Seriously, I love the GURPS sourcebooks. I haven't played in years, but I keep a few books just because they're so well written and in one case, one of the best summaries of the history of WW2 that I've come across.

As near as I can tell, as a player, the rule was you run your character. I think most characters I played with were 2014 or 2024 rules, but the GM was not adjudicating individual rule systems, just running things in a loose 5e framework.

I played three games and I couldn't tell who was using what rules or system unless they called attention to it. And I had a blast!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shackled_City_Adventure_Path The proto-AP, created while they were creating 3.x materials as Dungeon. It was a fun adventure path. Set in a city in the caldera of a "dormant" volcano.

Instead of trying to re-make BG3, why don't they just focus on making a good game? Maybe it's a sequel, maybe it's not. But the good game goal should be first and foremost ahead of any other concerns. I personally would love to see a game set in Eberron, as it's my favorite setting, followed...

I don't fully understand what this means, but it being Hasbro, I await the inevitable downside.

They just annouced a new AP coming soon...

Possibly? I don't have knowledge of the reasons behind their decision. If it is, it would deifnitely have taken more time and effort and is probably why there haven't been any more conversions announced. I think the cost/benefit analysis probably doesn't add up to a net benefit for Paizo.

Couldn't say. I play Pathfinder 2e and only very rarely 5e. But that's how they did it for Kingmaker and I would say that's more cost effective for them than a complete re-write which require more author and editorial time. But given that more 5e conversions haven't been announced, my guess...

It's the method they used for Kingmaker. They created a 5e bestiary and referred to the original 2e adventure book for the plot points.

Technically all it would take is a monsters conversion. The actual plot and storyline would be easily ported over. Maybe a few things like haunts and traps would need a little updating? Shouldn't be terribly hard, but it makes me wonder if the 5e conversions they've done up to now were...

My sympathies to those affected. May they land in a better place.

I expect 5.5 will stick. It has precedence and with WotC abdicating the responsibility, historical precedent will have a powerful pull.

You got your Game Design in my Confectionary! You got your Confectionary in my Game Design! Game Design and Confectionary: two great tastes that go great together!

Only if it fails its SAN check three more times...

I'd like to see a Go Play a Game Day held the x Saturday of Insert Month. An annual event to promote game playing. Maybe in winter, so we can promote ways to pass time indoors without murdering other (real) people?

Completionist is the word I think you're looking for at the end.

I feel bad rooting for corporate lawyers, but in this case I'm going to ignore that and root for corporate lawyers.

Plus ca change, la meme chose...
