    Things from Other Editions/Games That Were Done Well & Should be Included in Some For

    Fallout - Action Points (instead of action types) Warhammer - brilliant class paths

    How about translations ?

    There was a similar situation in Poland. In fact, when WotC launched the Essentials, 2/3 of the original core were already translated and then the publication was stopped because people thought Essentials would maybe be better. Polish PHB 4e IIRC was recently announced to be published, and then...

    Which 3rd ed classes should have been core?

    My list is: Warblade Crusader Swordsage Ranger Marshal Knight Barbarian Bard Paladin Swashbuckler (?) Druid Wizard Sorcerer Warlock Warmage Archivist Spellthief (?) Psion Psychic warrior Lurk Anything else that's not a PrC would probably be thrown away. That includes Samurai, Shugenja...

    Can't mark forums as read

    Every time I try to mark forums as read, I get an error message, telling me to contact an administrator. What's going on?

    D&D 5E (2014) No ascending bonuses: A mathematical framework for 5e

    I like the last suggestion. As for the bonuses, I'd keep them, but make them very small.

    Ability Scores - Should they increase?

    The elimination of negative scores is a brilliant thing. I'd combine those two solutions and add a cap.

    Monsters that have been degraded over time that need fixing

    What else got watered down? Mind flayers. Holy **** scary in AD&D (Int drain), a little bit less scary in 3e, and watered down in 4e. Drow. Total evil enigma in OGB, then they went to become optional player race in AD&D, player race in 3e FR (and got played a lot). The mystery disappeared...

    Vancian? Why can't we let it go?

    It was not 4e, but Tome of Battle that introduced the system. 4e simply took it further. I prefer the ToB iteration to the 4e, but still I prefer it to the Vancian (AD&D /3e) system. Your idea, sir, has merit.

    My own RPG [WIP] - input needed

    Bump. With the hot discussions about 5e, why not support a fan's work, which *might* be better than 5e (i.e. easier, simpler, more realistic, less bloated)?

    Yer candidate for the monster on 5th MM1

    Why have a Monster Manual at all? Monsters are not all that is to D&D. On topic - mind flayer, drow or a dragon would be my choices. Or all three at once! :devil:

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Lesson? Is one big honkin book intimidating?

    I'd prefer if only the absolutely necessary stuff constituted Core. Preferably 100 pages at most. Available both as a book and as a pdf, and all the optional content available as pdfs and no bigger than Core.

    D&D 5E (2014) The basic logic at the heart of 5E design - core, modular, etc

    I hope that we get one of two: 1) the Core is free and everything else is cheap 2) we pay for Core but we get everything else for free I mean, why pay many times for what is essentially the same game?

    D&D 5E (2014) Imagine This: 5E in five easy steps

    Could you point me to some of those variants, please? I am also interested in how this issue will be solved.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your 5E

    I like it too. Brilliant, sir, brilliant! Skills: My variant had 18 skills (I'd have to check exactly which ones). Basically, you can do everything you can do in normal 3e D&D, but with less numerical hassle. Maybe it could be possible to lessen the number even further? Classes & races: I'd...

    I am also interested. Can those conversions be found anywhere?

    Creating your own mechanics

    I am trying to create my own RPG mechanics. They are inspired by various existing mechanics (including D&D, Warhammer, Deus Ex RPG) and there are original ideas in it also. Can someone explain to me what the poster meant in this post: If I make free mechanics, are they copyrighted or not? Is...

    A Cleric, by any other name, twould cast as sweet.

    I don't really know 2e, but I like the 3e domains, with the ability to easily add more of them. Especially the granted powers are a nice touch. 2e specialty priests were brilliant, however, as far as I know them.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] To Vance or not to Vance - That is the Question

    The Vancian magic irks me a bit. I prefer the Tome of Battle system of Encounter/Daily/Stance. That's why I'm trying to make my own RPG system.
