Glad you are in agreement with my points. 😀

My adherence to things I've seen in person? To the trends that are clearly visible in the news and the events of earlier this year? Perhaps as a moderator you could recuse yourself from your persistent, hostile comments towards me? Or send me a link to the moderation guidelines lest I fall...

This is actually the most insightful comment. Despite being intended as a dunk, you've inadvertently hit upon the truth of the matter. It is very 2008. MegaCorp D&D is on top of the world, its earnings affected in no way by the rescinding of the OGL and climbdown. What has changed...

I'm going to create a character sheet that works for 5e and A5e with good design that is verified to work. I'm going to teach people how to empower themselves by learning the mechanics. I'm going to write and post about why you'd want to do this and how to effectively do it. See OP. 😀

Well, I guess that this is where running a club for roleplayers helps me see more of the situation because I have met these people. shrugs People having problems with math weren't unknown before. Guess I'll just go with my experience of meeting people rather than your theories about them.

Fair enough. 1. The traditional model of TTRPG is that D&D players are onboarded there and then "filter out" to other games when they get bored/discover them. 2. I follow the news quite closely. D&D has been working since mid 22 towards an online heavy presence. As referenced in the piece...

You think that players being dependent on beyond so that they are at the table on their phones is pencil and paper? And that they retain the skills? Goodness, well that's an assertion.

Perhaps you feel that if everyone is sat around the table using their phones and laptops to run the game that is significantly different from online only? I don't know. :) Only you can know what you don't know. Or can you? Difficult philosophical question. Anyway, I work on the weekly...

Hasbro is moving to online only, in essence. This will mean that many new role-players won't actually ever have played a game where they've had to use pen and paper. I thought I'd write a bit about that what with having spent time teaching adults very hard things and teaching players new...

I have strong opinions on making character sheets and how they help people learn and understand your game. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/08/02/character-sheet-design-as-user-interface-ii-practical-results/ Part I is here...

Was doing a bit of thinking about one of my hobby horses, character sheet design. What do they tell us about a game and what are we telling our players that we don't know we're telling our players. I wouldn't share this but it seems to be moderately well received elsewhere...

I just use Exploration Challenges | Level Up because some clever people have done all the thinking and planning for me. I suppose if I ran out I could make my own: https://a5e.tools/rules/exploration-challenges It's pretty simple. But then I don't like having to work really hard to prepare...

Xiphumour has the right of it. I can only keep up to a limited extent with the A5e.tools website and I know for a fact that it updated over the 3 days I was writing my player post because Cervid's went from not-online to online. I don't know much about 3e. I was playing other games. I do know...

Perhaps you are interested in telling people about why they should play A5e? I wrote two articles, one for prospective narrators, one for prospective players. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/14/how-to-explain/ https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/07/12/so-why-would-i-want-to-play-a5e/

I'm having a go at running To Save a Kingdom. Maybe this will help you out if you've been feeling stuck. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/07/05/to-save-a-kingdom-adventure-path-gamestart-brief/

Let me know about good and bad stuff. FYI, I realised halfway through that Vicious and Ferocious (aka Vicious but you have to expend an exertion point) needed to be different, but I didn't update the actual table, so I've sorted that and the alphabetisation. It was a bunch of really...

I thought it would be nice to see if I could make weapon properties exciting. Magical weapons doing cool stuff was the key. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/29/advanced-weapon-properties/

Oh thanks for identifying yourself as a rude as well as a moderately tedious person! :) Fortunately, I have guidelines in place to deal with the likes of you. :) I look forward to forgetting your existence! :)
