no idea but that's a lot!

Very good points! As someone still green on the scope of RPGs (still learning and running new ones) my interpretation of these has alway been "Rules light means the rules fit on a page vs many pages and I can run it without reading before hand"

But even this depends on editing and design, etc

Oh I totally agree, but what trouble was that? Maybe it's something some people have tolerance to this.

Also I wonder if the tolerance is different between characters/items vs adventures/scenarios and tactical vs more narrative

Not defending it, just musing

My only thought is I don't believe all content released is play tested because I don't know how those "Daily magic items" and "1000 Sub classes" are playtested.

If they are, holy sh!t

But then, does that mean one must use it in play to be able to share it? If others use it, is that testing?

this inspired me

similar but instead the mega dungeon is a game basement that has those wargaming tables the size of a room

that or a ttrpg convention with dozens of dungeons

Talk to the players, but honestly a good way is also use an NPC to work as a reference for the appropriate attitude in world

This way you show the lethality and consequences as the NPC fails

it's a good way to SHOW DON'T TELL for lethality and consequences

Good energy, I should do more bear noises

*plays solo rpg*

Dunno sounds like it worked out pretty great! 😄

Dunno from this example they look like YOUR TALENT

This always ensures the crit is a higher hit than a regular hit but not max which is far too swingy and gets often removed everytime it's added

Divided between Misty Step and Mage Hand, although Minor Illusion can be amazing at the right table and low levels!

Lightning BLOT sounds awesome 😅
