Just going to say it again: you have no idea how much joy you've brought by making me remember these games. You are the best!

I think this is an interesting question. If I'm just talking about 5E as a system, there are a lot of things that every edition has. But if we're just talking 5E versus other editions I would say... Bounded accuracy and proficiency bonus. Advantage and disadvantage Concentration Other than...

This is really cool to know. I know the graphics and character voices aren't the best, but I really recommend this game. It really does a great job with the 5E rules, and the home modules are fantastic.

Great stuff, thanks for the summary.

There are some great YouTube channels with content for Foundry modules. I don't want to link directly to anything (I think that was recently discussed as frowned on here...), but the Clay Golem and especially Lunatic Dice have great videos about content to make your PF2 games better.

Glad to help. Foundry on PF2 is almost unreal in how much it can do for you. I've never seen anything like some of the options they have for it.

There are a couple of modules, that have options for these rules. I would have to look at my instance for which one it is ... I believe it's the Toolbelt. This module has checkboxes for all of the variant rules in the GM's Guide. The short version is: yes. All of the optional rules from the core...

Sometimes you have someone who really loves a car you're just "meh" about. There's ultimately nothing you can do about it to convince them that it's not the car for you. That's been my experience about a great many things.

I would love to see Sebastien de Castell's Greatcoats world as an RPG. It starts off as a Three Musketeers inspired world and ends as a story of saints and gods. Such a great series of books, but very dark at places.

That's a really good question. I think people who are extremely active in the larger gaming community can give the best answer. So I'd listen to SlyFlourish about what's going on in the hobby over SteveC. And that's the thing at the end of the day: we're all just giving opinions based on our...

I guess I thought it was really pretty simple: I'm making the claim that D&D interest is starting to ebb with the 50th Anniversary being done. You're talking about the Time Magazine article ... which I pointed out came out in September. And the New York Times article that was a piece that had...

Man, it is just my day to be a Debbie Downer<tm>. I have a copy of the Time Magazine issue, and it's getting framed for my wall, but that was back in September (I just had to search because I thought it was a while back...). The New York Times article is something we've been discussing here...

Oh, to be sure! I remember back to the early 5E days when it was truly thought of as a "keeping the lights on" edition. 5.5E definitely sold a lot of PHBs at launch. And as you say, we won't really know for the next couple of years. I think the big thing that could very likely prove me very...

It's interesting to dip into this discussion. I guess I do have a dog in the hunt to discuss the MM, as I also have the A5E Monster Book (I support people in the industry a ton). I find it easy to use and reference but I haven't run a game with it yet, so my experience is at a level of "Oh, this...

I love 13th Age. I was fortunate enough to play games with both Jonathan and Rob when they came out to Gamehole Con in years back, and this is a fantastic game. I'm just thinking it may take it a while to actually deliver version 2.0, and the VTT options aren't the best. In-person, I'd say that...

Oh my. I hope that I'm not coming off as dismissive in any way. When I ask for advice or options, I'm really looking for them. Everyone has been helpful (as they usually are!) so I really appreciate the time and effort all of you are putting in to help me and my group out. A couple people have...

Fabula Ultima is on my short list. I'm just a little concerned because it has some narrative mechanics that this group may not be into 100%. Fantasy Age is something to consider too. I picked it up last year and thought, "This is okay." Nothing exciting, unfortunately.

Yes, this is one of the recent Kickstarters I've backed. Once they committed to a VTT option, I was in. I think this will be a very strong choice.

Instead of handling these situations by making new friends, we'll just kill everything! Sounds very old-school to me.
