The only better way to spend your time is killing space nazis (so I started Star Wars Outlaw).

I am pretty sure the update specifically coincided with the PS5 release.

What are you even talking about? Max was a major component of that film. But OH NO, there was also another, female main character.

I haven't played the Avowed re-design yet: what were they aiming for?

I don't think that is the factor. After all, we call them roleplaying games, which strongly suggests that roleplaying is a thing independent of the game part. After all, we can roleplay with out therapists and our SOs, with needing dice.

I am anti-respawn myself, only because I like feeling like I accomplished something.

I don't think so. Inhabiting a character to write them or play them on stage is not the same thing as roleplaying. I think.

This page is showing me 10 posts with no option to change it, so...

FYI for anyone looking to play the new Avowed patch: apparently they changed it so the enemies DO respawn now. Some folks seem unhappy about that.

Also, for what it is likely to make moneywise, it just probably is not a real big priority for Blizzard (who even if not actually making the game probably has some pretty stringent review requirements). On the upside, I get the impression that they want it pretty complete before funding, so if...

This thread is going to suffer from the problem of people confusing "was really important to me at the time" with "good."

You still have other people to whom you are responding. Anyway, i do not intend to disparage. I get how folks call this roleplaying. My brother roleplays in Skyrim all the time (by, like you say, making decisions his character would make). My knee jerk is to tie roleplaying strongly to...

That's... not how DH works at all.

Similar: in Daggerheart, the PCs go in whatever order they want, but if a PC fails a roll, or rolls success with Fear (ie a complication) the spotlight shifts to the GM, who can then activate monsters, environments, whatever. Once the GM is done, the spotlight shifts back to the PCs.

This, too, is a perfect film.

When the last few pages are just 2 posters, the thread is dead.

Essentially the Daggerheart method.

What if we got rid of initiative entirely and everyone wrote down their action(s) and then revealed, with everything happening simultaneously and the GM adjudicating the fallout?

I really don't think GMs or other players at the table should be auditing one's roleplaying performance.

I think it is interesting that even while there seems to be lots of demand for a simpler, more streamlined, more fun 5E, WotC went the opposite direction with 5E 2024: they added new subsystems and at least partially switched from natural language by the rule-speak.
