What it says on the tin: what setting/story elements do you feel don't get enough love in fantasy RPGs? Personally, I think sapient non-humanoids as normal members of society is woefully underutilized. I know it's hard for beings without humanoid hands to interact with many combat and...

I backed at the $1 level. I support what they're doing, but I've found too often that I really need to let reviews come in before I commit to a product.

The setting you get when you plug in everything from 3/3.5e outside specifically published settings (Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, etc). I know it's assumed to be Greyhawk, but having read some Greyhawk stuff I feel like there are numerous details that don't fit and deserve a setting of...

Given how many settings I see that repeat the same "elf, dwarf, etc" line-up, it's a major improvement to me.

The roster of playable species and monsters have some interesting designs, so I'm going to side with CR on this one.

Uncanny Valley amount: too few to spark my imagination, too many to be light enough for me not to care too much.

It would do away with the final vestiges of people choosing origin options solely for the ASI.

Ah, thanks: I'd only ever heard about the three I mentioned.

Bronze would make more sense if it were only it, gold, and iron, the three Ages of Greek legend. You can add silver if you want to go by comic books.

Humans. Halflings. Dwarves. Gnomes. Giants. Elves. Orcs. Goblinoids. Dragons.

"Filled in": I have other systems for open creativity. One of the reasons I don't enjoy DD5e is because of how minimal many things are.

It's a hazy memory: It was after a big em-super-powering event. The PCs were being interviewed by SHIELD. One of the PCs was playing a married guy who's wife had been injured in the event. Once the PC was done with his statement, I had Coulson reach across the table to grab his hand and say...

Summon them out of a cloud of dust you fling about yourself. Grave dust.

Especially weird for me, because I just signed on today after years of not paying attention to ENWorld, and I see a thread marked with my little dot and had to wonder if I'd totally forgotten coming here recently. -------------------------------- I also have to say, I think I'm someone who...

I think you're right, and that's probably why I've grown to be dissatisfied with D&D and its ilk: the reward loop doesn't work on me (at least, not in this medium). XP and loot don't hit my reward center: dialogue and fun game moments do. So when I encounter advancement in a game I don't...

I don't want race to matter. Mostly because I like my stories to be about individuals, and when you start from the premise of individual it doesn't feel right to bow to outside restrictions like "a member of a race should be this".

Then what penalty is being tripped?

Hot new item for next Christmas season: Vulcanized LEGOs.

As far as I'm concerned if I don't need the rules then I don't need the rules. Any of them. I can write stories, and I've played games with other people without mechanics for years. I don't need the rules. I conform to them of my own free will to see what happens when I make use of them...

My feeling is that it should be left up to the player to decide how much they want to come up with ahead of time. That way each can do it their own best way. Though personally I like 'em minimal because you never know what you're going to want to change later, irregardless of whether the GM...
