Yes, of course. Many of 4e's design concepts form the foundation of 5e, so it'll be somewhat familiar. ;) If you've got experience with 5e, you might consider beginning with 4e's Essentials line. Those books were produced late in 4e's cycle and represent a simplification and unification of all...

This hits around the question I keep thinking about: are you going to run 2E RAW or houserule it? That's the trick. If you're going to houserule it, you're almost certainly going to be bringing in pieces of 5E and suddenly you're making modern design concessions. The Ship of Theseus appears on...

I do something like this by adapting the rest rules in 13th Age to 5e. After every two encounters, the party gets the benefit of a short rest. After their sixth encounter, they get the benefits of a long rest. So over the course of six encounters, the players will get two short rests and one...

I don't mean to say that every part of 13A's TotM system is unique or was never done before. 13A might have taken some ideas about TotM - some of them new and others borrowed - and arranged/designed them in a particular way to suit a D&D-style FRPG. I can't speak to how much 13A's designs...

Do you know where I can find that? I've only found dead links. Compare Roshambo to 13A and you tell me whether I'm off-base or not. :)

I've got a copy of HoL and I know what you're aiming at. ;) I acknowledge that many RPG designs are built on the shoulders of predecessors, transforming and adapting them to new uses. If we grant that 13A's doing the same thing, it transformed and adapted prior techniques to a D&D-style FRPG in...

You can't claim that Volanin somehow innovated on the already-existing TotM system from 13th Age while also admitting that you don't understand the 13th Age ​TotM system. That makes no sense.

This thread can be about more than one thing. As for my intentions, I have no idea who volanin is. I found their thread while browsing other threads here in the forum, as I've done for some time. Seeing what they did in their TotM/Roshambo "development" thread, I wanted to be sure that they...

It doesn't seem too out of place given that this thread's about taking credit for the work of others.

13th Age will solve all of your problems. It's got the best TotM system for D&D-based games and it's available for free through 13th Age's SRD: https://www.13thagesrd.com/combat-rules/ If you're not familiar with 13th Age, it's sort of like "D&D 4.5e". Since it's based in D&D 4e, it's also...

What other products have you borrowed from and neglected to credit the original creators for in the product you're selling for money? In the forum thread which purportedly chronicled your development of this TotM system, you never make it clear that you're borrowing heavily from other products...

I don't think you've got much room to criticize when the product you're selling on the DM's Guild on Theater of the Mind in 5e borrows heavily from 13th Age without acknowledging that fact.
