I'm a fan of the track methods and the like. A solo might escape Force Cage but be slowed, etc. Enough focus fire of hard control should eventually land, but it's dull to one-shot a boss without any special planning. When I ran 4E games I converted all monster stuns to daze+something to avoid...

While it's not quite the same, my online RP (heavily inspired by D&D, V:TM, etc.) led to a fair amount of in-person, sometimes inter-continental romance and other friendships. My actual in-person TTRPG experience has given me whole friend groups, some friendships so close that one of my former...

Cheaper than Seattle, and we're drowning in tech companies. Main reason I'm not in Quebec myself is that they treat their nurses horribly and I was looking to move with one once upon a time.

For non-completionist consumers, a deluge of books is great because there's a better selection, but the ROI is harder to justify. I am very glad to have existed through the bad-at-capitalism days, but it's understandable that those are over.

What barriers do you imagine exist? We Americans work internationally just fine. I've trained people in China, Japan, and India without issue. Why is talking to default bilingual people who are closer to the US than North California is to South California a barrier?

I am going to assume they are at least moderately compotent. Multilingual support is generally only difficult if bad faith is involved, or if someone just really cannot use the internet. English being secondary is hardly an issue. Much of the world knows English, including most of Quebec. BG3...

Montreal is a nice place with a lot of game devs and the benefit of being less bogged down by English-centric culture (more perspectives!), so hey if you're going to give it a go not a bad place for it.

PF2E allows anyone to wear armor just fine.

Casters frequently use control rather than damage. Simply conjuring a rock can end an encounter.

Vodyanoi could be terrifying. Aquatic umberhulks.

Cave Siren Calls people to swim through flooded caverns with the lie that there is air on the far side.

The only long-term brand tie-ins I'm aware of for D&D is in Idle Champions, with Acq. Inc. characters and.... Nerds. The candy.

Mind Glompers

They need to work on making the IP more inherently attractive to use or license. The mechanics aren't special enough (or accurately used in games) to not be replaced with a new rules system, and the worlds and stories in them are not so well-known and popular that you can't come up with a...

Waiting on the 12 issue IDW series where the Transformers end up in Mechanus, followed by a Drizzt Transformer that turns into Guenhwyvar. Beast Wars: Eberron, perhaps.

There's probably some room for a "free action" each round for limited actions, but the weapon swap being cumbersome is pretty important for preventing people from basically having two simultaneous loadouts they swap round after round so they can get two handed damage and sheild defense. It also...

Sliding in a reworking of 4E's Oublivae could be fun. She's all about bringing civilization to ruin, and you can always add the idea that she wants to end it in such a way that only she enjoys the knowledge of what it once was.

My preference for systems is generally based on: I don't have to do extra work to make it interesting If I want to do something new, it's easy and doesn't turn into me fixing things (requires good math and sensible rules) Has default flavor I enjoy, so the flavor text isn't a waste of money and...

I find Paizo games exactly as immersive as any edition of D&D. Paizo's design is more clear and mathematically sound than most, with errata to minimize the need for house rules, which gives some folks the uncanny valley effect, but works fine if you already see how artificial every game is and...

The default Starfinder 2E vibe is incredibly 80s camp sci-fantasy. There are ancestry, class feature, and equipment options directly featuring music and dance. Just need a cyborg familiar archetype and ship rules and you could run a Silverhawks campaign.
