Like.
Star Wars and D&D are good examples of products that where created for the sole purpose of making money for their creators. Not to be... -
djotaku replied to the thread Beadle & Grimm's Platinum Edition of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight.I'm certainly not offering to buy, but I think it would depend on the condition of everything. On the one hand you have rarity on you...

djotaku reacted to BrokenTwin's post in the thread Difficulty Numbers: Scaling, or Static? with Like.
Static, because I have played a few systems now where, RAW, characters actively got worse at basic things as they leveled up. Unless...

Static, because it shows in tangible way how PCs have improved and gotten better at it. So that lock you couldn't open at level 1 is now...

Generally speaking my answer is static, but I think that the locks and thieves example has some additional nuance. A high level party...

djotaku replied to the thread D&D General Tools for PCs?.For the OP (and others): I love Foundry and I like pushing it whenever possible. For this use case it's not ideal if they aren't...

Yeah, that's the Schrodinger's Map technique, and it's occasionally useful. A good example of where I would use it is the crossroads in...

Haha.
Scaling DC is dumb. As others have pointed out, it completely defeats the point in gaining levels. Also, levels are dumb, but that's a... -

That's true, what I described isn't hard scaling DCs, because the in-universe challenge also scales. The original post of this thread...

djotaku replied to the thread What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?.Doesn't sound like RR to me. I view it as a spectrum and, of course, as a table agreement. If we sit down and agree to play D&D or Paizo...

djotaku reacted to Umbran's post in the thread What is "railroading" to you (as a player)? with Like.
It depends a little on the table agreement, but probably not. It sounds more like situation setup than railroading. I might consider...
