Again though, wotc stewarded D&D is one of the only games that completely reinvents itself every release, software don't do it as a rule, scholarly books don't go with totally new information or rewrites from the ground up. Call of Cthulhu, one of the biggest long running ttrpgs outside of...

6e is the sensible naming convention. There are bigger differences than there were between AD&D 1e and 2e. And it is abnormal to completely rewrite a system or book with every edition from the ground up. Even games like warhammer don't do it. There are bigger differences in 5e24 than people...

Things I want to see but know I won't: Expertise scaling fixed so it doesn't break bounded accuracy like it does currently. Check vs DC standardised instead of opposed rolls outside of iniative. Return to flat jump distances based on strength score. Fixed invisible condition so it doesn't...

Ah, I would have to be at my computer to find a complete list of changes (not running it atm as I tend to cycle systems) But I used some momentum changes (extra dice are bought for more momentum 1 for the first, 2 for the second 3 for the third). I use the RAW reading of momentum combat spends...

I am a Pf2e fan, it has managed to fill a fantasy RPG void that wasn't already filled. 5e is my medium fantasy sandbox system. PF2e is my high fantasy heroes journey system B/X is my old school keep on the borderlands style system (high risk, high reward) Conan 2d20 (heavily altered) is my...

Yeah anyone saying it is like 5e doesn't know enough about either system to say that. Also, how good is that swashbuckler, great mechanical cohesion.

I would have to limit these to one choice per appropriate level. Or it would just be a giant upgrade and no extra choices for classes that only get enhancements. Also, hilarious that WotC came up with the same hunters mark/favoured enemy solution I came up with around 2 years ago.

I passed on invisible sun because its price was high to what I personally value from a RPG product. But I can respect it. Then we get artifically limited products like kingdom death monster that ruffle my feathers quite a bit.

Inventing the concept of roleplaying is a bit of a stretch... We had boxed and sold murder mystery roleplay games since the 30s. There is credit to give, but less (imo) than an equal split.

A) Pour, if you are going to mock people don't make mistakes like this. B) Lots of people like the system and setting? Nice try though.

The game is too random and at it's best has too much GM arbitration to be worth while imo.

Technically you are both correct. But it is a moot point.

I doubt it is the D&D team that have made this choice. And ultimately I want as many people to actually buy product to support their game system so we get more and hasbro doesn't just look at as "that other well known property that isn't MtG". Sure whales like myself are helping spread the...

On the topic of PDFs, a modern PDF is quite different in options / functionality to older pdfs. I love technology but as it is even with having D&D beyond, Fantasygrounds and every book in hard cover. I will often sit down with my tablet and read scanned pdfs of the books. Why? Because they...

Damn, I want the alternate covers... and now wish I had gotten the other alternate covers along the way. I never got them because I always felt it would be a waste with them not matching the rest of the set... But now... This said, I was planning on selling off my pathfinder collection (it...

Just need to start looking at Pathfinder 2.0 as fantasy superheroes and stop thinking of it as fantasy rpg. Pathfinder 1.0 was pretty bad at not going superhero whenever someone powergamed. But damn this takes it to extremes. I will still probably play and buy, just treat it as a built in...

Nothing alike, as similar to each other as the eldritch knight is to the champion. The analogue will be whatever mike mearls ends up with with his warlord.

Purple dragon is pretty awful. For a support fighter it offers little in the way of support. Still very playable though, the core fighter is a strong combat class.

Samurai is fine. Battlemaster is just more versatile in what it can do and because it gets it's four dice back on a short rest. Heck most of it's abilities trigger after an attack hits or after you roll, so you aren't ever wasting your limited ability. And then you have fun stuff like...

For those who have trouble with theater of the mind. Try using zones similar to Conan 2d20 (stay away waterbob stay away) Having battle areas that roughly represent 30ft zones (for combat) helps dramatically. Personally I still advise taking off the training wheels bit by bit and people will...
