Okay, considering the complexity and difficulty of your multifaceted goals for this scene, I’m setting this as a L+2 (L4) C4 Skill Challenge (10 Successes before 3 Failures), staged with 2 significant stakes: (1) uncovering Cosmo's connection to the Cult of Orcus achieved upon Success 6 and (2)...

So if a player calls for a knowledge roll to see if their PC knows if fire and acid will affect the troll and the GM says "no, because that's metagaming, your character wouldn't know that," is this a rules issue or is this a conflating of player/character knowledge? Or is a player not allowed to...

I'll simply note that neither you nor @Crimson Longinus has actually addressed why or why not the dissonance I see between when conflating between player & character knowledge is acceptable in preference for tone-policing deflections like this.

You've literally quoted my clarifying question and then labeled it as accusation.

So if the player knows the rules indicate fire and acid defeat a troll, the character should know such via this conflating, yes?

Surely you see the irony here, right? What you're doing isn't "not agree[ing]." It's engaging with something you don't like, in this case an unreleased game that you feel the need to slander the intentions of.

So, by this logic, you're fully on board with every PC knowing that fire or acid defeats a trolls regeneration ... because conflating character and player knowledge is the desiderstum here? At the very least, I assure you, @Lanefan is not on board with such!

You've been told in other threads already that the Kickstarter campaign was (1) very open with the fact that funding would be for development of the game (ie, actually making it, then playtesting, revising, and so on) and (2) this is how Kickstarters work, generally. At this point, one must...

Do you really feel scene framing is some arcane term that obfuscates what you define here?

Standing on the narrow shore, CHANVATI seems lost in thought. "Gosb'tar, are you okay?" asks Pa'avu with concern. "I've seen this river," replies the Psion. "That cannot be, gosb'tar. We have not been here. Unless you mean as a child, before I entered your House's service?" "No, Pa'avu," the...

Offthread, @Nephis indicated a desire to pursue option 3 above. So that's where we'll begin: The next day you rise with the sun, itself rising later each morning as autumn advances towards winter. You wrap your fur-lined cloaks close about you as wind gusts through the forest, swirling the last...

Before the heroes depart The Black Stage, its owner, a wizened dwarf named Ponlikdur bestows upon Pa'avu as appreciation for her heroics in preventing his theater from collapsing a lindenwood marionette of Goliath proportions and representative features, the work of Xiao Lin, the renowned...

If my first highlighting of your text is representative of what defines the core of your idea of roleplay, I would suggest that it is a very narrow slice of the possibilities of the term, one that might more accurately be described as focusing on cosplay. My second highlight is to emphasize...

It sounds like a lot of the problems you're running into are your group's idiosyncrasies rather than system issues.

Okay, here's how we see things moving forward from this point ... at least a bit into the foreseeable future. Clearly, some time needs to pass in order for Scheherezade's reordering of Hageri's political structure to be effected: the selection (and election?) of Senators from various walks of...

As Pa'avu "settles" the tension between Rietka and the newly-patriotic members of the Second Nation, CHANVATI turns his attention to aiding the Wardenguard and the few trained emergency personnel amongst the audience of the Black Stage. "Interesting, that," he thinks to himself, "how few among...

Skill Challenge, Make Camp in the Perilous Wilds successfully completed. Rewards: Take an Extended Rest. XP: 125/4 PCs= 31.25 = 30 XP/PC. For a "procedural" Skill Challenge such as this, I'm not going to tally this towards Milestones accrued with regards to checking Grim Portents in Fronts...

Skill Challenge, Make Camp in the Perilous Wilds, L2 C1 (4 Successes before 3 Failures) (3 Successes/0 Failures; 1 Secondary Skill available; DCs 9/13). The crows seem well and truly delighted and satisfied by the proffered grubby meal. They croak and kraa and devour and peck and circle and...

Skill Challenge, Make Camp in the Perilous Wilds, L2 C1 (4 Successes before 3 Failures) (2 Successes/0 Failures; 1 Secondary Skill available). At Mylistra's prayer and ritual, the supernatural smoke dissipates and the glowing of the pyre lies on the ashes of its youth. Now it is time for...
