You described your game as a sandbox, but I assume at some point the game funneled towards the final act of saving the world/stopping the main villain. Was there a specific level where this happened?

This has been my table interpretation of the spell. So a trap triggered by moving a smoothly operating lever could be triggered by Mage Hand, but a pressure plate set for the weight of at least 50 lbs could not.

In my personal experience, in the past 35ish years the barrier to new, innovative gaming experiences has never been finding new innovative products, but rather, finding players who want to engage with a game that isn’t the same old thing. Particularly when it came to a different rules set...

And clearly restrictive licenses enacted in bad faith are the way to encourage free ideas and creativity.

Just because the average player lacks principles doesn’t mean @estar should give up on his.

I’m pretty certain none of that is going to happen.

Has WOTC said anything beyond “well make a statement”?

Who did they lose?

I doubt it. The play experience from PF2E vs. SW is going to be very different. I don't think you'll see a major shift of players leaving PF for SW.

There’s going to be a campaign plot twist coming.

Aegis of Recovery could be of help. But the concept of berserker who finish’s the last for snd then drops dead of their rounds because their body was (briefly) continuing to fight past death is a critical part of the barbarian. It’s a feature, not a bug. Not a class that works well with a...

I'll second that. I have enjoyed the various fantasy titles of RW Krpoun, but the Phantom Badgers series is my favorite.

I mix it up. Different campaigns and parties end up with different NPC sidekicks. I like the designation of long term NPCs as "sidekicks". As much as I thoroughly despise the "DMPC" (and will never have one in any game I run, nor would I play in any game where such a thing was being run)...

The bolded part is incredibly important. Playing at any particular table should be considered a privilege, not a right.

Not true in my experience. I only play with adults who act like mature, responsible adults. Expectations are clearly communicated, differences of opinion are respectfully voiced/heard, snd in the very rare event of a real disagreement, it can usually be handled in private. Any player who...

Considering most campaigns start at low level and also considering most campaigns don't actually make it to high level, walking around in the wilderness is a vastly more likely scenario then teleportation. Unless playing in a game where reliable teleportation is easily available to low level...

Your problem is your players. Find better players. They are out there.

Exactly. In the current world of VTT I see zero reason to waste any of my time as a GM on high maintenance players who can't create characters that fit a campaign and then complain about their lack of freedom. Goodbye. All you need is a few good players to have a great campaign.

Grell. Giant, floating brains with a squid beak and paralyzing tentacles. Also immune to lightning!

Short answer: No, I wouldn't play. I'd politely decline. My free time is far to limited and precious to spend it playing something that I don't enjoy. And I have too much respect for anyone willing to step up and GM to be a half-hearted player. Any player who sets to sabotage the game...
