but they are pulling their weight, the others have the same limitation. that’s unfortunate, I would not have quoted it if it hadn’t made sense. Usually I go with the first search entry, which for this would be some dictionary definition, but since there now is an AI entry above it, I went with...

arguably 5e already does that, either that, or it gets undermined at the table. All the spells that let you bypass it by allowing rest / food anywhere do not help that system at all

you can just skip over entire weeks in that case, the guideline is for the actual adventure part

yeah, at a minimum I would add Luck and Doom for metacurrencies. That is probably enough though.

If you are being dropped points for it, are you still wanting to do the right thing? Doing the right thing when there are no negative consequences is easy. You asked how DS promotes heroic play, ChatGPT says 'Someone is considered heroic due to acts of bravery, selflessness, and determination...

the knowledge that you are doing the right thing yes, I would. In the real world I may not be less or more powerful based on what I choose, but I can face bigger risk and be persecuted more directly for them. Yet plenty of people stand for what is right, despite the cost As the saying goes...

who cares how many books were sold overall (BX to 4e) when the comparison is between PF1 and 4e I don’t think PF1 is not D&D (3e) to begin with, making this comparison meaningless

you have no way of knowing that. Sales figures are hard enough already, to the point where I doubt we can know for sure, but yours is an order of magnitude harder, with no data whatsoever…

nothing, but if you need external punishment for your deeds to stay on the good path, how good of a person are you to begin with… There is nothing preventing the characters to play the heroes rather than some shady scum lusting for power

2014 then. Lol, I should never mention this, when I say Pathfinder outsold 4e, people object, when I say 4e sold best or close to that (hedging already…) people also object. Can’t win with this one it seems ;)

that I agree with

when it comes to branching off your own OS vs TTRPG I agree, the barriers of entry are lower (as I mentioned before). Apart from that, the world is your oyster, decide what you are interested in and go from there. No one is forcing you to work on a Windows app, just like no one forces you to...

and despite the sales slump, D&D was still the best selling TTRPG, or very close to it

sure, but how is that relevant for the software developer vs game designer discussion? Both can work on an app for any system / supplement for any game or on an existing or new OS / TTRPG

I agree with this, but the comparison was never between D&D and Windows, but between software developer and game designer. The SRD makes D&D Linux-like, the network externalities and market position make it the Windows of the TTRPG space. At least there is no abuse of monopoly power, unlike MS

I don’t even think it is the best at that, it is too complex for that. It is the one with the largest brand recognition and ‘marketing budget’ (I include books, movies, CR, Stranger Things, etc. in this) however. This is what makes it attract the most new players, not the ruleset

nor is a piece of art being rewritten, a new piece is being created.

yeah, I guess they attempted to seal him first, but Rajaat always could break down the barrier until Borys ascended, which allowed him to keep it up, provided he can keep up with the maintenance As to 4e, never read that, and I would personally ignore it for the 5e reboot. Heck, I would ignore...

not sure there is any ire here in the first place WotC will be releasing whatever they want to. No one is pressuring them. You can take it or leave it, but complaining that they do not keep it the same seems to be more you wanting it your way, I am not aware that anyone said WotC must change...

yes, they are not identical, but both can choose what to work on and there are risks and potential rewards whichever way you choose. The business is much bigger on the software side, that is the main difference Minecraft was one person in Java, they sold their company for $2.5B. Torvalds wrote...
