I will say that I disagree with this take fundamentally. 4e had both short and long rests, but that was a fundamental aspect of how resource management worked in 4e. Which is to say that, for all its faults (including being "too anime," which also isn't a problem for me), resource management...

This seems vuagely familiar and very important! If you sent it to me on here I bet it is still in my inbox, and I'd be happy to shoot it back to you if you need it.

When presented in this way, I would hate survival games too. Most survival video games, for example, are not my bag. A decent survival TTRPG would need to make resource management strategic and attrition engaging. It would also need to make the image of survival heroic and emotionally...

Ironically, although XP systems create a facade of fairness, 5e XP (and that of systems which inherit it like A5e) doesn't offer much of a compelling standard against which to measure milestones. That is to say, even the crapiest and most unfair milestone leveling standards are likely more...

Apologies for not responding to your blog post right out. As you might have discerned, I like a lot of what you wrote. 4e style skill challenges are a pretty good piece of general tech, makes sense to delpoy it in exploration. Using Supply as currency requiring extra spending in bad...

I think its pretty wildly agreed that if you need home rules to run a certain style of gameplay, that that game engine does not support that style of gameplay. That said, I think I agree with your statement about the "base 5e engine" not being at fault, but it depends on how you define that...

So I rather like both exploration and survival. What I don't care for are superheroes. Increasingly, I am convinced that 5e and its spin-offs are about creating a bespoke fantasy-aesthetic superhero and showing off their cool attacks. (I am one bad afternoon away from calculating how many...

I can think of several reasons why a person would settle out of court besides satisfaction. Expressing the fact politely is a mere professional courtesy. We can find out how satisfactory the negotation was if the details are revealed; however, I suspect the terms of the agreement were themselves...

I'm not sure why that assumption would be made.

Is the "running my own drawing through an AI for enhanced output" really considered an ethical option?

I'm so excited for this. I love the old-school gameplay, and the quality of life improvements are very welcomed. Can't wait to play this game in a spooky dimly-lit room! Just need to add a dragonborn ancestry...

Hi friends, I updated the intro post with my newest update: EQUIPMENT! - CH 4: Equipment -- New weapons, armor, and adventuring gear for a magical-cyberpunk world

That's punk for sure, I love it!

Would there be any other information you need to make this character? :)

@Twiggly the Gnome so tell me about this character? What's his build?

I'll raise you the one done by mid journey. (If you tell me which one you like best I'll finish the render).

I remember this guy, he's bad! Who knew being anti-mage would be so punk!
