Assuming this should have /sarcasm tag?

Which is kinda funny, since Rebel Moon the movie is already pretty much Star Wars with the IP stripped off. So a new game would be a knock off of a knock off.

You’ll note I put “strategic“ in quotes. It’s not even quite as strategic as tic-tac-toe, where, if both players understand the game, will always end in a draw. I’m not opposed to some gamey elements in my RPGs, but they should have a purpose and still have something to do with the narrative...

I’m in agreement with @Yora. It’s also extremely gamist: regardless of who goes first, once the half value of one side is known (which can be figured out even if a player chooses to roll), the opposing player knows if they can automatically beat that half value with their own, or must roll to...

I think lumping everything labeled “AI“ under the same umbrella is going to be problematic. A tool for filling in blank spaces where something was selected and deleted is not the same as generating an entire image in the style of a particular artist. The ai training for the type of tools in the...

Bladeward is weaker than Shield. Shield is a static +5 against all attacks, where Disadvantage is only equivalent to a -5 penalty when the opponent has a 50% chance to hit. Higher chances to hit actually lessen the effect of Disadvantage. Also, Bladeward doesn’t stop magic missiles. As for the...

I think the biggest advantage ranged attackers have in the current edition is when firing into melee. Sure, per the PHB, there might be cover penalties applied, but compare to shooting at a relatively stationary enemy using a flipped table for cover, also fairly stationary (typically). In...

This combined with the terrible communication for the D&D TV channel (how many on here knew it was already launched a couple of weeks ago?), whoever is handling marketing for the D&D brand should be sweating a bit about their job.

GOO?

Glad to see a KS for Death in Space. That’s a cool game and setting with the same type of permissive license as Mork Borg for third party content creators. While MB has literally well over a thousand pieces of 3PP content in just a few short years, DiS really hasn’t had nearly the same level of...

Counterpoint: the rainbow exploding skull on the Ash effects page. Also, regarding Mork Borg, I've successfully run a campaign for the past year, though with only one Misery to go, the End is nigh. Unlike modern D&D, the key is focusing on the ongoing story (and immediate adventures) rather...

But you won't necessarily have the powers/spells that reflect those draconic patrons the way a Draconic Sorcerer does its lineage (or would, if they gave them some bonus spells known!) I mean, there's tons you can do narratively for all kinds of class backgrounds/power sources in D&D. But I...

I'm not 100% sure you're allowed to make a third attack using the Bonus Action in addition to the extra attack that's part of the Nick property. It just intended to free up your bonus action up for something else (like the Rogue's plethora of non-attack Bonus actions, which is what the designers...

Not sure of the relevancy there... Do you mean a real-world martial artist? Because, again, not that relevant to a fantasy game. And the whole "monk" trope also includes being trained in weapons bigger than a dagger. Lots of attacks means slowing the game down, especially if you're keeping...

I think the point of this one is an ally within the given range at your destination. So you’re using this ability to go to the ally to heal them, not heal them as you misty step away. Changes the strategy a bit. Your other comments though, pretty much read like “don’t use thunder wave when...

Well, I know I'm certainly hoping the Kensei (from XGtE) gets an update.

I think part of the issue is they wanted to simplify the Monk weapon choices. Instead of a "simple weapons plus one specific martial weapon", they went with just "simple weapons". Then fiddled with where to put the short sword. Adding the short sword back doesn't fix much, other than giving...

Except, it still works that way. Just not as often.

What is "Power of Designer's Pet Nerd"?

This... sounds familiar.
