I don't see much to disagree with here. I'll say on a purely anecdotal level I have found it easier to drum up support to play games that aren't 5E for the last little bit now, which is nice. So whatever that means more broadly I don't know. But hey, I want to play a whole bunch of games so...

This reads to me like Mike is sort of going to bat that the idea of a revised OGL wasn't all bad. Which, especially as a now independent game designer, strikes me as strange for the many, many reasons we discussed at the time. But yeah, while I disagree with the idea that I can stab a giant...

I'm preparing to run a 4E home game and creating tactically interesting and balanced encounters for every fight from scratch just seems like too much work with everything else I have to do so I just decided to run Scales of War and I'll just add some notes to the stat blocks (because I think...

The 5E conversions leave me cold. But that's true of all of Goodman's 5e content. I always thought they could carve out a niche in 5e content by infusing some of that Appendix weirdness into it, not as much as in DCC, but still. But no, total normcore stuff. That's why this sort of appeals...

Yep, forget about Hold Person working on a CR 1/2 goblin. You're living in dreamland now.

Agreed this would be much better. Give me a little blurb telling me some common humanoid abilities to overlay right there in the section. This is like, when they said to just use some generic vampire stat block for Strahd. Like dude, I'm paying you to do the work for me.

Right, like, if we're training it off of our posts, that's not good. Like, I post here, and all my posts are objectively garbage. Before we'll know it it's going to start red texting any thread not about watching Knightrider in their underpants or whatever.

Oh, lord no

Well, change both their names and post them in this thread.

You know, I don't think it's related to the game in particular or my own ability to make one. Hell, I've made characters in really crunchy simulationist games like Dragonquest and HERO etc. But I think the main issue is, if anyone is even passably familiar with 4E and they only know a couple of...

Absolutely, but I mean, would you trust me to hand you a flash drive and go "Trust me, bro". My friends know me better than that.

Yeah, I know it's still around if you look hard enough. It's just kinda sketch to sell people on, just more friction, you know?

Bilbo looks like the old guy in the wig from the first Gladiator movie who was the colosseum announcer or whatever.

Taken when they were being good for like, five seconds. Macho Man Randy Savage on top and Sensational Sherri on the bottom.

I want to get a 4E game going, if for nothing else just a nice change of pace. And honestly the biggest impediment to get people on board? The fact that making characters, especially with all the books and errata, without the character builder is such a chore. If somebody makes a 4E clone and...

That's where I'm at too. And, that's quite an achievement in current year where everything is owned by just the most evil corporations/people. No ethical consumption and all that, but come on dude.

Yeah, I was just saying be careful what you wish for. If the question is: 4E combat is more like FFT/Tactics Ogre/Vandal Hearts etc than WoW, yes or no? I would absolutely agree. I'm more of a Front Mission guy when it comes to Japanese style strategy RPGs though, if we're just talking about...
