I might have missed earlier discussion so if this question has already been answered, feel free to just link to any thread that discusses this. Thanks Next year a new edition of D&D comes out. It appears this edition will not merit a 6E moniker (or D&D One or whatever) but be to 5E what 3.5 was...

This thread presumes a certain degree of familiarity with the Dungeon Crawl Classics ruleset. I thought about what I liked about DCC and how to use it in D&D: Ability modifiers First off, you need to consider whether it's worth the hassle of reining in ability modifier values: D&D uses -5 to...

It's evident by now that "One D&D" will go down in history as the exact opposite of one game to unite us all. Just to mention a single example: Kobold Press announcing they will develop their own D&D-like competitor game: https://twitter.com/blackflagrpg So why not take the opportunity to...

https://deadline.com/2022/11/hasbro-eone-sale-reasons-1235175261/ I didn't see a thread on this. What does it mean if a company is selling its studio even before its creations have had time to air?

Umbran wrote a moderator message in the recently closed Prostitution thread: "I do not know how that thread managed to survive 20 years ago" I want to be clear I have zero issues with the moderator action, but would like to adress the (implied) question. First off, I don't know and don't...

On nearly every forum moderators have adopted red text to set authoritative messages apart from their personal posts. So when I saw Could I ask you to consider switching over to proper red to avoid possible confusion (especially since your title is schmoderator not actually moderator ;) ) if...

First off, a short summary, since this campaign world is perhaps less known to recent gamers: player characters (and some NPCs) are special, more special than normal, having bloodline powers. Iconic monsters like "The Spider" or "The Werewolf" are leaders of their own countries. That's not a...

I personally prefer absolute XP over the relative XP used by Pathfinder 2. That is, instead of an Orc yielding 40 XP when you first start out, and then 30 XP when you have leveled up, and then 20 XP when you have leveled up again... ...I prefer that if an Orc gives 40 XP (say) it does so no...

What do I mean by this pretentious title? I mean that after extensively play testing the game (we have a single session left of the entire levels 1-20 Extinction Curse campaign), there are two "hidden" issues that bugs us greatly: 1. The hero/monster dichotomy 2. The martial/magic dichotomy...

To add to the already loong list of flaws and annoyances exhibited by the Pathfinder 2 ruleset, let's discuss its ability to support other ways of playing the game than Adventure Paths and Pathfinder Society play. I find the game entirely unsuitable for modding of this kind. Not only does the...

PF2 healing options are misaligned to the needs and expectations of the game. What the game needs, expands and what makes combat encounters work best is: between each encounter all characters return to full hp; characters start each encounter at full hp. But healing options come across as a...

Regarding @Alzrius thread where the following moderation message was referenced: The following is an appeal for clarity only (I don't condone any poster's behavior and am trying to phrase this post to avoid the specific issue): The description of the "meta forums" suggests this would be the...

Hello. I haven't kept up with the project, and I have a question: At the time the project was started it was pitched as an "advanced 5th edition" (A5E) with more interesting* character building choices. Another idea that comes to mind when you hear about something pitched as an "advanced 5th...

Apparently, Paizo's site works except the part that logs you in to their forums. You get a message as if your password and username doesn't exist. If you're not on social media I thought this would help. Basically it's not you.

Hello everyone! I am toying with an idea I got: a campaign heavily inspired by the TV show The Shield, featuring morally compromised heroes as city watch detectives in a corrupt fantasy metropolis. A big element of such a campaign would/should be temptation: repeatedly putting the player...

I can easily search for threads started by myself - in the menu "Find threads". But this only works for threads started by you. How do I create a list of threads started by another poster? (Not threads with posts by the user, threads started by the user) Thanks

I was asked if I had made any Crafting houserules (by a Paizo poster) and realized that a) my existing thread on the subject wasn't really good enough, and b) my semi-recent suggestion is incredibly scattered (in a much more general thread). So here goes (credits to @kenada for helping me out)...

Yes, I'm aware how very Meta this is... Anyone else unable to read this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/advertising-outside-of-promotions-press.674659/ I'm on Firefox and every time I try to access it I get the following message: So that's what I am doing. Informing the website...

Breaking this out from the "Is this a fair review" thread for all of us not interested in discussing the nature of hit points. Cheers, Zapp

I find the design space of Pathfinder 2 strangely underutilized, where mechanics such as special materials (also known as "precious materials") and talismans could have been used for so much more. I also find several subsystems annoyingly complex for little reason. Here is a random bundle of...
