That may be something you desire as a home owner, but maintaining your property values is not the job of your neighbor (as long as they don't commit vandalism or such). Also, someone who would object to lack of conformity is not someone you want as a neighbor anyway. See, I'm approaching this...

I can see the point in regulating safety issues and truly objectionable decorations (e.g. swastikas). But you seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of your neighbors' homes. Their purpose is not to maintain or increase the amount of monopoly money you one day will be able to exchange your home...

MCDM has been around for quite a while, having started with doing material for 5e in areas where Matt Colville felt were underserved (strongholds, warfare, good monsters, evil paladins, pet classes, psionics). They also ran a magazine for a few years before deciding it was more of a distraction...

Yeah but those things are all BS. OK, max height on fences I can buy, there can be legitimate safety concerns about that. But the only one who should have any say in the appearance of a house is the owner of that house. And why would you cut the grass? Better to let it grow or even better, plant...

I have to confess I don't see the issue. Their house, their choice on colors. Nobody else's business. Same thing with what they choose to keep in their yard.

Savage Worlds allows you to take 2 actions at a -2 penalty to everything, or 3 at -4. You also get a move, and can increase that move by Running – this is not an action but gives -2 as well. There are also ways of making multiple attacks per action, such as autofire.

Sure, but it's still a great reaction gif.

Revised Dark Sun did something like that. When you rolled stats on 4d4+4 for PCs as a default (with a number of alternate methods available, but all topping out at 20 before racial modifiers), it turned out that the difference between rolling an 18 and a 19 was an absolutely massive gap, and...

The existence of something like exceptional strength and XP bonuses for having high stats are the very opposite of game balance. They are "win more" mechanics. If you want fighters to be good at fighting, give them bonuses to fighting within the class itself rather than making it contingent on a...

APs these days (well, before this change) cost $30 (in softback), and usually come in groups of 3.

Draw Steel also seems like a much more mobile game. You can move up to your speed without any action cost, and where Pathfinder's basic Shove moves someone 5' or 10' on a crit, the basic Knockback maneuver in Draw Steel pushes someone 1/2/3 squares with many different abilities modifying that...

No. It's more similar to 4e except there are no daily powers. Characters have a set of abilities, some of which can be used at will and some of which require a heroic resource. Different classes have differently named heroic resources but they all work in similar ways: at the start of your turn...

I thought that was Kenny Rogers?

I think the first time I saw her in anything was on Tabletop. I think they were playing Cards against Humanity and she won. She might have been in gaming-related things before that but those were not things I was aware of at least.

You can build a PF2 rogue that can stand up in melee. It is by no means an automatic thing for a rogue. Sure, but it feels like you lose a lot of effectiveness by doing those things. It's a feelbad moment.

Well, for one thing different people identify different problems with 3e. But there are some commonly identified. For example, one issue with 3e is that specializing in a skill quickly gives you a much higher skill bonus than not doing so, so pretty quickly any challenge will either be aimed at...

We started an Agents of Edgewatch campaign where we had two rogues, one investigator, one wizard, one archer-ranger, and one fighter that was only occasionally present. That's when I realized that if everyone wants to be in the second rank, everyone is actually in the first rank. I think it...

What about a fighter with Strength 17 and Constitution 16? Are they stronger than a cleric with Strength 18? Is a special class ability really a special ability if only a small portion of members of that class actually have it, subject to a random roll? These two points are bad game design, and...

According to (rather thin) canon, the process that granted the sorcerer-monarchs the ability to grant their templars spells can't be repeated, so the Avangion from Arcane Shadows and Dragon's Crown can't do it (I'm blanking on his name at the moment). I believe that Oronis might be able to since...
