Hopefully, his playtesters can nudge him to sorting out the martial/caster gap. He seems familiar enough with Pathfinder as well as 4e and it's descendants to have some models on how to do that. Although at this point, if he can manage to get closer to reducing the gap than 5e does, it is...

I can't fault him for charging for an Alpha. For a creator in his position, I imagine it was one of those things that if he didn't do it that way, it would simply never get made. If it was a Matt Colville type or an established gaming company there would be issues with that. He has a lot of...

It is a shame that the unified subclass progression didn't make it through playtesting, because Arcane Archer seems like a concept that would fit nicely within the Fighter, Ranger, Rogue and Wizard as well. It is too much for a feat, but not enough for a class of its own. Having subclasses that...

My thought was that an Arcane Archer would get access to a list of Arcane bonus spells that could be delivered via arrow. And perhaps they could be traded out for other Wizard spells of certain schools on level up like some of the Tash sorcerer classes. Since the Ranger is a half-caster I am not...

I posted the pretty much the same question a bit earlier today. I tried watching some of the Dungeon Coach's videos but found his presentation style way too Millennial Influencer (TM) to sit through, but the way that Treantmonk describes his system it seemed like a savvy, but possibly...

Some part of me thinks that if it were a Ranger subclass instead that might be one part of solving the Ranger's identity issues.

Although I had seen a lot of the announcements of new D20 based dungeon fantasy games coming out after the OGL debacle earlier this year, I somehow missed this one about YouTube creator The Dungeon Coach's system until Treantmonk reviewed it's Alpha version this week. Trenatmonk: It looks...

If you are ever in the mood to revisit an old Bond film and want something a bit different from rockets on skis type Bond, you might give From Russia To Love another go. It really feels more like late-50s Hitchcock than James Bond. Even the first Eon film, Dr No, was closer to where they ended...

I don't know if people even think of it as a sequel anymore, but From Russia With Love is a step up from Dr No in the Eon's 007 franchise.

It is not going to happen, but bring back the Brute.

Either Blake's 7 or The Sandbaggers by Ron Edwards.

Some on the D&D beyond team are probably chomping at the bit to add a Bastion builder/minigame that would let players wile away the hours building and decorating their virtual bastion online with paid DLC. There is no need to have anything as involved as the last UA to make that happen though...

Does anyone know sensitivity readers/DEI consultants who are also knowledgeable about the TTRPG scene. Ideally, someone like that might\ be better than hiring someone that has little historical context for the tropes and know how other products ran into the same issues and how they corrected for...

There is a glut of people on freelance platforms like Fiverr who are doing proofreading/editing for the lowest bid but decided to add "sensitivity reader" to their services description. Be warned, usually the best case scenario is that they have taken a couple of workshops on the topic and have...

I don't see WOTC doing a setting search in 2023. There is too much opportunity for things to blow up in WOTC's face on social media for all sorts of reasons. What if someone's superdetailed and lovingly crafted non-Western culture submission wins... but they turn out to be a 60 year old white...

My normie friends who were going to most of the big Marvel movies five years ago seem to find no joy in the current crop of superhero movies or even the concept. Most of them who liked Guardians of the Galaxy seemed to be OK with that, but nothing on the horizon seems to excite them except for...

I lambasted the implementation and not the concept and included specific advice in each text field on how to make a system that would work for me. Of course, if they just look at all the "Highly Unsatisfied" ratings I and others gave and then conclude "Well, that didn't spark joy. Bin it!" that...

I just finished it. I ended up trashing the bastion system but was fairly positive on most of the cantrip changes though I had a lot of quibbles. I was happy this survey ran about an hour for me this time. Three to four hour surveys that I am not getting paid for are simply too much.

To be fair, tv worked fine for decades without "showrunners" or even "head writers," The auteur status on the Marvel movies tend to be the directors, not the writers, so I could see why they might have gone the way they did with their Disney+ shows. Given the issues I've had with the D+ Marvel...

Just anonymous comment or two on articles about this particular situation. I don't see anyone taking up the cause on Xitter so that probably means that WOTC is safe for at least give years. I did see some criticism years ago about the the inclusion of the Egyptian pantheon being culturally...
