I skipped a few Starfinder books, but I'm getting this one!

I was going to type in the PF2 new books announcement thread. I didn't have much time to this week and I was excited by some of the changes they're pushing forward as they remove the OGL. I wanted to see what others posted in the last few days, discuss some of the changes, etc. Instead, I see...

This is not a 2.5E. As others have mentioned, I think they're using this opportunity to do three things: Get rid of the OGL. Redo the editing and layout of the Core Rulebook which has a very bad rep. Fix some minor elements which they've often errata'd later.

I absolutely love that MCDM is diving in with the 4E influence. Not a big fan of funky dices, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. I just hope the game ends up being different enough from the current offerings on the market. I love the dozen of bubbling projects, games and zines; but so many of...

These are for the year 2022. They stop on the turn to 2023. The 2024 one will include the year 2023.

I haven't been on ENWorld for too long. I'd be open to play with anybody, especially if they have a drastically different playstyle and get me out of my comfort zone. There's many decades of experience on these forums and it'd be a treat to interact with it.

Is it sarcasm and you're leering because I didn't pick up on it? Or is it not and and you're leering because I'm thinking it could be sarcasm? My social anxiety is through the roof right now.

I'm unsure if sarcasm... 🤔

I didn't say all daily powers; I said many. But I should have said too many. Anyway, I was about to say that I remembered it varying heavily from class to class and was about to give the fighter as an example. But I had completely forgotten about the reliable keyword. I looked it up and indeed...

Knowing very little about the Forgotten Realms, would it be in bad taste to be a curious and ask what The Wall of the Faithless is?

It's not a bad idea... imagine having a core system. And you can go on a website and either through a questionnaire or a wizard check certain options to include modules depending on the type of experience you want, and you get a PDF with the mechanics and systems you chose at the end. It's no...

The actual perfect RPG is when you put all these heartbreakers together as modules to make one RPG to bring them all.

I'll hijack the thread for a moment. I've been thinking of buying something Dark Sun related for a while. I know there's some 2E stuff, 3E stuff from 3rd parties and some 4E stuff. Which Dark Sun material would you recommend?

Maybe the situation with the OGL also pushed some creators to make some changes to their product, licensing or schedules?

There's a lot of small things I would fix. Balancing fell off a bit at higher levels, the maths were off. Many Daily Powers were very powerful and were either you do something awesome or you miss completely, I would add degrees of success (which many other powers had). I would incorporate some...

I'm not gonna sign it. I agree with some of the points, notably making sure Hasbro doesn't profit from distributing a troublesome product like that. However, for reasons others have already mentioned I think it is important to keep the product available and in its current form. It's part of...

Does the promise/premise of a game and its content (rules) not fulfilling it can count as cognitive dissonance? I bought the Symbaroum books a while ago and read them from cover to cover. For anyone that knows Symbaroum, the premise is a massive forest called Davokar in which you mount...

Burning Wheel is leveless.

Oh man, I'm not sure I want to type this list. The pandemic was a tough time for me. When it comes to RPGs, I fell in a bit of a buying frenzy to feel better, and because reading them was my replacement for playing them. My list is mostly games I already owned and can't wait to get to...

It's not something I've really experienced before. Most of my experience is with 3e, 4e and 5e which aimed at balanced encounters. I like that approach, to aim for a challenging fight that the players know they can succeed at. But I also see the merit in the unbalanced approach, I've been...
