I'm thinking of when my son started playing with me when he was 9. We played with a NPC that could add some combat and such. I'm wondering if he played with these new rules and learned this way if he would like to play the 'normal' way when we started playing with more people. Not sure if the...

I stopped caring if I watched them. I used to want to see them in order or track the timeline and get more involved, but now most of them do not appeal to me in any way. Love to see a good FF movie, but the preview seems off as well on this one. I would like to be wrong though.

I'm wondering why people think she is underdressed! It looks fine to me.

I guess the easiest way to play with one PC is to have a bunch of rerolls and 3 times the HP. This way the DM does not need to modify the adventure. It seems easier than the gestalt rules where you have two classes that go up at the same time. Now what do I get if there are two players...

Some of all this might be a holdover from earlier editions where in combat time was different than out of combat time. There is also some input from the failed check. If a PC misses the check by 5 on a standard lock I may say that it appears harder than first thought and it takes another...

I have never had a thief try twice in one round using their bonus action. They mostly like to attack and try to open a door or lock. Out of combat, I tend to rule they cannot use their bonus action/ cunning action. I have not really tried the 2024 rules with getting advantage opening locks...

I wonder if anything has changed over the last 11 years for anyone? I seem to go with more of a penalty for failure now. Miss the open lock check be 1-4, then maybe you make a loud noise that alerts the monsters and they gain surprise, but you can try again or just open it more likely. Miss...

I like function over form. The name, class, and level should be large enough and easy enough to read to sort them fast. The text can be shorthand to keep the font large enough and more direct to the point (I have the book if I need to look it up, right). There could be a color-coded border...

I tend to find that once people get their mind to leaving, the rest is excuses. Like leaving a boyfriend/girlfriend or a job, or even when I watch the Naked and Afraid show and a cast member up and quits over being too hot/cold/hungry/dirty/bugs/etc... The words people use tend to not be the...

I recall it being a pain to make monsters, mostly monsters with class levels. I would more or less just wing creation if I was going to play 3x games. I would not plan out spells or most of the class abilities and just add a couple things and encounter spells. I could add later if the...

If they already decided to not use only 2024 SRD, then why not. It is their game like my table that I play with my group. We call it 5e, but it has some other older things brought over accidently or added for fun.

I tend to only play D&D, whatever version is current, so to me a variant is something I could play that feels like I'm playing D&D and that I do not need to learn a bunch of new rules. Granted plays like D&D is different from basic/OSR, 3e/Pathrinder and 5e/TOV, but if someone says it is just...

I was wondering why the OP did not post a list or description of the factions, but now I see there are like 50 of them.

I think there will be some that found the game and liked it enough to stay with it. They become the parents that have kids that pick it up. A lot of people picked up golf at that same time and things shoe that a good amount stayed with it. Younger people tend to quasi-golf like video golf and...

I would try to not mix the stuff. If I said that we are using the 24 rules and there are no 1/2 elves, then there is no 1/2 elves. If only to prevent the next question to be what about 1/2 orcs. Then all the what abouts to cheese the game to make your cool combo. Show people the new rules...
