I made sure to get some ectoplasm-colored d6s for playing d6 Ghostbusters / Spooktacular. :cool:

My brain immediately goes to Final Fantasy for this question. It is my core reference point for what a class system ought to look like. And if we map FF1's original six classes onto the D&D ability scores, it looks like this: Strength — Fighter Dexterity — Thief Constitution — Black Belt...

My aesthetic:

Only if the Classic rules come with it. ;)

It'd be a waste of a waltz then. The "game part of an RPG" isn't a thing without whatever is facilitating tactical infinity (GM judgement, distributed authority, player consensus, whatever). Remove that from the equation and you don't have an RPG at all.

Because tactical board games do not admit tactical infinity. There is little room for lateral thinking in HeroQuest or Gloomhaven.

I loved Alternity back in the day, and I still have my old books. It's not my go-to space opera game anymore (that would be White•Star), but I definitely use Alternity (especially Star*Drive), d20 Future, and Star Frontiers as system-agnostic supplements when I have occasion to run White•Star.

Game > milieu > setting > character > story.

Oh, that's easy — it's The Force Awakens, because The Force Awakens was trying so very hard to be A New Hope without actually being A New Hope. It was also the bellwether for the direction of the third trilogy, which means that all responsibility for everything wrong with The Last Jedi and Rise...

Still working my way through Hello from the Magic Tavern (and its many, many spinoffs); Hey Riddle Riddle; Mission to Zyxx; and Improvised Star Trek.

I wasn't a Wot¢ customer before this mess; they just dragged me into it by coming after the OGL. The best they can hope for from me is that I'll go back to not thinking about them and not talking about them in addition to not buying anything from them. But if I do have to mention either Wot¢...

I was familiar with his channel from before the fiasco. "Anodyne" is the adjective that immediately leaps to mind — his vibe is like if Bob Ross were a D&D guru. Makes sense to go with Bob from WotC's perspective.

I'm on board. It makes a worthier hobby-wide celebration IMO than May the Fourth (Be With You), Int'l Talk Like a Pirate Day, or even Gary Gygax Day.

As I wrote on my blog recently, it was just a waste of three-plus weeks. Reminds me of Peter Sellers at the end of Murder By Death.

Alignments are factions that form around parties and facilitate competitive, massively mutiplayer offline open-table play. Ergo: • If the campaign has only one party, there is no use for alignment. • If the campaign has two parties, or two broad factions that the parties in the game might...
