    D&D General Kender PC, Yes or No?

    After I buy WotC from Hasbro I'm gonna make Kender the default race. Not "A" default race, "THE" default race. All other races will be featured in later books including human. Also by default, Half-Elves and Half-Orcs are Half Elf/Half Kender and Half Orc/Half Kender respectively.

    WotC Who should own Wizards of the Coast if/when it is sold?

    I would say, IF WotC were for sale, and IF they could afford it? I could see Paizo and FFG going in together and splitting it. Paizo takes the D&D properties so they can get things that never entered the OGL: Mindflayers, Beholders, the "Underdark", etc. FFG Takes MtG and, as like as not...

    WotC Who should own Wizards of the Coast if/when it is sold?

    Objectively FUNNIEST possible result? Paizo. D&D 6 as a hybrid of 5e and PF2 Next best? Green Ronin takes it over and switches D&D to the AGE system. Asmodee? FFG?

    Pathfinder 2E RE: Magus and Summoner Playtest, how much do you use your lower level spells?

    I'm trying to figure out exactly how much of a limitation the spell slots for Magus and Summoner are in the PF2 playtest. When you play a caster in PF2, what percentage of your lower level spells go unused, particularly at higher level, say 15+? Basically anything below your top two spell...

    Where's the American Fantasy RPG?

    I dunno, Mutant's & Masterminds keeps reviving, and I liked it pretty well. TC: Aberrant did $125K on kickstarter which isn't HUGE but it's no small potatoes.

    Where's the American Fantasy RPG?

    The biggest reason in my mind is that the 1939 Film softened, shortened, and in general watered down the Story of the Wizard of Oz. It made it more acceptable and accessible for a larger audience. And since almost EVERYONE is exposed to OZ first via that movie, all the other adaptations of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Last Chance for Idle Q4 Product Speculation

    I'm more of a news pundit than a scientist, so I'm allowed to pick only the data points that support my desired outcome. This is also allowed if your a psychology researcher.

    Level Up (A5E) Do Player Characters Have Average Population Stat Distributions?

    Certainly PCs should be exceptional, unless the point of a specific campaign is to play non-exceptional characters but that's a specific choice. I think the average member of a species should have 10/10/10/11/11/11 stat array modded by species/culture stats. I have no problem with the idea of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Last Chance for Idle Q4 Product Speculation

    Given that the Semi-player options books tend to be associated with an existing legacy NPC (Mordenkanen, Xanathar, Volo) and given that several of the UA subclass previews have been undead themed (College of Spirits, Phantom Rogue, Undead Patron Warlock), AND given the release of the ultra-fancy...

    Level Up (A5E) End the 5 minute work-day by making all classes work off short rests.

    Momentum is a pretty good idea. That way, even if you DO spend more resources in an encounter than you should, you have incentive to keep going. I personally don't mind the "5 minute work day", to me it seems like playing the game as it's designed, BUT I like the idea of having a Positive...

    Level Up (A5E) Where to put ability bonuses during character creation

    I personally lean towards the idea that Culture should have MORE effect that Species. So I favor the idea that Culture should provide a +2 to a specific stat, and Species a +1. I also feel like Culture and Background should be a merged thing.

    Level Up (A5E) What would you *call* an Advanced 5E?

    Alternately, go full left field. Steve That's it, just name it Steve Steve - "An advanced extra crunchy version of D&D 5e" "Yeah, I'm running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, but I've modified it to run it using Steve"

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    I'm not even asking for CLOSE to realistic, I'm just asking for "Not Profoundly Stupid" Crafting cost = 35% of Market Price Sell goods, make a roll, Fail = Cannot sell or sell near crafting cost, success = sell @ 70-85% of market, Overwhelming success = sell @ 100+% of market. I'm not...

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    Seriously though, when I see a game with an economic system that says "It costs 50% of the market value of an item to make that item, you can only sell items for 50% of their market value, any particularly valuable magic item is un-sellable because nobody wants it or can afford it" I just...

    Level Up (A5E) What would you *call* an Advanced 5E?

    Labyrinths & Draco-Liches 5 (On the assumption that a Labyrinth is an Advanced Dungeon, and a Draco-Lich is an Advanced Dragon)

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    Seconding Psionics which are distinct from magic. Also seconding having all classes pick up their Subclass at 1st. A coherent and at least semi-realistic economic system, including a magic item crafting system which allows for custom items. Spell research to allow creation of new spells...

    Pathfinder 2E Adapting Eberron for PF2?

    It's a shame WotC owns Eberron, because I think it would work really well with PF2 mechanics. Heritages and Ancestry feats are the PERFECT system for Dragonmarks. Honestly I think it would work better than the 3.5 original for that. So many Organizations that would work well for Archetypes...

    WotC What anime franchises could be adapted into D&D?

    Record of Lodoss War, Slayers, and Rune Soldier Louie are all either Ur-examples or potentially excluded form being reverse examples. All three are based on the various authors D&D campaigns.
