I mean, I kinda like the idea of feats for everyone at level 1 instead of the previous flavor abilities from the backgrounds. Because the later seldom saw any actual use, and the game sorely needs some way to distinguish characters of the same class and level from each other. The actual...

I sometimes feel like I'm crap at my job. But then I just have to look around me, see that most people are even worse at it, and say to myself: hey, at least I'm trying to improve, unlike these other people who all seem to have some degree of Dunnning-Kruger.

I'm curious as to why the Escalation scale is descending. Are those numbers used for anything, mechanically?

And IIRC the idea of the horns of Orcus as artifacts is something Matt made up, not part of anything previously published for D&D, right? In which case they would definitely not use it for this movie - unless they gave him a writing credit or something.

Too small and not black enough for the canonical look. But not impossible.

Well, I can see that you and I will just have to agree to disagree on that point.

All of that is much easier to build into a class feature, taking up at most a page of rules (a list of options and a "pick X of these" rule), rather than forcing players to comb through several monster manuals hoping to find what they're looking for. Also, you wouldn't have to be at the mercy of...

I don't really understand any part of that argument. "have to": Why does it have to do anything? "broad range of capability": What, like the current rule where you can turn into... uhh, slightly different-looking bags of hit points with boring attacks? ;)

So like most of the clunky stuff in 5e, it's because of highly vocal 3e grognards? Got it.

For an example of how to do it right, just look at 13th Age.

It's what happens when WotC write an extremely clunky rule to begin with, instead of just giving us: "Here are the stats for wildshape at each level, reskin it however you want."

Ouch! Why so aggressive? All I'm saying is that as an ordinary customer of DTRPG, who only interacts with them by browsing their store for stuff to buy, there was no way for me to know this stuff. Now, they might well think that I don't need to know, and they might be right. This might be...

On some blog I've never seen before. ;) I've been told that publishers have been informed when they log in, but finding that information is pretty obscure for us ordinary customers.

Nope.

I can't even find it on a search. They must have pulled it for some reason.

Ridley Scott believes a lot of strange things. Like alien astronauts, or that Deckard was a replicant. :rolleyes:

I think your Alien / Blade Runner mashup is going to be more diffcult than you think. Alien uses more-or-less the classic Year Zero engine, while Blade Runner has opted for the rather different version that was in Twilight:2000.

Glad to see I'm not the only one wondering why empyreans are even in the book... Also happy that the darkmantle isn't getting any love. Stupid impostor, bring back the trapper and lurker above! ;)

Because that's how SPI rolled.

Yes, the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw pact) broke up, and despite "winning the Cold War" the West entered a significant recession. To those of us entering the workforce then, who had been raised on the promise of an ever-expanding economy, it kinda felt like the world we...
