I think this is a good way to approach things.

I would think one example would definitely be insufficient to prove anything, if proving such a thing were even possible. "better than human art" is how to say you haven't seen enough "human art" without saying you haven't seen enough "human art".

Paradigms of Skill, by Jesse Mullins, from Plant Witch Press. It's provides a 1-6 (1d6) range of Critical Success and Critical Failure results for all of the 5E and A5E skills. It's $5 on DriveThruRPG. I like it! I want to re-write a few things just to suit my tastes. It's kind of uncanny that...

I wonder if it would be feasible and worth their time to add AI features that make DMing easier for neurodivergent folks. Obviously, there are lots of ways one can be neurodivergent, but the example I can think of is making it easier to run combats by - on a turn by turn basis - make it...

Building next character to die. (CoC)

Currently playing a fighter Battle Master, and the combination of the new Weapon Mastery Properties, Combat Maneuvers, and Two-Weapon Fighting is kind of ridiculous.

I've been playing the UA fighter for a while, and I have some thoughts. This got me wondering what other peoples' experiences have been with the UA playtest class revisions. I like that the fighter has a new layer of options in combat now. A lot of this comes from Weapon Mastery, but also...

I've run a LU ranger in a WOTC 5E game, and it worked just fine. The LU classes are technically more powerful than standard 5E classes, but most of the extra stuff is non-combat, so it fleshes out the classes rather than making them more awesome at killin' stuff. I've also used the exploration...

Killed a lot of bugs.

The industry and hobby is probably holding its breath to some extent, waiting to see how the 2024 edition and DDB's new features play out.

Understandable, and I'm roughly in the same place. I'm running the UA playtest fighter right now, and although the changes are improvements in my opinion, they are marginal, house-rule-able/hand-wave-able, and maybe a day late and dollar short - meaning other 5E games and supplements have...

Oozing, fey, man-faced wolf decimated.

re a sci-fi alternative: I have a vivid memory of being both enthralled and overwhelmed by all the chits and bits in...a sci-fi wargame whose name I can't recall...but it was the mid '70s. My oldest brother had it, and he would have been in his late teens at that point. And then I remember...

Very timely topic for me, since I have been sifting through my gaming pdfs today and organizing them by style, simplicity, etc. I lean toward wanting rues that are simple but that incentivize drama. I don't mind a bit of crunch if it helps the drama happen - for instance I'm trying track down...

Aesthetics is essential to me. You could have the perfect game for me, design-wise, but if it hurts my eyes I'm gonna move on. There have been rare exception, where I heard about something that was right up my alley and I forced my way past the visuals, but the visuals are such a big part for me...

I went with The Enterprise-B, because I LOVE the lines of that design. But obviously the TOS or the TMP refit is the right answer: TOS is the simple, clean, groundbreaking design that started it all, and the TMP redesign is sleek as all get-out and by many accounts the best scale model ship...

I DON"T want to GM because I sweat the details and wind up being very stressed out the whole time. It's like a somewhat low-grade panic attack that just keeps going. I don't know how to break out of that. If I prep a lot then I wind up missing the forest for the trees. If I take a low- or...

Agreed. For those who didn't see the show or clips of this: for the Best and Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards, they had 5 previous winners of the award come out on stage to announce each of the five new nominees and describe their work in the role they were nominated for, speaking...

I'm glad you mentioned this because I quit on KotFM about half-way in, in part because she had all but disappeared from the movie by then. Early on the movie gives the impression that she's a main character, but from what i gather it's mostlt a Leo and DeNiro movie. Anyway, I found it too full...
