You CAN do a Tier system with levels, but IME people don't like caps. If I were designing it, I would do it separately. But yes, it can be (and is) done with levels in some games.

You know what might be fun? A Star Wars Game Jam, where folks prototype new Star Wars TTRPGs, from one pagers to Robust Systems.

Call them: Rebel Scum Clone Warriors Knights of the Republic (or somesuch nonsense)

My bad. I wonder if DMs Guild stuff sells better.

Yeah, the way I imagine Tiers is that they not only make the numbers bigger (a multiplier or something) they also unlock things that are just impossible in lower tiers. And (unless you want to, of course; I'm not a cop) your campaigns does not cross Tier boundaries.

I feel like a game like Star Wars (and this goes for other genres too, supers in particular and certain flavors of not-D&D fantasy) works well within power tiers. PCs in a campaign stay in whatever tier they started and can advance in competence and experience, but not in actual power level. If...

It is 10 years later. I mean...? What part of this discussion isn't about personal preference and/or opinions. We do not need to start every post with "THE BELOW IS THE OPINION OF [USER] ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT AN OBJECTIVE TRUTH." You feel perfectly comfortably throwing around...

The people joining the hobby today are not the same generation as those that joined the hobby a decade ago, nor are the forces drawing them into the hobby the same. It is not good.

Then why change it at all? Why do half an edition? It doesn't make any sense if the goal is to make D&D a "staple." It is an attempt to have one's cake and eat it too.

We are in an interesting era in which the most ardent and conservative (as it relates to rules and D&Disms) fans have outsized influence. This is partly due to the nature of social media, but it is mostly due to the existence of true alternatives. There have been alternative choices in TTRPGs...

I theorize that if Daggerheart had ben D&D 6E instead, it would have done just fine.

After 10 years, that's good enough for me.

Who has Marvel Unlimited, DC Universe or Comixology? Is it worth it? Which one do you like best?

I am going to be running a one shot of Marvel Multiverse this weekend to give it a whirl. ny suggestions or advice? For reference, the PCs will be the FF and I will be running the Mole Man adventure.

That isn't really how magazines worked. Magazines receive submissions and the editorial staff go through those and pick the things they want to see in the next issue. Sometimes they find gems. Sometimes they are forced to print garbage because that is all they have. That is not the same thing...

It gives you freedom. You can't publish something you released on DMSGuild anywhere else, even if you do not use WotC's IP. Steam doesn't have that limitation.

TIL that Heddi Lamar was an inventor who helped develop the system that powers both torpedoes and bluetooth.

"Need" is a notoriously questionable word in these discussions. We did not "need" a revised 5E, but we got one and some people at least are glad for it. Star Wars has been a mainstay of the licensed TTRPG market for 40 years. We need a new Star Wars as much or as little as we needed the first...

New blood is ALWAYS good for creative development, even if you in particular don't like what that particular person does. The mere infusion of new ideas into the discussion, even if those ideas are ultimately rejects, improves the process. Here's hoping D&D enjoys a real.creative shakeup after...

These people are literally all from the same era.
