    It is official: Margaret Weis gets Firefly license!

    Cortex was clunky. Cortex plus is made out of awesomsauce and IMO does better what FATE attempts to do. Old Cortex on the surface looks like Savage Worlds a bit rolling d2-d12s (yes d2s!), however was swingy with results and some feel (like me) it was a lame duck of a system. To Margaret Weis...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Poll] Do You Like The Direction D&DN Is Heading In?

    The more interesting question is how many will come over when they see the final result? Finalized rules, different layers of complexity, wrapped in a new book with pretty art? Something psychologically appealing about that.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Poll] Do You Like The Direction D&DN Is Heading In?

    Interesting the Poll itself would suggest that people are liking what they see for the most part. And yet the written responses would suggest the opposite. I myself like the direction they are taking and look forward for more.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D Next be having the obvious problems that it's having at this point in the playtest?

    I don't think that August of 2014 is "corporate suits breathing down their necks" . Two and a half years with WotC resources is totally reasonable.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is DnD next chasing a pipedream?

    I can concede that PF 2.0 might be more of a 1.5 , or that they will soft sell it or attempt to sneak it under the radar (an "advanced" rules module that everything after the fact uses) I will also concede that their subscription model buffers them from the need to put out a new edition. But I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is DnD next chasing a pipedream?

    Yep, eventually PF 2.0 will come. Regardless of what anybody thinks or says.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is it finally time..

    They have done that before and my guess is they will do it as an option this time around.

    D&D 5E (2014) So I'm calling it.

    Is the purpose of this so you can perform thread necromancy x amount of years from now on the off chance your right?

    D&D 5E (2014) Expertise Dice = Vancian Magic = ADEU

    The game is already "Metagamey" and in fact it always has been . Book x is not used at this table or class y or spell/magic item z. It's always been there. DMs have always done this, WotC (in theory) is now just given them the tools to do so.

    Playtesting in Detail

    I hear what your saying, however at point would you want them to accept a green light rule and move on to designing other parts of the game?

    so how often do you go above 10th level?

    Reading the newest L&L made me wonder how many of you actually play above 10th level? In all my years of playing rpgs I have only done it twice. A homebrew (3rd) that went to level 12, and the Age of Worms campaign that went to level 17 before collapsing under rules bloat . Other than that ...

    How well have the Reprints sold in your area?

    When the reprints of the core rulebooks where announced, there were those that stated that they would buy them, others might have talked big, but did not put their money where their mouth was. Or even if the people who would buy these would even make up a significant number. Where I live the...

    1st Edition Premium Unearthed Arcana Reprint

    This would suggest that the reprints have sold well. The 1st ed books flew off the shelves where I live. The 3.5 ones are still there, but some have sold. Granted that LGS has a big Pathfinder following.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rate Playtest 1 vs. Playtest 2

    Playtest 2 > Playtest 1. I am expecting the playtests to get better as we go .

    Legends & Lore 09/03 - RPG design philosophy

    Uniting the Editions: How well did this playtest packet do?

    Haven't read the thread . This is still a little early to be asking this question . Comparing a beta to a finished product isn't fair

    Rule-of-Three: 06/12/2012

    Material components? Meh, never used them as an accounting mechanic, arrows either. For our group, tracking either would get in the way of the story . Powerful item that has x charges? Then yes, that we track. Very interested in what combat manuevers will look like. Glad to see OAs get less...
