This is what made me not vote Alchemist or Psion. While I'd be extremely excited for either, if the Alchemist potion system (or psionic abilities) were mechanically identical to the way spells work for everyone else... well, at that point I'd rather just reflavor wizard. I voted Necromancer in...

I will admit, I was pretty hyped when I saw that as an option. Even though it's not really what I'm looking for, it's a step in that direction—although my excitement tempered as I realized how limited this feature really is. I wish there was an option to "age up" the pet basilisk, make it...

If it were possible for Shadowdark to have a class that's focused around a minion—whether that be a martial "beast master" or a spellcaster "summoner"—I'm always interested in seeing how systems can handle that archetype. Pet masters and puppet masters are some of my favorite concepts, and while...

I don't play A5e for simple or fast... It's definitely simpler for other games, but one of the results of making a game crunchier is, almost inevitably, slower play speed. Unless you are playing with really focused, really efficient individuals who have their characters (and the overall rules)...

... Why not have both an animal companion archetype and a heroic companion?... Has not actually read the Heroic Companions rules, does not know if this is RAW/RAI.

Yes. It’s called the Plotweaver system, they promised an OGL for it, nothing so far on if any existing OGL options will be used or if, like the game system, the OGL will be customizable.

Mild Warbreaker spoilers. It's canon that metal can be Awakened, and when awakened it becomes a self-aware entity with a unique personality. This means, theoretically, you could have a suit of Awakened armor. If that armor can move autonomously, that means you could absolutely have it as a...

If I ended up liking this system to follow it outside of the Cosmere web, and if it expanded outside the Cosmere, I would be disappointed if everything was licensed IP. That would mean I most likely would never get to make content directly for one of the games—shaving off identification numbers...

I'm quite excited, too—although I am most thrilled for the (probably years down the line) Warbreaker installment.

@Parmandur, you're really becoming the prophet of this campaign here on Enworld.

For anyone who cares, Brotherwise has named this system the "Plotweaver" system. There is no suggestion at this time of any plans to use this system outside the Cosmere, but they are producing an OGL for the Plotweaver system (NOT including anything Cosmere), so they are at least laying the...

Really goes to show the power of an existing audience when Kickstarting anything. Sure, some people are able to build an audience in Kickstarter, but my understanding is that's the exception rather than the rule...

Did not know Avatar Legends used Powered by the Apocalypse. That's how far out of that community I am. Oh! I actually have Call to Adventure, all three versions—classic "DnD-esque," Stormlight, and Name of the Wind. I had forgotten about those. Interesting. Well, I absolutely agree with you...

As far as I am aware, he (and his team at Dragonsteel) are among the best at being chill with non-commercial fan content. But I am also not in the community churning out fan content for the books, so I only have vision from the periphery.

Oh yeah, I agree. But it's not mutually exclusive to fully understand that and think, "It would be nice if they figured out a way to make this an option, at least without requiring me to file the serial numbers off." "It would be nice"s generally don't happen, though, and aren't worth getting...

Well, that's what I get for missing the livestream. I quite like skill-based magic, so I am very onboard with this.

Where I stand: I'm going to homebrew/create content no matter what system I play in. I really enjoy being able to make content that I can then sell (done a little of that with A5e), but it's not a deal-breaker for me—I've also made quite a few things that I just share freely, although that stuff...

Kickstarter Day 3 comment by Matt M, made August 8th, snippet below: (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/the-stormlight-archive-rpg/comments) TLDR: Brotherwise Games is calling the underlying game system of the Cosmere RPG the "Plotweaver™ System". Brotherwise and Dragonsteel...
