I assume that it must have some pretty good FR specific fluff. I was just pushing back against the idea that "everything" in it was useful outside the Realms. If I have to rewrite a bunch of history and setting specific stuff, that isn't useful. And to be clear, I don't expect it to be. But that...

This is one of my big pet peeves about how 5E handles levels and challenges, despite the benefits of the flat math. A part of 1st level characters heads off through the terrifying Spider Forest to explore the old "haunted" Dwarven mines. An in game week later, they are returning at 3rd or 4th...

Do you think the market is essentially the same as it was 30 years ago?

So what makes it a FR product? I am, of course, being flip, but if the whole thing is useful outide of FR, it is hard to imagine it being a true FR product.

Which? WHat 5E WotC product "didn't sell"?

For those that have read the new FR books: What is in those books that would be of use to GMs and Players who don't use the Realms? How so? Overall, what percentage of the content would consider to be useful outside of Realms play? Thanks.

My go-to is Mortismal Gaming and he has said it is basically an improvement on OW1 in every way. I'm just not buying it until I finish a pretty big freelance assignment.

Is anyone playing Outer Worlds 2 yet?

I think I am leaning toward Fate, mostly because I already know it pretty well (even if I will still have to wipe the cobwebs off, since it has been a while). I like the way "create an advantage" can be used in lieu of punching things in a pretty broad set of story types. I have to decies...

Fair enough.

Well, sure, if you buy the setting addenda, they are indeed setting specific.

Brief subtitled scenes don't bother her too much, but something like Shogun would certainly be a problem.

When I run Shadowdark, I do not allow this sort of thing. The spell does what it does and if your friends are in the way, well, make a decision.

That's a generic monster "book."

I think he wants a game that doesn't have combat at all, and if it exists, it is a quickly resolved non-tactical experience.

I am legitimately baffled at this suggestion. Are we just playing "My favorite RPG" now?

That's a little disruptive to the narrative experience, which is exactly the problem is am trying to solve.

I'll be honest: everything someone suggests Cortex and emphasizes it's toolkit quality, I recoil a little. And it has nothing to do with not liking Cortex (never used it) or not liking toolkits (I love a good toolkit). It is simply the idea that I don't know if I have the mentality bandwidth to...
