I don't think that is necessarily true. The story of Derek Black as an example of how a white nationalist can be converted away by people interacting with them over time. For those not familiar with Derek Black, he was not only the founder of Stormfront, but the godson of David Duke and...

Here is a huge list of 3pp material that I like (note: I still have some other things to checkout including the Shaman class by Ross Leiser, the Alchemist class by Taron Pounds, and several monster related books (e.g. Home Field Advantage, Bloodied & Bruised)) Races Human: Alternate Variant...

From WOTC, the only material I own are the core books while the rest is 3pp. Some of the 3pp stuff that I like includes material from the following: posters on this site, 5MWD, EN5ider, Mage Hand Press's website, Sterling Vermin, Walrock Homebrew, Tribality Publishing, Rich Howard, Brandes...

Barbarians of Lemuria, Beasts & Barbarians (for Savage Worlds), Honor + Intrigue, Savage Lankhmar, Savage Pathfinder, Tiny Dungeon 2e, BASH Fantasy: Legend of Steel, GURPS Fantasy, Fantasy Hero...nope, they do not need to start with a "D". :D

The whole thing is concerning. However, like some of the people on EGG's Discord, I am going to be watching the future actions of EGG's owner closely- especially, in paying creators the balance of what is owed. Given that @sigfried and the other creators designed a good game, I want to give Dave...

I think you and the creative team did an excellent job on the game. I also think your intereraction with fans on the Discord has been excellent.

Morrus, thank you for the article. It was well written. As an aside, I thought it to be unusual for a company to put a relatively new product line on Humble Bundlele. The Humble Bundle made me wondering if the company was having financial issues and needed to quickly raise funds for some...

I agree about the idea and image. I would have preferred a different class name and image. However, I can see the class for one or two members of Leverage and Hustle teams (even if just as a multi-class) along with a few other media characters.

I got the following (I also knew that I would be reimbursed as they were going to be Christmas and birthday gifts for me): 5e Monster Manual Everday Heroes and the following cinematic adventures: Escape From New York, Highlander, Kong: Skull Island, Pacific Rim, Rambo, The Crow, Total Recall...

Have you seen the Alchemist written by Rich Howard and published Tribality Press? It is not what I was looking for in an alchemist class as I did not want a spellcaster, but it is a spell casting class similar to what you you describe wanting. The subclasses are Artificer, Herbwarden, Irezumi...

Ars Magica also used the term Ease Factor. From Redcap.org, " In Ars Magica, the Ease Factor is the minimum number a player has to roll (after modifiers) in order for a character to succeed at a task".

While doing a search to confirm that DCs in Ars Magica were called Ease Factor, I just saw a 2013 post in which a poster wrote that he asked Monte Cook at a convention about the origin of DCs in D&D and Monte confirmed that it came from Jonathan Tweet.

Regarding DCs in other games, let us not forget that Jonathan Tweet was an original designer for Ars Magica which used d10+ability+skill vs DC (called Ease Factor?) as a resolution mechanic and that he became the lead for 3.0 after being brought in by Peter Adkison to replace him on the design team.

This lines up with what Tweet or Reynolds stated in Dragon Magazine about the original DCs in 3.0. The DCs were based on the what the designers referred to as the "Commoner Standard" (or was it "Common Standard") which was how difficult a task is for a common human with no training or (edit...

First level subclases would also allow for variations within a class for Armor Proficiency, Weapon Proficiencies, Hit Die, starting skills (number and list), save proficiencies based upon the archetype/theme for the subclass.

Move Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins to the M:TG team and put Steve Kenson in charge of 5eR.

I agree. edit: I like the Keaton Batman movies, but I never bought him, physically, as Bruce Wayne. The same goes for Pattinson. However, they tie for my second choice. As for Adam West, I never liked the tv show, but I will take him over Clooney and Kilmer as the latter two are at the bottom...
