And speaking of affordances, I really like the design language that Paizo adopted towards the end of PF1. It made nice use of visual affordances and color to organize information. It wasn’t used for spells or feats, but it could have been extended to that. Instead, PF2 seems to have regressed...

The use of color is my biggest issue. It doesn’t do enough to separate the elements, so I find visually parsing the power block a bit unpleasant. It’s not as bad as things that use tons of whitespace, which can almost be suffocating, but it could be better. I would drop the alternating colors...

4e was a step in the right direction, but it has its issues. Here’s magic missile across several of these games. 4e Pathfinder 2e Goblin Slayer TRPG Of those, I’d probably rank them in order of preference as Goblin Slayer TRPG, 4e, then Pathfinder 2e (pre-remaster) with the caveat I’ve only...

I like the way Old-School Essentials aims for brevity and usability, but it sometimes is a little too terse. I don’t think it would work as well if it weren’t restating B/X. Notably, Dolmenwood is more verbose than OSE. I agree with @Malmuria about respecting the spread, but it’s not a silver...

This seems more of an issue with games that encourage heavily specialization because the characters are expected to face challenges their specialities can overcome. If I make a bard that can talk an unstoppable force into taking a breather, I probably want to do that on occasion. Otherwise...

@pemerton had the right of it. I’d moved some stuff to the top of the list without adjusting references, which created a couple of off-by-2 errors. One of the reasons why I post =682741&c[users]=kenada&o=date']recaps in the 5-words commentary thread is to provide actual play examples of how the...
