This is a very interesting example. About half the people find this a very cool mechanic and love it. But another half find that the...

I like this idea, especially for places where you might not have your long time group and know what they like already. I can see a...

Heh. In all honestly, I don’t think I could run the same campaign for a decade even. I understand the appeal of the “I’ve been running...

I’ve run maybe 20-30 year+ long campaigns, and only three I abandoned. One was when I found that the material I was using was by an...

Players' ability to intuitively judge probability, at least roughly, is definitely important for player agency. And I agree that linear...

Yeah, it’s very different. I’d not expect to land more than 3-5 hits against an equivalent fighter. Against an Olympic contender I know...

Not disagreeing with you — that’s why I like linear systems — there is no math to understand. Your skill is 80; you are 80% likely to...

Of these, these are the ones I've played, listed in order of how much they have justified their title: 13th Age is the clear winner. I...

From what I'm seeing on the technical side, we're hitting technical walls that can't be solved due to the nature of LLMs. And that would...
