    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    If they already decided to not use only 2024 SRD, then why not. It is their game like my table that I play with my group. We call it 5e, but it has some other older things brought over accidently or added for fun.

    D&D General What makes a TTRPG a "D&D Variant" to you?

    I tend to only play D&D, whatever version is current, so to me a variant is something I could play that feels like I'm playing D&D and that I do not need to learn a bunch of new rules. Granted plays like D&D is different from basic/OSR, 3e/Pathrinder and 5e/TOV, but if someone says it is just...

    Planescape Which Planescape faction do you most closely identify with?

    I was wondering why the OP did not post a list or description of the factions, but now I see there are like 50 of them.

    Did They stay or did They go, now?

    I think there will be some that found the game and liked it enough to stay with it. They become the parents that have kids that pick it up. A lot of people picked up golf at that same time and things shoe that a good amount stayed with it. Younger people tend to quasi-golf like video golf and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    I would try to not mix the stuff. If I said that we are using the 24 rules and there are no 1/2 elves, then there is no 1/2 elves. If only to prevent the next question to be what about 1/2 orcs. Then all the what abouts to cheese the game to make your cool combo. Show people the new rules...

    PROJECT HAIL MARY Trailer 2025

    Same guy that wrote The Martian, which I found to be a good/fun movie. Trailer looks ok.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    Unfortunately the primary goal of the designers is to sell games for money. The rest is secondary. I would also add that using multiple designers only adds to the problem. Each brings some level of compatibility or ideas on how things fit with the other products. A couple years down the...

    TSR Who or What am I? Dragon 94 Cover by Clyde Caldwell

    It is a raccoon with no mask on- look at the thumbs. It did not want to be confused with a rogue, or rather thief since this was 1e/2e days.

    D&D General Is It Cake?

    Is peach jam considered a fruit? Checking since there is no fruit to be hidden in cake. Might as well just make with no sugar at that point.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I tend to find that the designers make the game one way and the optimizer players find the loopholes to use or exploit depending on your interpretation. Each class is designed to compete with the other classes and not some weird multiclassed (MC) hybrid. Some of it is more cheesy than trying...

    What do you like in a session write-up?

    Man, I do Jack and Squat for my write-ups. If I ever wanted to read other people's play or get invested in others games, I would like a link to PC sheets or to a page that lists them and maybe the player's insight to them along with the DMs. I would be more interested in reading the funny...
