2e is solid. More straight forward than 1e in rules presentation and more options if that's what you want, but plays great with just PHB. The original 1e PHB has a cooler cover though.....and that has to count for something.

That seems like a long time to decide if you are team Law or team Chaos.

I would say 5 to 9, but that's more from expecting campaigns to end around 12 or 13. A hold over from my 1e and 2e days. Before 20th level became the end goals.

I would rather run my homebrew, but trying to get players to use roll20 without a fancy prebuilt character sheet is too much to ask.

Honestly 5e goblins if used correctly with stealth and advantage on attacks can crit fairly often making them a PIA for even mid level parties. Which I agree is a feature not a bug.

I get the idea behind it. You can make a natural 20 a auto hit but not necessarily a auto crit. Preventing the zero level peasant from critting 5% of the time.

Only took 20 years to make it into the rules.

Yeah improved owlbear stats are great. I've reskinned the stats for Thousand Teeth from Ghost of Saltmarsh as my Legendary Owlbear stand in.

I like the black and white ones alot!

I think this is important and necessary work. I think adding one condition is probably better than adding two. Otherwise we have three very similar conditions, hidden, stealthed, and invisible we need to track. Stealth is always going to be hard as it has a lot of corner cases, good luck

Huh? How can a d10 dice pool system be easier to understand than a % system? I'm fine with fun dice mechanics, but I'm pretty sure any one can tell me the odds of rolling under 30 on a d100 faster than they can calculate the odds of a dice pool.

I typically run a sandbox style game so players can choose adventures that make sense for the party. I don't change things I assume the party will adapt. If it was Shadowrun and player made a band. Well they probably wouldn't take or get offered jobs from Mr. Johnsons for standard stuff. They...

At first I was like what the heck I can knock out 2000 words at work during some boring conference call. Then I remembered I haven't played Shadowrun since the 90s and I might be a little behind on lore. I used to love Shadowrun, but we are just it diffent places right now. The game to me...

I watched the whole show, but I'm not a big trek fan so I missed a lot of the jokes. That said part of the reason I'm not a trek fan is all the time travel and multi verse junk ( and taking it all so seriously). So this show basically playing it all for laughs and pointing out how obsurd it is...

In all my fantasy games that I play (B/X and 5e) I homebrew all the items and make them a lot more powerful but a lot more rare. I don't like the idea that magic items are so plentiful and just +1 this or +1 that.

What ever they call the Free Leauge system Gurps TSR marvel super heroes Hero system Warhammer Fantasy Role-playing I'm not recommending any of the above just ones I think you missed.l off the top of my head.

We need more of those. Have Fun!

I've heard that before but have never see it? Was it ever reprinted?

Agreed. There are better ways to solve the problem that don't slow the game down. Having attacks that require book keeping or saves ever round just add to the burden of combat. Simple solutions like increasing damage dice, number of attacks, critical range, ect can solve the same problem.

Wait do people play games where they camp and don't set a watch? I assumed every DM roles for a random encounter at night and party sets a watch order. But I guess maybe this is a style that isn't used anymore? I can't overstate my surprise that this would be called out that you have to set...
