1. Can be played with something to record with, something to record on, and a set number of 6 sided dice (the easiest type to acquire). 2. PCs and NPCs are built and run on the same(-y) rules; if it means that they'll have to be simplified for ease of playing and/or running, so be it. So no...

Common skill task DC examples right in the PHB so players can plan their builds better. More proficiency (and expertise) choices the less you cast class based spells as a base principle. Which also links to Rogues letting go of their monopoly on the "skill class" position.

I cannot agree more than I'd love to. So much this, much better worded than what I'd scramble up...

...Such as the Damage Dice exchange rate not errata-ed, yet (still 2:1 instead of 1:1). Still, the cleaned up Table of Contents bookmark is nice.

CC BY-SA 4.0, oh my...!

3. When no one is THAT super as in my #2, there are better systems that handle such situations (BRP, GURPS, Savage Worlds, etc.). On the contrary, when everyone of similar levels function as supers fair and square, I can easily imagine it becomes a nightmare for the GM to run logistics for the...

1. Real life issues and obvious probability, especially when combined with "You must start play at 1st (character) Level" mantra. As in, the longer it takes to reach higher levels, the more likely RL interrupts your ascension unto said tiers. 2. Mechanical absence of sensible balance seems like...

And apparently they have some day 1 errata, too.

A tangent, but was the Essentials Knight that unpopular? :( I find it bizarre as personally I still think to this day that the aura type tanking feels much more natural and easier to picture in my mind than those Marking abilities, and would have really liked them to end up in the 5E SRD (but...

Whatever happens, in HERO-speak, I want my weapon wielding classes to be built on roughly equal Character Point (CP) totals AND not too much overshadowed Active Points (AP, a.k.a. power ceiling) per ability.

My usual "preferences" for dice in games are as follows (exceptions might happen): 1. Use a single type of dice. Preferrably a platonic solid bigger than a d4 (so no d10 nor d100, yuck); the classic d6 cube is the best for its availability, followed by the d20 for its sumbolism. 2. Just add the...

The FAQ alone is a great addition for those like me with legalese allergy. And it definitely seems like a pure upgrade of the OGL...

Overall improvement from the WotC version, but Fighters (and "lesser spell slot classes" in general) still need more starting Skills to compensate...

Or ditch bonuses entirely and finally add up raw scores. Yeah, really, I mean it.

Probably only a laughable fraction of the rules expressions. And will most likely have the NonCommercial and NonDerivative poison pills too. Cynical? They gave me all the signs to be...

They still refuse to stop killing the old OGL. No surprises there...

The new ORC that Paizo seems to spearhead sounds like a good idea.

Splendid news! My rocky day today has been compensated well...

Ah, I think I remember hearing of some exodus from Patreon, and that's what actually happened behind the curtains of capitalism...

Umm, any recommendations as the title which are "rules as physics", other than GURPS and the HERO System (which I already know)? More thanks if said rule is CC-BY-SA or less restrictive than that in any scenario...
