it's always new to someone. Like my kids hearing a remix or cover of one of my songs and thinking it's new. (Bonus points if my version was a cover or remix of my parents' music)

Did any of those also have 3 action economy or did that come from mixing in a bit of PF2e?

I'm currently working my way through Kobold Press' Guide to Worldbuilding and at least one, if not two, essays praise Greyhawk for being so sparse, allowing for lots of GM imagination. I'm so both ways about it, though, so I can see how the publishers can't win. For Kobold Press' big setting...

A good map is so great. However, I've also come around to the idea that "wrong" maps - made wrong by someone in-universe can be great and that a map that is too detailed can be a jail of sorts. However, I LOVE a good dungeon/room map with tiles/hexes so that I have a good sense of scale for...

I'm somewhat in the same boat. I think it requires too much improv compared to what my table is prepared to do. But it has beautiful art. The hope/fear are neat meta-currency if done right. Reminds me of success/complications in Cosmere (and they both released close enough in time that it seems...

how well (overall) does the partially in person/partially in "zoom" work? I might have to do that for one game, but I wasn't sure

I feel half/half about this. On the one hand, if your players are into it, it's pretty cool to have positioning, terrain, etc matter. (I don't know if I would go all the way to 4e/Draw Steel) My table isn't super into it, but they have taken advantage here and there to create some very memorable...

Your class writeup part of the comment definitely reminded me of something I struggle with in 5e - how much to put on the char sheet from the class actions. I've gone back and forth on different ideas for my players. On the one hand, if I just put the name of the feat - most of the time they...

Your last sentence is the thing I wanted to highlight - I first saw Bob the World Builder mention this and I think it's important (especially for newer groups) to keep the sanctity of the scheduled night. Otherwise it's easy for the group to dissolve as at least one person always has something...

scary looking evil spaceship/plane thing there

I'm an extremely visual person so art means a lot to me. There are systems where I feel happiness when I open them because of the art and others that almost turn me off the whole system for the art. I love good monster art because I've never heard of most of these monsters. Seeing them inspires...

Addressing the character sheet - dnd sheets CAN be much less "scary". If you look at the dnd adventure club pregen character sheets, they fit on 2 pages (and most of the 2nd page is backstory) In reality, now that we have computers in the year 2026 ;) the ideal situation would be a simple app...

Cosmere TTRPG has a similar mechanic around "swearing your ideal". It's not pefectly analogous sine the game has 2 different mechanics going on. There's leveling up like in D&D, Pathfinder, etc. Then there's the tech tree that reminds me of Final Fantasy 10, but could be found in many JRPG and...

Getting back to the topic at hand - early on people wondered why CR didn't do DH as Season 4. They've already stated in multiple places that there were a number of reasons for this: Brennan lee Mulligan is a D&D person and it seemed unfair to invite him to GM and then change the system The...

This is why I pushed back my purchase of the new official Daggerheart supplement. I have a bunch of other non-Daggerheart campaigns planned and I probably won't get to Daggerheart before at the very October-ish. So I didn't see the reason to tie up my money now.

I agree with lots of the others - I haven't really backed any KS that made me get junk I didn't want. Maybe I'm too selective or maybe I don't back at high enough a tier.

to me this reads all the more balanced for the fact that at the end you might not continue. It really seemed from the pros/cons that you were more in favor. Thanks for bringing that balance and honesty.

great job on the painting!

Fixed array. Lots of stuff I leave to luck, but character is not one.

wash like soap and water?
