Got me 3 reaction points and made me feel better about myself. :)

Good ones.

What the heck is the “long run”? We’re here to have the players generate conflict and narratives. That’s the point of playing.

I’m sure this was a while ago, so I’m not criticizing any GM actions here. But it seems like a solid example of a time to make sure good GM practices are being followed. If the player is acting in a manner you find confusing: Switch to metagame conversation. Clarify the player’s intent. Make...

This actually seems fine to me. It seems like the player’s specific intent was to push boundaries by taking risky actions, in an attempt to judge if the GM will actually follow through on consequences. It’s a way to establish stakes.

Oh yea. For recording characteristics of something already introduced into the game, then I would definitely want to record it for consistency. My original statement way back before was purely in the context of "not stopping the session because I don't have a NPC statted up".

You have no idea how tempted I am to not answer this question and leave it open. :)

Considering the hype, I'm surprised a House of Dynamite didn't blow up more.

I mean, I don't know what games you're speaking about specifically, of course. But I'm generally able to make up NPC stats quickly once I'm familiar with the system in question.

The more I've done Act 3, the more it's impressed me with just how many little nooks and crannies it has hidden. It's much more open-ended than Act 2, and it probably needed another polish pass to really add more of the interactiveness the game is known for (it definitely has the most visible...

I guess I'm just struggling to see where the difficulty lies. At least for modern D&D like 5e. For pretty much every enemy, you know how potent they are, which tells you their proficiency bonus. You can eyeball their six stats by concept. And determining which skills and stats have...

Why did Danny Elfman give his kids such strange first names? :)

Oh man, now I'm picturing an immortal walking around set of legs, with no body because its human half died and withered away.

"I am half-elf. Other half, also elf."

So write it down after the session? Writing down what happens during the session isn't "prep".

I know. I made the accusation, remember?

Well, it would be kinda weird to be that self-denigrating, right? That's way past humility and right into self-abuse.

Yes. Feel free to homebrew. Just don't make lame homebrew. "You can't be tabaxi because everyone in the setting thinks cats are tools of evil gods" is lame.

My great-uncle was a tortle who died in WWII, and I wish to honor his memory.

And they say compromise is dead!
