    D&D 5E (2024) The impact of reducing Ability Scores?

    I like the idea. Starting with less buying points is the other method. Limiting/caping scores for races or certain levels is another way assist in players not min/maxing too much. Requiring a feat for multi-classing is what I'm using for our 2014 game. We also have benefits for odd-numbered...

    Homebrew 2d10 vs 1d20

    I suspect high AC would likely become an issue. With this system I would likely incorporate Degrees of Success - particularly in combat. One could also incorporate open ended doubles. i.e. a double 8, allows you another d10. If another 8 is thrown you can keep rolling a d10 (or you can say it is...

    Wizards of the Coast hiring TRPG Publishing Lead to coordinate third-party publishing

    I very much like the job objectives. Clear communication is the necessary skill for the person who undertakes this. You get the wrong person and its losses (time and financial) for all concerned.

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    Official rules and errata on said rules on OP content are covered by WotC and forums such as this. Easy for a table to quickly arrive to an answer for a problematic element within the rules. 3pp material that are OP requires the DM to engage much more on the design aspect. Also you're now maybe...

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    Typically in D&D, the DM is the Master of the Setting. If they have 5 players bringing them 3pp player-material (because if it is done once the floodgates for such become open) then they may feel the need to vet this new material to see if is compatible and balanced for the game they are...

    Artemis II (+)

    Ok. Let me clarify my confusion - what scenario are you imagining where NASA would be reluctant to ok a pic for public consumption?

    Artemis II (+)

    I think NASA has been doing a bang up job on their own for the CT by just offering stills and indoor activities instead of releasing motion footage of earth, the thousands of satellites etc. It is a real shame to have their single GoPro not work for the biggest human achievement in the last 50+...

    Artemis II (+)

    Why do you want them to be reviewed by NASA before they get published. I find it an odd inclusion.

    What Are You Listening To? - Reprise

    The last few weeks I've been hooked on listening to this on repeat - obviously drawn to search it from being the background music to so many video shorts in my algorithm. I found out this is an AI version of the original which is not Afro Soul but Pop - And to be honest I much prefer this to the...

    OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

    I cannot agree. The YouTuber from the link in the OP says this version of B/X is not transformative. Having skimmed the book from the youtube video, the book is neatly put together but it does not provide anything new or interesting, IMO of course. There are far better ideas for B/X out there...

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    You may want to switch to a language that agrees with your assertion, because English does not. I suggest you Google it. Fine by me.

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    My comparison was to their longevity due to the fragile nature of a Sole Proprietor and Dictatorship which generally relies on kin. Whereas a political party say in a democratic system and a company do not. Please try not to mix issues. Your initial assertion if you remember was that...

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    Because dictatorships should not be caricatured as it is commonly done for a WWE-loving public. Please repeat after me King Solomon was a selfish, self-serving chaotic evil king. The west loves to demonise and caricature dictators because reasons we are disallowed to elaborate on. I'm not...

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    Hogwash. That is a silly sweeping statement.
