The Western Reaches Player's Guide has all the Classes from Cursed scroll so that would be the cheapest option if you are most focussed on classes.

To prove a point, here is Addict without examples of play and all the painstaking reference cut out. 4 Pages. # ADDICT - LITE Compiled by David M. Prata (“DMPrata”), shortened by aiouh Version 2.2 (19 March 2006) ENCOUNTERS, COMBAT, AND INITIATIVE I. Determine if either or both parties are...

Just for perspective, the Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive rules just for Turn Structure (Rule 500f) is already 15 (full) pages. Just because the rules document is long doesn't mean its necessarily convoluted or complex in a bad way...

Maybe the real Invincible Overlord was Capitalism all along

I stand corrected. I only read the SRD and its not in there. I take it Dungeon World was snubbed specifically because of the problematic co-author so fair enough.

The fact that the creators of this game are directly borrowing core gameplay mechanics from the Apocalypse World/Dungeon World/Blades games without a single mention to market it to a 5e audience really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

So do we all agree that the abilities and features seem to take a lot of cues from the Psychic Powers (no spoilers) you manifest in Baldur's Gate 3?

I love how Psion's class feature is that they can bypass Verbal and Material requirements for a spell, as if any DM actually accounts for that in a meaningful way. Kinda bummed that Somatic is still a requirement.

Basic Fantasy is my favorite pet game I never had the pleasure of running or playing. It modernizes B/X style gaming, has a completely free ShareAlike license, has an active group of contributors (modules, supplemental rules) and the game is sold at cost on Amazon alongside its free PDFs on its...

I misunderstood the thread question. I had ran Shadowdark vanilla before but just apply houserules to different tables and one shot settings because I will most likely never play with these players again and want them to experience a ‘vertical slice’ without contriving the pressing quest by...

I disagree that the tweaks are a lot or make the game less tough. The percentage of hitting a spell is plenty high, as only spellcasters get spellcasting. Letting one spell go off is a negligible bonus. The average HP of a lvl 1 character is 3-5hp and the average damage die for a lvl 1 monster...

Shadowdark Before: Spells work at least once before fizzling in any given day. Lvl 1 Magic User becomes nigh useless if spell is forgotten in a dungeon, this reduces massive feelsbad situations while still maintaining the "survival horror" aspect of the game During a session: Flanking +1 to...

Usually I'll already start houseruling during session 0 or 1 if I already know players are looking for a certain type of experience or game and adjust accordingly.

Really torn on the portrait vs landscape mode thing. On one hand it is nice they tried something new with the landscape format On the other hand, flipping landscape books is just a pain. (I will not argue this, the laws of physics are on the side of having a longer spine than horizontal) And...

WotC can afford to pay real artists and has a backlog of fantastic fantasy artists. I am a lot less lenient for D&D than I would for some indie game on itch.io

WotC and Digital Gaming makes up over half of total revenues of Hasbro and about 80-90% of total Profits for Hasbro because Consumer Products aren't profitable at the moment. (Whether that is owed due to some IFRS BS I can't tell at this point) Magic makes up over half of the WotC Revenue, but...
