Look at you, Daddy Warbucks! Can I join your game?

The digression into 4e reminded me of something else Matt said on the stream. He wants this new game to be homebrewable. He called out 4e as being very difficult to homebrew, because classes were so complex and there were 30 levels of each one. Coming up with your own class was a huge effort...

My wife would like to have a word with you about my massive dice collection.

I listened to the entire Q&A today as I was watching football and cleaning. Some takeaways: * They expect a playtest packet this month for Patreon supporters. * I love Matt's honesty. At one point he said if that if money was tight for you with the holidays coming up, don't feel like you have...

For whatever my opinion is worth, I really like that ability score increases have (mostly) been moved to backgrounds. Saying my character is strong because he's a soldier or laborer makes more sense than saying he's strong because he's a dwarf. It's less politically touchy, but it also seems...

No, although she wasn't a nobody either. She had the highest-rated adventure of all time on DMs Guild and a solid cult following for her adventure writing. But more importantly, Shadowdark benefited from a wave of great reviews and buzz. Backers steadily came on board as they encountered rave...

Some perspective on the fundraising success of this game: it's now raised right at double what Shadowdark took in over its entire Kickstarter. I thought Shadowdark was a pretty stunning success, so doubling that amount in less than three days is impressive.

That first picture makes my fists curl in rage. So much about it is wrong, starting with the fact that it's blatantly and awkwardly been altered. I wonder what the actual 6th company was in the original meme? It sure wasn't TSR, even before we get to the ridiculous picture of that house. The...

Good lord. At this rate, Colville is gonna buy Twitter.

The Sinister Secret of Crow's Feet seems perfect for Olay testing. (I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist)

Considering they have classes and kits and you can mix and match them, multiclassing seems superfluous. I'm fine with this.

5e is probably my sweet spot. Enough crunch that the way you build your character matters, but combat doesn't feel like doing your taxes. Anything more crunchy doesn't really appeal to me. I've never given Pathfinder 2e a try for that reason. It looks like a good game, but I have no interest...

"Mr. Nilsson, what typeface would you like to use for the book?" "YESSSSSSSSSS!"

This, but I don't think Matt even meant to suggest that dungeons would be de-emphasized. Pretty sure he just meant dungeon crawls would be not the point of his game, which is different. A recent video he did distinguishes the point: he said that 4e was great for fun combats, but terrible for...

Oh, yeah. Now that you mention it, the dudes inside the car are not really in proportion to the guy outside the car. Whoops. Still pretty epic, though.

Wow, that art! That third piece in particular is just stunning.

Agree! These are my words rather than Matt's, but I feel like the elevator pitch of this game is, "4e except completely unencumbered by the expectations associated with Dungeons and Dragons." That is a very exciting concept for those of us who dug 4th Edition and don't have anything to scratch...

With respect, I think you misunderstood. It's not that there are no dungeons and no exploration -- it's safe to assume will be gobs of both. It's just that it isn't a dungeons/exploration game in the same sense that 1e was, or Shadowdark is. Shadowdark makes a point of prohibiting darkvision and...

To all the people who said, "4th Edition isn't even really D&D," Matt Colville says, "I'll show you 4e that isn't D&D, baby."

Thank God no one is auctioning off Gary Gygax's actual appendix.
