    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    I'm interested in your opinion of roll-under/roll-high mechanics. The way they work is like this: you roll your die or dice (in the White Hack's case, for example, a d20). You want to roll equal to or under your Attribute or skill. But, within that metric, you want to roll as high as possible...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Free League planning on publishing Adventures in Middle Earth?

    Now that Free League holds the middle earth license and has released the 2nd edition of The One Ring, does anyone know if they are planning to continue Adventures in Middle Earth (the 5e RPG set in Middle Earth)? At one point Cubicle 7 said that AiME outsold TOR by 10:1, so I would think it...

    I'm curious as to how well they worked for you, especially at higher levels. BONUS: what do you think of – instead of spell slots or spell points – using a spellcasting roll to see if a spell works or not?

    With regard to the success probabilities of attacks, thief skills, the damage outputs of various classes at various levels, NWPs in 2e, and anything else you wish to discuss (spell progressions, XP requirements for levelling up), do you find that pre-3e versions of D&D have a good balance...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would this gonzo style fit 5e?

    I need your opinions! My Kickstarter campaign ends Tuesday morning. I'm considering running another one for a 5e version, but don't know if this gonzo style would be of interest to 5e players. If you have the time, would you take a look and tell me if you think a 5e version would fly?

    D&D 5E (2014) What sword & sorcery books & supplements are out there for 5e?

    Sword & sorcery is a subgenre of fantasy typified by Conan, Elric, Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser, etc. With the exception of Primeval Thule and the World of Xoth, I'm unaware of any 5e-derived sword & sorcery products.

    D&D General How did/do you make your THAC0 attacks rolls?

    What method did/do you use to make your combat rolls? In other words, did you adjust your THAC0 by the opponent's AC (as in the rules), or did you subtract your d20 roll from your THAC0 and tell the DM what AC you've hit? Or something else?

    What are the most compelling reasons to switch from PF 1 to PF 2?

    While I own PF2 and have read half of it, I have not yet played it. My gaming group has played it 3 times (I wasn't able to attend any of them). With that in mind, I'm feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the game. I do see some some improvements, especially in the way advancement feats are...
