PeterWeller posted:He also uses it to host get togethers with Mordenkainen and Dalamar. The place is pretty choice. It has a library containing just about every spell in the multiverse, and Ed set the place up with AC and a fridge. 3.5 Elminster violated my verisimilitude because he spends a novel boning a lich but does NOT have the Lich-Loved feat WOTC I demand you fix this in 5e. edit: If you haven't burned a Texe Marrs book lol

13th Age is a good game if and only if you are absolutely committed to playing a d20-alike for your recreational pretend-elf times. I mean, it's not the worst game ever or anything, it's perfectly functional, but for tactical dungeon-bashing crunch it doesn't hold a candle to 4E, for swinish theater-of-the-mind shenanigans you're better off with FATE or *World. It has some very neat little mechanics that are best served by snapping them off like Lego bricks and sticking them onto other games (the Icons, the escalation die) and the setting has some neat bits ("orcs" as a fantasy disease, half-orcs being those people who contracted orcism but managed to stave it off) but I think it's hamstrung by trying to adhere to too many dumb D&D sacred cows and in actual gameplay it's neither fish nor fowl, and the few times I've played it all it's done is remind me of other, better games.

Kwyndig posted:Isn't that an optional feat though? Hell is that even first party? I can't remember. It's optional and it's first party - from the Book of Vile Darkness from Monte Cook. But the phrasing isn't you need this feat to bone liches, it's you get this FOR boning liches, so Elminster can take a pass.

Every time Elminster walks into a room and every skeleton doesn't turn and whisper "whoah that is the dude that BONED a lich we better leave him alone, he may lick our faces or something, gross" I shake my head.

A Catastrophe posted:Leaving aside 13a, I have sympathy for the idea of a multi-style RPG. Having tactical crunch one session, and shared narrative the next, using the same, familiar system, strikes me a good goal. WotC just released a new system that is EXACTLY what you're looking for then.
