I've been with one group for about 10 years now, and what you described is unfortunately the norm. The DM is obsessed with "getting things right", and two of the players encourage this behavior. On the plus side, I can go to the bathroom, get a snack or walk the dog while this is occurring...

Foundry VTT is my favorite virtual tabletop. Currently, there is a one-time charge of $50, but it’s worth every penny. There is a bit of a learning curve. However, once set up, it automates many actions and conditions, making it especially useful for "crunchy" games like Pathfinder. You can...

Yetis, yetis, and mega yeti. (and yes, this time, it actually took place in a cold environment)

We're sticking with the 2014 rules with the current campaign, but I'm pretty sure the GM will wants to switch to 2024 for the next one.

I'd say within a year or so, I tried Gamma World after I started playing D&D, and within two years, I tried Star Frontiers.

Well, that reply was a tad arrogant. Yes, I know about the internet. The options online that I've found aren't helpful. I struck gold once, but since then I haven't found enough players available on the days or times I have available, or interested in trying anything other than D&D.

What the RPG hobby needs now is love , sweet love. :p. Seriously, it needs a better way to coordinate games and connect people.

Duergar. Two mini-bosses. Near TPK.

1. Tier T1-T4 2. World - A two digit code such as "FR" for Forgotten Realms 3. Location - A two digit code for location within world such as BG for Baldur's Gate 4. Sequential 3 digit number Not part of the code, but important IMO - In addition to the code, I would make the sequence of the...

It really isn't hard to politely disagree. But the anonymity of the internet allows people to be jerks. On this site, it seems to mostly take the form of arrogance and condescension directed at the person who is "wrong".

But see, you twisted what I said. Polite criticism is not the same as moaning. Nor did I say that I thought my view was universal. This is a good example of how fan boys think, and a good example of a strawman.... However, if enough customers ask for something, it's usually a good idea to at...

I think a lot of this arrogance is fed by the fan boys over the past 20 years. For some reason, in their minds, any decision the developer makes is the right one, as if they are infallible gods. And even polite constructive criticism or disagreement is met with flaming and venom.

Real life happens, even when you're in the middle of a game. Not being able to save when you want is a deal breaker for me. And if you're playing a single player game with no leaderboard or external rating system what is the problem with saving and reloading?

I prefer my worlds/setting to be fairly mundane and "normal" from the perspective of the "common" folk. Introduction to the fantastical occurs as the characters level up. That is, I think the fantastical should be somewhat rare, something to work for and achieve. If everyone and their uncle...
