That' s interesting. Do you house rule a lot? If she's seen you twist and bend the rules a couple of times she might think that's just the way every game should be played, or she might be inspired by some other source (youtube?). New GMs house ruling out the gate seems a bit unusual, to me at least.
I basically agree with everyone so far. It's quite the tightrope to walk.
On the one hand talking to her would seem to be the answer since everyone should be having fun at the table and basic knowledge about how rules are to be interpreted might be part of the fun for people.
On the other, a...
Thanks for the recommendations. If I get the time I might check some of them out. A while ago I listened to Eleven Foot Pole, sadly not releasing anything anymore, and they were pretty great. Listened to them at the gym and people must have thought me a crazy person as I was trying to hold back...
When I do listen to live plays I usually get bored pretty quickly unless the group playing is very funny. As far as rules go I think most live plays don't use the rules enough, spending most of their time roleplaying, to get a feel for a system. At the same time this brings to mind all the times...
Now I don't think WotC or D&D is in trouble at all, but likening WotC steadily losing people to Darrington Press losing one and gaining two doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny.
The gate leads to a pocket dimension containing a large rainforest stretching along the inside of the tree. The rainforest is ruled over by a coven of witches that have been trapped there for centuries and they have passed the time by experimenting on the local flora and fauna creating all kinds...
If you want to go that route it's from the backers employers and once it was printed, most likely by the government. I don't know what point you where trying to make but the backers gave the money to Goodman Games of their own free will making the money Goodman Game's money. Goodman Games then...
After a time of grueling work on my shoulder health I'm about 90% pain free. It's that last 10% that has me worried something might flare up again. But I'm back doing push ups and even work on my pull ups again. I'm not going to failure during workouts right now due to previously mentioned worry.
While I don't disagree that Goodman might be the reason anyone is seeing any money back, fact remains that the money being paid is Bledsaws. That's why an escrow account is used. Also, as Bledsaw is the one selling something to Goodman he would be within his full rights to deny the deal of using...
Make no mistake people, it is Bledsaw who's refunding the backers with his money. It is money owed him through a licensing deal Goodman has agreed upon. That Bledsaw has agreed to allow Goodman to handle these refunds through and escrow account does not change whose money it is.
As someone who haven't seen Deathstalker it seems to me like my interest in some kind of Deathstalker supplement is greater than from those who've seen it. Looking at posters and pictures I think it looks kind of cool, but I get from others' discussions that the movie itself isn't very good and...
Hate this as well. If Goodman did this because he cared about preserving older gaming products for the future he wouldn't make an expensive luxury product and then add artificial scarcity on top of that. Of course, having it on sale would mean more money to JG in the future so it's basically a...
I found it pretty dull for the most part and then it just ended. I feels like the MCU movies have gotten a bit too comfortable holding off on the major climaxes and pushing them into later movies.
