HP bloat mostly. The campaign I was running got up to 13th level and combats felt like endless back and forths of whittling down each others HP. For me, it was just nonsensical. What does AC 40 even mean? What does 534 HP even mean? How does a sword swing that does 55 damage differ from a sword...

@Reynard Thanks for sharing, this is really cool. Has certainly inspired me to make some dungeons!

Too funny, I actually switched over to C&C because I burned out of 5e. For me, C&C has better designed classes (especially Ranger), better combat math (since it's just AD&D numbers), and way better treasure write ups (gold cost, XP value, and what level to give it out at). @GothmogIV Always...

Agreed, which is one of the reasons I went in on Drawsteel, haha. We're about to hit level 5 in PF2 and that's how the combat math seems to be working so far. I think that's one of the reasons I like it so much. I like the idea in concept, but will have to see how it actually plays out before...

The other issue is early D&D felt like it was "roll to kill" rather than "roll to hit" making combat a lot more exciting. Nothing bores me more as a player knowing at the start of combat I have 75% chance to knock off 1/8 of a monster's HP. :sleep: Very interested in Nimble since it gets rid...

Finally got around to watching my copy and absolutely loved it! Had that early Sam Raimi "cheesy" vibe throughout and was fun to watch start to finish. Very apparent a lot of fun was had making it, that's for sure. Recommend to anyone who likes fantasy and cool practical effects. Oh, thought...

Exactly why I held off backing Two Little Mice's Twilight Sword.

Oh, got you. All my manga is right to left so just got used to it. I wonder if mirroring the pages could be done in software for digital formats? Although there has to be more to it or else they would just do that before printing it for the West...

What do you mean? I've only seen the movie.

My feelings exactly. If I wasn't already fully invested in Shadowdark and Dragonbane this would be in an instant purchase for me.

Honestly right up there with the Campbell's senior executive who ranted about how terrible his soup was...

Cool idea! I might go with "1 + half" to a specific weapon AND "1 + half" to all adventuring gear myself.

Oh wow, thanks for clarifying. Seems the "5e compatible" claim is oversold and should probably be pulled from the marketing to avoid confusion/frustration.

From what I read, it claims to be compatible with the adventure paths and campaign settings in particular. The only thing that would have to be swapped out for sure is combat magic; I think everything else can be used as is.

I have to admit, it looks really cool...

Agree. Level Up is one of the only 5e products that felt like it was made by gamers for gamers. Happy to report everyone in my little hobby circle is still using it in lieu of D&D 2024.

1) Normally, Plane Shift would take them out of the Feywild, no? Not allowing that spell to work in order to force them into your adventure is certainly railroading. As a DM, I get why you did it, but I'd take a little different of an approach. For most groups, simply letting them know that they...

Speaking for me here. Although sandbox style can be ran in 5e, it's a lot more work on the DM since the core books lack the world building tools and built in exploration mechanics that other OSR games have. Also, creating monsters/items/NPCs/etc... on the fly is more involved and harder to...

Excellent video I stumbled upon on the subject:
