    A Remembrance of Everway: The First WOTC RPG that was too Good to Succeed

    What I heard from a then WOTC distributor was that WOTC offered their distributors better prices on Magic if they ordered this, distributors did the math, ordered copies that they knew would never sell to save more money on Magic than they had to pay for Everway, dumped them quickly for cash...

    D&D 5E (2024) what would a 1D&D warrior archtype look like to play like the casters?

    So like Fourth edition then? That is against current WOTC's religion.

    WotC quietly deleting access to the 3e SRD

    Yes, but that is more because people don't realize that ChatBots are how SkyNet begins than because of this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should reliable talent be a feature that all characters get with proficiency/expertise?

    There is already a Common Magic item that lets you "Take 10" on an attack once per day. How about some new Common Magic Items that let you "Take 10" on Skill Checks once per day? For balance we may want to limit this to a single skill, and not all skills. Shoes of Balancing (Common) - Take 10 on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there a garuenteed way to take damage every turn?

    But you could roll a one, and not take two damage. Can you douse yourself twice for 2d4? You could always have STR 12 and hit yourself for 2 damage, but what if you miss?

    D&D 5E (2024) Should reliable talent be a feature that all characters get with proficiency/expertise?

    Yes, but it should be one of those new Epic Feat for everyone else.

    Wand, Staff (absorbs Rod), Spellbook, and Orb (absorbs Crystal). Implement choice, like weapon choise for a Martial, is important.

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see from the bastion system?

    If the base is damaged it will simply take a long rest to recover completely, so no structure will ever not be at full hit points the next day. That is why sieges are so difficult, the attacker probably has to roll two 20's in a row to do enough damage to the base to take it to 0 HP so it can't...

    Nominate your MOST ANTICIPATED RPG of 2023 [NOMINATIONS OVER]

    I nominate Blade Runner, by Free League, given that it is December 5th and it does not seem to be out yet, or even at distributors, so a 2023 release seems likely. Blade Runner RPG

    Worlds of Design: How Big is Your Army?

    Hi, If it was as bad as WWI casters on both sides would get "Woe" as the resources (lives) spent made the battle a bad deal even if you "won", and that's not even getting into the whole "World War I caused World War II" argument.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 2022 Overview - Did you purchase any of the books?

    Our stores bought scores of all of these. I personally bought Mordenkainen's Monsters and Spelljammer. I am planning on buying Stormwrack Isle and Dragonlance but all my D&D money is going towards Loke Battle Mats. I also want to get Radiant Citadel, and I might in 2023.
