Two items are already lost at the end of the list, so sure.

we converted over from Tavern Tales in the middle of House of the Beast, so we're level 6
it's nice to have a range of spells/invocations, and I haven't found it too difficult to get a handle on everything even though we didn't start at level 1
@A.McCurran All 3 pacts, actually. They only included 1 subclass for every other class, but the Warlock has 2 subclass choices, so they included all of the pact options but only one patron.
out of five characters, everyone in our party chose something with spellcasting capabilities - 2 warlocks, a druid, a cleric, and a fighter who took the eldritch knight option.
at first I was surprised, but then I noticed just how many of the 5e classes are spellcasters of one sort or another
@Miniman "here have the garbage option among the warlock classes. this will give you a great idea of how good the game is. you should give us money for this stuff." 10/10 would pitch like this
@doppelgreener It's not a garbage option by any means; personally, I think it's the best option. Just, from what I know of you I suspect you might find the other options more fun.
From what I've seen, the Archfey patron option tries to be the slippery "avoiding combat with utility" pact, but its abilities often have too many caveats--like a lot of enemies being immune to them.
Compare 4e's fey pact powers, which let you teleport whenever a cursed target drops to 0 hp, and your spammable attack power makes you invisible to the target.
That's some good solid "I fight on my terms" utility.
yeah i will definitely not be going into 5e expecting to get the 4e 'lock experience
the 4e 'lock operated well with 4e's paradigm of saying "here, have a whole ton of cool unique awesome fun stuff you can do, just for becoming this class at level one."
which worked well because 4e was built for a world where you were already a singularly enormously powerful individual by the point you were level 1; there are not many other people in the world like you, if any.
I'm looking into the possibility of putting it on DMs Guild as a pay-what-you-want. I saw an index for (something... spells?) for the print books, so there's some precedent
@doppelgreener IIRC you can eventually figure out how to turn it into a sword of lifeflamesummoning, but that's after they start using exponential notation for lollipops and candies.
Today we played Lasers & Feelings. One crew member saved a ship from burning up on re-entry, and the other crew member defected to the despot's army using the first crew member as a character reference.
"Who is this? How did you get my number?" "This is Zorgon the Conquerer. On a scale of one to five, how would you rate your ship doctor's dedication to being a team player?"
It concluded with the ship's doctor prescribing sedatives to Zorgon and his entire army, and the scientist nailing Zorgon with a ballistic shuttlecraft.
> The Universe is full of big troubles. When people need a hand, they write letters to the Temple asking for help from the pilgrims — young travelers with good intentions, the ability to fly, and not much else! The pilgrims come to help, but they get into a lot of trouble along the way. Growing up is crazy! (source)
It's a GMless game where your characters are defined by how they help people and how they get in trouble.
Each turn you semi-randomly (draw two-colored stones from a bag, put back one color, count how many are left) decided what combination of help and trouble your pilgrim will experience. For each time your pilgrim helps someone, you write a sentence describing it. For each time your pilgrim gets in trouble, the rest of the group collaborates to write that sentence.
@BESW well, that is what happens when the game has a save button, no load button, and doesn't specifically tell you how you should use the code you get from clicking save
hrmpf... need someone to review edits... because there is a need to differ Exalted 2 telated rule question from Exalted 3 related questions... at least imho.
and better to tag them now as you can stll try to differ between 2E and 3E... and maybe there are some questions about 1E out there.
With Exalted currently in the 3rd edition (since this year), we should make sure that those 2nd/2.5th Edition Questions are marked distinct from those that target 3rd Edition specifically.
At the moment, I know of 1 question about 3rd Edition specifically:

@Trish and if you want to link specifically to a tag on meta and not on main site, you can use [meta-tag:tag-goes-here], e.g. [meta-tag:status-complete] -> status-complete
@Trish write it as a sup<sup>1</sup> and then later down write 1: loremipsum or <sup>1: loremipsum</sup> depending on whether you want it in bigger text or smaller text.
the only special formatting here is the superscript provided by the <sup> element. there is also subscript with <sub>.
i did however use my wishing well opportunity to get a bunch of scrolls and potions, so i've discovered a berserk potion exists... but not how to make it.
@trogdor I was going to say that FF(1) and Myst were the last console and computer games that I'd finished... then I remembered the greatest (by enjoyment to programming ratio) game ever: candy box
@nitsua60 Fun thing I've found: acid rain / earthquake scrolls kill the enemies but don't wipe them off the map. Instead your hero approaches a 0hp avatar and just collects the loot. On the cow level, though, the avatars move around, and they still move around even if you've killed them all with acid rain, giving you a bunch of technically dead cows running around.
So it's been suggested that I write up my module ideas and put them up on the DM's Guild as "pay what you want" titles. I probably won't make more than a few bucks, but it should be a fun exercise at least. Any advice for doing this?
Oh, so full on modules (say, 2-4 or even 8-hour adventures)? When you said "module ideas" I wasn't sure if you meant something like one-paragraph descriptions of an adventure.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks! I'm putting it together on the homebrewery, which is really cool. I learned about it from someone who was trying to put together a Dark Souls D&D conversion.
Yeah, the one time I contacted DM's Guild people they were good about providing a confirmation quickly, another day or two a really detailed answer, then really responsive with the two or three follow-ups that spawned.

@LegendaryDude Basically -- trying to rescue any one particular question is a major faux pas.
Specific question points are worthless.
If someone opened a specific question, there's no reason that specific question ID has to be open. Especially not if you're going to the extent of changing it to something it wasn't. Questions don't need rescuing.
Closing a new person's first question isn't always pleasant but it's actually shown to have similar user retention rates to like, basically any other action. That means: it has no effect at all on average. Some people get angry about it. That's why we need to talk them through it.
Thank you for posting your own self Q&A.
I dare say if that huge change hadn't been made we could instead be talking about how the dude was just looking for an RPG, and there is one, and it's effectively just a "does this exist" question, which is a whole different thing, but right now I am reluctant to go into that.
"Don't change questions into something totally different" is almost universally the case, unless we're actually workshopping someone's own question. And "don't change posts in a way that wholly changes someone's content and intent" is always a content guideline.
Ok, well he's edited that question and explicitly brougth it up.
I am interested in knowing if a particular type of product exists, that is a campaign setting entirely divorced from a game system.
