I see we're thinking along the same lines, but I don't necessarily object to the implementation of all three of those abilities/attributes equally. Intelligence is probably the one I could make the strongest case for staying the way it is. It is true that playing a smarter character won't make...

The first thing that occurs to me is magical senses or sensors of any kind. Blindsense or tremorsense for instance shouldn't necessarily care that much about how hard a rogue is to see and hear. An even more common example would be the scent ability that many beasts have (mechanically, it grants...

So, I would be okay with the proficiency bonus going up by one at every level, actually ("bounded accuracy" was never anything I felt like I really needed but I won't deny that broadly speaking it seems to be working). But having characters well, be proficient in things that they aren't...

So, discounting temporarily the various and diverse "Other" responses, "Monsters" (which to my mind includes NPCs even though I made them separate categories in the poll because I guess my mind was not my mind then? weird) seem to be the most sought after content thus far. This is good because...

The whole OSR movement is something that I enjoy and find fascinating but I haven't actually ever played or run any OSR game. I have read through several, however. OSR games have the same problem as RPGs in general: there are too damn many of them and too few hours in the day. LotFP is super...

I absolutely and pointedly ignored D&D 5E until last year when I realized it was the only thing anyone in my area was playing. So I actually checked it out and turns out, it's pretty darn good! I mean, I also absolutely and pointedly ignored Pathfinder 1E for the same reason right up until...

Can you elaborate on this?

I love HERO System. I think I have just enough room in my life to cram PCing in a HERO System campaign in and I'd like to fill that space in my "free" time with just that. I know 5E Revised like the back of my hand so I'm pretty sure I can figure out 6E (or for that matter, 4E) without too...

I don't. Feel anything about it. I didn't see it.

Basically thread title = thread topic but I'll clarify a little bit. So I'm not asking this just to stir up smiley face emojii smiley face emojii smiley face emojii smiley face emojii but it IS a curiosity question for me. I would describe myself as having "settled comfortably" on D&D 5E, it's...

I mean, in a world where I had a ring of three wishes, I would totally wish myself this job...but honestly, while I really don't say this often, I think I'm probably underqualified. I mean, I'm absolutely certain I'm way underqualified in terms of what they want to see on paper but I also...

Yeah, I think I unborked it. This is BY FAR the strongest citation I've seen for a "singular they" that goes back centuries as opposed to one that is a relatively recent fad. "Man" is an incredibly clear cut singular antecedent paired with a very explicit use of "their". I have no refutation for...

I'll try and keep this digression brief, civil, and friendly. I don't want anyone to have hard feelings over grammar. "Every one" (everyone) is a plural noun. Byron would have written "every man must judge of his own feelings" if he meant to use the singular case. "Any body in their senses"...

I wish you could both laugh at something and give XP to it, but, having picked XP because XP IS LIFE, I want you to know I laughed. billd: if you just unironically said that "they" being a plural pronoun is "JUST" a "political weapon", as opposed to how the English language works... wow. I'm...

I wasn't as offended by this as I was afraid I would be. (I'm sure as hell no MRA, but I no longer support Posthuman Games because of their public statement many years ago firing fans who disagreed with them, but I somehow missed this.....BY 78 PAGES? JEEBUS ABOVE.) This though honestly just...

thanks for the opines everybody please keep 'em coming.

Guilty. Sorry Slit518. I must have been feeling salty about something unrelated, I guess. I mean it is a dumb question but, dumb questions don't generally hurt anyone. But yeah, not to overstate the point but yes, obviously it is very much possible. Arguably, Gary Gygax did it (with a little...

Thread Body = Thread Title = Poll Question. I think I set it up so you can choose up to three: in any case I intended to. If you do make multiple choices and you would want one more than the others, please let me know which choice(s) is/are the priority.

I'm not sure EXACTLY what the answer is, but I think it might be found somewhere out around the Barrier Peaks.

Remember that thing they told you in grade school about how there are no stupid questions? They lied. This is a stupid question. Source: I have literally done it at least ten times. Around half of them got published. Most are sitting at Silver Bestseller on DriveThru, some were nominated for...
