You're correct. There's no official post-20 content for 5e.

I really have no idea, but I was never able to get into RIFTS. I've primarily stuck to D&D. Though I also played a bit of Shadowrun, a little Vampire/Werewolf, a smidge of GURPS, and a handful of games with an old Marvel Heroes RPG that I can't even name. I'm really just a one trick pony when...

I don't keep up with this thread, but I wanted to pop in and say - That quote is mine, but it was framed as a question. I don't have any experience with this type of game and I was asking questions from a completely novice perspective. Edit - Just realized that the relevant part of this...

5.24 is technically backwards compatible, but it's a bit annoying. It's a lot like going from 3.0 to 3.5. The rules are largely the same, but there are pinch points that don't work well with each other. Largely, I like what they've done with many of the rules in 5.24, but 90% of the art I have...

I have a TUF 3080 and will end up replacing it with with a 5080 or 90, but the primary reason is that I was an early adopter and my card only has 10 VRAM.

The gameplay doesn't move the needle for me, at all. Everything looks generic and wooden. There are also little things that scream rushed or changed mid-creation. It's also clear that the dialogue and narrative are going to be lame and forgettable. At least now I can stop holding on to my...

Indeed. The fun and compelling part was when the ninja was doing ninja things. Major missed opportunity.

I have absolutely zero problem admitting when I am wrong. If the trailer was just an incredibly stupid marketing attempt and the game is actually good I'll be the first to eat a whole slice of humble pie while scraping egg off my face... ...But I don't think it's going to happen

I just watched the Ubisoft stream and this game was showcased. I have to admit that it looks interesting. It could still be shit, but I saw enough that I would have wanted to play it were it not for Mary Sue. It's such a shame they decided to put a masculine girl boss in the lead role. I wish...

I just watched the gameplay on the Ubisoft stream and the game has a lot of incredible elements. I firmly the believe the game would have been extremely well-received had the nog been a Japanese man and even more well-received had they both been men that share an honor-bound brotherhood. Or, at...

It's not something that's easily described, but we all know it when we see it. I feel the exact same way about D&D games. It's difficult for me to pin down the exact details regarding what makes a good D&D (PC) game good without coming off like I'm trying to dodge the question. However, in an...

I played the absolute shit out of Painkiller back in the day. Loved that game.

It does have a brand, but the execution has failed on multiple occassions. The same way that D&D has a brand, but has failed to produce on many, many occasions. There have literally been dozens of D&D games developed, but only a handful have successfully captured the essence of the brand. The...

Ah, yes. I was exclusively referring to within the game and the characters, but you're absolutely correct that the DEI component of the development team is responsible for this 'gem.'

The DEI garbage isn't even the most egregious problem with this game. The art and story direction are so far off base that if I didn't already know this was DA I could easily be convinced it was an entirely different game from a completely different genre. DA has a brand; a brand that has been...

I'm not offering anything of worth to the thread. I just wanted to shout into the void about how much I absolutely despise that hyper-feminine, squishy, limp-wristed, balding, Jewish faggot Jason Schreier.

Glad to see that the trailer is getting absolutely ratio'd into oblivion. I can't wait until the layoffs start and/or the studio closes. Am I a villain? Maybe, but fuck you, you created me.

Is it heresy that I have never played this game, any of the Dark Souls series, nor Bloodborne? I really wish I understood why these games don't grab me and suck me in like they do a lot of people because I can see that they're objectively fantastic games. The only conclusion I can come to is...

Is Doom Eternal worth buying? I've seen many complain that it's too 'whack-a-mole' and massively detracts from the gameplay.

I watched the Microsoft showcase and tried to judge each game without my own (admitted) biases and a couple of the games with female leads looked 'ok.' They just weren't games I would be interested in under any circumstance, but I can see them appealing to others. However, all of the games with...

The trailer erased the 1-2% hope I had that this might be palatable. As predicted, this game is going to be another massive financial flop.

I didn't play the last one, but this looks fun and it's hard to woke-up killing demons.

When a discussion derails, it usually peters out after a page or two. 3, at most. Regardless, it's not like the discussion was totally in left field. It's at least somewhat relevant to talk about why this game (and others) is going to suck. I don't really care either way. I just never...

Why the fuck does a mod stick their nose in here to direct the conversation where everyone is actively engaging in the discussion? Seriously, what's the point?

I firmly believe that DEI is part of why gaming development budgets have ballooned and quality has cratered. Here's why - When you're forced to hire ~20%-30% (or more) nogs, women, and they/thems despite not having the appropriate credentials you have to hire people that can actually do the job...

Like I said, it's effectively D&D 5e: Houserules Edition. Anyway, I have the PDF for anyone interested. The file is not quite 4 megs, but it's too big to upload in a forum post.

I am truly speechless at how these companies continue to set hundreds of millions of dollars on fire. I just can't come to ANY conclusion that makes ANY sense. It's not like they don't have dozens of examples to learn from. Between movies, streaming, gaming, etc. they have watched billions...

The classes have a lot more built-in reactions, etc. so you're highly unlikely to end up wasting points round to round - but it can happen.

For several years now I've been using a system that allows martials to spend Hit Dice to power combat maneuvers. Kinda like Battlemaster Fighters, but much more robust.

In 100% transparency, I haven't read his entire ruleset, but what I have read looks like he's done something similar to what I've done in that he's collected a ton of optional content and codified it into his own d20 system. It still looks and feels like D&D, but thus far it appears to be a...

I've been a long-time fan of the Dungeon Coach and his channel. I have his original houserules hardback (which I mined for quite a few great ideas) and plan to buy the new book, but I'm 99% sure I'm not going to replace my massively expanded 5e system with DC20. Stock 5e is just too simple...

Good for her. Glad to see she's putting her "boss bitch" foot down. Because that approach has always worked out well for the dumb cunts that practice it. Virtue-signaling your way into financial ruin isn't specific to just women, but they top the charts.

I'm super bad about this. I have a massive Steam library and the vast majority of the games I purchase are widely considered good/amazing, but I haven't even installed most of them, much less played them. Last year I started trying to systematically play through them and it's worked to a...

D. The asshole with feminine energy making a faux poll about said shitty/woke game.

First, I gave you a bit of credit before, justifiably, butt-fucking you. Second, it absolutely does not matter if Samurai Floyd could have been a legitimate historical figure and that's what you're missing. You seem to be patently incapable of understanding why choosing him over the plethora of...

Why? You seem to....almost...be there in terms of getting to the fundamentals of why all of this is trash. Even if Yasuke is portrayed as historically accurate, he's far better suited as an NPC for DLC or in a side-quest. Not shoehorned in as the main character because he checks some DEI boxes...

Anyone that buys this game is a weak, limp-wristed, mentally-ill, cuck faggot. I don't care why you're buying it; I stand by my words. Even if you're neck-deep into supporting the agenda (please die), you should avoid buying the game simply because the pricing model is cancer.

I'll take you up on it on with the exception that if he isn't patently gay, he's objectively LGBTQLMNOP123.
