...the main reason i liked 5.14 and 5.24 is because the updated SRDs are versions 5.1 and 5.2, respectively: also it shuts up "it's all 5e!" pedants when you need to distinguish between editions... ...that said, 5.5 is more consistent with historical nomenclature for prior editions, both...

...not rad as hell until it features BMX mechanics...

...i like travis, but when puts on his PR hat that business-speak-filter effuses everything that he says...

...yeah, at this point i get the sense that you've just embraced crowdfunding as your distribution model, rather than as a development seed; some other publishers still frame their initiatives toward the latter despite actual revenues really supporting the former...

...i'm curious what portion of that is games versus media + merchandise; similar to when marvel grew into an 800-pound gorilla on the entertainment landscape but the actual comics remained just a little blip in their ledger book...

...at the time?..runequest (BRP) and hârn both had signifiant fanbases, not sure of other popular stateside fantasy systems which weren't derived from D+D...of course drakar och demoner was big in sweden but it's a BRP derivative; i think the dark eye developed its own unique system in germany...

...but double-or-triple-six crits will show up 1/54 rolls, likewise double or triple-ones, for overall critical shenanigans 1/27 rolls... (for d4s you're looking at crits either way 1/8 rolls; for d8s 1/64)

...i've wondered similarly with three-die systems and whether it's worth separating critical effects from overall success or failure; i.e. two 1s or two 4/6/8/+ (depending upon dX rolled) manifest bane or boon effects regardless of overall success or failure, but only triple 1s or triple 4/6/8/+...

...arch d4s are pretty great, especially when you throw a whole fistful of damage...

...i don't play C+C but i do enjoy their worldbuilding; i collect all the aihrde books and i have most of their fifth-edition modules, which i can trivially run under any 5e variant of choice... ...i appreciate that the troll lords are out there doing their thing with a sustaining audience, but...

...mister T was a core mechanic... 🚐

...funny, my pirate borg package was delivered tonight!..regardless of my critique, i do appreciate the effort: pirate borg is kind of an edge-case in character sheet design...

...i feel like pirate borg sheets need to be kind of YARR! or they miss the point; condensed and emotive!...

...core mechanic can have a big impact on emulating genre: combat as a fail state, tactical flurry, or heroic showmanship...

...i like bell curves with degrees of success; you can simulate it with flat rolls + tables, but three-dice pools handle it automatically if you're willing to step through exotic dice chains for skill progression... (i.e. 3d4 -> 3d6 -> 3d8 -> 3d10 -> 3d12 etcet)

...electronics boutique was after my time, but my early experiences were much the same: core games came in boxes, optional supplements were published as books, and i never even considered supplements for which i didn't already own the core game...i'm not sure whether that was an artifact of the...

...it only takes a couple of times not finding what i'm looking for, or buying something off the shelf and then getting home only to discover that it's incomplete, to dissuade going out of my way for future visits to a retail shop... ...if i have to spend the better part of an hour...

...i feel if they'd simply been named a special action instead, three-quarters of the common confusion, misinterpretation, and controversy never would have manifest: they're a fine design tool if implemented consistently... ...if we can disabuse both players and designers of the notion that...

...nah, it works great in practice...
