Answering my own question - it was dead earth

What was the name of that unplayable RPG that had a chat room here dedicated to character creation?

Some class features are now class-specific spells instead, it's a bit weird

@AncientSwordRage yes, a pretty big one this time. Warlocks, fighters, barbarians, wizards, sorcerers, weapon properties, Weapon Mastery, some class-specific spells.

@NautArch as long as it doesn't have the pellet with the poison (I'm not over 50 either)

@GcL I really hate how everything is a Discord instead of a forum these days... Discord is for near-real-time communication, forums are for longer timespans.

I'll have to try reading it again, it didn't click with me last time. I think it took a while for me to get into The Killing Moon, too. I like Jemisin's writing, it's just a less easy read than some.

@BESW in what way? (I have it, but haven't looked at it yet)

Neither is exactly the same as multiclassing or gestalt in 3e & later

@Zachiel actually, it's the other way around. AD&D multiclassing (which is only available to non-humans) has you divide your XP among several classes & progress all of them at once. Dual classing (which is for humans only) has you stop progressing in your original class & take a new one.

Also, this must be A Sign Of The End Times™ - the Not A Bar has been frozen for inactivity

@Zachiel Likes D&D 3.5e but finds Pathfinder 1e too complex - there's not a LOT of difference between the two...

@BESW theresattrpgforthat.tumblr.com/rss looks like a valid RSS feed?

TIL there is a @trogdor boardgame

For those who like D&D 4e, Bundle of Holding has a bundle of Goodman Games 4e supplements & adventures

@KorvinStarmast I assume they've already approved a 3rd season, because the last episode of S2 was half tying up plot threads, and the other half introducing a bunch of new ones.

Sounds like the main plot of Six of Crows will be a big part of season 3. Interested to see how well they adapt it.

I just finished watching Shadow & Bone season 2. Very enjoyable. I watched S1, loved the Crows, found out they're from a spinoff book series, so read those (still haven't read the original trilogy). Kind of disappointed that they didn't do a more accurate adaptation of those books... but on the other hand, I get to see these characters in new adventures!

(over $2000 value, buy for $5 or more)

Bundle: TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Florida A bundle of over 500 TTRPG items, supporting trans rights in Florida.

ugh, I've been on social media too long. Some questions, I just want to answer with [haha-no.gif]

Is anyone able to thaw the One D&D Survey Suggestions room? They released a new playtest document today, so I'm sure people will want to discuss it.

@Alan We called it Rollmaster

With the number of D&D clones around (and more on the way, thanks to the OGL debacle), some people have asked, why not ditch the old 3-18 attributes and just keep the bonuses. I was trying to find a way to roll up scores on that scale (-3 to +4) while still staying kind of close to the 3d6/4d6 curve. Looks like 1d5-1d4 is fairly close, and (highest 1 of 2d5) - (highest 1 of 2d4) is even closer. anydice.com/program/2de9f

I was looking for the open source TTRPG jam I saw on itch.io a month or two ago. I fell down the rabbithole of itch jams... and found this: 3rd Party Content For "5E" Game Jam (no, not that 5e)

Bother. I was writing an answer and the question got deleted.

@Alan I think it's "until they meet adventurers" ;)

@Alan I haven't read any of Bujold's SF, but her fantasy is great. Reading Penric's Progress now.

@Alan got it already, thanks :)

@Alan Good answer. I'm just starting to learn PF2e. I've got as far as character creation... (I'm using an app, but I've read enough of the book that I think I understand the underlying rules.)

I've heard good things about Attack the Block, haven't seen it yet

Speaking of urban fantasy/supernatural... has anyone watched Lockwood & Co? I really enjoyed it, some interesting worldbuilding. A friend has read some of the books & said the TV show changes some things but makes it better.

@Alan Not off the top of my head. And with a quick search, I only found innate spellcasting. There's no index/search that I can find that includes "<class> spellcasting" as a filter.

@BESW Kobolds Ate My Baby has a new edition in BackerKit right now

I made some characters to get the feel of it. Trying to match D&D stereotypes as close as possible, to lure my players in... I made a barbarian-like character - a Mighty Warrior who Rages; and a rogue-like character - a Graceful Explorer (with stealth flavour) who Explores Dark Places.

And it's a setting-neutral system, with genre guides for fantasy, scifi, historical, etc

It has a nice balance between crunch & narrative (somewhere between D&D and Fate, say). Sounds like DM prep will be easier than D&D. It still uses d20-roll-high, so it's not too foreign for D&D players. And it has some interesting character options.

I've been reading the Cypher system. Haven't played it yet, but it sounds good.

Just had a quick read-through of the latest playtest.

@AncientSwordRage the Wildshape changes seem fairly unpopular

@AncientSwordRage the paladin & druid ones, or all of One D&D in general?

"You can use Divine Smite no more than once during a turn, and you can’t use it on the same turn that you cast a spell."

🥳

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're doing better.

@Phoenices Well, yeah.

@KorvinStarmast Of course not. It's an Arcane Trickster using Mage Hand...

@SPArcheon yeah, I had huge problems making a leopard-skinned tabaxi without them wearing leopard-print clothing as well
