Is it wrong to feel like I have to come here rather than risk a comment in one of my own threads? :cautious:

Was I being argumentative? I thought I was just explaining my perspective (maybe poorly). I don't know what the right answer is, and I'm not really expecting one. Some real solutions would be nice. Sharing how someone else might have dealt with similar problems. I dunno. I just expect too much...

Who's arguing? I think its obvious that I'm conflicted, but I thought we were having a discussion. So thanks? 🤷‍♂️

Getting mixed signals here. I shouldn't worry about what everyone else wants (I'm not), but I need to provide a great boon to the community (I'm still not). But this conversation is getting off track. Let's back this up. I agree that there needs to be a license or a core system to allow more...

I think you and I are on the same life raft (it's not even a boat at this point). If I were running games in person, this would be a non-issue (or less of one) for me. I prefer the in-person approach, but I also like the digital assistance when it is available. Last year I was able to use...

And now we have two different approaches with two reasonable arguments within a matter of hours, and I suspect more will be coming. For the record, I'm not opposed to either approach, but I'm also not favoring one or the other (at the moment). But I will say that it is this back-and-forth...

This makes sense. And I agree about authors wanting to inject their own idiosyncrasies. But here's the thing: which version of 4e is everyone going to expect? The original version, the Essentials version, or both? I'm talking about classes specifically. You can argue about compatibility all...

Probably. But that assumes all players have some working knowledge of the rules, and how their characters work. There is also the issue of building their characters. Do they already have access to the books and materials for what they need? Keep in mind there is no support with ALL the options...

I just gotta say it. Seeing two people put aside their differences, owning up to their actions, then moving forward together on this topic has put a smile on my face today. Thank you @Retreater and @kenada for that. :)

I have Ultimate licenses for FG Classic and Unity. I also own Foundry, and had a year Pro on Roll20 at one time. They is very little they can offer to satisfy my 4e dreams, and I am not script-savvy enough to create what I want. (It was messing with FG, in fact, that kinda broke me recently.)...

Edit: Deleted. Civility and decency prevails.

Yeah, but I don't know that I want a "clone". I mean, they left the game pretty messed up. Why would I want to copy of that? No. I want to be able to clean it up and improve it. I want to be able to ditch what I don't like about it, including what I don't like about D&D. I don't even care if...

High AF.

I didn't want to derail the thread where I mentioned this: But since putting this out there, I feel like I want to talk about now. More importantly, I want to be heard and I want to figure things out. I'm dealing with some personal issues that are making me feel more isolated and less focused...

Thanks for reaching out. I'm not looking for substitutes. I just want the same level of support and the freedom to continue using and expanding my favorite system the way others get to enjoy theirs. But that's really another subject for discussion elsewhere.

I'll try not to speak for anyone else. My reasons for not being on the 5e bandwagon has little to do with who I think it's target audience might be. From where I sit, I imagine it is aimed at everyone with a wallet, a pulse, and a desire to play D&D. So why shouldn't it provide products with a...

So becoming the Lowest Common Denominator is the goal. Got it.

Right. This is why I don't pay much attention to lists created by other people unless they're people I want to know about. If I create a top10 list of anything, it's always going to be my top 10. Not yours, and not what others expect it to be. In other words, if someone says you forget x, y, and...

I've played all of these and finished most of them.
