Shadowdweller mentioned this in the "Why aren't you using 5E 2024" thread and this is a topic I need to seek advice on regarding set ups people have or are using for their in person table games. My small quandary is that I foresee using more of the new rule set, primarily those that affect...

I've heard similar, but with coffee. In their case: likes the smell of roasted coffee beans, thinks coffee as it is brewing is great. Can not stand coffee as a drink. Has sampled hundreds of varieties, in all kinds of quantities in different types of drink. Has been insisted too by many that if...

Nice to see this gain notice here; also nice to see new developers from the Continent offering their niche take on 5E, emphasizing particular cultural lodestones for English-readers. In concert with the traditional genres it draws on, folks may want to peruse their barfight/brawling system...

@DarkCrisis I've enjoyed when you and others have plainly shared your joys as they've recently happened with particular games; it's moments like this that for one, I receive benefit of vicariously experiencing and find inspiring.

~20 ish years for a version of the game that celebrated 50 may seem not recent in terms of interest, but I'd include that span of time as recent; it's barely a generation. I see this more along the lines of Mozart, Hayden & Beethoven popularizing (J.S.) Bach during their time, with the...

JUSTICE FOR BING-BONG! There was a small adventure before this one that was put together and streamed, not terribly long after the game was released. It had the larger cast I believe (including Amelia Tyler, who voiced all the narrators and generously switched off in the adventure to narrate as...

I haven't followed up on where development for this is at, but may be worth looking: Wandering Blades | Not DnD

Second this suggestion, I'd even recommend considering some of the tasks that were expected of the Avatar in Ultima 4 to demonstrate these virtues as inspo.

I empathize with this situation (having been publishing-adjacent & a copyeditor) completely! With the trend of substacks, mediums, patreons and like, there also has been a corresponding increase of ppl who financially could afford an editor and/or copy editor, but believe w/ certainty they...

I comprehend peoples' assertiveness in support of game play styles: I have to highlight this; OP chose to address issues right away. This situation is clearly not-as-big upon reflection by OP. How can this engagement between OP and their player be painted as caustic, and not coming from a...

I largely concur with most others' assessment that the kerfuffle feels more centered on differences between the player's preferred style and what OP had outlined to the group as they were deciding on a particular Star Wars game. This was wild for me to read; while my D&D play isn't seated in...

The behavior described in the example you provided, the subverting another players' npc? "My own perspective is that subverting the supporting cast's 'purpose' is generally considered bad form, having a PC's wife/son/battle butlet be a secret vampire all along is very much bad form..." OP is...

Ofc, that'd fall under what I feel I described; the issue is the subversion on part of the other player? If the game provides a rule set that discourages that or the table has that as an understanding, then that will occur less, or not at all. In my mind, this is an expectation of a player or...

So, I've combed through a majority of the original thread and considered this aspect specifically. I've role played in this described style before, although not in a TTRPG that has rules which mechanically promote these goals. Generally, what's happened IME with this playstyle is that if the...

I'd humbly suggest: The Secrets of Skyhorn Lighthouse (Kelsey Dionne) Winter's Daughter (Necrotic Gnome - Gavin Norman) @DarkCrisis

I like the points this article raises. I'd propose there is an additional "c" that should be aspired towards, as it contributes heavily to understanding rules for games: Consistency (within the language of your game document).

I'd like to comment, but would feel more comfortable after reading more of the original thread you listed. In the meantime, could you cite an example from play in this game, where you & players leaned heavily into this style and enjoyed? Ask mainly because on casual passover, the game...

Vegetarian elves express severe disappointment in the offerings! That said as far as food-related products, Heroes Feast was an excellent product; it fit in well for game sessions in person.

My only real quibbles would be to say that the 1st Avatar film in a Cameron list, needs to be in the Top 3 somehow, and if possible, suggest that a 3A/3B (tied for third) slot be created for this. The only reason I can advocate for this is because of audiences' reaction to it in the...

Eh, Chinese cities in most dynastic periods with arguably less development, laugh at Waterdeep's cited population; it's not egregious imo. Some of the figures for the other locales are more surprising, for me.
