Can we get past this? Please? The topic is subjective. Of course it's their opinion. We shouldn't have to preface every opinion with the words "in my opinion." Sniping at people for using declarative language accomplishes nothing.

I was given my first D&D books, (AD&D 2E), so my first purchase, if I remember correctly was the Monstrous Compendium Ravenloft Appendix II. Mostly (or completely, it's been a while) unique monsters, and I don't think I ever used any of them in game, but back then I bought products as much for...

This, like many topics of this nature, seems like the kind of thing that should be addressed before the first session. It's not like most games have actual mechanics for dismemberment, so it's something the GM should have in mind as a possibility before they even get started, and that shouldn't...

It's been a while since I've really done a lot of crowdfunding (outside a few select Patreons), but as I recall, there's kind of a phenomenon where asking too much makes you less likely to hit your base goal, while starting smaller and then building up through stretch goals makes it more likely...

Hmm.. To keep things from slowing down at the table, rather than make it an automatic feature and one that applies all the time, why not make it a feature of a defense oriented feat(or class feature, depending on where A5E takes things), and make it more powerful, but applied situationally...

The first album I ever personally purchased was a tape cassette for Counterparts, by Rush.

True. Even used car salesmen are no longer considered inherently evil these days.

Personally, I'd expand on how AD&D 2E did weapon proficiencies. You get a number of proficiencies for specific weapons based on class with martial classes gaining more as a class feature at intervals of leveling. Then I'd create weapon groupings for weapons similar enough that being trained in...

I'm kind of fond of the Pactverse (setting for a pair of modern fantasy web serials, Pact and Pale) interpretation of fey. Basically, their lifeblood is novelty, but being functionally immortal, they have to engage in wildly elaborate plots and fictions in order to find it, taking on different...

Having read the LNs, I'd say that the edgy grimdark elements are kind of mostly just setup to justify the real draw of the story: a lead character who is essentially an old school adventurer who views a fair (or even direct) fight as a fail state and instead does everything he can to stack the...

I can get on board with that. I'm not sure how best to approach it in a way that meshes with D&D(or at least WotC era D&D) though. Racial levels have been a thing, but I wouldn't say they've been a thing that's been done particularly well. You could make racial abilities part of class...

Just to clarify, I was joking in that last response. My post was referring to Greg Abbott, the current governor of the great plaguelands of Texas. In retrospect, I'm wondering if we should just ban all Abbotts to be safe.

The very same (oops at misspelling Abbott, the governor of Texas).

My ex-wife was asking if I would plan a trip to take my daughter to visit family back in the US (I currently live in Japan). I honestly wish I could, since it would allow me to visit some dear friends and maybe even get some D&D time in, but especially since my family is in Texas... absolutely...

I use a Bucket Boss parts bag. It's sturdy and lets me keep my dice types separated.

Personally, I'm not a fan of just dropping new subraces as a "solution" to problems that people have with existing lore. If they drop the new subraces near areas already in heavy use, publishing-wise, then it's going to contradict past products(yeah, I know WotC's recent stance on canon; not a...

Ah, you'll be wanting TV Tropes for that.

I'm not familiar with X-Wing's rules, but as I understand it, it's quite deadly for the pilots. While this is pretty much in keeping with the (previously) EU literature, it might be a bit troublesome for an ongoing RPG. Of course, you could make that a feature rather than a flaw, creating a...
