Worth highlighting. While there may be some concern or even reasons for caution, and there may be some some logic to them, they often get leveraged (often in overblown ways) as a cover for the actual discriminatory reasons. An 'a priori' kind of reasoning: "We want X, now what can we find to...

Architect here, and that is correct... and there is also a minimum width to all egress routes which often equates to a relatively large number of people. For example, stairways in a commercial building without a sprinkler require 0.3" per occupant, with a minimum width of 36" (for really low...

I have played an inordinate amount of dwarves over the years, so I had to mark that one. Also quite a few humans, though likely they're much closer in number to the mix of other types. One that wasn't in the poll are Centaurs or other 'taurs -- for whatever reason I've always loved that...

I have played 2d20 under Trek, and only skimmed through the 2d20 Dune rules.* On the whole, I find it a moderate system. I like the group momentum aspect (fits well for Starfleet characters) and how they define and use Advantage/Disadvantage tags. The rest though is pretty bog standard stuff...

One skill check; rest RP! :)

From various accounts I've read, when Timothy Zahn was brought on board to write the Heir to the Empire trilogy, he was given the WEG sourcebooks as reference material to build upon, making much of what was included/added in those books canon. (After RotJ there was essentially no new SW being...

I will join in with the crowd noting we've been playing under a system of my own devising, and it's been going swimmingly! I also second the idea of a Cortex Prime based ruleset -- which would be a serious and great way to get that system into the spotlight! We've played games under Cortex...

"My hat of d02 know no limits!" (So long as we're resurrecting things so old that even the 7th level spell isn't enough... ;))

Wind + Haste splits party. (Italicized to indicate the spell not "playing fast in general" was part of the cause. That and the player (me :P) not recognizing that this combo would end up having him engage the foes nearly solo...)

There are two things here. The first is if the player wants to duel and almost get beat, but eventually overcomes them, and everyone else at the table is cool for that, then that doesn't mean you can't either or both a) spin a great yarn about how you get to that point (which will make that...

I like make the distinction between player agency and character agency. It can be totally fine to restrict character agency if the player agreed to it. That might be what you mean by context of the fiction, but I like to use this distinction to be more clear. Playing an adventure path...

Nice! I often use 80/20 in the projects I'm architecting (and have even worked with Teco for supply/install) and it's cool to see it used in nifty ways. And with its grooves and t-nuts allowing all sorts of things to be affixed along it in flexible ways (lights, tablet/laptop holders...

Cortex Prime -- either from Tales of Xadia or using a shared fan-created campaign. :)

You only need the Tome as your specialty if you wanted to have a bit of flexibility with your Encounter powers. In 4e the base Wizard can select 2 Daily powers and 2 Utility powers for each level and can choose one at the start of each day. Keeps a lot of the classic Wizard flavour without...

Alas no... hoping to make it to a local con in Feb though. Definitively will hang out at the BT game(s) even if I don't sign up due to conflict with other sessions. (Last year I got to play a bit as one player kept going off to check up on an auction they were bidding in.) (I was also...
