Starfinder's biggest problem is that it isPathfinder's version of Modern. And while thankfully it does have a huge splat problem, each Class still gets over a dozen options you'll have to read up on. I don't really know a lot about it, but I have read up on it before so I could help with a crash course.

It almost sounds like you've picked the system you'd like to run Nan :)
linklord, Strat, SorO, what about you guys?Starfinder sounded all right but mostly just down for a new game so really it could be whatever.
linklord, Strat, SorO, what about you guys? Everybody just want me to run a 3.5/Pathfinder game? Have an opinion between those?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone wants 3.5 so they can play homebrew.
I'd actually vote for anything other than that :lmaoHmm speaking of voting, if it's up in the air let's just do that?
3.5/5th/SW
PF, 5th, Starfinder.
Edit: While I'm waiting, do people want a short game or something longer (in PbP time something so long that it'll probably never finish, at least with the group that started it)?
Saw this on the discord, I would quite like to play.
I'd most like 3.5, but starfinder could be interesting. I'd have to learn that, though.

I only joined after the board switch-over, and I still mostly lurk. Hopeing to participate more.

Well it's nice to meet you then.
I'm against 3.5 because I know there's going to be too much optimisation and homebrew for me to want to finish a character. :lmaoMaybe? It all depends on how Nan wants to scale things and I suppose level is a factor.

Still pondering executive decisions, mainly to figure out what adventures in what systems can be done in PbP properly without driving me insane. 5E is obviously out and Pathfinder isn't getting much love.
Basically this for me too.:twitch
(https://imgur.com/2VE7yWz.png) | Any system can be optimized. Unfamiliarity means any character can be accidentally optimized to far. And pbp are slow enough an "unfamiliarity" handicap won't exist by next level up anyway. (Assuming it even lasts through character creation to begin with) / |

Then clearly you should break the final tie towards the system everybody here already has experience on to make your job easier wink cough nudge.
EDIT: Heck I even feel tempted to use one of your own Homebrews. Marruspawn or Werebadger with a touch Ice Beast maybe. :D
You are also assuming competency level of your DM and intentions of your teammates, perceiving an imaginary problem, and then acting on it. I don't think that's the best way to go about things. Maybe you should pick something you want to play and then make the conscious decision that no matter your numbers on your sheet, your goal isn't to overplay everyone else.

Are you claiming that if it's 3.5, you won't end up with a highly optimised and homebrew-heavy character sheet? :p
That sounds like SorO to me!I sincerely doubt it given the fact that I barely even use homebrew and am more often than not provoked into certain things. 0:)
I have removed 3.5 as an option. It was the most voted for, but I've decided that I want to do something different from what 99% of the PbP games on this board are.PF is just a more complicated version of D&D and 5th is just a more simplified version of D&D making them unwanted Goldilocks if you want to do something different.

As a substitution to Starfinder, why not use Modern with an advanced PL? It'd solve the so called fear of optimization when guns murder you so badly we're all playing red shirts anyway. Then maybe you can use the Purchase DC to Cash Value to set a spending limit with each crew member designing some aspect of the ship, and then you can plagiarize Star Trek/Wars (and spelljammer/dragonstar) for ideas as we cruise around in space. It'd have my thumbs up and Modern has a bunch prebuilt NPCs/monsters.

It's not about how the system compares to 3.5. PF gets more and more diffferent the more splatbooks you delve into, and 5E is a different system altogether.
I'd never run a Modern game. Nothing against Modern, but it isn't my thing (especially when you go into the future stuff). I also need an established module to go off of, like I said it's been years since I've been a DM.

Pathfinder seems much of a muchness with 3.5 - I don't have strong feeling distinguishing them. (I'm maybe a little more familiar with 3.5, and own more of the books). 5e is simpler, and harder to break (mostly due to having fewer character options). But hard is not impossible. I do quite like it - it has a lot of good ideas, and it's what many of my IRL friends play.
I haven't ever played savage worlds, and am unfamiliar with the rules.
Overall, I would probably go 5th. But as SorO said, it's not really anything new, if that's what you are looking for.
...
I feel like you and SorO are missing the point.
If you look at all of the games that have been run on this board, the vast majority are 3.5. Thus anything that isn't 3.5 goes against the norm and is thus different from what we normally get. I am not trying to do something that no one has ever done on this board, I'm just wanting to offer something different from the norm so that people who want something that isn't 3.5 can play something else.

Why doesn't that reaction surprise me? :lol
Existing votes tallied. Linklord, Strat, SorO, and Versatility_Nut still to go.I'd prefer PF over 5th. I know less about PF and someone in this thread mentioned they already has a plan to run a 5th game.
Eh, I have ideas for either--I'd rather go look into the PF Psionics stuff, but 5E I can get up two things I've always wanted to play more in about two minutes.

Raineh, I counted that as a vote for both but have a question. Would you rather play PF to the point that it is your vote even though you'll play 5E? I ask because linklord is voting for one but would play either.
People can vote for one but still play the other if it wins the vote.
Strat, you're the last vote.
Everybody check the first post and make sure I tallied your vote properly. If we stay tied I'm going to just pick a system.Sounds like you picked 5th.
I need a board.
5E game called Coastal Troubles
Yep. I was planning on announcing it once the new board is up.Cool.
Heh I'm gonna do a core-only paladin since I voted 5e precisely to keep things simple. :P
Also what do we do for ability scores?

I'll think about that too. :lmao
Feats are allowed for the record.
I would do something from core-only, but I really like the look of the races in Volo's guide.Like a Tortle Monk? :D
