    Got sent a podcast where they discussed “universal house rules” for a better time at the table. Pretty much everything they suggested is the standard behavior for Fate and Cortex.

    People will generally stick to what they know, and that’s what those videos capitalize on.

      I have been trying to streamline the Palladium rules in RIFTS, and wow have I been stealing ideas from modern systems

    I thought OneDnD was basically just small changes based on 5e?

    PF2e is better than 4e in my opinion, it has all the good parts but a better action system.

      I still got videos with titles like “Five Rule Changes that PROVE One D&D just return of Fourth Edition” or “Did Pathfinder 2e Remastered steal these rules from Fourth Edition?”. Like a new clickabit fad, declare everything 4e or something.

        Ah I see I understand now. Yeah that is a thing, it’s a rite of passage for every TTRPG content creator to make a “4e wasn’t that bad” video lol

      I haven’t played D&D 4, but Pathfinder 2e (and its remaster) is a great system, aside from some parts of the philosophy I disagree on which is a minor thing. It is really well written, coherent, streamlined and edited.

          Sheesh, I was trying to be vague so I wouldn’t have to justify my opinion :D I dislike spell slots and level based progression. I also think d20-based is the most boring dice-system, aside maybe from the very basic d100 “roll below your skill” (which is kind-of the same thing, but GMs keep forgetting to adjust the difficulty of the role). That is very much subjective and I understand that most people don’t mind. I appreciate the action economy, the very (VERY) well written rules - I am playing Shadowrun right now, and the editing and writing is atrocious - and I’d pick it over D&D any day.

            I’m assuming there’s a translation issue here. Those are mechanics that you don’t enjoy, which, yeah, can be seen as disagreeing with the designers on their pholosophy of game design.

            But Paizo has taken rather firm choices around inclusion which has casued some people to call out the company for being “woke”, so saying you “disagree with their philosophy” might raise some eyebrows and have people searching for your red cap.

              Goodness, no! I meant design philosophy. If I had political issues with it I would say so …
