I can see 2 takes on it. 1. You believe the gods either dont exist or arent gods as has been mentioned. 2. You do believe the gods are real but in a pantheistic society the character simply hasnt found the one patron god that really speaks to them yet. So even though he knows the gods are...

Hmm, I'd call it d6 one handed, D8 two handed. I wouldnt make it a feat though. The thing is one of the simplest weapons in the world and even two handed its still inferior to other two handed weapons. Tacking a feat tax onto it on top of that seems excessive for the payoff.

with my last group most of us had wives or girlfriends who would make some sort of snack that we would bring. Could have been anything from cookies to flatbread or veggie snacks. My favorite was our fighters wife made home made german style pretzels. My work schedule shifted though so I had to...

I'd say since you can use it either one or two handed in a fight it would have its own category, sort of a bastard sword of clubs with different stats depending on how you use it.

I would compare adamantium to depleted uranium because of its hardness and density. And Mithril to magnesium. Its 50% lighter then titanium and still pretty strong when worked correctly. Which is admittedly a difficult and very modern process.

LOL this reminds me of the bard from order of the stick.

ugh, this is like a geek fallacy. Not being able to call out crap when we see it because we dont want to hurt the feelings of the author of said crap. No its not helpful. If anything thinking that deeply about running a game just leads to OVERTHINKING a hobby. As a GM its your job to make...

things must have been pretty screwed up to start with if those people made it better. I suppose if the bar is low enough though even a drunk midget with a ball and chain on his ankle could hop it.

1. Running heroic stories. I'm a very grey morality person and I like gritty, grey morality stories. Classic hero stories bore me and I have a hard time running them. 2. Running games with battlemat style tactical combat. I hate these games. They bore me to tears and I'm somewhat...

just wanted to say that oakheart is absolutely spot on here. "scene framing" is GMing from the player perspective. Or in another sense, topping from the bottom. Which is not a compliment. You decide what role you want to play in a game. If your not willing to put in the time and effort to be...

For humans I use different real world pantheons in different geographical locations. The ones i use most often are norse, greek, and egyptian. Most non-humans have very different faith systems.

Since elric of melnibone and conan have already been mentioned I'll go with "a wheel of time". Fantastic series with very rich characters and interesting magic.

Given that they are in casinos and you have to be 21 to play them yes I think its weird. There are no children playing D&D slots. Plus I won 50$ on one on friday. So leave them alone lol.

On the same note I like the hound. He seemed to me like a basically decent person who had through circumstance and environment been turned into a sort of a monster. But he did ultimately do more good then bad in the books. Also Spiderman always struck me as a flawed hero. Theres the clear...

Sounds like you have an inferiority complex. Thats usually the case when a person feels like someone else is being "elitist" about something that has absolutely no effect on their life, but decides to be offended by it anyway. Well I am willing say it. Railroad games are bad. They are boring...
