So my wife's favorite class of any edition was 4th edition's Swordmage, namely with its themes of hopping around the battlefield dragging foes around, and drawing enemies' ire away from companions. Since switching to 5th Ed, there have been some options that get us partway there but end up...

Yes, I 100% agree with you there. I've probably reread Issola 4-5 times.

Toward the second half of 4e's life, my group did a giant homebrew hack to the game engine with all of our preferred tweaks. We called it "Franken-Fourth." It ended up being our very own 4e-heart breaker. This was probably way too extreme for most 4e fans, but I thought I'd toss this out there...

Fascinating! Was this an rpg or more like a 'choose-your-own-adventure' type books? (1987... very early in Brust's career too)

"Dee" better Artificer naturally. And totally De-Ogl-ified!! ;):p (Please don't hurt me Morrus...)

I'll throw in another vote for Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. It would be one of those books I might not ever play but would make a fascinating read. I'd also enjoy seeing a book or even supplement for one of my favorite fantasy settings: Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series. (Almost voted...

Well only speaking for myself, but I've hardly heard a peep about Golden Vault, so I have no real clue what's going to be in it. I forgot it was even a thing until this poll.

Throwing my 2 coppers in as well... 1. The tools website is quite robust and you can navigate to each adventuring class' page and step through all the features pretty nicely. There's a character builder tool as well. Without any computers at the table, it might be a challenge going with pdf's...

I voted Planescape, as I've been running a continuous Planescape campaign since the days of 4th edition, but at this point (with the thin Spelljammer book format and everything happening at corporate heaven) let's call it morbid interest. I do collect miniatures, however, so if there's a cool...

In my conclusion, I told them how they had broken 10+ years of trust in their stewardship of D&D in a matter of days, and how that trust would be nearly impossible to return. I went on to add that if they only went back before that, they would see that the brand-name wasn't strong enough to...

If I may, I'd like to make another feature request: Currently, under Exploration Knacks there is a relatively new button "+Add" that creates segmented knacks. Could we get the same button/feature for Features and Traits? I'd love to divide them up among class features, feats, etc, etc, and it's...

I'm also not familiar with Midnight, but I've been using A5e seamlessly with official D&D content/adventures, Kobold Press adventures/monsters, some stuff from Monte Cooke, and a smattering of other 3rd parties.

We use Levelup and a fair amount of Kobold Press materials, with a smattering of others

I found Level Up's "extra bits" to be fairly modular in their presentation. For instance, don't want to use Supply, you can ignore it but still use the Journey system if you want? Don't want to use all the nitty-gritty modifiers in combat? That's fine, run it like 5e. Feel like Destinies are a...

I'm assuming whatever a de-OGL-ified version of LevelUp will be, would still be mostly backwards-compatible with the existing materials? Asking for someone who owns all the existing hardbacks but doesn't have the disposable income to rebuy them ;)

I'm pretty sure that's the whammie equivalent of James Bond stopping the bomb from going off with 1 second to spare. Well done!

Apparently they were just random NPCs in a forest?? Doesn't seem like they were brownies, but their scene felt so surreal I wondered the same thing!

I'd never "played" or heard of this until last month, so I decided to unofficially try for fun! I almost made it. I got whammied at my FLGS of all places. I'm pretty sure they knew exactly what they were doing.

Our campaign world is kind of a Planescape-ish Multiverse. With a lot of influence from some of the lore of the old Planescape, a pinch of every other edition of D&D (even 4e), and a huge dose of Pratchett, most of the gods in our setting can be considered Tulpas, but the narrative we created...
