For common stuff, most of the time the groups I play with assume that the characters are smarter then the players when it comes to what they are carrying. As long as the character has the cash on hand to have bought the thing(s), deduct the cost and presto!, you have it. Within reason. If the...

IMO, the question is rather redundant. The whole point of a RPG is to 'Do what the character would do.' If you design a character that is a poor fit for the rest of the party, then that is on you, the player. The trick is to design characters that are different but can still mostly do things...

You could just make the horde mostly valuable non magic stuff with the story that most of the magic stuff was either used to defend against the attack or rendered non magical by things done during the attack. Part of the adventure then becomes how to spend all that wealth while not attracting...

This is how Fantasy Trip handles it. Your char creation choice is between 'Hero' and 'Wizard'. Heroes are anything other then primary magic throwers. There is no dedicated 'Thief' but if you pick enough roguish talents for your hero, you are effectively the party sneak/diplomat/infiltration...

2nd was Black Box Traveller. 1st was white box D&D. At some point, the D&D games switched to AD&D.

MMmmm, fresh Bison fries. Another use is as jewelry and trophies. Not everyone has a T-rex claw amulet or a charm bracelet of troll teeth. Might also be good for unique magic items. Unless harvesting kills is going to be a game in itself, a GM probably should prepare a chart ahead of time...

I would start with a real mall. Go visit and take pictures of the "You are here" map. If available, use one that is online. Note locations of the 'secret' employee only doors. Edit the map to replace JC Penny with something suitable for your plans. Repeat for other stores. Create uses for...

Never pass on an opportunity to advertise the book. As already posted here, you are asking what to do but didn't mention the book or how to order. When I had jury duty a few months ago, one of the prospective jurors mentioned during the question phase that he was a published author, his newest...

Columbus's original plan would probably pass muster. His first voyage was an attempt to find an alternative trade route to China as a way to avoid the heavy taxation on the overland routes. In many ways, he was a 15th century venture capitalist. Had an idea and found several investors to fund...

A search for Mummy 4 got this: https://people.com/the-mummy-4-everything-to-know-11844028 and https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/05/entertainment/brendan-fraser-rachel-weisz-mummy-reunion-scli-intl and https://www.cbr.com/rachel-weisz-the-mummy-4-ends-sequel-hiatus/ So early talks. Seems some are on...

What's D&D? Last played that before the move to 4E. Since: PF1, PF2, Fantasy Trip, Lancer, Traveller(blend of recent Mongoose and older stuff).

Could do worse then read up on the US based Lewis and Clark expedition then find a game system that best models that adventure. GURPS might make a good fit.

A lot of 20th century authors probably read many of the dime novels about the American West when they were young. Said dime novels would pre-date TV/Movie westerns by many decades. Same novels were probably sold in Europe and other places during the heyday of the traveling Western Shows of the...

I have learned to mostly separate something from its creator. If a story, or invention, is good, enjoy it or use it. If the person that made it is bad, stay away or punish the person.

Haven't had OP's fingerprint problems but those public use touch screens are about a 50/50 tossup as to being able to use one without applying moisture to my fingertip. Try not to think too much about how many other people have the same problem and use the same solution.

Not exactly a tale of adventurers meeting but there is the mention in the Bible about "No room at the inn" for Jesus being born in a manger and later shepherds arriving to see him after being told about the birth by angels. It does sort of check the "Meet the mysterious stranger" box. Seems...

Most definitely not a new thing. Played several D&D/Traveller crossovers before D&D had versions. Between planar travel, gates and miss jumps, fairly easy to provide an in game explanation for D&D characters suddenly appearing on the bridge of a Scout ship or said Scout ship setting down...

I think the welcome lack of CPM or W at cons is most cons mention in the con docs that lack of personal hygiene can result in revocation of a con badge. I imagine that most CPMs reform or give up on cons after being booted a couple of times. Also, CPM can't hide behind the pall of smoke that...

Liches are normally intelligent(often very much so) and very driven by a desire to stay alive. Kinda how something becomes a lich. Playing one as less then very smart is setting up a participation trophy scenario. If the thing has a powerful effective spell, not using it so the players can...

If you can print it yourself, places like Kinkos(often Fedex) will bind for a reasonable fee. Having it printed there plus the binding can get costly. Or use 3 hole paper and 'bind' with a 3 hole notebook.
