But at the end we know how the cheerleader save the world! Which is a good loopback to the first season.

It is based on the operating system. If they rely on a Unix-Linux system they are almost immortal. If the rely on Windows, macOS or more modern system, they have a programmed doomsday.

I predict a renewal of character concept like the Gnome paladin Orc wizard Tiefling and dwarf monk Elf fighter champion Asimar rogue assassin

Being tuned with the rest of the players is mandatory in most RPG. That tuning and agreement on a play style and tone is often taken for granted. It’s important to validate what we are looking for, and what others are looking for.

Maybe that style of play is just a counterweight? For those having a real life with full of choices and a great secure environment, It may be appealing to play a random underdog character that can die quickly.

Older methods assign score at random. Choosing class was then made after obviously.

For what I see, old material and preps can be used as is. A 2014 monster can be used without problems, maybe it will feel weaker, but they already feel weak most of the time. Most Players will be glad to upgrade their characters, if not creating new ones, with the new rules. In the rare rare...

1 and 2ed were in the path of survival. Everyone was newbie at the time, and almost all DM stick to the lethality of the game. All alignement, all classes were oriented around survival. Playing Lawful good, resulting quickly into Lawful dum dead, there was finally one alignment « pragmatic...

1 and 2ed. Be smart or die! 3.5 and 4ed. Be tactical to beat the game. 5ed. Be yourself and have fun.

Still thinking! I follow ShadowDark for a while even if I didn’t play yet. In some way it fit New School. Rather to propose dozens of options and big balanced scores, ShadowDark go back to 3D6 and minimalistic character sheet. But it did work to make character feel special. SD force always on...

School for me intent a common share of knowledge and usage. That make a common reference we can talk about. So for DnD I would say that the Common reference these days is Critical role. It’s an observation, I’m not a fan of the show! It match the OP list and my understanding. characters that...

One of the thousands lies from DnD and other RPG games!

To go back to the OP I ask: why drinking a potion should influence sugar ratio in blood? It’s not a digestive process that make the drinker turn invisible or polymorph into a dragon. Same thing with oil, herbs, dust. It’s not a matter of physic, biology, physiology, or chemistry that explain...

For your own fun you can make a search on google with « list of marvel hero with disabilities » and get a long list of characters. If we made a list including all type of fantasy and sci-fi and all type of physical and mental disabilities we would have a very very long list.

DnD don’t let space for such conditions because there are easy removal available. DM need to cooperate and make such condition a part of his game. It remind me of Elric of melnibone who was sick and need drugs to survive before he find stormbringer. Having a sick hero is common in fanstasy, but...

For sure nothing heavy for 5ed, it is the creator of the « Casual school » style of play.

It don’t take a big hammer to give a minimum taste of OS to 5ed. Roll scores. That’s official. If rolled score is not enough use 3d6 instead! Roll hit points after level 1. That is official too. Even CR do it. No Feat, no MC. Also official. Use PHB only for PCs. Quite official. The building...

I think that 5ed can be more lethal, but DM just want more precise CR and Xp budget rules instead. OS say don’t bother with encounter balance and even balance between PCs, while 5ed fan just ask more balance. It’s the same problem with creative solution. if DMs constantly ask rolls and features...

I recently find a pdf detailing Old school style. Principia apocrypha. Principia-Apocrypha-SC-20.pdf « The more of the following a campaign has, the more old school it is: high lethality, an open world, a lack of pre- written plot, an emphasis on creative problem solving, an...

Fireball, fly, invisibility. 3rd level of spell is enough for me.
