Combat round 36 and counting

Ok.

Yes. When (bad word) people spend THAT much money on superhero movies they could at least get a decent script and not bend reality that much. Make the effort is what I'm saying - and its not like I cannot enjoy superhero movies, but this thread is about the consequences of violence and...

Lovely, I'm talking in terms of following the natural principles of science. I'm not talking about superheroic powers or superheroes existing. I should not have to explain myself as it is 2025 but here we are again with this silly argument. We have to cover it in RPGs I guess we need to cover it...

Consequences and realism is something superhero movies are pretty poor at. And dumb down audiences eat it up and keep on supporting the machine so Hollyweird keeps making the same shlock year after year. It's why I disliked Man of Steel. And it's not just violence, it's everything. There is...

Eric Forrester Joking aside the Methuselahs left are Valentino Garavani and Calvin Klein. Younger Generation being Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier and I'm sure a few others. Some have their kids following in the business - Donatella Versace and Miuccia Prada.

Elevating the roleplaying engagement of everyone else at the table is invaluable.

To be fair to @Minigiant BECM had a much smaller spell list and that was fine. You could use that for the PHB. I would prefer a greater amount of subclasses in the PHB instead of having to buy 2 more books for subclasses (Xanathars...etc). You could have spell creation rules within the PHB as...

That's actually a great idea. Beginners buy the robust starter pack with all the wonderful ideas therein. It is also more cost effective than having to acquire 3 books before play.

The experience I was referring to was solely with friends. So, when I made that comment about temporarily irritating about the inattentive participant, I mean it. It doesn't weigh on me - in fact it is more of a running joke that player A missed something or misinterpreted something. We all take...

I agree. Like I said tables have adopted a happy medium focusing on detail or zooming out as is necessary for the game.

Too much @EzekielRaiden. I have no stake in this. I'm not here to defend one style over another. Hmmm But I didn't know? I obviously never heard that? It's obvious my character would have done abc or notice xyz? This doesn't make sense in the fiction given lmnop? I do not like dealing with...

No gawds no! I was just making passing commentary of the perception skill being considered a player skill not a character one...generally, exceptions like the one you mentioned obviously existed.

But many of us did not play elves and thus the Perception skill was being attentive to the GM's words. Time moved slower, there were less distractions (cellphones) :ROFLMAO:

There is a different sense of accomplishment when the player solves the riddle, discovers the secret door or negotiates a tricky social encounter than just button mashing the Intelligence ability, and Investigation and Persuasion skills. In 1e-2e the idea was players pay attention to the GM as...
