    D&D General Ditching Archetypes 6E?

    They made several classes to cover each niche. A Cleric could heal but a Bard or Warlord could also heal. Both Rouge or Ranger were damage primaries. But it's amazing how much a paragraph in the class description can form how people can view a class.

    D&D General Ditching Archetypes 6E?

    4E tried to have niche protection and everyone hated it. People don't want to be locked into roles based on class; they want to be whatever fictional concept then envision in their heads.

    D&D General GMing and "Player Skill"

    A good player should be ready for anything; especially when I'm GMing. Difficult combats! Social challenges! Eat a taco topped with cottage cheese and raisins! Bowling! Run a marathon while eating a tuna sandwich every mile! Quote Monty Python! Who knows what I'll come up!?! I sure don't!!!

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    If we're just wishing for what we want; then let me tell you what I want... That every person who plays 6E will control their own destiny. An edition of the truly free! An edition of declaring action, not spewing words; ruled by judgement, not committee! Where the rules change to suit the...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Instead of thinking about rules, I want to think about the training process of the developers. For example, I think the developers should participate in UFC style matches to better understand how unarmed combat works. Or go spend a week camping and hiking. Or maybe go forge their own swords???

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I want 6E to purposefully push out and purge the weak from D&D so that the strong won't be held back by trying accommodate the weak. I also want WOTC to consult heavily with the members of Enworld; as who are better then us to determine the direction of D&D?? And instead of a DMG, WOTC could...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you run a game in Ravnica?

    Ravnica is all about Guilds, so my central questions are... Which players will be from which guilds? Will they all be from the same guild or all different?? Which Guilds do you understand and/or can portray? How well can you manage fractional conflict? One group like something but another...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    But exploration and social stuff shouldn't require rule systems! The DM and players are suppose to improv and negotiate their way through it! And having class abilities for it will just encourage people to look at their character sheets to solve problems. They're suppose to use their...

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    Your character can fight a tank but can they track down Carmen Sandeigo? And yes, I literally did throw a "where in the world is Carmen Sandeigo?" type adventure at my M&M group.
