Honestly? "We're working on updating your favorite class, but it's taking awhile" is... completely fine by me. Page count and man-hours are limited resources, and it makes sense to do the most mainstream stuff first-- because the people who like the mainstream stuff are, by definition, more...

I don't joink the 1e Ranger, because I never fully understood the Aragorn connections behind its class abilities... ... but I did give Ranger improved Thief skills and improved spell access. (Starting at 4th, like I did for Paladin and Assassin). Climb Walls, Move Silently, and Hide in Shadows...

People online are complaining that Adam's nameplate has his pronouns on it; they're complaining that a character named "He-Man" has pronouns. Gonna leave that there. I didn't notice the pronouns, because I was looking at the fact that his name is "Adam Glenn"; a He-Man writer and props designer...

Oooof. I have got big feels on this subject. I was an ardent fan of D&D through the 90s and most of the 00s, but the mechanical paradigm and the play culture pivoted away from my sensibilities so fast and so hard that it's hard to remember it's not intentional. (Of course I know it isn't, but I...

Oh, no. WeaponLord -- modern AA remake, preferably hand-drawn HD sprites, the same systems but with more rational inputs. Larger roster, more gameplay modes. Just generally try again for a time and an FGC that's ready to pick up what it was putting down. Phantasy Star -- not a specific PS...

The Cornetto trilogy: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End. Star Wars, OT. The Dollars trilogy. Koi... Mil Gaya, Krrish, and Krrish 3. The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Terminator: Dark Fate. (This is too a trilogy; if you remove the sub-par middle sequels, it...

Yeah, I just clicked on this two year old thread to say that's the way Palladium does it. And Rolemaster has you roll to gain (or lose) abilities every level. My first AD&D group did best 3 of 5d6, reroll 1s and 2s, and if you got five of a kind, you added the number to 18 (so 18 + 1-6 for 19-24).

The only game I'm playing that came out in 2025 is a remake of a game that came out in 1997. (FFT) Otherwise, I'm still playing a ton of Jupiter Hell and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. Looking forward to Marvel Tokon, the Rance series... and I suspect we're probably not going to...

Hell with it, I'll put some skin in the game. This isn't how I'm handling my settings, but this should give you a pretty good idea of what I'm doing. Shroompunk The Pitch: Countless Worlds of adventure connected by a living, growing-- some say sentient-- megadungeon known as the Warp Zone...

Dromites, fraal, and goblins... but I don't play Small races very often. In Star Wars, though, I will play an ewok any chance I get.

It existed prior to Gaz13 as well; it was alluded to in Gaz10 The Orcs of Thar. 14 year old me thought this was dope.

I prefer settings without Fighter/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard. And settings without Elf/Dwarf/Halfling/Orc are something I like to toy around with. Doing this in 5e is hard for me. There just aren't enough 1PP classes and I'm not familiar enough with 3PP to really make it work. Using 3.PF classes...

Though I am partial to a good Indian butter chicken.

Speaking of being able to drive nails with anything if it's heavy and hard enough: You can use Cortex Prime to build an incredibly traditional old school game, like a cross between Runequest or Pendragon and The BoL Hack.

I see you and I'll raise you: Filipino. You're welcome. My go-to is usually Spelljammer; a lot of people are telling you Eberron. My next 3.X game is probably going to be in a kind of Eberron/Rokugan Spelljammer. My current 5e game is more or less generic D&D plus Phantasy Star, more or less...

Group SNE is the Japanese publisher of Sword World and Record of Lodoss War. It's coincidental, but Japanese D&D adaptations/spinoffs are a lot closer to what I think of as "old school D&D" than either "new school" D&D or most of the OSR. I wish I'd known that twenty or thirty years ago. Iron...

Oh, I am not planning to. Just thinking out loud about what I'd like to see-- my WIP owes more to Group SNE and ICE than TSR and I'm only vaguely hoping it'll be of interest to the broader OSR community. There's a lot of overlap between what I'm trying to do with my house system and what I'd do...

I actually meant that if I were doing good and helpful things with my powers, I'd out myself in a matter of days. I don't need validation the way other people do, but I gloat. Whereas if I could resist the temptations of heroism-- which I really couldn't-- and just stuck to being a bastard, the...

Juggalo makeup. Whoop whoop!
