D&D really wants to emulate stories like the Iliad and the Odyssey where the gods regularly show up and directly interact with the...

I had a homebrew for a hot min with my own take on deities. Instead of basing them on people or tangible figures, the deities were more...

So while there are settings where the absence of deities tends to cause issues (Athas most notably and Ravenloft to some degree), there...

Crimson Longinus reacted to Fenris-77's post in the thread How Complex Do You Prefer Your TTRPG Systems In General with Like.
My tastes run to lighter games these days, so say, Shadowdark instead of 5E. There's also a difference for me between more complex games...

Crimson Longinus replied to the thread Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out.".Yes! This is exactly where I was getting at! Like if we don't want the game just be the GM leading the players along a story, then there...

Love.
Here’s where I’m at. One: Creating fiction in response to each other is trivial. The player does something and the GM makes up... -
Crimson Longinus replied to the thread Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out.".I am not quite sure. In my D&D game I often have sessions that are basically short one session adventures, that are in score pretty...

Crimson Longinus replied to the thread Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out.".It is not a huge issue in practice, only a mild annoyance. Mostly it is now just the GM deferring to the player on this, to avoid...

Crimson Longinus replied to the thread Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out.".I like broad but non-overlapping skills, so amount wise what Blades has seems pretty fine with me. I just do not see any value in...

Crimson Longinus replied to the thread Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out.".It is exactly like that apart from the GM not having the final say. I combined persuasion and bluff in D&D for this reason. In any...
