Very dark ND. I especially liked this part: and this: I think places like that should inspire Curses and talk of Disaster.

Tonight after watching The Thing with my daughter (the prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing) I had a sort of bizarre and I think horrific and creepy idea for a series of adventures, or a campaign. On one of the worlds of my game there is an ancient city, long deserted, and which was...

Interesting discussion. Can't join in right now as wife is getting testing tomorrow to prep her for surgery and I've been real busy with that and other stuff lately. But nice debate. Carry on and goodnight.

I'm not against what you're saying CD. I'm saying the game went so far towards the Character it effectively swamped out the Player. I've personally got nothing against immersion or Characters. Both are good in my opinion, especially in Role Play Games. Because the point is to Role Play. But in...

I understand you. This is my take. I think a great deal of this will come down to, 'how much steerage will the game allow for Role Play and how much will it try to insist upon predetermined and fixed rules construction?' In my opinion Role Playing Games, by very nature, are ill suited to...

Do you think that 5th Edition will herald the return of the player (the emphasis on the game returning to the Player) versus the majority of game emphasis being upon the Character? I am very hopeful that the 5th Edition will lead to the return of the player and will mean a lessening of the...

Personally I'd like to see Class Advancement Experience based, Race Advancement Achievement based, and Theme Advancement Intention based, rather than by level or leveling up. That is advancements to Class are definitely gonna be Experience based (leveling-up) given the historical...

I'd like to see the following in some form or another: Wargaming Module Invasion Module Solo Adventurer Module Small Teams Module (2 or 3 players) Heavy Exploration Module Ruins Module Dead Race or Dead Civilization Module Vadding Module Court Intrigue Module Siege and BeSeiged...

I'm pretty sure they'll advance by leveling up as well. But should they, and is this the method you prefer? If not, what are your ideas? (or, anyone else's for that matter?)

By the way if you want to posit a different way of advancing Class other than by Leveling-Up feel free to discuss that as well.

Let's say, for sake of theoretical conjecture, that Class, Race, and Themes all exist in 5E. And that it is possible to advance them all, in some way or fashion. My assumption, based on the history of the game is that Class will be advanced by "Leveling-Up." Should Race and Themes be similarly...

Me personally I could care less what others think of me as long as I'm not harming others unfairly or for no good reason. And to me it's just the internet, opinions, and a game. All are interesting, nothing I'd ever care about in the important sense of caring about it. I'd like to see 5E...

I'd like to see something very different than levels to advance/develop both Race and Theme.

Thanks for your opinions/explanations guys. Sounds like an interesting concept.

I don't know enough about the concept to offer an informed opinion. Can you or someone else who knows some of the details explain how you think the concept will work exactly?

Based on all of the comments (by those who participated) I've read in this thread so far (and given that it's still too early to tell for sure), I think I'm gonna really, really like 5E. Of course a lot will be in the presentation.

I don't really know anything about the 5E Skill system yet. This is how we do skills. Skills are handled like real human skills. Players can use their own real world skills in-game, as long as they are appropriate skills (there is no call for computer work in my setting). We role play...

I'm glad to hear that. I've been wanting to see that film. A few other smaller films I can recommend: The Eagle, and Centurion - both about the 9th Legion, Black Death, and Agora, about the female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria. Anyway, I'm gonna pick up ARN now. Thanks for the info.

Here is a question I had meant to ask earlier, got interrupted with other things and am just now getting back to: Do you guys want to see a separate Psionic Class, or do you want to be able to see any character or character class potentially (even if the odds are only slight) able to use...

Pretty much me too. The game fits the setting, not the setting the game.
