So would I. The problem is that very few DM's don't want to run that type of game. IMO here is most high level D&D material is read and daydreamed about but few have the skill or will to make much use of it. Castles and Crusades 1e which is a D&D variant for the uninitiated never had levels...

Same here though AD&D considered L10 enough to tackle a God! (C.f Queen Demon Web Pits max level 14) In my experience a lot lack the skill much less the interest to run high level games as well. I'd hope that the "OMG I gave my players a +1 sword my game is DOOMED!" mentality that has been...

Not a bad UA though psionics aren't going to be for every game. My personal opinion is that 2e psionics were the coolest and worked best but I like the fact this meshes better than I would have expected the rules to do so and doesn't feel like its that different than other magics.

This is why many nations have a national health care system and a welfare state, This serves to buffer the effects of the market and someone in the UK for example won't go without basic healthcare or food no matter how they make a living. The US culture is rather different though. It's not...

This is a sad outcome for all This is a combination of our so called RPG industry actually being a hobby with only a miniscule number of decently paid positions and the fact the US (and note other nations do not have this issue) not having a national health care system like pretty much every...

Big loss for his family and this hobby. R.I.P.

Playing D&D theater of mind is not a new thing. My groups played 1e and 2e and 3e and 3.5 as well as Pathfinder sans miniatures without any issues (we never played 4) In any case lending a character a figure and teaching them how to use the grid is a very low barrier of entry. Now there...

Because I used to do polls for a living and I am suspicious of the validity of them even to this day. The thing is, true or not the increase in gamers and in women is GOOD news not bad news.

I think 40% of the player's being women is a bit of a stretch however there are more female players than back in the day and I think that's terrific.

Choosing the term ancestor was smart since its free of political baggage, more suitable to mixed species characters and less ambiguous all at once.

I had to cut a lot of really good material here but let me say this, the way things are you can't really discuss politics on a political forum much less anywhere else. Worse all of the problems that the article notes are political in nature and require political, cultural and economic solution...

Taking the article at face value here. When it comes to working hard, Cui Bono? who benefits ? Given that nearly all economic gains at least in the West go to the top 1% with another more affluent 10% getting the rest and every other group losing wealth in amounts half or more of percent GDP...

Can't imagine trying to game high, my game is goofy enough as it is. My current policy is marijuana is not welcome at my table even though its legal in my state and violating that warning will get you expelled . What you do in your own time is your business . I'm sketchy about alcohol , I'd...

De gustibus non est disputandum. Its by no means my game of choice and I've played two or three times and I can certainly see the flaws but its decently fun enough to have been continuously sold for over 80 years . Now will these nano games be fun? Who knows. As to Hussars point about...

Monopoly is still fun to play which is more than enough for any game. Who cares if it was flawed? Heck OD&D is mechanically dubious but is so much fun many people still play it today and people still make variants and material for it . By any measure its a great success at what its meant to...

Every so often some political bugaboo or other gets made into a game. The last one before this, not counting Blue Rose which is a game with an agenda instead of an agenda with a game was Lou J. Porters Blood and Choice which was a D20 variant about abortion clinics ! Yes really. Now I...

Phandelver only, using the pre-gens even. It was actually pretty good. Our other 5e games have been either sword and planet themed or something else

I've never even seen an event at any FLGS I frequented , ah actually it vaguely possible there was an adventurers league game at my FLGS , not sure. Apparently it was a thing for about a month or three before it went away.

I'm answering no as our D&D 5e campaign is by the book using WOTC material only. I' allow the arcane archer feat myself but its unpublished WOTC material not homebrew We've been fooling around with the D20 Modern conversion though , its 100% homebrew so yes for other games
