What's both funny and terrible about this post; It's by a publisher about a publisher. That doesn't happen often expect in our hobby/industry. Note this publisher is a FAN of the other publisher's work. :-) It demonstrates the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" principle to outstanding...

"independently managed" is not how the ex-employee stories read IMHO. There seems to be a lot of influence there especially from the legal department regarding the OGL (as per GSL 4e stories...).

Fixed. :-D It's Hasbro (will travel) not WOTC per se. I think the legal wrangling comes from up on (really) high.

Well, I think you've brought up a lot of points discussed in length here on EnWorld. I will share my thoughts (as an aside, that font size is horrible for us grognards to read...). 5) Serious Lack of Digital Tools - Frankly, I have ditched the laptop and setup at the game table and banned all...

I've read through the MC3e quick start and really liked what I see. First, you roll 2d20 and try to get at least one die rolled UNDER the TN which is generally your ability score. If you have ranks in expertise in the skill, you increase the TN by those ranks. You also have "focus" in the skill...

This is a good point. You should have a "scout" who can benefit from one person assisting. The group goes where the scout leads them. If you hire a local or expert, you can have the group scout be the assistant and "keep an eye" on the path forward. I would also use passive Perception a lot.

You can download the BETA quickstart for free on DTRPG! The system actually looks really well done. Much fun is going to be had with this edition!

I made some Injury Rules that apply longer term affects for this like being reduced to 0 hit points. I would love more feedback on them! D&D 5e - TreChriron - Public Share

1) mlund - so you're a typical cold corporate shrill. So? I'm saying your attitude and business approach are bunk. The system is broken. If you're supporting it, you're approach is broken. You can hire freelancers under contract with the idea to ramp up a project without lying to them and giving...

IF there is another reason (like sexual harassment, summoning restricted type demons in the office, using the copier to spread viruses to North Korea...), then I take back my disgust with Hasbro. I reserve my general distaste of corporate America however. Our system IS broken.

This is why we lamented the sale of WOTC to Hasbro in the first place. Corporate America is broken. There is no investment in people anymore. If Paizo can run a private company twice the size of the D&D division without layoffs it's fairly obvious that something is amiss at Hasbro WOTC. I just...

Thanks Redthistle! I am going to update the fear so there's two different types. One "ambient" and one "present". I think they should operate a tad differently and will help clear up any confusion. There was some confusion at my table last night, so I want to make it clearer. Also, I would not...

Yeah, I think level 5 is most fearsome. I max out DCs at 30. With the double save on Terror, wouldn't that only happen once in a great while? I mean if you have a game that features some horror elements (like mine does), do you feel it's a playable rule?

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_lJhbSwBglnWVctajViTkgyaU0&usp=sharing Here is my take on Fear (called Ambient Fear) and Terror. This is version 1 (rough draft). Let me know what you think! Again, I am play-testing this, but more people involved will make a more solid option!

I updated to version 3 including a save now that can limit Injury to one level per combat. Let me know what you think! https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_lJhbSwBglnWVctajViTkgyaU0&usp=sharing

Check out Atomik Psioniks, it's a generic plug in for any game system. The free "how to use" document shows you how you can use the Atomik supplements with level-based and d20 based systems.

I find your all-inclusive statement and admonishment to be absurd. I appreciate that you nor your group wants to play a Hentai game. Awesome! Lots of people don't like sex in their adventure games nor would they like to explore erotic themes in their games. But if a bunch of adults get together...

On the subject of "Savage Worlds is eating up GURPS 4e market because #oldness" - no. No no no. SW is a light fast game. This market is largely comprised of aging adults who no longer have time to prep or deal with complex games. Not only is SW lighter and faster to pick up, but plot point...

That's an excellent point. I wonder if assigning levels of injury at the end of combat would allow us to introduce something like a save for half? Example: During combat take a "potential injury" for each event (from that list). At the end of combat make a CON save vs. DC 10 + 5 per potential...
