Quite frankly a lot of parties can get themselves stymied if they always ignore Wizards, because invariably they will form themselves like @ECMO3 's group did over in their "How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret...

Anyone using Bastions? That was 5E24's "experimental" rule system that WotC had never done before. If anyone says they need WotC to be experimental but doesn't actually use the one thing that could satisfy their needs for experiment is a pretty good indication why one's demand for...

Or maybe just maybe the number of people such as yourself who actually want an entirely different system for psionic powers in Dungeons & Dragons isn't nearly as abundant as you might think it is? 🤷 But you have plenty of other non-WotC options to get what you want... so stop concerning...

That could be a valid reason, but in that case why bother making all four pairs of Disciplines? If they wanted Psions to focus or lean towards Enchantment and Illusion as they are the most "psion-y"... then just make a single Discipline that worries about those types of spells. But don't...

I added and combined the Neverwinter Campaign Setting to my Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign (plus with the Essentials Kit) to create an even more in-depth Neverwinter Wood / Triboar Trail adventuring area. Adding places like the Dread Ring, Sharandar, and a more complete Helm's Hold etc. gave...

Silver Marches (softcover sourcebook)

As has been said over the last 11 years of 5E's existence... if someone wants a spell-less Psion there are countless options out there you could have been using this entire time. Not a single person should be wasting their time waiting for WotC to make it. It is pointless.

Why are you bothering to compare 2E to 5E? They're different games. You might as well compare the psionics of 5E to the psionics one can create in Champions when making a Professor X type of character while you're at it. ;) There's no point.

The one thing that they still haven't done is balance the Psion spell list to make all four of the Spell School-paired Psionic Disciplines each worth taking. After a quick count up (my numbers may be slightly off)... the number of spells from each pairing are as follows for the first three...

Of those 200 video game people they would hire... only a handful of them would have the skillet and desire to work on hardcover RPG products. Unless you think a 3D assets designer would rather be a cartographer but just hasn't gotten around to it. Or the expert at Unreal Engine would really...

One other issue I have always had with using Investigation only for deducing things is that most of the time if there is something I want figured out, I want the players to be the ones to figure it out. That's the point of me putting in some mystery-type moment in the adventure in the first...

Because I always found 5E's Perception skill too overused in the beginning, I made a very switch very early on in all my campaigns that aligns with what some other folks have mentioned here: Wisdom (Perception) is to find any living creature that has hidden themselves. They make a Dexterity...

It's up to each DM. No DM is forced to make things vampires or not make them vampires, doesn't matter what the books say. The books give you an idea of what could happen, or what the default happening might be... but no one is beholden to it. A Vampire biting a creature and turning them into...

Look, we're talking about a teenage girl who stepped up to Dungeon Master for the very first time, running a game for a bunch of adults, trying to get her feet under her as she learns this process and skill. And because it's her first time, she is probably trying to replicate the types of...

Are you actually looking to have a productive conversation with me? Cause you have ignored quite a bit of my points to try and get your own over. But whatever. Believe what you want and I will do the same.

Absolutely! 100%. I suspect I just believe there are more of those player/DM dynamics found across the globe than you do. :)

I'm claiming that any game that was made because someone played D&D and found something missing in D&D that they wanted in their D&D so they made their own ruleset in response to D&D is a 'fantasy heartbreaker'. 🤷 Is that too broad of a definition? Maybe. Who's to say? But it's what I have...

That's true, and was exactly @Not a Decepticon 's point to me earlier in the thread, which I can acknowledge. And I can't deny that feeling that some people have towards the term, just like some people see the term 'railroad' as having the same dismissive light rather than just being a...

I would agree that 'in the world of Eberron' that is what is supposed to happen, and if this was a novel series then absolutely the protagonists would have no problem doing so, talking and working with everyone and anyone. But I'm saying as a practical matter at the game table... I personally...

Eh... we can all get into the weeds trying to truly define what 'fantasy heartbreaker' actually is supposed to mean... but as we have seen in The Great Railroad Thread, no one is ever going to agree on a singular definition. So if you don't want to define Daggerheart as an FH... that's fine...
