Re: Wizards informally announces 5.5 edition
Yes, but this way Wizards makes more money. I have a sneaking suspicion Hasbro is getting tired of their shit and is telling them "either monetize DnD or fire everybody who's not working on MtG."

Re: D&D, multiple attacks, and an alternative
I refer to that resource management thread all the time: http://www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=53893 As for reducing the cost of lower level abilities, that can get weird. It's more straightforward to either have abilities scale up to remain relevant, and limit the number of them available, or...

Re: mechanics for armor quality / Soak + armor coverage
Little Timmy, the NPC the PCs are trying to protect is instant dead when an enemy has him within sight as they can 100% blow his brains out because misses aren't part of the system. Having some sort of defense action to negate some number of incoming attacks would go a long way, as would giving som...

Re: D&D, multiple attacks, and an alternative
I feel like if one were to do a deep dive into European warrior fantasy, there's plenty of anime fightan magick to be found. People wrestling bears, hulking brutes that can chop several men in half with a single sword swing, that sort of thing. Slamming the ground and hitting everyone in a cone or b...

Re: D&D, multiple attacks, and an alternative
If I were implementing this at my table, I'd switch all attacks to AC roll to make it consistent. Having AC roll for AoE attacks but To-Hit roll for single target at the same table is a recipe for frustration.

Re: Coronavirus thread
This really cinches the whole thing nicely. Much like Trump could shoot a man in broad daylight and not lose votes, the GOP can murder thousands of poor people and not lose any districts.

Re: Review: AFF: Blacksand!
I kinda want to play this, only so I can annoy the MC by always pronouncing Blacksand! with gusto, even though the name of the city doesn't have the bang. Were I to run it myself, I'd probably just steal the setting and the concept that the players are somewhat self aware action movie characters and...

Re: Why are kobolds?
They could use both reproduction methods. Lonely dragon eggs hatch into fully grown adults, and once you've got two kobolds, they quickly set about having babies of their own. So our lonely dragon has a dozen able helpers and at least as many more in diapers. Also keep in mind that dragons plan on a...

By now the crew have given up fighting the primal power of the storm. The sails have been hauled in , the cargo secured. Sounds like someone doesn't know how ships work. The natural action of the waves is to turn the ship sideways and then flip it. You need the sails out to keep the ship turned int...

A 1-6 chance to win at 6-1 payout in an illegal gambling operation? Yep, I totally believe that's a fair wheel. While you could theoretically get positive EV by betting late on the number with the fewest other bets, I doubt the book is going to let us do that. Let's just watch and see if something i...
