I appreciate reading your takes, as I haven’t at all kept up with how other RPGs crowdfunding efforts go over the years. MCG focusing on backer numbers for stretch goals messes with my ability to see how things are going, too. I understand why they do it, but I end up just focusing on how...

What they are saying is that the character creation rules are the ones getting the big overhaul. The damage done by monsters requires a “one sentence instruction” to update. Charles Ryan said it takes “about five seconds” to update a monster. Then if the monsters are compatible, the...

Thoughts on the Cypher System? They have their own open license, SRD, and are more rules light than 5e. Thaumaturge.

I like their name choices for these. Thaumaturge.

I’m digging class groups. Between the way they’re handling feat prerequisites and spell lists, it really seems like it’ll be easier for them to add full classes in the future. Thaumaturge.

Yes. One for each of the good-aligned planes. Thaumaturge.

Cultist is a background. Now I want to make a PC named Teft. Thaumaturge.
