Very satisfied. I've been playing with them since 2008. Latest addition to our group is my yunger brother. We are also very good and close knit friend group outside of gaming. I couldn't wish for better group of people to enjoy this hobby.

Extra work is always required to tune up system. But 5ed required minor tweaks and mostly removing stuff which is easier than adding or reworking. D&D, and any system with levels and classes, doesn't support horizontal character growth well. Also, it doesn't support "very powerfull but very...

It's not perfect, but it's good enough and things i want from system, it delivers out of box. Only thing it lacks is options for grimer and deadlier game, but that i can do with some easy tweaks. And to be honest, d&d, no matter what edition, isn't my favourite system.

Satisfied. 5e D&D is my main system and it does what it should do, plus it meshes well with play style i like. It would be higher, but i needed to do some solid house ruling for my DMing style.

Tbh best monk i played was pf1 unchained monk. D10, full bab, unarmed damage starting with d6 and going to d8 and d10, then it just doubles for lv 11-12 with 2d6 2d8 2d10. 5e monk is underwhelming, specially in tier1 and 2 where most games are played. Too few ki points. Weak defense. Serious...

I have couple variants, depending on what homebrew i run. For my ravenloft inspired grim world - there are no real gods. There is organised religion based on orhodox christianity, just called The faith and God. Divine magic is just magic, same as arcane. They just use prayer like meditations to...

As a player, i can count on my fingers how many campaigns we finished. To be fair, decent amount of them were open ended sandbox types with no clear end. We play until we got bored or someone had idea for something new. We have one grand campaign consisting of 3 separate campaigns in which every...

It's market of more than 200 milion people, decent amount of it is in EU, purchasing power is rising. People are willing to pay for products. Just not for a product that is available for free. If you have decent srd as a tech demo which shows good side of your game, people will buy it. It's...

First,i have friend in publishing industry. Profit margins on books are rather slim. Second, i know mindset of tipical consumer/customer in eastern and south eastern Europe (aka post comunist states). "Why pay for something that you can get for free" is common tought. Plus, intelectual...

Cool. I'll check free stuff from their page first. Is there anything in paid PDF that's not in free stuff? Mechanics wise i mean. If not, i'll stick to free stuff. 😊

Nope. Didn't have a clue. I'm just discussing merits of different business models and possible pros & cons. A5E wasn't on my radar. Will download free stuff tho and have a look. But looking at price tag ( with shipping) of 77 euros. Ouch. 😅

@EzekielRaiden Serious question. Why don't you play 4th edition? You like design paradigme and AEDU. You like how it handled things.

I'm not saying they don't have value for everybody. They have. Yes, they make money on books. But full free version of game is eating into the profits. And how much they make on dead tree products is more and more questionable, even for big companies,with rising cost of transportation and...

Digital phbs lack hyperlinks and don't have option of multiple tabs open at same same time.

And there are tons of other games without full on srd-s. Like Chaosium games, old White Wolf games, SJG etc Nope. Never bought any of it. But i bought core rulebooks for CoC, oWoD and nWoD game lines, 7th sea core rulebook. I buy core books and player option books plus monster compendiums...

Which ones did it? Paizo? Aren't they doing the same with PF2? If there is any other that has srd with full game mechanics, i would be very grateful if you could point it out. I like free stuff. Bare bones mechanics are enough to play the game. Book, prose, art has value, sure, but those are...

No. I'm saying that srds which don't contain everything are more like demos. You get preview of how game works, how classes operate, but if you want full game, pay for it. If demo is interesting enough, people will pay for full stuff. What is incentive to buy 40-50 euro book if you can have...

Base line of just enough G in RPG was 5ed when it came out. Too much G was 3.x/PF1 at the end of it's lifecycle. When game has so many options for creating player characters and lots of those are bad/trap options, but you need good system mastery to recognize them as such, that's too much for...

Paizo's business model is based on sales of adventure paths. From almost all pf1 players i met ( couple of dozen, more or less), there were only couple of them who bought any pf1 books ( usually core rulebook). Why pay for stuff if it's free online, legeal and easy to access? This way, they...

@I'm A Banana Your idea of Martial exploits look a lot like manouvers and stances from 3.5e Bo9S. Not magic per se, but bordering supernatural ( going on wuxia style of fighters). It's basicly spellcasting mechanic with levels, slots and explits know, just not magic. Personally, i like it...
