12.05.24 Tolg's not done but its hard to not think *whats next*. So in that thinking, i got to reading through more and more of the '24 phb, and i can say with certainty that Tolg is gonna be the last 5th edition game i run unless they make some drastic change. It's just... sterile? i guess. Its boring, and devoid of depth while also devoid of freedom without skirting or shunting mechanics. I'm not really a big fan of a lot (probably most tbh) rules-light games, but they do what 5.5e wants to do better than it. And i know that crunchy games like pathfinder are a big commitment to learning that not everyone wants. So idk what comes after Tolg in terms of a fantasy rpg. Of course, Blackout will happen- 2025 is the year and i want to be held accountable for that, but true fantasy is where my heart lies. I have an idea for the next fantasy setting but no clue what rules id use for it. But theres plenty of time between now and then to find out, so im not sweating it. Ramble over, thanks.
