@kiznit was running OSR games at GenCon in 2005 or 2006ish. OSR was definitely a reaction to 3.5.

Not my games. Players in my games have learned that they could encounter much stronger enemies at any point.

My current campaign uses regional dialects. Therian:Trade Language, Therian Empire Ashke: Ten Towns, Common Ossian: Elder Ossia, Common tongue of the Northern Alkebulan continent Cymrian: Common tongue of the Cymrian states Tallan: Common tongue of the Tallian Empire Abnobian: Common tongue of...

They should have kept the 3e rule that you get additional languages based on intelligence modifier.

It depends. If you like an author, games, brand, theme etc, then you can search them and see what it happening. You do not need social media for discovery.

It exceeded a million.

They are the size of a trade paperback,

Casters are easy in comparison to all the conditional rules and bonuses in 3.5/PF1e. You can a spell and it has an effect. The spells are easier than 3.5 too with things like concentration although not as easy as 2e.

The iterative attacks with -5 steps downs, the host of +bonuses, the reach, cleave, power attack….. 5e is so much less complex. I remember having to force players to write conditional Statblocks so we did not take 30 mins to figure out conditional bonuses.

I find that Google or DuckDuckGo helps me find things on the internet. :cool::p

I am happy to disagree and I do not care if some folks consider boards as social media. I happily do not. My main issue with social media apps like FB, TikTok, Instagram, etc is the proto-narcisstic nature of creating a public profile to just talk about yourself and get lots of people...

These days, we just cancel the game. I have run someone’s character in the past or, more common, make up an excuse for why they are missing. The last time, the character went missing and the group session was to find her but it made the player angry and she quit the group because her character...

It is an actual debate with many considering message boards not to be social media.

Meh...FaceBook, TikTok, Twitter....none of them have the active discussion of the forums. My experience is that they only served to divorce people from each other. People post their thoughts or life events to get a bunch of reactions but rarely real interaction. Old school ENW/CM had a lot of...

That is after 26ish years. I do not consider a message board social media where you are creating a account to have people follow you or follow others. The boards are for water-cooler discussion.

It all sounds like too much work to be a fan.

It need not be super light. I like 5.0 and it has crunch but anything like 3.5, 4e, or pf1e……no. I want to game rather than just deal with crunch.

Who has the time for discord or Patreon? I do not use social media, in general.

We are basically saying the same thing. The villains are the root problems we still have today that are propped up by "civilized" power structures although I would argue that they are really barbaric people using the levers of power to fulfill their needs at the expense of others.

It depends on print location. There are a lot of US-based printers although they have being moving some operations outside the US. This may halt of delay the process. Tariffs could be circumvented by becoming USMCA compliant. A lot of businesses never bothered because it did not matter without...
