    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    I'm still surprised you're able to do it that quickly. Like, don't get me wrong. Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master has made me a MUCH better GM, along with taking player feedback into account. I've modified your methods as you gave them and I found them a powerful, great tool. But I find I...

    Pathfinder 2E What is needed in a non-Golarion setting?

    There is, but a lot of that really is flavour based. The requirements for some backgrounds are based in Golarian, so if you wanted players to access those mechanics, you'll need to rename areas to match your homebrew and what makes sense in your world. Could you expand on this point further to...

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    Very irresponsible for Sky to call it a lie and imply the program has intentions. The program isn't alive. It's a text predictor that generates bullsh!t*,has no intention and has zero understanding of what it's doing. It's why LMMs should primarily be called LMMs and not 'AI'; it muddies the...

    Homebrew Homebrew Rule: Incapacitation, Bloodied, and "Powering Through"

    An interesting way of doing it. I'll put this away in a homerule suggestion list for when I run another game. My suggestion has always been that Incapacitation only upgrades a Critical Failure to a Success*, and no further. Essentially, protect bosses from being completely destroyed, but still...

    Caverns of Thracia Returns! Now live!

    I received my PDF today! It looks wonderful. I've only had a skim of some of the essays but there are some beautiful essays interviewing Jennell and her legacy. Teared me up a bit, talking about her advocacy for trans rights and her impact. A wonderful day.

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    You used to be able to set the Humble percentage to zero and give all to charity, but they removed that a while ago. At-least you can set the publisher amount to zero still.

    Paizo New Positions For Paizo Veterans!

    I think Pathfinder, Starfinder and Paizo are in a good place. Let WoTC be the top dog. As long as Paizo treats its workers well and keeps making great products, they don't have to be at the top.

    Caverns of Thracia Returns! Now live!

    Quite interested in picking this up. Castle Amber surprisingly has way too much stuff in it but I do love the variety in allowing me to pick and choose what I run or not; plus, I'd love to see the original and what Jennell produced, so I am looking forward to picking up the book combo (and...

    2d20 Heroes of Might and Magic RPG from Ubisoft and Modiphius

    Heroes of Might and Magic 3 still has a huge community around it, a lot centered around modding - Horn of the Abyss is, in my opinion, so excellent it essentially can be treated as a fourth official expansion to the game and the closest to a modern release. It is not surprising that they...

    D&D General New Interview with Rob Heinsoo About 4E

    I 'understand it different' because the way you frame it is not what Paizo actually said, because the way you said it implies that it was the 'changes' in the GSL that caused the issue; that didn't help. But GSL or no, the 4e changes seem like they would have pushed Paizo out of Wizard's system...

    D&D General New Interview with Rob Heinsoo About 4E

    That's interesting. Paizo Publishing's 10th Anniversary Retrospective—Year 6 (2008) Forging Our Own Path Quoting a lot from the most relevant article. 2007 does mention the license but primarily focuses on the loss of the magazine license as being the bigger problem, and the 4th edition...

    D&D General New Interview with Rob Heinsoo About 4E

    This is not true. The GSL is not the reason Paizo made Pathfinder, it's the rule changes in general. They would not have stuck with 4e and would have done their own thing, at-least initially. All your points combined could have meant Paizo would make 4e content at some point, but Paizo decided...

    At My Most Burned-Out in 35 Years

    OK, so I am a younger woman and not married, and I have not GM'd very long, so I hope I am not speaking out of turn. But none of this strikes me as a problem relating to being a Game master. Instead, I think it's a problem relating to how others are treating you, and how much you are pushing...
