I am a big fan of Shadow of the Demon Lord's 4 stats - Strength, Agility, Intellect and Will. It has the great effect of making no stat truly a dump stat. Agility is of course used for dodging, ranged attacks, defence etc in the way that DEX is in 5e. Strength encompasses the functions of CON...

Honestly I'm surprised vin diesels not carving out a spot. Or Joe Manginello.

An actress with a solid career history, recognisable name and a $25 million net worth? Oh yeah definitely c-grade /s It's fine to have an opinion, but it's not to conflate them with facts.

Thing is, the scald of rpg companies is so small compared to other industries and I don't think some realise how much so. Many very typical companies can claim revenues more than 1000 times what WotC makes, and they're the giant. Most other companies are small businesses in scope. And as small...

Reading this thread I can see how a lot of Qonspiracies become popular. Sometimes people leave to pursue new opportunities, higher pay checks, better work life balance etc. They are people, not machines. The sky is not falling.

Whereas I thought it was a great joke.

Normally I'd agree but I feel like the free-form rulings would be hard to adjudicate and feel less cool than a bunch of bending "spells" you can learn over time. But that's IMO

I love pbta, but I'm not sure it is the right system for this. Strangely enough, I feel like d&d 5e would work well for this. You could have classes to represent the bending styles (and some for mundane characters) and use a resource style spell system to determine what effects you can create...

DW is the one of the worst PbtA games out there. It's a shame. A real opportunity to create a 2nd edition or another fantasy PbtA that's better designed. Those games depend a lot on the GMs creative thinking and improvisation. It can work but it's tiring to GM in my experience. I'm also not...

Glad to hear you're getting something out of it!

I don't understand why this is being made so complicated. Roll20 even has custom options on the character sheet for 5e that'll do it for you automatically. I love making players roll. I like fast combats and so my turns as dm will often be somethig like: "The 3 goblins with scimitars rush over...

It's a good riddle. The extra clues are great to have in the pocket if the players are stumped. Well done.

I know it's not D&D per se, but I'd love a Dragonlance series with raistlin and the crew. The problem with D&D is that it has always kept a level of "genericness" to it to facilitate players putting their own characters and stories together. It'll either have to create characters from scratch...

I would remove #2 as others suggest. For #1, I'd be tempted to put in an extra whips do "1d6 damage" as well as a "you are proficient with whips if you are not already" which makes it more tempting for builds other than just rogue. I think it provides just the right amount of temptation to...

Are we going for realism or fantasy emulation? The goalposts have changed quite a few times in this thread.

Happy Nat20! I've been a lurker for soemtime before joining up, but I've always found the plce a great community for sharing ideas and indulging in game related conversations. Thanks for all your efforts Morrus!

I'll third into the unknown. It captures the red box flavour with streamlined 5e rules. Imo, the best combination.

I wouldn't call dune a particularly curnchy sci fi, so a more narrative style fits the theme. It definately needs rules on how to provoke your guests into a fit of rage at a dinner party though.

I agree. I would actually prefer intelligent humanoids to be 8n their own section with customisation rules (like giving them feats or individual special abilities). I like the idea of having an orc that the players don't know can rage, or smite, or something else until they do it. Helps make...

My preference would be to implement something like your edited OP rather than racial ASIs.
