What ASIs do I get for growing up in hospitals and baby jails, compared to the kids with rich parents who loved them?

You and WotC have replaced the "biological" essentialism.of fictional fantasy beings with classism based on the social classes that have always existed in human society and still exist today. Congratulations, I feel much more included now.

My plan is functionally identical to @doctorbadwolf in the OP-- I'd split the teams into Classic, Advanced (including PO), 3.PF1 (minus Paizo's PI), 4e, and 5e-- but I would assign ownership to the top 200 D&D content creators, including Critical Role and Dropout, Larian and Owlcat, Paizo and...

I've got some axes I've been grinding for a long time about elements of TSR D&D that I think WotC/Paizo D&D sorely lacks, but to spare this thread those arguments I'll stick to things that are basically within 5e's design philosophy. I agree 💯 with @the Jester about lowering hit points, and...

I have my issues with the worldbuilding and implied worldbuilding of D&D and its faux polytheism. In my current homebrew project, I'm breaking it up more or less by creature type: angels have Acolytes (and Holy Knights); genies, dragons, and elementals have Sorcerers (think Wu Jen/Shugenja...

I have put a lot of thought into Gestalt games where one "side" of everyone's progression is locked to a single class or a tight family of classes. But I've never actually run one.

Erryone needs more Honey Badger in their life.

besh-mee. I was going through a loglan phase when I started getting back into older D&D editions.

We already got the movie where Peter Parker was played by Tom Holland, and Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire. Now I want the movie where Tom Holland plays Peter Parker, and Ben Reilly, and Kaine, and Jessica Drew. And the only actor I want to see as Wolverine in the MCU is Dafne Keen.

Not the least? If I listed my Top 5 favorite tabletop roleplaying games, "D&D" would be four of them. But there are other games, other games I like, and other games I want to play. I could give up "D&D" and still game fervently for the rest of my life-- I just don't gave any reason to do that.

Modern D&D and PF are too much, in the wrong places. AD&D is... yeah. I'd say my sweet spot is around B/X clones with expanded, AD&D style, class lists. Or any version of Barbarians of Lemuria with beefier magic/powers options. Or Street Fighter.

My favorite published D&D setting is Spelljammer. I'm more or less a fan of Dragonstar. I played a fair chunk of Urban Arcana in d20 Modern. It depends on the setting. Always thought it was weird how many people have huge problems with primitive guns, while there's late-period ("bulletproof")...

Other people have thoroughly covered my fondest wish-- opening up CC and DMG development for legacy editions-- but I would feel remiss if I did not voice my support for it. I am pretty much not a customer anymore, and this would make me (and a lot of people like me) throw them at least some...

Physical books and in-person play. Don't care about digital dice or digital character sheets, and I don't normally use minis and maps-- if I did, I'd be okay with replacing them with digital tools. But I need to have physical books and I need to play face to face to face around a real table.

I'm almost always the umpire when I play D&D, and when I've run D&D in the past 15-20 years it's almost always been SJ-based homebrew... or Mario-based homebrew... as those are my favoritest fantasy-type settings. I raid other D&D settings for elements, for concepts and content, but at the end...

Uhm... no? He was originally written as an elf, of a species and an ethnicity that has never existed on Earth that has cosmetic features-- eyes, hair, and skin colors among others-- that have never existed singly or in combination in any human population or human being that has ever existed on...

I ever get someone to run a Legends of Grayskull (or other MOTU) game for me, I've already made it clear that I will be playing Marlena of Earth, First of Her Name, Queen of Eternia, Empress of the Etherian Alliance, Protector of the Honor of Grayskull: She-Ra.

Light rules, "Modern" Era (early 2000s, honestly; I feel like that Era has ended already), idealistic and genre-affirming. My default setting for a superheroes game is to run Marvel Heroic Roleplaying with the premise (and the homebrew ruleset) of the eXiles comics, except with a broader...

Obvioiusly Leia. Adora from She-Ra. Peach.

I was about to answer that I have, but not for twenty years or so-- but then I remembered I played a character for two-three sessions in a Waterdeep Dragon Heist game a couple years ago.
