There’s nothing wrong with a conjunction type event. It would be the basis for a campaign. Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft has Firan Zalhonan running around with his familiar Skeever in a wink wink nudge nudge way - there’s a very strong insinuation that the Apparatus has already been put into...
I seriously don’t know what the hell is with this notion of creating threads and then dictating to others how they are supposed to post in them. If you want to do that, create a + thread, but what I’ve noticed goes beyond that. There’s been this uptick in the number of OPs who want anyone who...
I think that’s the reason to tackle it - so much lore from the Ravenloft setting originated there, possibly more than was in the original module. It’s got a great conceit that will throw PCs for a loop. I also think there’s enough there to flesh out into a whole campaign. It’d be far better than...
I think it’s a reasonable proposition and I liked the mechanic when Mulligan brought it out in CR recently. The darkness thing was always a silly thing to me, and I also have wanted another mechanic in the mix because our advantage/disadvantage can be a bit monotonous after awhile if it’s...
I think it’s also unhealthy because it just turns into discourse about the discourse. We’re no longer talking about the products themselves, and we’re not even talking about the marketing of the products - we’re talking about the lack of marketing. Combine that with a niche industry that already...
The thing that gets me about this conversation is I remember literally being at a table at a Dundracon convention back in 1990 where a DM took out a lighter and lit a player’s character sheet on fire after the PC was killed by an energy drain attack and stomped it out quickly. The number of...
Yeah, I gotta admit the trailer itself does nothing for me. I like Nolan’s movies generally so the actual film will be up my alley but the palette of this doesn’t make me sit up and take notice.
I really like the direction you’re going with this. I think the Dex save rather than having to beat AC makes sense. The scaling damage makes sense from a balance perspective and narratively I’d probably consider that a result of the character being more accurate and deadly with their shots. The...
I just want to echo your sentiments here. I know that the groups that I’ve played with in the past 10 years were very different from some of the groups I played with back in the 80s and 90s. Not to say that it was all bad back then, and myself and my friends were in our teens back then, so...
