Oh no, its an American thing. Self-depreciation is definitely more British. Defiance and blame are very American---ultimately of the system or government (which are the same thing but are not the same thing). Americans are individualists, who insist that somebody else needs to fix the problem.

Cooking is so not about following directions...its about taste and knowing basic techniques. With that, the direction part is easier, without it the direction part will be far less intuitive . (Baking is more about directions, but you will note that professionals often distinguish between the...

So there are almost 20 D&D books in the top 1000?? D&D - 2% of books.

Anecdotally I see lots of interest in fighters, some in rogues, less in say land druids--which was finally confirmed to be a powerful option, and even less in wizards. They are hard to recruit for, though people like it when they try it. On the other hand, multi-class options that try to do...

SDCC stands for San Diego Comic-Con.

I am not surprised. You don't represent by removing representation. But they should get it right.

In practice my games are no more lethal than 30+ years ago. They remain as heavy on “ challenge the player”. I may have made some adjustments one way then, and others ways now. But the pain remains about the same.

Vitality is one I have seen used recently in this context that will apparently not be spelt out.

I did see infantry in square formation. Thats something.

Looks interesting, but it’s a bit enigmatic on what it is. Preview? Example? Sample?

I am still good with ki/qi/ch’i. But would also be good with getting rid of points. For the monk class.

There are some great deals. But the MM will see change, some of those numbers are so off. As for options, yes, we also now all the MM 2024 spellcasters will change. It could be good to have choices!

Is the monks max 120 ogre mage followers a typo? What would you do with a 100 ogre mages?

So much here…to start I really want to see the write-ups for the buffoon, demon (class!), valkyrie, and witch.

So just stopping by the thread and completely making stuff up?

I think Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax had many ideas. Some of which actually worked.

It’s kind of all of the above. I am flexible, on both sides of the table. But I don’t let skills be “win” buttons, unless it’s a clear outcome of what the player was trying to do. And if that is unclear, I just ask what exactly they are doing.

I have also seen "class" features picked up through background, race, and subclass--that can work well. Multi-classing might let you do things you can't otherwise, but it almost never seems to be a powerup in practice.

Yes paladin/hexblade. A lot of warlock multiclassing. Some fighter multiclassing, but not those listed above.

Also there--shotguns and broadswords--in space! And the coveted 5 ton computer.
