OK, so I am a younger woman and not married, and I have not GM'd very long, so I hope I am not speaking out of turn. But none of this strikes me as a problem relating to being a Game master. Instead, I think it's a problem relating to how others are treating you, and how much you are pushing...

Guaridan needs a decent amount of work, and Commander could do better to support casters beyond movement, but god damn Commander seems pretty god damn cool so far! I think one of my players will be very excited to get their hands on it and use it until its official release!

I think Treat Wounds work best if combats are being strung together or the players have control over the pace of combat to a certain degree, and there is tension over whether or not they would be healed before the next battle.

Bouncing off this, I do wish there were more spells with Heal and Harm's design and more spells that take one action. The variable usage of actions is a great demonstration of the advantages of the three actions per turn system, both by allowing you to create powerful effects, increase tactical...

I am not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread. The main change I would make is a system wide change, not just for Wizard; it would change skill and roll resolution in general. I would add a four degrees of success system, ala Pathfinder 2e. I don't know what the best numbers would be...

That is a possibility. They have commented on redoing full Adventure Paths before; there are a lot of difficulties that have come up for them to do so. Financial, artistically, and time wise. This is a long summary, but I think useful: 1. It is a LOT of work. While there is an outline, they do...

I'm going to be playing PF1e sometime in the future myself, while I continue to run my PF2e game. I think the fact there appears to be good Foundry support for an old system and the rules are available for free in multiple places online means the game will 100% continue to gain new players and...

Not all new technology is good. The industrial revolution made life unarguably worse for people for a very long time, you know. We may have the benefits of that now... but uh. It was not fun to go through for the ordinary person. It created a lot of displaced, hurt people and in a significant...

You could adapt a plot similar to Halo: the AI was given orders to guard or prevent a disease from getting out, and the only method it has of doing this is to kill any spreaders of the disease and then contain it further. The disease is currently contained, but some other group besides the PCs...

Might be for the best. Often the comments directly on articles can be... extremely rough, to say the least.

Genuine question; why use Google Meet with its restrictions when you could also use Discord for something like that? Is it because of advantages of Google Meet or because there's aspects of Discord you dislike?

... did you just split the hairs between white supremacists and Neo Nazis? That venn diagram is practically a circle???

They're not going to get rid of the paywall because the failure of ad reliant media companies and their inability to pay staff is exactly why Linda Codega - one of the founders - was laid off. It also leads to problems in journalism in general. I for one hope the project succeeds so that more...

Is it appropriate to ask why this is one of your rules? Oddly specific o_o ---- I have not done major vetting yet due to the people I'm playing with being primarily friends or people from a trusted community. If I were to vet, it'd primarily along the lines of: 1. What type of games do you...

Neurodiverse gamers are extremely common and a large part of the hobby but I'd be surprised if we were the majority. That would need a lot of backing up. I wouldn't even assume that neurodiverse gamers are a majority on forums, to say anything else about online spaces in general. I definitely...

I wonder how population growth factors into it all as well as conditions. I will not get too political here, but I think we have to acknowledge that - at-last in the West - there's been a huge housing crisis for at-least a decade in so many places; and this has lead to birthrate decline. While...

That is fair. This is why it's good to have these conversations and dig deeper, as I understand your viewpoint ad think you did do a good thing. I think I would be safe at a table you are at. It's overall complex. Tricky. Nuance is required and working with people. But I think a lot of folks...

The thing is, having a bigot around when you are the target of bigotry is hazardous (especially if you fall into multiple categories of minority - one type of bigotry tends to be co-morbid with other forms of bigotry). There's pretty much zero reason for me to be at a table that has...

To add onto 'golems are getting redone': Golems are being renamed bastions (probably to get away with the association of the Jewish legend of the golem; I am going to call them bastions for the rest of this post) and instead of being immune to magic, they will now have damage reduction to magic...

I am somewhat interested in having the PDF of this because it is nice to read through these books in the order they appear in rather than using an encounter builder. It gives you a much different feel and understanding of the creatures and how they appear. It can be much more interesting and...
