#pf 2e isnt indie exactly but I will take a moment to shout out it here

[lich-slap]

Not to get into any of the discourse right now (The post I just rebloged says my opinions on the topic better than I ever could) but, can we appreciate how great it is that Misfits and Magic won't be D&D? (it will be a system called Kids on Brooms)

Look, I love 5e, I really do, and I've always loved bending genres. Buuut a lot of D20's campaigns would've been more interesting game-play wise if they were done in another system. (Like actual murder mystery-rpg Mice and Murder would've FUCKED, y'all).

In the Q&A its said that from now on the campaigns will have "the game system best suited for that season's story". And that's so cool!!!! A major actual play like D20 switching to what will possibly be mostly indie games???? That's fucking huge!

There are sooo many cool indie TTRPGS out there! I hope we get an all magical-girl season with Glitter Hearts! And I get chills just thinking about what a Brennan Lee Mulligan City of Mist game might be like (though since it is a majorly urban fantasy setting, I'm unsure if it has a chance :()

It's really nice to see D20's push for more diversity in the industry go beyond casting and crew to the actual systems being used. It's something we can't get from other actual plays (on the regular, at least) because of contractual obligations. WoTC has ruled this industry for too long! There are other games!

#dimension 20 #im sure future seasons of fantasy high/unsleeping city will keep 5e #and maybe new seasons will have 5e too! who knows! #but for now I'm glad to see a change of pace #'there are other games' I say as a High Fantasy nerd who DMs 5e and plays Pathfinder 2e #pf 2e isnt indie exactly but I will take a moment to shout out it here #it has a more robust rules system and more developed interplanar lore than 5e as well as a ton of variation in classes and races #its super cool if a... meatier? gameplay experience is what you're going for and 5e homebrew isnt cutting it anymore #on the other hand if you think D&D is too complex I've heard wonders about A Dragon Game! #hmm if you reblog this give a shout out to a non-D&D system you think should have more recognition #maybe we will manifest it into D20 together #misfits and magic #the unsleeping city #a crown of candy #mice and murder #fantasy high #tiny heist #escape from the bloodkeep #brennan lee mullingan
