  • Ironically for a post complaining about reading comprehension, but you misrepresented the original post you’re talking about. Even have the classic “quotation marks around a thing that was never said” in the title.

    First, and perhaps most obvious, this wasn’t “everyone”. This was one person, and they didn’t get many upvotes. When I recommend a TTRPG, for example, I’m recommending Genesys (like someone else did).

    Second, they weren’t saying to homebrew old editions of D&D. They were saying you don’t need to homebrew at all. At most, they said you could reflavour something in 4th edition. Their entire point was that you don’t need to homebrew when you can just find a system that already has what you would have homebrewed in.

    Third, they were suggesting this as an alternative to homebrewing specific material into D&D 5e. Pathfinder can provide the experience of “5e with time travel” that you wanted without any modifications. BitD is so different from 5e that it can’t.

    You are, however, correct that they did backtrack. I’ll put this down to poorly explaining their argument to start with, as they downplayed the “5e but better” games in their first comment while that was really their entire point.

    Personally, I like homebrewing. It’s fun to tinker with the rules and materials. But there’s also an argument to not repeat work someone else has already done.










  • This honestly sounds like an amazing quest giver.

    Evil Quest Giver: Yes, go and fight the dragon in this remote mountain and get treasure! I hope you survive, hehehe…
    Party: (One week later) Wow, that dragon was kidnapping the locals and planning a conquest of the valley! Good thing we put a stop to that, huh?
    EQG: Uh… Holy heck… W- Well, you’re just the people to deliver this letter to this outpost in the middle of nowhere! Go now, take your time with the trip!
    Party: (One week later) Turns out the guy you sent that letter to was researching occult rituals and accidentally unearthed a swarm of demons. We saved him and found this sword of sacred might.
    EQG: Okay, plan C. Join me, and we shall overthrow the crown!
    Party: The one terrorising the common folk? We were hoping there was a resistance group we could join!






  • It’s well known that ancient dwarves enjoyed the practise of banging rocks together through the shins of the elves. One day, the rocks sparked against each other and set the elf ablaze, and that is how dwarves discovered fire. They loved fire, and used it to set many, many elves ablaze.

    From that day, it took 30 years to invent cooking.
