Hardcore History got four episodes worth of listen out of me. Two of those four left me incandescent with rage. First off, thank you . I commented nothing previously because the number of times I heard his voice (or, I think, even read a direct quote) is exactly 0 , so I thought voicing a strong op...

O Great Fence Builder,

could you change my name to STSilva? It being from my birth name, I wouldn't change it further in any case I can conceive now. (FWIW, I intend to acknowledge the previous name in the signature.)

I suspect WotC is earning a decent chunk of its money from 3.x (and earlier) .pdf sales on RPGNow right now.

Going with eleven, there can be three Japanese-coded clans, three Chinese-coded clans, and then one each coded for Koreans, Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus, and Vietnamese. If you were to include everyone adjacent to China proper, you'd also have the Tai peoples and the Tarim Basin people. The first ...

I've no actual dog in this race, but if anything, it's politics that doesn't belong in MPSIMS; after all, the latter stands for "Mundane and Pointless Stuff I Must Share" - that is about whichever TV you're watching, and (hopefully) not about how to oppose Trump.

I propose a Team SGT. If you add your class to a party of 3 monks does your team become better or worse than 4 monks? What about to a team of 3 fighters? A team of 3 rogues? An interesting formulation, but might require some careful thought about which class(es) best represent(s) each level - not n...

,

The problem with the archivist is: it might be "wizard-level" by Balance Points criteria, but it's by a substantial margin one the weakest there, and it's not slightly hard to end up with one that isn't meaningfully better than a decent rogue (it's not inconceivable to end up at monk-level...

Nobody recommended Strong Female Protagonist yet? I'm not the only one to think it started kinda lackluster, but it improves quickly and greatly; do start from the start, and it has alt-text.

Overall, they are a far smaller operation than a lot of the already established stores. No doubt (choosing to devote to one (arguably subdivision of a) system helps ...), but fixing the registering fields, at least, is ... more trivial than I have words to describe (to the extent that it obviously ...

Having just used the store, I can say: how about one that doesn't suck all the barrels (the registering is counter-intuitive, and I could only download from the e-mail, not from ... my actual account) Having seen this, I've decided to submit my book to drivethrurpg earlier than planned.

I forgot about the requirement of specific styles.

OK, I'll bite: I see no unworkability other than it being "too broad" (according to you, I guess). Is it really that you want no class less specific than the jester to exist, or I missed something else? (As for "bards that only sing outside of fighting", that's called having ritu...

I'm proud of the underlying concept of my bard, but it's not even remotely finished. Just on a textual level it's all fucked up.
