I have no problem paying 20-40 bucks for a good "full-length" book such as core, bestiaries etc in PDF format. Paying 120-150 for a 10 year old AP and support book/s - yeah, I have problems with that. If I actually play it I will definitely have a low cost per hour of fun, but it will still be...

Shure. Despite your snarky and sarcastic tone I will enlighten you. Regarding pottery it has an interesting history, from purely functional containers, via vessels with religious and sociocultural connotations, to todays hypercommercialized products. But besides being a product, pottery has...

Seconded, great system!

I have no problem with subscriptions, but I hate micro transactions. I did happily sub to Beyond, just like I now sub to The Forge to house Foundry. Since me and my table have quit 5e and won't play D&D in the foreseeable future, I'm not gonna spend a cent on it. There are lots of other games...

Every which way they can.

I've given up on 5e, but my all-time favorite D&D monster is Illithids. High intellect, out of this world, brain sucking tentacled aliens, what's not to like!

Since I've become an unashamed fanboy of Savage Worlds Pathfinder, I was thinking about picking up the Iron Gods AP for conversion. But Holy Macaroni those old Paizo PDFs are expensive! I can get a current popular system core book from DriveThru for the same price as one part of the old Paizo...

As a GM I keep fond memories from most campaigns, often about how players change the course of the campaign or show amazing creativity that I can develop to whole new plot archs. In my latest campaign, finished a month ago after two years, I had planted a few plot hooks around the little...

Well, the party is in dept with bounty hunters on their heels, and they really need that 200 g to make a downpayment to the crime boss to get a couple of weeks respite. Goblins are goblins as people say. Except Bob the Gob in our party, he's a tough mofo who does what needs to be done. And so...

When I started gaming in the early 80ies I found GM:ing way more fun that being a player. It still is.

Well, imho the tone of Bladerunner is at its core about moral and existential dilemmas, embedded in a cool milieu, some action and tears in rain. For me personally it's an example of a setting and tropes that are amazing to watch on screen or read, but that - at least for my table - doesn't...

"The guard captain from Kergan Trading company will give you 200 gold if you take care of the goblin tribe in Wusswood that have been attacking their caravans."

Thankfully my players are very good at making technically bad characters, and always go for interesting concepts rather that the most efficient system breaker. They are also pretty good min-maxers in many systems, and that they don't tend to use that is the reason I love them at my table. I...

This, and I'm fine with it too. I'm old and have fond memories of older editions, and while I've had fun with 5e too the developments during the last few years is clearly targeting other demographics and consumer groups. OneD&D seem to go even further in that direction, and that's ok - like...

This is the correct answer. If one need an explanation, there are way too few coastal or ocean themed necromancers in the game. Why have a black tower when you can have a black galley. Aaarrr matey!

Imho attrition style combat in 5e becomes a boring slog long before the game breaks at lvl 10-12. That's the main reason why me and my table has gone to Savage Pathfinder for D&Dish fantasy. More build diversity, social conflict rules, dramatic task etc are cherries on top. We focus on roleplay...

My point was to show that you can make a game with faithful 5E mechanics for very little money, instead of being lazy Larian style and put a shallow 5E varnish on top of an existing non-D&D system with non-D&D mechanics. I have never made any claims that Solasta is a glorious, tripple-A game...

Yes, since you find that my plural s is worth so many letters and semantic nitpicking to contradict, you are right, there is one game. With BG3 on the horizon I guess not many studios found it worth to take the market fight. But as you seem to have trouble extracting my point, I'll try to be...

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a game with 5e ruleset that has done a pretty good job with a fraction of Larians budget.

It's not like the BG3 development haven't cost a fortune in time and money already. Freeing up time to create that long and involved story may be moot when you play through that story with DOS2 mechanics instead of 5e feel.
