It seems like the best way to make NPCs and monsters make more sense in the context of the world, including their ability to challenge PCs, is to divorce them even further from the mechanics that the PCs use. Kind of ironic. Just giving them flat numbers, "has a +10 to hit, does 3d6+6 damage...

The SJ set was poorly done with a few good bits here and there; the PS set was better (not saying it was The Best), it didn't feel rushed and I don't think they copy+pasted text from 2e supplements for it like SJ 😅 So if they give Dark Sun the Planescape treatment, that'll be decent enough...

That's an interesting point, I hadn't thought of it like that.

Do you think it's fair to call it knee-jerk? But I understand how you say you expected something more "thoughtful," that's part of what the surprise was for me in reading the post... That it seems to repeat the common issues that I've seen voiced, rather than.. I don't know, try to come up with...

A very surprising post by Keith Ammann of TMKWTD. I'm passingly familiar with the blog, I check it out every now and again and I've always been interested to see how Keith breaks down monsters and suggests how they'd work in a fight. This is surprising to me, at least, because in the 5e-sphere...

They have a dedicated fanbase, plus the reputation they've gotten from doing quality work over the years. Years ago I went to a PAX East talk Colville gave entitled "How to Monetize your Youtube audience" in the Kickstarter room. His audience, style, and industry connections let them do big...

Curious @Reynard I posted in that subreddit that the page was down but it looks like it's not according to Wrenegade's link. What URL did the ad send you to? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wrenegade-dan/k-pop-5e-hunters-shadows-of-the-neon-dark

Here you go, this could help solve the mystery, it's written by Wrenegade and specifically mentions this ttrpg

Yeah if multiclassing is on the table those feats are nearly pointless.

Looking forward to these articles, especially the plot feats and rumors!

This is indeed the best. Thank you for the work!

Yup.

It seems like two things are being discussed here: giving monsters depth/"humanizing" them, and complex morality/shades of grey stories in your games. Giving monsters depth is awesome, it makes the world feel more real. Does that require humanizing them? No. But humanizing them can also be...

Yeah, definitely looking for some structure to make use of. Some folk benefit from instruction, some guardrails, they don't jive with open-ended stuff as well.

Yeah, these are the sorts of things I was looking for. I've improvised a few at session 0's but was never fully satisfied with them. I don't see a collection of Warriors of the World Ablaze, just playbooks released on the designers patreon. Dang.

What tools do y'all have for establishing connections between PCs at session 0?

Currently folk are waiting to see if PDFs are included with the physical copies- as it stands they are not, but the company is waiting to hear back from the licensor if that'll fly.

That's somewhat comforting, I appreciate that info :)
