I'm here because ENW chat mentioned Newtonian physics space combat. This interests me greatly! ;)

A game should be balanced to the extent that everyone can have fun. If combat is the main focus of the game (and it is in so many games, not just D&D), then you should make sure everyone can feel like they contributed something useful at the end of the day, and that everyone's enjoying the time...

Is this how you provide an example of proper forum conduct nowadays?

I smell adventure hooks in both of these. Of course, this is D&D, so we have to up the scale a bit with monstrous vermin and giant fungi. :D

In support of the above, imagine the difference between jaywalking on a quiet road and causing nothing but a single car to slow down to avoid hitting you, and jaywalking across a busy highway and causing a ten-car pileup. You committed the exact same crime in both cases, but somehow the two...

You can always Aid Another. There's no reason to do absolutely nothing during a potentially lethal combat situation.

/me tosses the Elephant a large bag of peanuts. Knowledge of these things would already be represented by Survival skill bonus. Because the PCs rolled poorly, either they didn't think to use these methods, or the information wasn't enough to help regain their bearings without the use of other...

Yes, and as someone who has been here for around 7-ish years (I didn't check the month you joined, just the year) and yet has less posts than the number of days in a standard Earth year, you obviously (for unspecified reasons) just haven't said much compared to the extremely active posters. But...

This is one of four forums (addressing three completely different things) that I have seen an increase of locked threads on in the last few weeks. Maybe there's just something going around.

Please re-read my statement with emphasis to see an obvious part you may have overlooked. I may only post once or twice in a thread I respond to, and only respond to 1/10 threads I read. But I still have over 2,000 posts. That's because I consistently read a fair number of threads. If I...

It's not over 600 pages, but Dawning Star: Helios Rising takes up a pretty nice space on my shelf, and the box for Goodman Games's World of Aereth is pretty big, too.

Corollary: "Everyone roll perception." The whole party rolls high. "You don't notice anything unusual." :devil: Oh snap. :uhoh: Very useful in horror genre games for building up tension.

Save a copy for me! :D It'll look shiny and impressive next to my other, similarly thick setting books.
