I tend to dump with an exception error once the rules tell me that I'm free to include or alter the rules how I want and to make the game my own.

You've gotta try it RAW at least once just to know how it feels.

I love the percentile system. However, I had an epiphany a while ago that the single-digit die is almost always irrelevant when rolling 2d10 – there's only a 10% chance that it'll be needed at all. Thankfully some systems like WFRP at least use it to determine hit locations and whatnot.

And a unicorn! You can't forget the unicorn!

But I thought Daggerheart was dead and that Darrington had no faith in the game since Critical Role isn't using it for the new season! At least that's what all the YouTubers told me. Was I misled about that?

Sigh. More junk science reporting of non–peer-reviewed material posted to arxiv.org. I love the idea behind open access, but the peer review process is still crucial.

I tried making some of these a few days ago. Ran some Vidalias through the thin slicer on the food processor, which worked pretty well. Then since the food processor was out and needed cleaning, went ahead and also pulsed the ground beef a few times with the regular blade to get a finer grind...

Plenty of mentions of Necrotic Gnome's stuff, but also take a look at Andrew Kolb's three sourcebooks (Neverland, Oz, Wonderland) for how to design table-playable material.

I'm more than content with a simple burger done well. Lightly seasoned 80/20 medium, toasted bun, American or cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, ketchup. But damn do I miss Killer Burger's PBPB (peanut butter pickle bacon). So many flavors that work wonderfully together. 🤤

As others have said, it likely goes back to the Canterbury Tales. More specifically, the Ratcatcher's Tale where the group had to first go to the tavern's basement to take care of a rat problem.

I know this isn't quite what the OP is getting at, but I remember seeing the Fiasco episode of TableTop on honest to god over the air broadcast TV over a decade ago. ETA: Ackshully it was 2 episodes. And yes, some local TV network picked up the show to air at strange times on one of the digital...

WOTC has long approached the video game market from the wrong angle. They really need to start with what their own goals are and work backwards from there instead of trying to claim to put the customers' desires in front. Therefore I suggest they try creating the microtransaction-laden Waterdeep...

@GreyLord, since you apparently have several extra copies of the starter set that you have no use for, I'm more than happy to take one off your hands.

I started playing Wrath of the Righteous a couple months ago. Made it to the start of Act 3, but I've completely burned out on exactly what you describe. Way too much research involved in picking feats and leveling up. Is this weapon going to help me or hinder me? Sorting out the various...
