I had no idea that this was the thread I needed to read today until -- boom -- there I was, learning. Great work, all of you!

Perhaps, as that is coming, but I think it was aimed at balancing characters coming from DL, who already get it.

It's not Sci-Fi, it's Space Fantasy. They are PDFs, not books (though you can choose to print them). They are all located at the link provided. It's a completely fan-made game system (5 books!), closely following the outlines of Star Wars: Saga Ed. It is extremely popular.

The most obvious choice you left out. Leave trade-mark and licensing fights to Disney and WotC, ok? The correct answer is Star Wars 5e. It's even implemented rather slickly on Foundry VTT, too.

Oh don't go too far with that. They just might be. It's not like we haven't gone down that road before in the interest of versatility and customizability demanded by D&D. NWN1 was based on swapped out geometry. It causes constraints when animated so that is something no game does anymore. But...

I hate to break it to you, but yes, a textured, shader specified, 3d model is significantly more expensive than a 2d image. It takes more technical skill to do a kick-ass original texture -- while still requiring a bevy of pure artistic talent, too. This is why developers move to asset...

Let me see if this will work. I made some battle maps today for The Dark Duchess. Looking to see if I can upload them here for use by others. These maps are at 150dpi, intended for Foundry VTT but may be downscaled to 72 DPI by Roll 20 DMs. Obviously, the maps are dark. That is deliberate as...

I expect so as well. Meanwhile, WotC was finishing up its design on Shadow of the Dragon Queen where the main NPC in the first few chapters of SotDQ, Becklin, is a female Knight of the Crown before the War of the Lance has even spread to Solamnia. It's an inconsistency between the rules...

Well, sure, and that is true looking at the book above on the left; no argument. The one on the right which is pretty much Soth's Helm and that's it? No. That branding doesn't match current trade dress. That's a deliberate choice to be it's own thing.

I find it interesting that WotC decided that they needed to break with the past, so much so that they chose not to use a very familiar trademark (the DragonLance logo) on this product on any of the multiple covers. Their motives are debatable (and unless someone from WotC in the years to come...

We have seen books of tables to create adventure seeds or NPC quirks be immensely popular among home brewers, especially the Iron DM types who prefer spontaneous, ad lib play. The sort of details that current AI throws out after drilling down just a bit may not be terribly original, but how...

Just Cali Wi-Fi (which was on Wi-Fi throughout and didn't change). What was okay initially with 5 people in the Skype call tipped over the edge when the 6th from Penticton B.C. (on a hard line) was added. If we had been on Zoom it may well have been fine, but we were on Skype at the time. shrug...

Regarding Heroic Maps best Patreon map series to date, I thought it was Goblin Stair Cavern. IF you can't make a solid adventure using those maps? You need to go play a CCG or boardgame - because you plainly suck as a DM! The first level entrance and battle on the bridge and gates to get in to...

Not anymore, no. We've been doing exclusively online for quite a while - and it predates our use of Foundry by ~8 years. Our group's "hard line" rule was because of Skype video and we instituted it around ~2012? We've stuck with it ever since. When one of our group had his desktop go down or is...

I know what the previous novels said, I know what the previous rules said. This is not my first DragonLance rodeo, ok? I also know what Dragons of Deceit, published in August, 2022 said. And in the novel, Destina laments that she cannot be a Knight of Solamnia, as women can't become one. That...

This the VTTA importer, right? I have that as well and yes, it is useful. I confess I typically use DDB Importer, but for stat blocks on the fly -- the VVTA importer was always useful. I supported him for a time on Patreon, but as I recall, he stopped development earlier this year (March or...
