    D&D General D&D Archetypes that spread out to other settings and media

    As an aside, CAS is cleary the most innovative writer among them. Howard is probably the best writer from a purely skilled prose and storytelling perspective. Lovecraft is the most aggravating, I guess.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Is 2026's Big Adventure

    Interesting. How do you square that theory with.B&G explicitly stating that they are holding off giving dates until WotC announces the product?

    Distinct Game Modes: Combat vs Social vs Exploration etc...

    I do think we go through periods where it seems like everyone is talking about one game or system (besides 5E) for an extended period. And DH was that for a bit around its release. I am just saying that it does not feel there there is a single game or system dominating the non-5E conversation...

    That's fair, but that isn't the same thing as the design failing in its intent.

    It is among those 5E-response games. But it is hardly the only one. For the record, I really like Daggerheart, and it is A hawtness, but it isn't dominating the conversation.

    Distinct Game Modes: Combat vs Social vs Exploration etc...

    I kind of feel like there isn't a "new hotness" right now. There are a bunch of 5E games, and a bunch of 5E-response games, and a bunch of Shadowdark, and a bunch of new licensed games. We are in a pretty diverse period.

    You can just say you don't understand Fate. We can help get you there.

    I think FitD already had its moment. I have no seen a new one in a while.

    Distinct Game Modes: Combat vs Social vs Exploration etc...

    I think Blades in the Dark is a game that is well designed with different modes of play intentionally baked into the design, to the point of breaking up actual play sessions into specific phases. I think that is a feature of the FitD system, rather than the PbtA antecedent, but I could be wrong...

    Release New Daggerheart-Compatible Campaign Released: Throne of the Arch-Heart Now on DriveThruRPG

    Is this an officially licensed Exandria adventure? If so, I am surprised that CR would allow you to use AI art in the project.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Time-Based Combat System for 5e (2014): Replacing Actions with Seconds and Making Movement Matter

    I am always fooling around with a competitive D&D concept I call "DungeonBall" and one of the things I have considered a couple times in the process is second by second initiative. One square at a time. If you attack, it costs seconds. If you cast, you have to wait seconds. Like that. It is...

    Here is a link: The Inside Story of the Making of Warcraft, Part 1 - Kotaku Tl;dr version is that they wanted to get the license, could not secure it, and were better off for it.

    There were, they were just GM facing procedures usually tied to some d6 roll or another. It is unsurprising that GMs just started winging it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Only time will tell. I do think there will be a X&T replacement sooner rather than later.

    Dragonborn are not draconians. Like, not even a little.
