I may be mistaken but that is likely the case when gamism takes centre stage. It is something I'm leaning more towards to break my own expectations and biases.

That's the way I see it with the risk being the higher the sought after power from the runes, the greater the DC but also the greater the chance one gets hit with a failure/complication etc. For the more Trad GM who aren't fans of these runes because of the fictional manipulation it provides...

You and me both!

Let say I were to use this in my game So, Has anything been established in play about who passed through here/who built this (dungeon/complex)? Is there any secret backstory (that's my Trad background, in case I want to link this later to something) about who passed through here/who built this...

I think we have to be practical here, the player may also not determine the runes give them mad-xyz. The xyz would have to be measured against the fiction and the game rules in the same way the priest would be willing to do a measured abc and not the examples you sighted.

Great example above by the way. The only counter to this (and I'm not even satisfied with my counter tbh so I'm not really expecting a reply) is that the NPC has known functions (their spells and knowledge) which you can call on. Whereas the runes' functions are determined. Personally I do not...

Sorry I have not been following this thread religiously, what is MHRP? I would expect the answer to my question about the level of creativity permitted on player determination of the runes would similarly have a "DC" that would be decided upon by the GM. At least that is how I would rule it...

I like this example. With a trapdoor, you already know its function. Your roll is to utilise its function. With the runes, you do not know their function. Your roll is to determine (importantly not to discover) their function. Now if you are able to determine the function of the runes (via...

Happy to be within the 30% :) I do not think I will run another long campaign like this. Currently at around the 9-10 year mark as we are having a blast!

Yes I understood that much and I agree with you. I was just being thorough on other aspects in my reply.

Understood - thanks. I do not believe there is a difference TBH, but that is neither here nor there. Sure. Books stores online or in the RW have the right to determine what they sell. It becomes a little less black-and-white, IMO, when you have international stores like (Amazon) censor...

I'm not well versed in this IT stuff but just a query is Itch like a gaming platform or online store? If yes, then your post is making the case that a series of books is comparable to games which may include revenge porn and beastiality? If the answer is yes it should be comparable and that we...

You forgot the Would you like to know more? ;)

That's hardcore, you still use level drain! :eek: Have you ever collaborated with a player using a non-traditional playable race or class for their backstory to fit your campaign or has it always been a no?

Well, it depends how long this thread to goes on for, and only if you round-up, which I should say is not the norm for hit points and damage and shouldn't be for age ;) Well, our characters tend to be younger the older we get as players
