    D&D 5E (2024) Representing afflictions in D&D 5e - which do you think work best/least dislike.

    Skirmisher Press needs to do a 5e version of their Insults & Injuries which was a supplement on real-world diseases by a gamer/practicing medical doctor. I have both the 3.5 and Pathfinder versions and would buy a 5e version as well.

    D&D General 5 Cool Facts About the Inca and How to Use Them in D&D

    About ten years ago, I took one or two courses that had sections on the Inca (in South America), and several Meso-American cultures including the Olmec, Mayans, and Aztec. I am, now, tempted to pull out the text books and class handouts and notes. Edit: I remember Khan Academy having good...

    D&D General 5 Cool Facts About the Inca and How to Use Them in D&D

    I think it would be cool to have a culture that didn't have writing, but used quipu (a.k.a khipu), a system of knots used for record keeping. I don't use goodberry and create food and water is much more rare in my campaigns ( if I include it at all). Therefore, I would find it much more...

    New Edition of Mutants & Masterminds Coming Soon, Playtest Launches at End of Month

    Off the top of my head, my main issues with 3e are 1. Combining of Computers, Craft (Electronics), Craft (Mechanic) and Disable Device into Technology* 2. Combining Driving and Piloting into Vehicles* 3. Dropping Obscure as a Power Effect (Thankfully returning with Valiant Adventures) *A...

    New Edition of Mutants & Masterminds Coming Soon, Playtest Launches at End of Month

    If this is true and applies to Valiant Adventures as well, I am on the borderline of demanding a reimbursement of my kickstarter backing, The character samples they posted for the Valiant Adventures Kickstarter updates had both.

    I backed Valiant Adventures and like several of the changes that have been previewed in the Kickstarter updates and hope they make it into the full 4e. 1. Affliction receives a few new Condition that can be imposed 2. Obscure from M&M 2 is returning as an effect. 3. Tether as an Effect 4. Occult...

    That is not a good min-maxer. The term min-maxer originates from maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses.

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    Morrus, in the video he actually says that Diamond has thousands of his books. I should have been more accurate and edited my original post accordingly.

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    I should have been more accurate. He actually said thousands of books. Could it be 10K? 15K? more? I have no idea how many titles he has had printed or how large his print runs are for each title.

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    This is bad. Stephen Glicker at Roll For Combat posted on YouTube that Diamond sells products on consignment (Diamond does not own the products they sell). and Diamond sent him a letter that they are not returning the products that they have in inventory from him and other companies. Instead...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I think you mean Steve Long. He wrote the rules for 5th and 6th editions not 4th (although he did write some 4e supplements). The writers of 4e were George MacDonald and Steve Peterson along with Rob Bell (the editor of Champions 4e and the Hero System rulebook for 4e). As for the cost...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I was not saying break them and send them running. I am saying to mix things up. In my experience, If players know that they can't always rely on hyper-focusing their optimization on one thing and then rely on the other party members to always cover everything else, they are less likely to do...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    One thing that I have not seen mentioned is that, if someone is optimizing to hyper-focus on one thing, they are going to leave themselves vulnerable elsewhere. GMs can take advantage and split the group. Put the character(s) in situations where the group is either split up by external forces...
