Guys. Thac0 is literally just (20 - level). Crawford's system is exactly equivalent to old-school systems, the only difference is that he's a competent technical writer.

For all his failings, Raggi's stable includes cool & good people like Ken Hite. Qelong is pretty neat a setting if you're into (quite literal!) fantasy loving Vietnam.

Also Vincent Baker wrote him a book about wizards' towers, that one's probably neat as well.

Try "MTG [monster]" instead. They've been working on making less terrible fantasy art recently. I mean nymphs are still going to be a crapshoot but this isn't awful, I don't think:

I wonder how likely a purist Grey Box + FR1-16 campaign would be to change the mind of someone who likes D&D or "D&D fantasy" but doesn't dig the Forgotten Realms because they view it as Elminister nutting on their faces while gods punch each other out and nothing they do matters because a novel will retcon it anyway? I'm sure people like that are out there.
You just described the gooncensus on the setting. :v:

But yeah that's actually a great idea, I'd play it in a heartbeat.

Hi, I spent like 3 months putting this thing together and here seems like the best place to post it.

SO YOU WANT TO PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, EH?

It might not be what you're looking for. Here's a big list of alternatives, to share with your friends.
You have 13th Age twice under D&D-likes, once in "the same but better" and again under "but more heroic". Darker Dungeons hasn't been available on pdf in ages, but Blacky's new site suggests it might make it to DT soonish: https://gurbintrollgames.wordpress.com/ Also I think first saying "all editions of dee-en-dee are bad no exceptions" and then recommending Literally Basic With Houserules is a bit contradictory. :v:

Edit: Also the "heroics" section is missing Godbound, for shame.

Wait so the artbook for the board game about playing a fake card game includes a roleplaying game set in the promotional anime of the fake card game, which requires the aforementioned board game?

Excuse me but the cornerstone of this entire hobby is built on that mythology. :colbert:

Edit: Also, a couple of years back Wizards introduced the plane of Theros in MTG. You can read about it in their Planeswalker's Guide articles (parts 1, 2 and 3) and in a duology of bad ebook novellas.

I wonder how easy it would be to hack Godbound into a Magic: The Gathering game. Planeswalker powers are pretty ridics after all.

They've also released similar supplements for Innistrad and Zendikar.

It's a bit curious how they've only started making D&D stuff only now. A couple of years back someone hypothesized that Wizards didn't want to cross the streams because D&D supplements might gently caress with the creative team on Magic's end, which sounded reasonable enough. Guess now that D&D team is like one writer and a juror, and the Magic creative is writing big fancy setting artbooks anyway, someone in the Magic team figured they could just brew something up in-house to sell more stuff to D&D nerds.

An Amber hack already exists, and that's vaguely related?
I'm not at all familiar with Amber, other that it's diceless and very storygamey. Is there an F&F about it?

Siivola
Dec 23, 2012

On the one hand I feel you, but on the other, eh, I dunno. I mean, it's not like the D&D rules are a particularly good fit for the setting in the first place, y'know? The Art of Magic: Kaladesh is gonna move way more copies than D&D: Kaladesh ever could, and probably can fit more setting detail to boot without all the rules and numbers getting in the way.

If you added a couple of prestige classes, feats, equipment and two dozen spells, you'd have a classic third edition D&D supplement. :v:

They haven't done Magic tie-in novels for years now (because they didn't sell, natch), but basically yes.

I suddenly feel that even though I'm about to buy into Magic, I could be making worse financial decisions involving card games. :smaug:

I wonder if the core singletons will again be some of the best cards in the game?

Siivola
Dec 23, 2012

If people complain but nonetheless buy the product, they have very little incentive to change their ways. It's almost as if they're holding their own game hostage. "Don't want to buy this product? Then we'll just cancel the entire line because obviously if the core set doesn't sell nobody wants this game!"
