  • Do you have a system you like where healing is a good idea? I'm a 3.5 native so I'm kind of used to the philosophy of "the best healing is killing them before you take damage." But I'm interested in systems design in general and if there's a particularly good example of doing it better I'd love to learn about it.

  • Really? I actually think it's one of the strengths of 5e. In 3.5 you just have negative hitpoints down to -10, and that doesn't scale with level or anything so it's barely relevant after the first few levels. And it's nice to not be just DRT when you get downed in combat.

  • "I don't want Politics in my Gaming!"

    Jump

  • You slightly moved the goalposts there. The assertion is not "Everything is making a political statement" it's "Everything is political." Your ikea glass reflects your social class, the international relations between where you are and where it was made. It may have been made by an oppressed person in some third world shithole (or even sweden!) It may even be a political statement, like a designer somewhere made it curvy because he thinks people are more likely to buy something with a "feminine" silhouette.

    Jump

  • Well, the goal of rent seeking is to collect money, without giving any products or services in return. And without a product, you don't need a Product team.

  • Better don’t give martials any weapons and casters no spellcasting then…

  • "Selectively simulationist" is a great way to put it. I think everyone falls victim to that from time to time and I'm definitely stealing your turn of phrase.

  • Disco lost me when I got to the episode where everyone is going to die unless the main character cAn tAlK tO a bOy aT tHe dAnCe!

    Lower Decks was fun though. And I've watched like, 1 episode of SNW but it was a good pilot. Haven't plumbed the depths of the rest of nutrek yet.

  • I was too lazy to make it but I was thinking earlier today of doing a "I hate nutrek because it's derivative and centrist, you hate it because you are a nazi, we are not the same" meme. (Not that I'm calling you a nazi, this was just an idea I had, not directed at you)

  • Ohhhh they hate nutrek, got it.

  • Some have figured out how to eliminate Product. It's called rent-seeking behavior or more recently neo-feudalism. The short version is you organize society such that everyone is required to give you all their money all the time or die. See for example the health insurance industry.

  • People are asking for RICK BERMAN back!? Is this a mirrorverse thing?

  • Dick gets Tarred

  • Nah, no one here likes that show.

    Jump

  • Specialization is good, because when everybody in the party is good at one narrow field we all get to take turns doing cool things. If you make a character that's good at everything, nobody else gets to do anything.

  • So much potential!

  • Wow, they really don't let you have fun in 5e do they?

    Jump

  • "Matrix" is a pretty difficult-to-search name. What is it? Federated IRC?

  • We've all done it

    Jump

  • There are some formats where inventory management becomes interesting again. We tried doing a Hexcrawl earlier this year and there was a lot of interesting gameplay to be had in the risk/reward management of how many supplies they wanted to carry vs how much they wanted to invest in pack animals, limiting their ability to carry loot back, carrying this vs that, guessing how much they'll use before they can resupply or where future resupplies might be, gambling on whether to press forward and risk running out or turn back, that kind of thing. It's just the more currently popular adventure structures right now (eg linear or branching narratives) where inventory tracking is superfluous.
