My early interest waned as the creation tools looked less interesting over time. This is a great step in the right direction. As for it "not being 5e", I don't find that to be a compelling complaint. I'd much rather see vibrant gameplay adapted to the medium than a rigid shoehorning of 5e...

I'm jumping in to a thread 20 days after it started... but here I go anyway. I think the handling of social issues in 5e is spot-on, able to be sincere without being heavy handed. I'm going to pull out 3 specific examples of their effective but gentle explanations: 1) The brief nod to racial...

ENWorld's best series. This needs to be made into a coffee table book once the alphabet is complete.

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be to put up your stuff for free. WotC isn't out for blood, so your fansite would be find. As has been mentioned, many products (incuding En5ider) walk the line using the OGL. You could try to shoehorn your 5e module into the 3.x OGL, but is that...

Cleric is down to 12? You all risk the wrath of the gods lol.

GI Joe RPG? Yes please.

Not sure I'm comfortable with Clerics and Wizards in the same box, but role and class are so intermixed in D&D it's hard to separate the two. Granted. The core archetypes would be the last man (men?) standing, but OP is asking which class gets the axe first. So what's your personal bias? ;)

Warlock. Because the masses rose up and said "We need another caster mechanic! Preferably one that tracks spells in two different way because bookkeeping is the heart and soul of D&D!" Oh wait...that never happened.

My rules of optimization: 1) Concept first, math second. Take an idea and then make the best version of that idea you can. 2) Optimization is good, but one trick ponies and exploiting RAI can get old quick. If it feels cheap, it probably is. 3) Player parity is as important as your ability...

For veteran players this is a Starter Set worth owning, just for the top notch Lost Mines of Phandelver module. It's a great module in general, and IMO the best official module for new players. The one weak spot is the potentially lethal opening encounter. However, the lethality of levels 1-3 in...

I agree that exploration and social haven't been handled as well as combat. I think part of it is that too quickly mechanics in these areas can intrude on the roleplaying/storytelling aspect of the exploration and social pillars. Rigid combat systems are about fairness and creating agreement...

I'm picturing it based on the caster, like in the current system. Multiple casters loading buffs onto a playmaker PC would remain viable. If I was going to differentiate "unstackable" spells into categories I'd go with 3 easy categories: buff, debuff, and utility. You'd have a flying (utility)...

EDIT: It's me, not you. Carry on. (My workplace is blocking photobucket.)

By inelegant, I more accurately mean oversimplification. I think my uneasiness stems from them combining two design goals into a single rule: 1) The disruption of spells mechanic (goal: require maintaining spells, concentration checks on damage) and 2) the non-stacking mechanic (goal: reduce...

If you access a thread from the front page, it displays it in a News Article format. If you access the same thread via the forums, it displays it in a Forum Thread format. It's a bit weird, but any front page thread that I want to get involved with I track down in the forums, so XP/laugh...

These are amazing! The upside of this migration is I'm seeing a lot of great resources for the first time.

This is interesting stuff. Any way to see the original pics or encounter mob lists?

I've enjoyed your meticulous class breakdowns as a lurker on the WotC fourms, welcome on board!
