Are we voting for/against the games based on the games themselves, or are we voting for/against the Kickstarters themselves based on our opinions of the company, project handling, delivery time, shipping costs, etc?

Build them differently. If the PC fighter is a DEX fighter, add a STR Warrior, maybe sword&board, or great weapon. If the PC Warrior is a STR fighter, add a DEX Warrior, maybe an archer. Then they are not doing the same thing. Fighter, Ranger, Paladin, and Monk can all be flavors of Warrior...

I DM. I added in a free Feat, but at L6, not at L1, because I was tired of PC's not taking their ASI's as ASI's, being underoptimized, and then blaming me when fights were too tough. At L1 all I gave them was an extra Tool (or Language) Proficiency.

My party is only four players, so I add in a Sidekick every time a player is gone. The Warrior wolf, who substitutes for our Fighter, died after a few sessions, but the Expert Elven Scout, who substitutes for her daughter when our half elf Rogue can't make it, and the human Wizard, Greta, who...

Goggles over your eyes = advantages on saves vs blindness. Goggles on your forehead = advantage on Persuasion checks (1/long rest), because you are just so cool. But apparently I said this last year, so never mind.

Never mind, I was wrong for "Shield" because it is triggered by being hit not by being attacked. Similarly I was also wrong for "Silvery Barbs" because it is triggered by a success and not by an attempt. Sorry.

The DM gets to pick any corner. The example DM has picked a corner that will give +5 AC. Another DM, or the same DM in another circumstance, could chose to pick a different corner. Also, it's really a cube, not a square, so you may be able to shoot over party members heads, thus negating cover...

The DM should only say "hits your AC of 15" in a party where no one can change it. In a party with "Shield" or "Silvery Barbs" the DM should instead say "Y is attacking Player Z. They have an X on the d20. Do you have any Reaction to that attack?" It is up to the players to guess Y's bonus to...

Does "see" mean "see in person"? If not than Vecna can cancel spells anywhere in the Multiverse, as long as he's Scrying on the caster at the time. Player "Why did my spell fail for no reason?" DM "Good question...."

In this version of D&D that I'm making up as I go all starting characters pick one of Young, Middle-Aged, or Old and get the appropriate Feat. That's why I didn't worry about making them under-powered. (In my first draft it was get Advantage, not add +1d4.) Then, rarely, they might change age...

Feat - Young. Proficiency bonus times per long rest you can add +1d4 to to any attack, skill check or save, as your youthful vigor helps you out. Feat - Old. Proficiency bonus times per long rest you can add +1d4 to to any attack, skill check or save, as your experience and learning helps you...

Dark Sun confirmed? Why focus on giants and barbarism unless you're planning on bringing back a setting with half-giants and a lower tech level? :)

"Good" and "Evil" are for the other classes. "Wizard" is an alignment. Or to paraphrase Ash "Good, bad, I'm the man with the spells."

Personality Traits "You youngsters need to get off of my lawn." and “Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will...

It was delayed in Europe, kept the same print date in the USA, and was (apparently) advanced one day for US digital (and is still on the way to Alaska, because shipping, sigh).

Almost no one really likes T1-4, what they like is T1, The Village of Hommlet. It should be on the list by itself, and we should forget the long version, T2-4 are just a big, stupid, grindy mega-dungeon (although the very first part, set in Nulb, isn't bad).

Party feared TPK, villains fled.
