From Ironsworn, I have adapted the entire exploration system from Ironsworn into my D&D game in order to make exploration much more exciting and fun. And it has worked very well. My Out of the Abyss game would be far less enjoyable for the table if I ran it D&D RAW as it was written in the...

Y'know, I was all ready to let that go. I really was. Then you had to go and keep hammering the same point over and over and, well, sorry, I failed my Will save. 😕🐟

I was noodling over this thread and something occured to me. Imagine a thought experiment. You have two potential DM's that you are possibly going to play with and you have to choose one. Both have about 10 years of experience running games. DM 1 proudly proclaims that they have only ever...

I would say so, yes. If nothing else, watching other DM's helps to become a better DM yourself. Whether it's learning from the great stuff they do or the bad. DM's need to get out from behind their screens from time to time. Again, IMO and IME and all that.

Oh, that would make me SOOOO happy. I realized that Primeval Thule is exactly what I want. The area is small, self contained with diverse habitats. The whole area is about 1500 miles in diameter (a bit less north to south). This is exactly the kind of setting I want. I am so sad that it got...

Wow. This was already resolved a couple of pages back. But, just to repeat, one more time: THE OPPOSITE OF BETTER IS NOT BAD. I know that this is a basic English definition, but, it seems like there's been a rather fundamental breakdown of communication. Every professional baseball player...

Being worse =/= being bad.

No. This is your interpretation of what I have said, but, it is not what I actually said. I said you will be a BETTER DM if you play other games. Not that you cannot be a good DM. The opposite of BETTER is not bad. You can be a perfectly good driver without learning to drive other cars or...

Reread the OP. That's why. Wow, I went through the first couple of pages of this thread from 2 years ago, and then the last couple of pages. Good grief, it's astonishing how fast this improved.

Heh. I probably rose a bit. I'm very very bad at not taking the bait. :D 🐟🐟🐟🪤

Sure? Happy to oblige. NOt really sure how you got "now" considering that I had clarified the point repeatedly, even within the post that was quoted out of context. 🤷 But, hey, whatever floats your boat. We are finally communicating clearly and that's all that matters.

Yup. when you cherry pick quotations out of context, you really can make them say anything. Particularly when you ignore the fifteen subsequent posts that further clarify a point. 🤷 On the other hand, the opposite of "better" is not "bad". You can be a better player (which is honestly what...

Again, this is entirely on you and has absolutely no relation to anything anyone here
