In my many years of playing and running games I have only rarely seen behaviour that even comes close to this.

For me, spells having a light touch as regards to rules is fantastic. It lets magic feel magical and really frees up player creativity. I dislike spells that dictate exactly what the magic can and cannot do, exact distances, how its cast, etc. I love having casters say, "Hey, can I tweak this...

Well. I felt my character was really unique in a game I was in because he was a normal human ranger with a very mundane background. The other three characters were very non-standard, with unique backgrounds, so I stood out. 😂 Having said this I enjoy having weird or unique characters too...

I'm running Black Sword Hack. We've been playing regularly for months with absolutely no problems. The whole game is 103 pages. The Characters are well developed and jt feels like Sword & Sorcery. I'm currently playing in a long running Shadowdark game. Prince Valiant, Mouseritter, Ars Magica...

I find that too many rules and subsystems bog a game down to the point that versimiltude, that all those rules are trying to support in the first place, gets lost.

Me too. I'm loving my 100 page smaller size Black Sword Hack, while at the same time having a blast with Old Gods and the extra bits from the KS.

He's very excited about the system and it does look good. I'm pretty sure he'll be adding lots of supplements, provided it has the support. Dungeon Coach has shifted to full time you tuber and game designer. I'm feeling pretty optimistic for him. Like other successful you tubers, DC built up an...

A5e for sure! I love the herirage/culture system. Making characters is a lot of fun and all three books are useful. I use Trials and Treasures frequently and find the Monster book to be way more interesting than 5e. The dungeon supplement is extremely well done. Our only minor quibble is that...

Since @Oofta is replacing the features with ones which work better for his game, why the pushback? Players are getting features...

I haven't home brewed mixed heritages yet but it'll probably happen. I love the mixed heritage system. I had a gnome/halfling ranger and recently a human/dwarf wizard.

I'm so sorry. It's never easy. Buddy seems like he was a great friend.

Dice for me too! I have (so far) resisted a beautiful etched glass set that's over $100 Canadian. So far...

Memory not so reliable... It really felt like the end...

Really? I don't remember that. Let's bring the healer back! 🦄😀

Theses are my Warlord class recollections: Near the end of 3.5 WotC published a miniatures/warfare type supplement. It introduced the Marshall and Healer classes. The book was not well received, except for the Marshall class. 4e came out not too long after, and the Marshall moved into the new...
