If only the DM was in some sort of a position of authority and trust where he or she could act with metagame knowledge and be trusted not to abuse it. If only that were the case. If only such a position existed at the gaming table. Some sort of a master of dungeons that the players agree, by...

It's a suburb of Indianapolis. So Fishers itself is... decently/small-ish in terms of being a city (it just became one), but it just flows into Indianapolis.

When I first started reading this place... it was the old black background board (pre 3.5). Then I stopped reading around 2006. I come back and dag-gum! Everything dun did changed. (And I signed up for an account after leaving the Big Purple Board.)

An interesting study. So I have submitted my answers.

American high five and split a batch of Freedom Fries, Lowkey? B-)

"Alea iacta est." It sounds much better if you use the correct singular of die when translating it. This must be one of those U.K. things that bothers the hell out of some people across the pond... such as when grammar historians say that we Americans pronounce words closer to Shakespeare than...

I've played Exalted... once you can save me 5 or 6 minutes a combat... well, soon we'll be talking about real time! :)

I don't think there is a RAW way to do it. I think Chapter 8 of the DMG pretty much says, "There isn't one way."

Which... given the history of both phrases, is REALLY pedantic to the point of misunderstanding what "I could care less..." means. B-) (Pedantic about being pedantic.) (That was one of two incorrect statements Weird Al made in Word Crimes that got one of my old English profs who I keep in...

Scythe pronounced as skythe... or skimitar (auto-correct even just tried to fix that for me... thanks auto correct!).

My understanding is that unless it's in the Sage Advice Compendium (a PDF you can download), it's not official UNLESS Jeremy Crawford tweets it. ...huh, this Shield query isn't in the compendium. Well, that makes me feel better about quietly ignoring the ruling. ^_^ (Though I do often tell my...

Note that I'm not advocating that the Sage Advice is wrong, or that you're wrong to not roll in secret. I'm saying "the game assumes open rolls" is inaccurate. From the text, it assumes no such thing - it calls out certain rolls as being open (and sometimes does that poorly), but the DMG is...

The context of the rest of that paragraph makes it clear that line is referring to players, not the DM. EDIT: the context of the rest of that whole SECTION makes it abundantly clear. Especially the third paragraph, which starts with, "What about you, the DM?" The section clearly indicates the...

I thought that was a British English thing... (for example, Games Workshop does this in their rulebooks). Drives me nuts too.

This is... not correct (edit: but you did say to your knowledge, so credit there for a good caveat). Or rather, it's missing a data point and making an assumption that's leading it to a conclusion that's pure hogwash. Specifically, Chapter 8 of the DMG, which absolutely "allows" a DM to roll in...

It's much friendlier than RPG.net's forum. (Which is not to bash RPG.net, it is to say that EN World feels easier to understand the rules of the road on and be part of the community.)

Nonplussed with the rusty cover, but still excited for Starfinder.

That is an amazing cover... and I've been impressed with their other 5th Edition Middle Earth offerings. Guess I might have to pick this one up.

Oh, and I definitely don't want to make the posts the same, so I don't get picked up as a spambot by accident... OFF TO OTHER PARTS OF THE FORUM I GO!

This is nice and handy, but now I have to make 5 posts before I can PM people looking for games! Oh well. =)
