I think you could do a very nice pulp sword&sorcery game with 5E. Human only, restrict classes to Barbarian (berserker), Fighter (Battlemaster or Champion), Monk (Open Hand or Shadow), Rogue (Assassin or Thief), and Warlock (Fiend or Great Old One). That's like 9 classes, not a bad selection...

Another thing to consider is there are fewer "power ups" from level 11-20, than there are from 1-10. Typically you're only getting 1-3 new archetype abilities, 1 each of level 6-9 spells, and so on. My RotRL campaign has just gotten into 12+ levels, it'll be interesting to see how things speed up.

Microlite20 is still my go-to light rpg.

While I don't think we'll see a "Pathfinder" AP for 5E, it's not outside the realm of possibility for Paizo to co-produce one for WotC, as with Sasquatch, Kobold Press, and Green Ronin.

"Martin Elricsson" - why isn't this guy working on Stormbringer???

Almost as if they making way for something new...

More and more tempted to give this game a test drive.

I heartily recommend the Swordmage and Last Mythal trilogies. They really get into the Realms lore in a way that makes you want to jump right into a FR campaign.

Me too. I'm running Rise of the Runelords with 5E in Golarion. About 1/3 through the final episode as of Sunday!

First, nice disqualification attempt with "nerd rage". That never gets old. :/ Secondly, links to the game developers' explicit promises to create a game faithful to the 5E rule set have been posted in these discussions like 20 times now. Are you just deliberately ignoring them?

I'm not sure what D&D games you've played, but as far back as Pools of Radiance, my gaming group at the time all entered our tabletop characters to play in the computer game. And as late as Neverwinter Nights, I literally recreated my 3E fighter ("Gorum the Butcher" lol) for the game, feats and...

Count me among those who were really expecting something like a 5e version of the 3e Neverwinter Nights. That game had a great combination of story and system mastery you could take to the table. Luckily I heard the truth (5e "inspired" not actually based on the rules), before I clicked that...

I wonder what happened in April to make 3.5 games nearly double? Also, it's kind of cool to see Savage Worlds slow but steady gain in popularity. This is a game that has been around a while, but I never really took a good look at until recently, and I liked what I saw.

This stood out to me as well. I wonder how much is long-time players sticking with the edition, and how much is simply because the SRD is free and accessible online.

I had to go and look that up lol "You are a maid, having worked dutifully for the Saionji family for several years. You are also a shy albino princess who does odd jobs for the yakuza, and train with the three-section staff. Your peer Maya is an outgoing young maid with freckles, a streak of...

I don't know if there is really any hard data to show. Anecdotally, it seems like for every comment I see dissatisfied with 5E's slow pace, I see 5 comments grateful for it. But that could totally be confirmation bias lol. This just may be one of those situations where the noise on Internet...

Thanks Cap'n Judgement. Get help soon.

I still don't get the ranger hate. The ranger in my group is awesome.

I'm guessing (hoping?) Bladesinger will be the Wizard equivalent of the Eldritch Knight, heavier on the spells while the EK is heavier on the fighting side.
