I think that, overall, I agree that the general concept of anime has become more mainstream. However, in terms of "wuxia" and such, I think the pendulum is swinging back the other direction and has been for a little while. Much of the discussion that I see as to why some OSR games have gained...

What do you view as offense? Just damage or would you also count battlefield control or status effects as offense?

If 6E keeps the idea of proficiency bonus from 5E, I would prefer something more like the proficiency dice optional rule than flat bonuses. Maybe let me downgrade my proficiency die in exchange for effects. 6E power attack could be "...downgrade your proficiency die to do more damage; for each...

This. A 'cosy' or 'spicy' "Defilers and Preservers" Dark Sun book would likely mean something very different for a romance novel than it would for a ttrpg supplement.

If 6E is going to have ASIs, I think they should be a separate thing from feats. Have feats focus on mostly non-number things. I would also go a very different art direction with 6E. I do not yet know what I would like. But I do know that some of the recent Forgotten Realms books that showed...

With such strong opinions, I expected something a lot worse when I looked up the artwork online. I have read romance novels with more risque covers than that.

My personal preference would be for a 6 in complexity. I think 5 would be best, but aim for a 6 during design, and it ends up at 5 once things get trimmed for the final product. Make the "bounded accuracy" range smaller instead of bigger. Expand the game to 30 levels. Add back in the...

He does. Obviously, he shows his age, but I tend to believe that a lot of people would like to still look that good at 65. Some of his recent comments about modern romance novel protagonists not being manly are not very PC for 2026. But, for a book cover, all needs to do is let his hair blow in...

I hope we get some romantic adventures for 2026. Fabio is still a good-looking guy. I would buy a special edition of Dark Sun with a Fabio cover.

Maybe they need extra time for the new team to get acquainted with the roadmap to D&D 6th Edition.

Like I said, it is hard to explain. I do not think it is an issue with being old/new or fresh or whatever. It is more that the game's aesthetic and general vibe comes across as being different. The rules changes from 5E to 5E24 are minor, but some of those small changes ripple throughout the...

I understand it from a screenwriting perspective. I wish it had been paced and placed better. Still, I'm glad to see the representation. True. My concern comes from a place of being someone who wants representation because it is important to me on a personal level, but seeing how, even as a...

My group only plays D&D, but we have had a few one-offs to try other things this year. D&D is still currently the only game that we regularly play, but we are becoming more open to playing other things. We just do not yet know what suits our group. It is hard to explain why because I am not...

I think it's cool that Will came out. The timing was a bit odd, but it is important to his character arc, and representation is important. Though, I do worry about how certain things were portrayed when looking at the season as a whole. I do not believe this was the intent, but some of the...

I know it gets a bad rep, but I do think that 4E did this pretty well. 4E encounter design was pretty good.

Grippli

Bright Wuxia, with extra emphasis on baking, friendship, and Magic the Gathering Kung-fu Panda meets Guy Fieri, and they replace the normal D&D schools of magic with Magic mana colors.

Vodka is the best potato

Dragonlance seems like the most obvious choice. Red Hand of Doom from 3rd Edition has potential to be good.
