The idea is that practical skills get muddled behind the veil of a past life, but it's not like they gain amnesia when they get reborn. In fact, I was thinking of flavouring Level Up Elves' Glance the Future gift as not seeing the future, but retrieving a key moment of insight from a past life...

As a big Monkey Island fan, we're on the same page!

In my country we haven't even been able to drop the term FRP, so branding away from TTRPGs almost feels impossible to me. That said, I'm actually a fan of Retired Adventurer's term "Adventure Games", even if it may get confused with the same video game genre.

I admittedly didn't think about the Orcs of my setting much, but they're part of the "races" that were deemed as "uncivilised" in the Imperial Age (when most of the known world was under a human-centric theocratic empire), and were treated as second-class citizens. That oppression also meant...

If we're going to decouple the "in-universe" resting from resource recovery, I'd much prefer 13th Age's system where you need to go through a set number of encounters before you earn a long rest, and if you try to rest the game rules tell the GM to give the players some negative consequence.

I'll keep my detailed comments to the feedback survey, but I just want to say that the whole process of spell customisation is ridiculous. 1- Cast Modify Spell on a spell 2- Immediately use your reaction to cast Create Spell, then you have to spend one hour meditating on the spell (but that one...

I absolutely did not mean to invalidate your experience. This is a very valid concern, and apologies if my comment came across as dismissive. Circumventing two-way blocks or blocks made for personal security are a completely different matter, and in those cases helping people circumvent those...

I think trying to go around blocks or following what a person who blocked you said is petty and rather childish. That said, I don't know if codifying block-workarounds would be the way to go. Sometimes I see that I'm missing a clear piece of an ongoing conversation, and in those times I tend to...

For me, the cutoff point of "All the books here play nice together" is right at the end of Mythic Odysseys of Theros. Theros was a crunchy book with new, interesting mechanics that worked with the underlying design philosophy of 5E (the Piety system and Mythic monsters). Up to this point, there...

True. Then again, it's a terrible PR move for a company whose customer base clearly cares about optics. It's like partnering with Standard Oil in an oil cleanup disaster. Sure, Standard Oil's successors also dabble in clean energy and work legally these days, but there's literally more than a...

The examples you give are very interesting, but do note they either contain (1) legal action through channels that don't involve detective agencies or (2) a hastening of the preview process by WotC to compensate for the leaks. So by your own examples, sending a detective agency to somebody's...

If the guy indeed possessed the cards unlawfully, perhaps they could have, I don't know, actually requested the cards through legal means? You make it sound like the poor multi-billion dollar company was so desperate that their only choice in avoiding leaking some printed cardboard that they...

I think the little snippets of text were quite useful for getting a preview of the news articles, so I'm a bit bummed those have gone away. Thumbs slightly down on my end as well.

TWENTY SESSIONS? The only thing I can say is that I wish I had time on my real life job, let alone my free time hobby. Can I borrow your Time-Turner sometime?

I was shocked when I heard the credits song because I was definitely not expecting Tame Impala in my D&D! A really great song nonetheless.

Interesting to see they ended up registering the license at the Library of the Congress instead of leaving the license's control to a neutral organisation. The license doesn't seem that different from what the OGL 1.0 set out to do, let's see if the large number of adopters makes a difference!

I remember him mentioning something about the magic of the ancients right before he leaves, so perhaps he's an Oath of the Ancients Paladin?

Oh yeah, lore-wise it absolutely makes sense, and the actor played the Lawful Good Paladin trope perfectly (and even showed how you can be a goody-two-shoes in a heist movie while sticking to your principles and having heart!). That said, what makes for a good movie doesn't make for a good table...

That actually explains so much. As it was, Xenk felt a bit overpowered and really felt like a bad DMPC - albeit a very enjoyable one!

Eh, I agree with Spice8Rack's view that they actually beat Marvel to the punch on doing a big multiverse plot this time. It's just that... Well, it all happened too quickly, innit?
