For the pdf, is this just a question of DTRPG's cut? As I understand it, itch.io can give you a much better cut of your sale price, and you could just direct traffic there first from your site and anywhere else you personally promote. The tradeoff is that you'd still want to be on DTRPG for...

On a related theme, but potentially more of a breaking change under certain circumstances, some stuff about creature size/space changed too. It was possible to pull an encounter from a 3.0 adventure and find that the opponents barely even fit in the room any more.

Certainly some amount of just playing D&D and trying to map epic fantasy inspirations to high-level rules in my mind (the whole Final Fantasy series springs from a lot of D&D influence and then takes it in this direction), but the early Worship Points System threads almost certainly played a big...

Just arrived today, thankfully no shipping damage and Sobek remains whole. Glad to finally have a proper print copy after all this time, thanks!

As well as can be expected! Right now I'm doing the stay at home parenting thing, and I'm not sure whether to say I don't even have the work excuse for my personal projects, or whether the pervasiveness of distractions is even worse. You know, that reminds me of how that always seemed to be...

The trick, I think, is to not check in for a while, so it seems like more content when you catch up. I empathize more these days, it took me several years and a second "last chance maybe ever" deadline to finish one submission for The Rifter (naturally, by the time it was done, it was over...

Wow, it's hard to even remember how I originally came across the site. I was almost certainly in high school looking for 3E news, though. Coming up next year: 20th anniversary of the current forum epoch.

Man, I've still got stuff I want to do with 3E.

Personally, I like working with absolutely everything, as a player and a DM. I see the breadth of material available for 3.5 as its main selling point. I like dipping to make mechanically interesting characters, I can still wrap a coherent concept around it without being constrained by a single...

I think he knows that.

As someone who was a member of the CharOp community there prior to the last board wipe and restructuring (or maybe the one before that? I don't know), I have to chuckle a bit at hearing how they're doing it all again, and seeing the same results with droves of regulars migrating to new homes.

One that I see all the time, but never seems to come up in conversations like this one, is palette, palate, and pallet. Nobody seems to know which is which, whether the topic at hand is art, food, or the subtleties of bulk shipping.

Not only all of the above, but HG doesn't even have their own stuff straight as far as regular Robotech continuity sometimes. :(

Mutants and Masterminds is another good example of a game that handles it that way, maybe give that a flip through to see how they did it.

I played a lot of basic Alternity when it was fairly new, and enjoyed it. Going back through it now, I'm not sure how well it has aged. I'm not sure whether it just needs another streamlining pass (all the rules baggage attached to skill ranks via rank benefits), or if parts are just...

I know that block! Last time my wife and I visited Victoria, we were at the hotel right across from the card shop. We really liked the fact that there were all those geek stores so close by.

This immediately reminded me of this comic. Somehow, I did not sense the plot hook nature of the strip when I first read it - clearly, I am rusty as a DM. And to the OP: Caves. Lots of caves.

I think there's probably some symmetry to be maintained, having ability scores apply to HP and damage, attacks and AC, saves and save DCs.. removing random parts of that could break the scaling of the system.

The use of LEGO gears instead of the usual salvaged clock parts or something amuses me.

Absolutely, though of the games I have any non-trivial experience with, only 3E really demands it. Other games, you'll still have a long-term plan, but it's probably just a priority list of skills, perks, and equipment to advance or obtain. 3E characters are a little more... structurally...
