play heroes rather than adventurers. My most common played genre is super-hero (not just super powered or super, but super-hero). I tend to drag that attitude somewhat when I play fantasy...

I have two - The first is/was Champions/HERO - I was exposed to it in 1985 in my first year at university. All I had played before that were TSR games (D&D, Gamma World etc). I had actually made a list of what elements would be the perfect RPG for me mechanically. HERO hit every one. It was our...

The two I mentioned were both HERO characters. Supers.

And in non D&D groups I have played a genderless man sized space amoeba, and a collection of pieces of metal held together by a forcefield..
