I'm always multiclassed. I'm always gish, and I'm always a skillmonkey. If a game doesn't allow me to meaningfully indulge that fantasy, I don't play that game.

I think there are a number of reasons why we can't compare Baldur's Gate 3 directly with a published Adventure Path. Most of them (that I can recognize) have been brought up on this thread already, but I think there might be some value in gathering them together: The Origin Characters, and the...

I don't have a problem with it conceptually, but I think it's too much benefit for too little investment-- any Druid's going to have a WIS in the 16-20 range and most Druids are going to have the minimum 13 DEX to qualify and not much more. They'll be one level behind on spells and ASIs as a...

Lot of love for Alternity here, warms my heart. It's #1 on my list, with the "standard" AlternityRPG.net house rules and the original campaign settings: Star•Drive Dark•Matter Gamma World (5e rules with 4e content) I'd like to see Star Frontiers and Buck Rogers XXVc again... as modified D&D...

First... as above, this is an Out of Character problem and it asks for an OOC solution. Talk to the player. Second... ask your problem player to write up her next character-- "as evil as she wants"-- but ask her to provide you a list of people, or institutions, or principles that her character...

Except companies do it all the time, and it usually works out for them. I'm not endorsing their values or even their strategy; I'm just pointing out that "choosing a side" and deliberately alienating a chunk of your audience that you didn't have a good grip on in the first place... is a strategy...

You need to remember that unless Paramount pulls their license-- which they may or may not even be able to do without a clearly-defined cause-- that said "bad publicity" would gain them many more sales than it would lose them. Approximately half of American voters agree (or are at least vote for...

It's hard for me to give the system a simple grade because it was attached to several of my least favorite roleplaying games, and also to one of my favorite games of all time. I could-- but I won't-- go on at length about everything I hate about the World/Chronicles of Darkness games, and the...

Implicit in every argument that the narrative-- fluff-- description of a class is not rules-relevant and that classes only describe the discrete mechanical abilities of the class is an argument that they should be allowed to play like that at any table they sit down to. They are just as much...

There's that 3pp Warlock conversion for PF1 that never got officially published-- The Avowed-- that had the literal option to use yourself as your Warlock patron. Alongside the standard options (fae/fiend/dragon/genie/goo), warlocks of nationalism, etc etc etc.

I'm not opposed, because I want SW fans to get their fix, but Palladium's house system is easier for me to convert to the systems I use.

Even Palladium sells all of their products in PDF now, through DTRPG. This is Viacom.

That's how Gygax designed them when he separated Race and Class in AD&D. It's not the only way they can be designed and I've been saying all along-- well, since the advent of the OSR-- that it was a mistake, both to make species choice so irrelevant in D&D and to have even separated it from...

For me, I love the "zero to hero" power curve... the fact that I can start off as a local hero protecting a small village from goblin raiders, and by the end of the game I'm murdering the god of all goblinkind by throwing planets at him. Much as I hate the proliferation of nearly identical...

A wild wolf knows he'll eat every pineapple he meets until the last.

It is my favorite book ever. I've reread it on an almost yearly basis since I was eight years old.

George Lucas didn't plan to make one trilogy until the first movie made so much money he had to. He has a habit of having "planned it all along" only after flying by the seat of his pants and sticking the landing.

Happy Tree Friends is Chuck Norris' favorite Christmas movie.

It's like a druid, wearing metal armor non-diegetically.

Hey, I've never had good caviar before, but if it's really that much better than the stuff I have had... I'm not sure I'm ready.
