Polymorph allows the character to change form. It can be found in many systems, each with their own way of handling the results. I was wondering, why not use polymorph to heal? In my system broken bones heal differently than flesh wounds. In general they take much longer and are not covered by...

Rmm I'd say you are part right. I try and reward good gaming, good roleplay and team work.

Hrmm if my system worked the way you are suggesting, I might better understand your point of view. So I will highlight the differences on how I handle things. First of all what gets you negative karma. Killing other players, damaging other players, stealing from other players, being overly...

Yes that is my concern. As mentioned I do have prerolled, but character creation, at least really great character creation, takes time, thought and planning. I expect 1st time characters to be somewhat underwhelming, as people are still learning the system. 2nd Gen character will almost always...

Agreed, prerolled are awesome. I have 5 example characters in my book, and bring as many to my cons as well.

Thank you very much yes, I hadn't thought of mini full weekend campaigns...Mostly due to the goal of going through as many groups as possible to expose a greater number of people.

Yes, I can understand trade shows as I have a bit of experience in that area. I just feel that understanding a profession or race is better done over time. I as a GM typically expect very little until 5th lvl from my players as they are often still defining their characters. I find there is...

I have heard of a trend of 1 shot campaigns, and naturally following throw away characters. I am trying to understand the appeal. It seems like you go through a fair amount of effort only to get rid of the character in a game or two.

As we all know the BGC, (Back ground character, also known as an NPC), in your world add flavour, voice and realistic engagement to your world as a whole. After all, who would you save if no one lived in the village, or no one posted a reward? Who would run the world around you without the BGC...

Thank you all for your input. When deciding on art I felt there was much to compare myself with, and the comparison was daunting. There was some amazing art out there, and the price to hire an artist for black and white line drawings was on average 150$ per pic. So I decided to self illustrate...

Awesome

I am glad to hear this.

Less. If we allow AI to create products for us, then why are we here? How do we avoid a standardize version of product? What about the contributors who added to the AI's data base? When something is free, it rarely carries value in the context of AI. I can generate 100 products just as easily as 1.

I remember, when what was it, 3rd ed DnD came out there was a big reaction to the art, that seemed to set a trend in the RPG world of great art or bust. This is an impression, not a fact. That said I am wondering does art still carry a lot of weight in the RPG comuunity and if so, I would like...
