    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    ??? I guess define 'supernatural'; there's plenty of options in Pathfinder 2e for Martials that don't have explicit magical abilities, and are mainly super athletics, incredible inventors and investigators, perfect stealth machines, etc. Don't drag them into this! Pathfinder 2e is a game where...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Audience - Do you feel like you're the target audience?

    It's not about being easily to please or the quality of the adventure. It's about upfront complexity, how to handle player character involvement, and the length of the adventure. First, what you have mentioned are, from my understanding, adventure collections and shorter adventures. Those are...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Audience - Do you feel like you're the target audience?

    I'm going to assume I am part of the target audience*, even though my experience has primarily been with another system and setting. I am also looking at this from primarily a GM level; as a player, setting books are absolutely better than adventures, since they can easily inspire me to create...

    WotC Hasbro Earnings Call: WotC/BG3 carrying Hasbro

    You REALLY need to actually backup everything you just strawebellebelle, because I am in circles that cares about diversity and not being bigoted, and I have heard NOTHING about these sorts of problems with the game. And while I've not finished it, I have seen nothing that indicates Wylls'...

    How Pathfinder Society is Handling Remaster

    That is certainly arguable for Pathfinder 2e. There's some aspects such as Schools of Magic and possibly Alignment where it's unclear how much the designers of the system wanted to keep it versus them calculating that removing those elements could cause a certain amount of backlash from their...

    Paizo Paizo Price Increases and Sustainability Efforts

    My assumption is that the core books of any system are going to be the primary sellers; them being loss leaders seems to be a bad bet to make. Especially since Paizo more than likely doesn't sell as much of those books in proportion to other companies due to Archives of Nethys existing; the...

    Paizo Paizo Price Increases and Sustainability Efforts

    Well: a) the Witch is about to be significantly improved in Player Core 1, so that will be handled. b) While we're still at level 3, having GM'd an Oracle for nearly 3 full levels and about to do our 20th Session, I really don't think Oracles are terrible; limited in some regards but their...

    D&D General Nolzur creates inclusive miniatures, people can't handle it.

    I'm guessing this is a reference to the Thermian Argument by Folding ideas. Pretty relevant to the thread.

    Unpopular opinions go here

    Er... that is a relatively unpopular opinion. There's a pretty sizeable amount of people who love that film, stating that its genius satire. I haven't seen it and don't have any feelings towards it, but I'd call the opinion expressed at-least controversial?

    Unpopular opinions go here

    Feels funny to say that TLJ was following 'modern politics' and discourse about the fandom, when it's continuing a lot of the thematic ideas and deconstructionist thoughts of say, Knights of the Old Republic 2.

    Evil Genius Games Sues Netflix Over 'Rebel Moon' Roleplaying Game

    Yeah, EG could* be entirely in the right, and still lose, because they don't have the money to go up against Netflix if Netflix wants to drag this out. * honestly, sure, it is possible EG are in the wrong, but that's much less likely considering it's Netflix, a multi-billion company that has...

    I'm ready for a new Star Wars RPG

    I was looking into the FFG books for Star Wars the other day (since they sell the Star Wars Deckbuilding Game, which was heavily recommended and from what I've played, pretty good). But all the core rulebooks are sold out online. Is the system still being developed and sold, and reprinted...

    Evil Genius Games Sues Netflix Over 'Rebel Moon' Roleplaying Game

    Christ, big companies really decided that TTRPGs were the industry to naughty word over this year, huh? Screw you Netflix.

    Planescape Planescape IS D&D Says Jeremy Crawford

    Does that mean that the books have any implications on what settings should include for mechanical or roleplay purposes, or am I simply struggling to think about what that means having not read the rules of these systems?

    Planescape Planescape IS D&D Says Jeremy Crawford

    Did it ever really die totally? t didn't even die in the D&D sphere, as Paizo continued it with Pathfinder and Golarion; obviously that spun off into its own system, but at the very least*, all Adventure Paths are in some way 'canon' in some way and have had large effects on the world. While...

    D&D 5E (2024) IF you're allowing a PC to roll, WHEN does autosuccess matter?

    DND 5e could easily adopt a version of the Simple Skills DC (no level) table from Pathfinder 2e* along with the DC adjustments table**; that would be an excellent starting point for DCs and being able to adjust them to account for proficiency or not. * DC increasing in steps of 5 - 10, 15, 20...

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    As far as I can tell, there's no specific tool built in to draw arcs or semi-circles. I do see some modules that might be useful in helping with that. Note: this is an area that I am not very experienced in, since I've only started using the drawing tools in the last week. The Foundry Discord...

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    You can draw squares/rectangles, circles, lines, and freehand elements, and put in text elements too. You can then select an individual element, and customise its colour, whether it has text or not, whether it is filled or not, etc. I think it's pretty nice. Granted, I've only been using it a...

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    Foundry is awesome, especially for Pathfinder 2e, but just in general. Taking time to curate a module list and get some real goodies feels great when they enhance play at the table, and the flexibility of the whole system is very much appreciated. The fact I can easily just draw maps inside or...

    D&D General Does D&D Have an Identity Crisis?

    I would suggest the tone of D&D 5e books are more than likely mostly established by the 5e team and what they want, rather than marketing; that would explain the difference in MTG and D&D's tone re: Strixhaven. It would also explain why the film and BG3 have a very different tone; not the same...
