I can guarantee you nobody is buying games on the basis of how to resolve "Roll for Target Number" or any kind of mathematical mechanic that doesn't further in how we interact with the game on a fundamental basis. Or any kind of finagling around with modifiers and probabilities on top of a PbtA...

Why not just publish this prospective Zine for free as is with the input of your players and just see what people resonate with? At the very least you had fun.

There is more first party content and 3rd party content with serious cred published than I will ever be able or willing to read. It's not like Elf Games have received any extremely meaningful technological advancements in the past decade. Amid gas prices, familial obligations and an uncertain...

That would be really disappointing because the 5.0/5.5 era FR books are in an entirely different point in the FR metaplot

DDB not having been developed in-house paying insane dividends right now

You've heard of litRPG now get ready for litPodcast

My desire for WotC to come out of an official setting is that Magic: The Gathering's creative team and art direction has been killing it in the last ten years and that WotC clearly has the chops and resources to do more investment and open-ended exploration in finding something new and exciting...

Color me surprised, I really thought they were making this 5.5 only. I guess they made good on the promise that they're going to make DDB systems a bit more interchangeable and compatible.

I think that's very deliberate on WotC's part. People just want to emulate their favorite stories and the average player who neither reads Fantasy Novels, ENWorld, Reddit or watches DnDTube is content bonking goblins on the head and making inappropriate passes at the barmaiden while drinking...

Strictly speaking, almost all Starter sets/Essentials kits in 5E and a boatload of Hardcovers were all Module-friendly. They just didn't call it that.

You know how RPGs and Video Games were once Vehicles to play out Stories people saw in Literature and Film? Well LitRPG and litadventure is literature designed to emulate adventures seen and experienced in RPGs and Video Games.

It is on Amazon Germany under the Category "Role Playing" but HasbroWotC is literally the only publisher selling german rpg books on Amazon. Also it seems to compete with crossword puzzles, party games for kids and the wizard card game of all things. DSA5 (The Dark Eye 5th Edition) is at Rank...

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy dwungeons and dwagons rulebooks. Jeff just said he had the power to have all the powers and we were happy.

As much as I have a personal antipathy for 5.24/5.5 because I find the revision quite pointless I don't agree. If it's an adventure I think there is very little that can break any sort of compatibility. Case in point, the new FR Adventures book is entirely compatible with 5.0 if you just use the...

As someone in a long-term Pathfinder Campaign I can't really cosign that. Just by virtue of people picking social and non-combat encounter feats and options you're always gonna end up with an uneven party unless the whole playgroup is optimizing for a series of white room encounters. Extreme...

Uhm no. Like somebody on Reddit remarked, Daredevil now supports the BMX Bandit Fantasy.

I don't think anyone gets to have an opinion on Counterspell Sub-Games unless they have played an entire tournament season of Magic: The Gathering where the Top Deck was a Deck that was full of kill- and counterspells that won the mirror match by reshuffling the entire graveyard into the deck...

Even though I am not the audience for this, I don't think there's any harm to this, but I would like to ask that if you add A5E and ToV rules, that you also maintain 2014 compatibility as well with those. I know a bunch of people that are still happy playing "Old School 5E". I will refrain from...

I don't wanna be that guy but in terms of product and subscriptions you're probably going to get a really quick first-hand source answer on the Paizo forums
