That reminds me, the Invincible TTRPG is having a Kickstarter; eventually... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/invincible-the-roleplaying-game

Oh, we're looking for common pitfalls, eh?? I find expecting your players to read the rules to be a common mistake among designers. How do you design a TTRPG that doesn't require players to read???

Messin' around on your home table is one thing; selling it to the world is another. Heartbreaker is a term for a reason.

Maybe forcing the player to search for and use weird dice IS one of the points of the game?? https://goodman-games.com/dungeon-crawl-classics-rpg/

I just think about it for a second and allow it if it makes sense in the fiction. And maybe make them roll a D20 because everything is a D20 check.

WOTC made minions because they thought tracking the HP of twenty plus creatures was too much of a pain. Does anyone here want to share tips for managing a fight with thirty of so giants??

Please take soundtrack inspiration from Digital Extremes...

I heard the thy guys who made Factorico are looking to make an RPG next. Hire them???

So I take it the OP wishes for the return of race as class, gold for xp, and rolling stats 3d6 in order??

I say it should be handed over to legendary creator Yoko Taro! Edit: it's age restricted! noooooo! not suitable for Eric's Grandma!!!

Crawl around these forums long enough and you'll find people who tolerate the rules of D&D to access the community and reach it has so they can do the immersive fiction creation/simulation that they actually want. I'm not one of them (and pointing out who I think they are could be too personal...

D&D isn't a game to everyone. Some people treat it as fictional creation experience.

How do your players feel?? Would they rather you be impartial and TPK them or fudge things so they live?

The obviously solution is to have the PLAYER handle a crossbow and dagger IRL and base your in game ruling on how well they use both weapons at the same time.

If you're not willing to TPK your party to maintain impartialness, then you really weren't impartial in the first place. That's not a bad thing; but you gotta be honest with yourself and with your players.

As always, I am the odd one out as there's always awesome new stuff coming out all the time...

The 4E encounters program would be a good model to draw from. You can also take inspiration from the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" cold openers...

D&D uses a design geared towards ease of use? SUPRISE PIKACHU FACE!!!!
