    Two Days Left To Vote For Most Anticipated RPG of 2018!

    Numenera 2 is the only thing to which I am looking foward in 2018.

    Isle of Dread Novelization

    I thought that maybe Doyle did a hundred years ago.

    Predictive text your character [thread game]

    My character is a bit of a strange thing but it was fun to play. My character was so nice and the only one that was able to get a bit more time with the game.

    Loops in RPG Adventure and Game Design

    I think that many PBtA games are loop-driven, but the loop is an adventure-length loop, rather than a Halo-esque 30-second loop.

    D&D 5E Things that make no sense rp wise

    It's not RAW, but it's 5e compatible.

    OK, what about this one? Can you see this?

    I can't see this thread.

    D&D 5E Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    While I have never played in, nor run, Eberron, it is a setting that I really like (currently planning to run the setting for the first time, but using Savage Worlds). I would like to see either a campaign book or supplemental guide that brings races/classes/class features/etc. from the setting...

    [OT] What the hell does "reaver" mean ?

    hnoor0022 might be a reaver, for they have reaved this thread from its almost 14-year slumber.

    D&D 5E Standard security features of a permanent Teleportation Circle

    Teleportation Security Administration agents would be checking identities and gear of anyone who has a valid ticket to travel via a teleportation circle. The long lines, occassional strip-searches, and surly attitudes of the agents would foil many a nefarious plot.

    D&D 5E Can a fireball melt ice?

    Yes, most likely. The one your character is wielding, however, would depend on the success of your saving throw in some games I run. In other games, your character's ice dagger would be safe.

    D&D 5E Can a fireball melt ice?

    I am less concerned with melting and more concerned with the explosion shattering my ice glass and spilling my iced chai latte. If I saw the magic user casting, I would grab the glass and hope that the DM ruled a certain way regarding unattended vs attended items. What? I like my iced chai latte. ;)

    How do you introduce a monster?

    Not necessarily true. Sometimes the DM doesn't even enjoy hearing the DM talk. ;)

    D&D 5E Is it houseruling to let a torch set fire to things?

    While I might rule that a missed save exposes worn and/or carried items to burninating, I think it would be a house rule. I think that the words used in a ruling do set expectations. Absent any rules, real-world behavior is a safe expectation (breathing is RAW). The use of inclusive/exclusive...

    How do you introduce a monster?

    I think I prefer to start with the picture, then read/paraphrase the description if one is available. I have played, and had fun with, the Guess That Monster Metagame Within The Game (and I still do at times), but poor descriptions bother me and the Let's Fool The Veteran Players Metagame...

    D&D 5E Reactions

    I would rule thusly: Your character takes damage and must save vs paralysis, but you also make an attack roll, and if it hits, you inflict damage. This would be easily described as making a desperate attack as paralysis is setting in. I don't believe this interpretation is against RAW, but I did...

    D&D 5E The word ‘Race’

    I just received the latest Fate World of Adventure, Masters of Umdaar, and it calls out its choice in terminology of using Bioform in place of Race. In other news, I am a terrible human being who prefers to use RPGs for glorious, non-metaphorical, cathartic fun!
