I have no problem removing 7th-9th spells for PCs as a variant (or even as a default rule). 0D&D spells , originally, went to 6th level (I think Clerics originally went to 5th). Higher level spells were added in later supplements. However, some of Gary's own players have stated that his...

It is not my problem. I tell players my house rules before the game. It is up for them to decide if it is a game in which they want to play. I may or not play depending upon the house rules the DM uses. However, it is, imo, the DM's perogative to use the house rules they choose to run the best...

I don't assume that any house rules are so common that I do not need to ask the DM for their house rules.

You may not be wrong according to a recent Forbes article on a report by the investment bank Societe Generale. https://fortune.com/2023/04/05/end-of-capitalism-inflation-greedflation-societe-generale-corporate-profits/

No. That is not voodoo,. The voodoo doll is a Hollywood misunderstanding (?) of the Nikisi N' Kondi, a Kongo protective power figure. The Nikisi N' Kondi, which made its way along the African diaspora is used to record and enforce contracts by ensuring that the individuals involved did not...

When I studied anthropology, we were taught that shamanism was a general classification, but when referring to a specific cultural tradition, we were taught to refer to practitioners by their cultural title and be specific in their actual practices of their tradition. Also, despite what a few...

I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it, it is not illegal to purchase an item before the street date. However, there are often contracts between the manufacturer and retailer which include terms not to sell the itme before the street dat and fines for selling the product before the street...

I thought they already announced a 2e Starfinder.

For myself, in terms of official mechanics, it peaked with the core books.

As I mentioned in another thread, I like how Fantasy Craft handled half-species with feats. For example, Half-Elf would be Elf-Blood Prequisite: Non Elf; taken at Level 1 only Benefit: (insert Elf Blood feature(s)) Half-Orc would be: Orc Blood Elf-Blood Prequisite: Non Orc; taken at Level 1...

As of the moment, I am prepared to tell potential players not to bother asking to use 2024 classes based upon previews to date. The same for 2024 species.

Cantor: More priestly Bard; Minstrel: More Roguish Bard

I like how Fantasy Craft does it by making both Half- species and subraces feats. So, Half-Elf would be Elf Blood Prequisite: Cannot be species Elf; Level 1 only Benefit: whatever designers give

Agreed, but I also get annoyed when designers make up names for martial arts stances rather than using real-life terms for stances (e.g. cat stance, horse stance) as the default name.

I have not seen anyone who had been asking for SWAG. I have seen people that came prepared with inciteful questions and disappointed that too often WOTC side-stepped questioned or had no answers. (Edit: And I just learned that many of the creators pre-submitted their questions to WOTC).

I am hearing that the Summit was a dumpster fire. It was not a conversation between parties, but WOTC promoting themselves- a mismatch of expectations- and the saving grace for WOTC was someone named Dixon (Edit: in addtion to Crawford and Perkins).

Wow. Treant Monk did not get an invite to the Summit!

Yeah, but it makes the video kind of misleading to the average person whose computer won't have that kind of horsepower.

Indestructoboy asked his livestream viewers what laptops were being used for the VTT demo. Someone recognized them as Alienware gaming laptops that run $3k (refurbished) to $6k (iirc). Indestructoboy followed a link and sure enough the laptop looked just like the model being used which is way...

Lol. I was at the opposite extreme in my answer.
