Thunderfoot? Do you mean Dragonsfoot?

Yes, there are three within 5 miles of my house, and about thirty within the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area. We like games.

Indeed! In my experience, the value mechanics add to adjudicating social interactions comes from the randomness inherent in the die roll. At least, as it pertains to D&D. I cannot speak to some of the other games referenced in this thread. As an individual, I have certain tendencies on how I'd...

Except for the $100.00 dinner/drinks tab!

With the prevalence of technology, I find it very easy to run multiple threads simultaneously. My players keep their character sheets on their iPhones or iPads. Text messaging and email work nicely for communication, and dice rolling apps help resolve challenges. We still run a four-hour session...

Think of the example in the context of a whole campaign. While a 1% chance may appear as an automatic, it does not take too long before those chances add up to where you have a meaningful likelihood of failure. For example, 20 automatic "yes" answers changed to 99% chance of success means the...

In theory, anything goes. In practice, it's a little more complicated. I run a sandbox with a character stable. Each player runs 3-5 active characters, and has a number of inactive (retired, captured, lost) characters in reserve. This provides a lot of flexibility when assembling a party. I...

I find 12 to be about right. It offers enough opportunities for characters to grow and evolve without the endgame seeming unobtainable.

I'd be impressed if one of my players dropped an exclamation point in their character's name and could explain to me the significance of it. That's cool. But it would need to be in line and make sense within the overall game we were playing.
