The for profit company that promoted this is Ethisphere, they are essentially a two sided business. One side provided external evaluation of a corporations legal department and C-suite operations the other half is PR/good will building for hire. Companies like Ethisphere (there are so so many)...

I won’t run or play class/level games anymore so skills are the only way for me. I feel like ~30 skills is good for most fantasy games, modern and scifi games will often need more than that but top out at around 40.

They are an under used resource pool. It also creates important player decisions at every short/long rest.

I did this using hit dice to refill spell slots and class features instead of getting everything back on a rest. Players had to decide between healing and getting their special stuff back. I liked it a lot as a GM the players were unsure lol.

Game mechanics that support and enhance the intended genre and play style, common (not universal) resolution system, realistic combat and injuries, NO: classes, levels, AC, hit points.

Pandemic over= less free time, combined with increase in consumer prices = less disposable income.

I wrote a hack to 5e a while ago to address this issue. It uses existing conditions in 5e bundled into three wound states; Bruised, Wounded, and Maimed in order to give consequences to taking damage.Part of it is the reduction of hit points to wound boxes based on the three physical stats and...

I have so many games in my collection this would be novel length if I had a go at it. Major difference between me and OP is I have never liked DnD or any of its derivatives but have enjoined nearly every other system I have played.

I really like Risus so I guess thats a minimal rule set?

Getting my kids switched over from dnd5e now, I actually prefer the longer skill list but I am old hat BRP and other skill based games. In fact until I started the 5e pandemic game I haded played a class and level game since 5th grade in 1986.

If you are looking for some actual help on the rules the BRP Central - The Chaosium forums forums is the place to go. The staff from Chaosium is on there as well as the best online forum for Chaosium and BRP based games.

Ah look how the corporate crisis comms team has effectively muddied the conversation. Money wisely spent by hasbro and wotc…

Backed it right away after I read the quickstart. I have been involved in the playtest forum and it has been fun to tinker and comment on a game inprogress.

When talking about starwars ttrpgs people over look how prolific WEG starwars was. Lucas sent novel writers the source book as reference material and it was considered cannon. It spawned 3 editions and well over 100 rule books, source books and adventures. What killed WEG SW was bad business...

The way they PR talked the response (Marisha would be a good political spokesperson) makes me think they already signed the new OGL or more likely one of WOTCs super secret special agreements and have no way to back out with out damaging their company plus 100% NDA has been signed.

Thats some slick open source intel work right there. Looks like sales numbers are booming.

Soooo… In another life I did influence planning, not bikini models and beefcake on instagram but marketeers and crisis comms folks manipulating how you the audience feel about things. I have no doubt that WOTC and HASBRO have hired a crisis comms team who have already started to run a...

Well that pretty much confirms the non numeric dice.

I very much believe this is where C3 is heading, Prof Dungeon master on YT who kind of hilariously is something of a critter just voiced this opinion in a video as well.

The beginning of campaign one was played in pathfinder so they could switch after this campaign wraps up. They have to be careful due to contracts with WOtC and ad money from DnDbeyond.
