The depth of the disinterest isn't super relevant, the sitting down at the table and the emerging conflict with the other participants is. There's no level of disinterest that warps the social contract around it, just levels of interest that preclude the formation of that contract. Tolerance...

Its also down to the players themselves, some players are more tolerant of differing play styles than others on a very basic level.

This thread is kind of interesting to me because I don't feel like 5e was built to cater to younger players, I'm 30 and it feels like it was built to cater to someone older than me and the 20/30 somethings that make up my extended playgroup and 2024 feels like as small a step toward something a...

Just chiming in with love and support, I hope things get better, and I also want to second the general sentiment that yeah, there's no sense in running games that are ultimately harming you-- you deserve to feel appreciated when you run games, and to feel like they're a fun part of your life...

I'm actually doing wood/fire myself, I won't get a proper heal until Dash of Herbs later (right now, it costs my target actions and a free hand to eat my fruit, like a potion) but Timber Sentinel is very worth it in terms of filling the same role, especially since its a deterministic reduction...

They're both pretty sick, I think Guardian really needs tuning more than anything else, they have to polish up that catch-22 to really make it shine.

Usually what happened in practice is that unless there was a time crunch, we'd establish what kind of healing our characters were capable of, and then full heal with the knowledge that we most certainly have enough time, actually counting it when time is short as a minigame. If you know for...

That makes sense, I spend a lot of time in exploration and downtime mode too, so for me it's kind of both.

Both, Medic Dedication uses Treat Wounds but benefits Battle Medicine somewhat as well, Elyessa can life boost someone every 10 minutes so in a lot of situations she can just full heal the party, while Nolder's healing just all works out of combat too. I'm thinking primarily of the in combat...

One thing I've been catching myself thinking about lately is how well Pathfinder 2e handles healing as a playstyle, for one thing its very useful to have someone actively on it dedicated to it (or for multiple someone's to pick up smaller forms of it) for taking on encounters on the upper end of...

The effect of seeing Wayne Reynolds style en masse across a bunch of Hardcovers splattered with the Pathfinder logo is actually some insane level of product identity, it really conveys that there's this whole cool ecosystem of high adventuring fantasy you can dive into. I honestly think they're...

Commander has been confirmed to be able to grant actions and reactions, I am so excited to be able to Warlord in this system, I hope that you can Lazylord it if you choose. Guardian is cool too, I always like Tanks, but Commander is what my excitement is.

So there's a lot here to discuss Between the two books (war of the Immortals and Lost Omens Divine Mysteries) we're getting several long awaited character options like a Cleric-that-actually-just-hits-things-for-a-living (we've been promised it trades Divine Font, your 4 free castings of heal...

Yeah, I largely see it as being one of a few big things the system played actually matters for, either you're playing a game where decisions have asymmetrical consequences and therefore those consequences have to be weighed, and a decision can be better or worse, or you're playing a game where...

Oh thats actually really cool, ill take a look sometime.

I can't say that I have, what's the intersection?

Princess Play and Dollhouse Play both seem like key components of OC (again, not committing to a distinction between that and neotrad) and in some ways those actually describe a seeming tension from earlier neotrad threads: whether "power gaming character optimization" is an element of OC play...

Hey that's fine, dislike is dislike.

I don't think any format is really perfect for every person, the most I can say is that I've seen them work well with enough different people, there's certainly something to be said for siloing the knowledge to create the sense of archaeology you can get from uncovering something you don't have...
