Largely the same. Its just hard for me to see "Does a Discord rather than a forum" being a particular disadvantage from the point of view of the publisher when its what the vast majority of game companies are doing.

I'd say "familiarity" but as you like. If you don't think that's not always a big factor, I don't know what to tell you.

And I simply disagree. If that was true, then the experience would be similar with the same group in different games, and that couldn't be farther from my experience.

Not when people are literally talking about houseruling the topic at hand. Then it might as well be, at least, rules from a different D20 game.

I think in a lot of campaigns its true that tall advancement can be overly attractive in Hero, however, especially since advancement costs in each area are linear. That's why there usually are secondary capping mechanics.

You should see it regularly in any square room, but I guess in a lot of cases its not extremely relevant.

Because a lot of them already use Discords for other things where they've likely never even looked at a forum. Forums have been fading for some years now; Discords have been propagating. One doesn't have to like that (I think Discords only work well with a fairly small number of users, and not...

Its not intended to be charitable.

Then any discussion of rules is largely futile because people aren't even assuming the same rules.

In which case, you might as well be comparing D&D, Runequest, Fantasy Hero and Dungeon World for all the cross-utility you're liable to find. If you're under the impression only D&D GMs make house rules, or that only it has had several editions, let me disabuse you.

I maintain it still does if it modifies the rule area being talked about it enough. If the response to a discussion of Rules Topic A is to say you've houseruled it in a way to make the problem area not a problem (which may involve houseruling in other areas) that may be vaguely useful in a "how...

Eh. I suspect for most people these days, Discords are more accessible than fora.

This is one of the things that can make reading old SF novels (as in, ones written in the 50's and 60's) difficult; the growth in information gathering and communications technology makes some serious dissonance in dealing with their plots sometimes..

I kind of agree with Reynard. King should know better than to expect a superhero movie to show realistic impact of violence. Its very much a genre which bends over backwards usually not to do that (ignoring deconstructions and the odd case of Invincible). On the other hand I kind of agree...

Besides progressive costs, there's always having caps (which can occasionally raise if you want). Its a common solution for point build games that want to keep costs linear for simplicity. As long as you don't set the gaps between the cap and what you can practically start at without otherwise...

No, its to suggest its irrelevant, because there's no common ground that can be derived that way. You might as well be talking about a different game.

You could make it work, but it'd probably be quirky.

There's always been an argument for offset squares, but I think its always been just a little too odd for any game system to embrace, and these days good luck getting a VTT to work with it properly.

I do too, but they're not wrong. Most games don't even bother with forum activity any more. Its Discords and maybe a reddit.

Which shouldn't be a thing, IMO. Well, local government moving targets, especially on anything that takes a while are a whole different problem.
