Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..Whooosh. That is the sound of a point soaring WAYYYY over your head. The actual die isn't important. However, that the die ONLY... -
Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..What definition? That the audience needs to be able to know what the characters in the story know? That's the definition of diegetic...

Personally, I love Tolkien, and LotR is probably the greatest fantasy influence on me bar none. But I think that it's difficult to... -
Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..He fell because he was not skilled enough. Why can't he try again if the rock crumbled? Why can't he get another rope and try again...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..I'm actually going to agree with you here re: @pemerton's examples. A shark bites a character's leg off. The audience see it. That's...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..Oh, totally agree. AD&D falls down as a sim leaning system simply because the rules are too specific. I can use Thieves Skills to climb...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..Moving back to this because this caught my eye. If you want a more sim leaning example of skills from D&D, you'd have to go back to 2e...
