Pretty much. I bet someone could abstract it out, like for a game theory course, but I doubt it would hit the points that OP wants.

If I'm reading you right, Modos RPG is set up to do this. The rules are modular and catalogued, so any variant has its own subset of new and/or modified rules. Grab a free copy from DTRPG - the catalog is in the back. D&D 6 seems to be taking a stab at this with its "glossary" of rules, but...

Ah. And it had WAR, who's awesome.

I'll get back to you after I figure out how "D&D PbtA" works.

Wasn't it just D&D 3 with a Combat Maneuver Bonus?

Magitech for me. I like my fantasy primitive. Or at least pre-industrial. Ah, the lovely smell of the chamber pots in the morning...

Long journeys? You should act a little like a reality show producer, and ask the characters how they feel about each other or something that's happened. Bring up a character's background, and they can talk it out as they walk or against the backdrop of another encounter. Failing that, see Pee...

I'll compete!

The thread is in General, but "DM" implies WotC products. Are stat blocks required for competing?

Welp, now I know whom Tales from the Stinky Dragon is. Probably not going to watch the rest though. Live-plays go slow enough when the DM has read the adventure beforehand.

Does that make you the GM? If so, how would you like PF for SW to handle casters in armor?

https://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/adventure/ . . . needs to be said. But . . . Dungeons (ruins?) change too, for various reasons. Many creatures need shelter. Earthquakes/giant worms. Treasures get discovered, treasures get hidden. The king needs a new wine cellar. Matt Colville's...

1) It's great! 2) I haven't really thought about eating dragons until I saw this gal. You might single-handedly accelerate their fate to that of the mammoth by making them smell delicious.

Well, that's pretty cool! I notice you write "d20-based" instead of "5e compatible." Does that mean the die does the heavy lifting, or the game is using the older "d20 system?"

D&D causes a lot of "sometimes I wonder" moments. Sometimes I wonder how I can hit a charging enemy dead-on with my longbow and still have to fight him close-quarters afterward.

Yikes. It seems that Krorks were a celestial-war combatant/faction, so I wouldn't be too worried about them. Mythology being what it is. But the orcs of Warhammer fantasy are: " . . . huge slabs of muscle moving underneath tough green skin, and their jaws are lined with vicious fangs that...

More spells! I must have been a wizard in another campaign, because I can never have too many spells in my spellbook.

I usually send my pet gelatinous cube to go first. The mention of the bowman in the back made me think that game rules play a part in formation too. Because behind everyone else is a terrible place from which to shoot - unless the game you're playing doesn't require lines of (miniature) sight...

There it is. Some of us hate bards, and that's okay. But secretly, we love them. When a reply page capped at 10 replies only shows 7, it's because someone has ignored you. Before you click "post reply," make sure the previous reply occurred in the last 365 days. Preferably sooner.

Are other methods of acquisition fair? Got a free game? Stole it? I think my Numenera was 50% off, which felt like a steal. Anyway, Final Fantasy RPG 4th Ed. is the (a) coolest game I've never played. When classical elements replace character attributes, something cool* is going on there...
