    D&D General Not enjoying the urban adventure I'm running

    This is the approach I take as well. The city watch is not the equivalent of a modern police force.

    D&D 5E Is my half elf evoker's backstory too simple?

    Backstory is only useful in how it informs play at the table. Your backstory is plenty.

    D&D 5E Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

    Good point about D&D changing over time. I just think there's too many great RPGs out there to spend a lot of time hacking 5e into a system one is happy with instead of trying a different game entirely.

    D&D 5E Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

    It's more that that the design goals of D&D don't match what I want out of a game and I don't see these design goals changing as they are doing very well by WotC; I've found other games that are more to my liking.

    D&D 5E Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

    I don't like D&D 5e in general, partly because of issues outlined here, so I don't play it. I also don't care about any future D&D 6e. It's staggering to me how attached people are to playing an rpg that says Dungeons and Dragons on the cover.

    D&D 5E Do you DM?

    I selected other. I am the GM for a weekly game.

    D&D General What if Hit Points were the currency of the game rules?

    As others have said, there is a system that does exactly this, it's called numenera/cypher system

    Low Fantasy - Best Systems?

    I have found Hackmaster 5e to be a refreshing take on D&D. A simple orc is stronger than a level 1 character and larger monsters like ogres can be truly terrifying. In general, the default setting is lowish magic with a heavy emphasis on verisimilitude.

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E's reception?

    From what I've seen, people who are pathfinder fans seem to be happy with it in general.

    D&D 5E 5th edition monks

    If you want this level of granularity, find a fantasy rpg that's not D&D. IMO the original monk is very much in line with the design goals of 5e, as such it is good as is.

    D&D 5E How freely can a setting mess with core D&D mechanics?

    The only thing that would be too far for me would be actually using the D&D 5e rules for my fantasy adventure game as I am not a fan of that system for a number of reasons.

    What's the best RPG?

    Hackmaster 5e It has a focused design and is the best high-crunch old-school fantasy rpg on the market ime

    RPG Evolution: RPGs Have a Health Problem

    This would be less of an issue if more people invested in smaller games instead of exclusively playing D&D.

    my players told me what they want in a rpg for the next campaign

    My personal favorite F20 game is Hackmaster 5e. It may or may not be what you're looking for as it's pretty dense, but in my opinion it's one of the best higher crunch game systems out there.

    Pathfinder 1E Wizkids should take the Pathfinder 1.0 ruleset and publish their own RPG.

    Pathfinder 1 seems like it's run it's course. The only thing would be if you've played all the adventure paths they've released (which I'm pretty sure no one has) and you want more.
