Epic level games. Either an expansion of the boom system, or the piety system, or epic classes / levels. An A5e epic level handbook would be great.With the new pitch call going out for the GPG, I thought I’d poll the room and ask what thoughts people had on about what they think A5e could still use some meat on its bones.

brother?A fresh look at extraplanar adventures. WotC seems to be the planar equivalent of D&D in space! Give us something new and wild for adventures in the planes.
Personally, I don't want Epic. I want Immortal. I would love to see something where you can literally ascend to (demi)godhood. Considering the Metamorphosis destiny, I'd say that this is a logical add-on to the game.Epic level games. Either an expansion of the boom system, or the piety system, or epic classes / levels.

i'd almost argue the opposite actually - the metamorphosis destiny means that epic tier being just godhood DOESN'T make sense, both because not everyone will take metamorphosis and because metamorphosis itself is explicitly not just godhood.Considering the Metamorphosis destiny, I'd say that this is a logical add-on to the game.
I didn't say that that destiny restrained anything to godhood. Nor am I saying that only people with that destiny should/could become gods.i'd almost argue the opposite actually - the metamorphosis destiny means that epic tier being just godhood DOESN'T make sense, both because not everyone will take metamorphosis and because metamorphosis itself is explicitly not just godhood.
epic levels allowing for godhood though would be cool. i just don't think this specific through-line justifies restraining it to godhood.
i...wasn't saying you did.I didn't say that that destiny restrained anything to godhood. Nor am I saying that only people with that destiny should/could become gods.
ok, so just to clarify - are you saying the immortal rules should be the epic rules or that the immortal rules should be part of the epic rules? i'd agree with the latter since i wouldn't necessarily want epic play to be about godhood, though i would want it to be an option.I'm saying that the game has a built-in hook for Immortal rules, since it recognizes that some people not only want to achieve godhood, but may actually do so.
Yes, that is my preference too. But those seem to be even harder to do well.Personally, I don't want Epic. I want Immortal. I would love to see something where you can literally ascend to (demi)godhood. Considering the Metamorphosis destiny, I'd say that this is a logical add-on to the game.
Of course, Immortal rules would include Epic-type rules, since you wouldn't necessarily be the type of god that just sits on a fluffy cloud all day, and there would be things to fight and evils to prevent (or encourage). It would also involve managing the world as a whole.
