This is where I stand as well. If you have factions, people, gods, etc as a prevalent part of the adventure there should be descriptions of what they think about a few expected endings. That being said I wouldn't mind if the author includes what outcomes they think are "good", "bad", or...

Karametra, God of Harvests, from the Theros setting. I appreciate the gods of Theros having definitive boons for their followers. Her boons are also mechanically viable for a wide selection of classes. Additionally, Karametra likes her followers to be compassionate, defend others, and she gets...

Tell them it's burnout. Whether they understand or have an opinion on the OGL situation can help them understand why you're feeling this way. But even if they don't they should understand burnout. Asking to try a new system, switching to board/video games, or some other group activity for a...

Even when I'm DMing and have a lot more things to track I still find it easier to remember every round saves compared to X duration. The benefit of interacting with it every round keeps it fresh in my mind.

I haven't played FATE so I'm not sure. The way I've done it is a large room could have multiple zones within it. My go to example is: a dining hall with an entrance on the south side, a set of stairs leading to a balcony and some rooms on the west side, a large cooking pit in the middle, and a...

40 if you go with the ranged option. 50 and 18 AC with the defender. Being ranged generally reduces the damage you take so it's a decent tradeoff. The fact that it can fly means it should be moving to areas away from you so it can draw fire and avoid aoes. Overall, a spell that offers 2d8+5...

Insect Plague and Summon Celestial can be helpful in the right situations. Insect Plague has a 300 foot range and makes a 20 foot radius difficult terrain. I like to use it as an opener to soften up the enemies or force creatures to leave an area. Summon Celestial gives you range or a second...

Cypher crits and effort. Damage is a flat number based on the weapon or ability used. If you roll a 17 on the die you deal +1 damage, 18 gives +2, 19 gives +3, and 20 gives +4. It's a nice reward for getting those higher attack rolls. The game also uses effort so you can spend some of your...

I like using a similar method. A pool of d6s that is rolled after each time interval. If all the dice are 6s the time expires. If you roll and all the dice aren't sixes you reduce the dice pool by 1 to a minimum of 1. Dice can be added or subtracted by the actions taken by the players. Actions...

Side-by-side characters - If someone wants to use a character they designed under 5e rules alongside a 1D&D character they should be able to do that. Things like AC, HP, proficiency, ability scores, spell slots, etc. should be similar or the same. Economy guidelines - Poor, Average, Rich areas...

It's such a staple of fiction. What we have so far can scratch the itch, but at this point im ready for more. A dedicated class also has the benefit of not trying to balance summon/pet subclasses against the base classes. Instead it can be built right in and accounted for. Kinda like assuming a...

A summoner or blue mage for me. Summoner becomes the ultimate pet class. The character is actually pretty weak, but the summons get powerful augmentations. Off the top of my head the summoner is a known spell caster that can learn any conjuration spell in the game. Make their turn simultaneous...

I'll have to try a 3 action mechanic game at some point. It sounds intriguing. Coriolis uses a 3 action point mechanic. It sounds similar, but I think it plays very different. Each type of action uses X number of action points and your reactions are included in those 3 points. For example: a...
