I agree this is all a good thing. This is why at the end of the day I prefer systems like DW, or FFG SW where rolling dice is not likely to be a simple pass/fail result.

Never heard of the game or the books- But saw the hoopla about it recently-I forced myself through the 1st episode. It's certainly no Stranger Things or Lost in Space. I really don't understand why so much fantasy is done so poorly on-screen. The acting was -eh. The setting seemed...

%Liar Which Hargrave ran with in Arduin :rolleyes:

I don't understand it either ;)

The only way I'd pick up a Modiphius Star Wars is if Jay Little somehow gets to keep his rights to the FFG dice system and replaces the 2d20 system he designed for Modiphius. This sucks. Best for the former employees. Guess I better pick up the EotE book now to go with my AoR book and box. And...

Jury Duty

I'm with you- I don't want WOTC to touch GH-I'd be curious to see maybe a DMs Guild thing on Mearls' GH (maybe for a charity)- but otherwise please let Gary RIP.

As I said In the new book thread- As a curiosity I'd like to see how they would tackle the Dales, but I don't need it or want it. I'm good for FR with my OGB, and a couple of choice product picks from 2E, and Ed's 4E book. I really, really wish they would just do something new- I don't mean...

If this is the case, I will be sad. So I hope you are wrong ;)

The essentials kit is a good follow up to Lost Mine- but it doesn't really throw the adventurers into the action right away. The first few quest are pretty mundane and not terribly action packed-As I said in my review- The whole adventure arc is low energy and takes too long to get going. But...

Sorry about that- when I saw it last night and posted I was under the impression the dice set was part of the explorer's kit (which maybe included other game-aid things)- not the title of the book as well.

Interesting-though I have all the info I need, I'd like to see a 5e take and focus on the Dalelands (remember 20 years ago when we complained about Dalelands this, Dalelands that? Sword Coast is the new Dalelands). However, I'm gonna guess this is another Xanathar type book focusing on...

FWIW- and in the interest of the new "civility" mentions by Umbran, and a new year resolution to keep things light- I actually do like 3.0- and run it on occasion- I ran a few sessions for my 8yo daughter using the Adventure Game from Y2K, my 20 yo Son , and my wife (not mentioning her age...

I am speaking of: D6 per side per round. Not d6 per player per round. No declaring actions until player goes. Players decide who goes first, second, third., etc.. Its simple side initiative ala Moldvay.

Troof. Preach it.

Adding up more dice for extra damage is not an issue for me, but it does take longer if everyone is having to take more time to add them up each round. (I also don't use static damage for monsters). Going back to my initial post- this is why I prefer doing things on the DM side- e.g...

I'm not sure what you mean by "re-poll" every turn? Players have to declare what their PCs are doing on each turn regardless if the initiative is cyclic or rolled round by round. …? As for "until the end/start" business. I've done it in 3E and 4E and 13th Age as well- I'm aware it does...

Thank you- Name totally escaped me!

Something else- You might want to steal the escalation die mechanic from 13th Age. It's super simple, inserts seamlessly into 5E initiative, and it will shorten combats as the PC's increasingly hit more often as the combat goes on- Also great to give badass "boss" monsters and up the tension on...
