However, primary casters have been around a lot longer and are stronger. And unlike a rogue or a White Raven warblade or even a cheesed-out BoEF bard, the summoner doesn't really get any uniquely powerful schticks that they can feebly wave about when the full casters are bragging. It has a non SR a...

Magic item pricing is still at the early 3e level ... ie everything is horribly overpriced unless something slips through the cracks (boots of speed) or more likely someone wants to gift their favourite class (I don't see how something like sniper goggles gets published otherwise). WotC was learning...

Star War's problem is jedi. Either play an all-jedi campaign, or an all-mundane campaign, or you balance jedi and mundanes, and find a way to deal with the fanboys who think jedi are gods and should be treated as such. Actually the fanboys aren't the problem ... if the non jedi players are willing ...

According to Amazon and Wikipedia, Mouse Guard's publisher is Archaia Entertainment , which was founded by a comic book creator who presumably had some knowledge of comic book and hobby distributors. I think the latter was less important than having an existing franchise with an audience, a signifi...

WotC puts itself in a lose lose situation. Making the game recognizable is not incompatible with fixing it ... it's just incompatible with Mearl's ego. Want to unite the player base? Put someone in charge with a little less ego and simply take what's workable from previous editions, it doesn't have ...

definitely yes now, maybe or maybe not later, depending on the circumstances. :/ Yep, that downside to this approach is that your storm wizard who can use lightning to drill through earth barriers may not be appropriate for every 13th Age campaign. That wouldn't be so bad ... but what you suggest a...

Re: Economic no Brainers
Eliminate the Mortgage interest tax deduction. Bigger homes get bigger deductions, it's a regressive policy that distorts the price of housing for everyone. Use the increased income to lower taxes for the poor and middle class directly (most of them say). Makes you unelectable with baby boomers. Ze...

And if it isn't a requirement, why have it at all? The kind of people who unironically use the word rollplayer seem really incredibly fond of trap options with impressive sounding fluff ... I think a game would disappoint them if they couldn't flaunt their disregard for character competence by taki...

I wonder if marrying a subscription VTT with the living campaign could be successful. Having maps and encounters pre-assembled makes running the living campaign modules a lot easier ... and they could give each subscriber a free weeks pass they could gift to a DM who runs their living campaign modul...

Saying that polymorph is now fly+disguise+bull's strength is really lame. Be that as it may, it's possible to balance and can result in a non useless spell ... and there is no reason to beg your DM for anything in this case. Any creature in the right size category and with large enough wings (ie. m...

The thing the caster turns into isn't as powerful as the original, which sucks. Meh, I can live with it ... I don't understand your all or nothing mentality, not having polymorph at all also sucks. You have to explain why turning into an eagle still means that you cant fly or see better. Personally...

Well, then your game can't have in-combat stealth Just because it can be detected doesn't mean it can be pinpointed. but more importantly it only solves the problem in that one specific case. PCs will still slapfight to unlock mobility and healing powers. For healing powers you just add a [non-esca...
