    D&D 5E Character play vs Player play

    Hussar, the players cannot "will" things, and events into existence. The final arbitrator is the DM. The player can ask, "Is there a quest for getting my horse?" or "My character is going to the shrine to pray for the warhorse". In the situation of the boxes, the player will ask "Is there any...

    D&D 5E Character play vs Player play

    Why not? There are a lot of things in life that just doesn't have an answer or will be too tedious to find an answer or nigh impossible to get one.

    Chess is not an RPG: The Illusion of Game Balance

    Again I have to disagree. Let's take a real life scenario. Presumably that you have some experience in the army (as I have) and/or weapon arms. A M16 rifle vs carbine - which has more recoil? Will a person who has more strength shoot better (handling the recoil effect) than another? Will...

    Chess is not an RPG: The Illusion of Game Balance

    Pemerton, I agree and structure is merely there as either a guideline or to conform play into a certain manner. Yet, without these rules, consistency goes for a toss. I happen to play three of the four RPGs you mentioned above and the nature of these games (three of the four that I know)...

    Chess is not an RPG: The Illusion of Game Balance

    Essentially, I agree that RP definitely doesn't equate balancing the game. In fact, I felt that the designers need to balance the game stems from the need to play the game as a...game (computer, console, MMO, board gaming, etc other than pen-and-paper RP) without the RP. That's why I'm sad that...

    Any takers for D&D 5e in the little red dot?

    It's soo hard to find P&P gamers in Singapore. Anyone from that little red dot who is interested in playing D&D 5e or is already wading deep in it and is willing to take on another player/DM?

    D&D 5E Am I the Only One Not 100% Impressed with the Monster Manual?

    For all its worth, I am also not 100% impressed with the MM. It's good no doubt and definitely a necessity as a basic buy into D&D 5e but it is certainly lacking certain easy reference tables and it also seem to bland. I'm not saying that the quality of the physical book is poor and neither are...

    House Rule for Healing in 5th Edition D&D

    D&D 5e Healing System sucks Foremost, I honestly feel that WoTC designers (given the time and budget) could have derive a better system that what is offered here...sad. Imagine a tortured prisoner healing totally after a night's sleep in his cell or injured soldiers in a war fully healed the...

    ZEITGEIST Adventure 6 text available for gold subscribers soon. Also, hardcover discussion.

    Single Huge Tome Excites me! I'll prefer the one huge monstrous tome! I know it's not convenient to lug around but that's what the PDFs are for :) The hardcover 10kg book? It's a collector's item :D but of course, giving the option for both (separating it into 3 books or one major huge tome)...
