Folks overly concerned about the math in DH are focusing on the wrong thing, IMO.

What 90s Star Wars stuff was "good"? I sure hope you don't cite Luuuuuuuuuuuke.

Nothing says "Everyone is welcome" quite like "You aren't allowed to participate or even read because I think your your stance on player agency is questionable."

Debate is good. Let's avoid attacks tho.

I think you are asking too muych of Star Wars. Star Wars has always been bad and dumb and poorly written, but has GREAT vibes. Star Wars, more than any long running fandom IP, is built entirely around vibes. It has very rarely been honestly Good (some portions of Clone Wars, as well as ESB...

If that's the usual, how can you be disappointed? ;)

I don't think the Druid's inherent bonuses to success are higher than anyone else's, so they are going to fail as often as anyone else, no?

It is kind of hard to spotlight hog in DH because a failed roll or a roll with fear moves the spotlight to the GM. When it moves back, the game state will have very likely changed and so chances are one character, even if overtuned, can't do everything.

I thought the acolyte had lots of potential, but unfortunately the Usual Suspects decided to review bomb it and attack it for the dumbest reasons.

It seems very odd to level "they are playing to the audience" as some sort of criticism of what is essentially a TV show. of course they are playing to the audience. That is literally their job. That doesn't mean they aren't playing D&D to the audience, though.

I really, REALLY hate the use of video game terminology with relation to tabletop D&D memes and posts. And I love video games. But they are different.

UPDATE: It is time for the climactic battle against the BBEG! The PCs are 17th level and are going to have to assault the Usurper's palace and deal with all of his collected defenses. They have allies (including a ancient red wyrm) but are going to have go through a whole gauntlet of death! I...

First and foremost, it ws a breath of frsh air when it premiered -- the first truly innovative D&D setting in years (since the final days of TSR). Second, it really did decide to embrace all of the D&D things -- in the best ways possible since Earthdawn came out. In short, Eberron is an awesome...

Can someone tell me about Index Card RPG? it seems to come up a lot with the question about gear-only advancement. Thanks.

The Greeks didn't believe they wandered the earth either.

[NOTE: I am starting this thread because I am going to ask for a game recommendation but I figured we mightaswell have a central threads for such questions so others can ask and find answers easily.] I am looking for a game/system that has mostly gear based advancement. I have an idea for a...

5E's success is not due to its rules, at least not completely. I would argue even 4E would have taken off if it had landed when 5E did. The driver was the world, from nerdstalgia to the pandemic.

How did you feel in 2001?

I know it will never happen for a lot of reasons,but I would totally support a complete reboot from first principles. Give us The Star Wars and go from there.

Sadly, I don't think there will ever be a true new edition.
