My two favorite initiative systems are from LotFP and Hackmaster. LotFP just uses this simple chart (not affected by stats). The more points, the less you move during a turn. Hackmaster is on the other side of the spectrum where the GM does full on encumbrance audits (carried out with the...

Just bought his book, thanks!

@GothmogIV Lots of great comments here, but since we like similar games, I figured I'd give you my perspective as well. My group and I were heavily into Pathfinder 1e and I think we were all beginning to get burnt out of on the high level crunch and the sheer amount of work it took to design...

I liked the entire Conjuring run myself!

The statement does a really good job explaining the thought process behind the monetization. Also, how they need to take a look at how they conduct surveys. It does not really explain why it was so expensive though. It could read as Darrington demanded the $8 per pack, but for all we know they...

I would think Pathfinder is better at high level play. It was one of the reasons they even bothered making a new edition after all. Reading through it, I see the effort to get the math balanced perfectly 1-20. My current party is only Lv 4 though, so haven't actually experienced it yet. D&D 5E...

As much as I loved the GURPS sourcebooks, I don't think I ended up buying a single one. Core was more than enough to keep me busy as a kid... That said, enjoyed Diskworld, In Nomine, Bestiary, and Martial Arts.

@BornHeretic Did you guys play AD&D by the book, BECMI, or some kind of mix?

Too funny. I've had the opposite experience. After getting my prints done, the gentleman let out a whistle then proceeded to gloat to all his colleges how clean mine came out. Oh wells, guess I just have to keep being lawful. 😄

And there is talk about how their micro-transactions have hurt gaming too. And what they hate more is change for the worse. For sure. Which is why it's cool we have this thread to talk about that.

I don't use Hero Forge, so had to look into it, and seems pretty bad to me. If I'm paying a monthly subscription for a service, the last thing I want to see is additional costs with no end in sight. I'd bail immediately. Hero Forge should just have offered their customers generic monkey, plant...

@GothmogIV For your C&C game, have you tweaked the rules at all or made any additions?

Beautiful collection. I've had to downsize mine a few times now to keep it contained in just one room, so had to let a lot go unfortunately. I think my new rule is if I ever upgrade to a new edition: 1) If it's actually different, I can only keep the old core books. 2) If it's just an update...

Same. Tied with Hyperborea mechanics wise, but dislike the human-centric and sci-fi aspects of the setting. My next game will probably be Gods of the Forbidden North though, so hard not to choose Hyperborea. Dragonslayer, and Adventures Dark and Deep are very close too. I still enjoy taking...

This is so frustrating. Even their closest friends poked fun at the editing to kind of nudge them in the right direction. When the anniversary edition was announced, one of the main selling points was they hired an actual editor. Finally! But not very much was fixed from what I've seen. I love...

I feel this. I've yet to find a group too. I've just playing with my wife (2 characters each) and going through the C&C A Series.

I just want them to put this absolute work of art back in: Now that I think about it, for 5E, they can just use the 3E Revised art with the updated 4E rules and I'd be happy. :)

I never did get around to picking up 4E since I already had zweihander, so will probably check this out. Also, I never realized the 4E cover art is an homage to the 1st edition one. Neat!
