My goal at some point is to boot up Season 3 with one tweak Which is 1 anytime per round, with the season 3 rules on what anytimes could be

There's a reason basically no season 3 campaigns actually used the combat system

yeah Season 3 is easily the worst balance of the show, just because of jesus fuckin christ LIMITEDS WHY?

Season 2 was the best in terms of actually playability

I mean, at that point Rob wanted pure rp and no combat

But I kinda liked 3’s flow

because he got it inhis head that he was a grand storyteller instead of a clown

There's still something incredibly fucking funny about "We have to limit Anytimes per combat, players get far too many free actiosn in combat" "So we're nerfing the game to 3 anytimes per combat" "Also all limiteds are free anytimes now don't worry abotu it"

GPO was all ageless, deadlantis was RP centric, AZ had no real combat, the purge had peasant classes, gaiden had no real combat, idk the rest but they seemed non-traditional

Even in the purge, you can see just how overpowered players get as peasants

Yeah it was kinda silly

Although I think they got buffed by lucky legendary rolls

They killed lance, which was supposed to be a fight weighted against them

I think I'd go, worst to best Pre-Sunswords Season 1 Post Anytime change Season 2 Post Sunswords Season 1 Season 3 Season 2 Pre anytime change

Nuren solos all

for actual gameplay system

Season 3 that high? Damn

and yeah obviously, Nuren was the peak of game design Kappa

coe sitting in a corner for a collective 6 hours? perfect

I like that the Nuren guy also fell apart and never did the thing that game was to raise funds for

Season 1 < Season 3 <<<<<<<<< Season 2 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Season 4 Kappa

nuren spirit rush is easily the funniest ability ever written

Ahhh I see

Season 3 gets that high on customizability alone, and for it's overall improvements to the shop system. There's a LOT really good in season 3 that can be adapted and changed pretty easily with some work.

Nah you’re so right

I misread

Season 3 gets a lot of flack but I liked it

A mix of S2 and S3 stuff is probably ideal

Season 3 with some actual changes and design easily claps season 2 design wise but without it it's def lower

^^^

Yes

Pure Season 2 is probably slighty better then Pure Season 3, but if you're putting in any work at all you def start from the season 3 chassis

I was trying to bring over a lot of season 3’s stuff to the season 2 ruleset

But I wasnt motivated enough

Season 3's class system is infinitely better then 2's

The ability shop was amazing

A lot of season 3's races were fucking terrible, however

Keens got SO fucked for no reason lmfao

Season 3 just locks you in too hard with randoms

like, I'd immediately do "Choose from 3" as the baseline for attribute and cornerstone

Yes yes

I liked the ability to grow out of your attribute over time too

Keens were one of the better ones just because you could customize more

Truly the cornerstone/attribute system really made the whole system for me

The idea that you can roll shit like ageless and completely fuck up the campaign premise for the dm is so funny

But it also opens opportunity for interesting writing and creativity

yeah Keens were good for the choose 3, but it was a genuine "What the fuck?" as to why they lost their most iconic ability

like they no longer felt like gnomes

What’d they have originally

passback

I forget

where they could use other people's ability treasures

Oh yeah! That was neat.

I guess I can see how that’d be overpowered with the shitty season 3 meta

Elf and porc often could be good, but it filled your inventory with so much bullshit

The best designed race from season 3 was hilariously the one slapdashed together at the end

with Azveltarian

The transform effect was the only time ever having a companion was worth shit in your inventory

There was that one dark companion spell that just made you immortal

Hehehe

The bonedancer's companion

I kinda think the potential for crazy gamebreaking combos was neat

It made urealms unique to other ttrpgs

And since every session was a one shot it didn’t matter much

Season 3 was too spastic, abilities either had to do 99 damage or heal to full

season 3 leaned hard into the "one shot" nature of URealms

I do love how Rob kept INSISTING death rolls were good for players to use as well

like no

a 1/20 chance to insta kill the boss is near never worth it in that system

If a player died to a death roll early it would ruin the show

After dundinborough he said there were no more backup characters unless you had a companion

Death Rolls in general probably could've used a tweak where you needed multiple fails to die

I think as a show, death rolls should have been "how far into the campaign you were". An hour in? 1/100, near the end, as low as a 1/2

Didn’t he make it so the more you rolled the harder it was to live

yes

I'd have gone with each character has multiple "Lives", and when they lose them all they die call them like, "Brushes with Death" or something

Later in season 3

I thought that was pretty good

We also had it early in season 3 technically
