    How do you introduce intrusions? More to the point, are the players aware that you've used an intrusion?

    Help Me Understand Fate Core

    My post comes from a Fate Accelerated perspective. Invoke another character's Aspect: If the Aspect is applicable based on the situation and the "fiction of the game", pay a Fate Point to the GM (unless you are Invoking another PC's Aspect TO USE AGAINST THAT PC, in which case you pay the Fate...

    Sexism in Table-Top Gaming: My Thoughts On It, and What We Can Do About It

    For life advice, I'm okay with it, but it doesn't come across as the best advertisement to grow the hobby. EDIT: "Oh, you will have a great time, just ignore the misogyny and marginalization that comes with playing."

    Sexism in Table-Top Gaming: My Thoughts On It, and What We Can Do About It

    Is "wear your asbestos armor" supposed to be serious advice to anyone who wants to play a fun game?

    D&D 5E Whats your dealbreaker for 5E?

    Probably a screech owl, since my sarcasm and anti-D&D comments seem to occasionally be annoying. :)

    Sexism in Table-Top Gaming: My Thoughts On It, and What We Can Do About It

    The "dwarves and hobbits go to the whorehouse" is offensive to whomever is offended, regardless of gender. If the specific individual happens to be a woman, the existence of 50 Shades makes no difference...even if she read and enjoyed it. If she partakes in that sort of humor regularly, then...

    Any RPGs that focus on roleplaying instead of combat?

    Oh, I have no doubt that skills can, and in some cases do, facilitate the circumvention of roleplaying, but that does not equate to the prevention of roleplaying.

    Any RPGs that focus on roleplaying instead of combat?

    Actually, Derren's first statement is correct. It is a totally false claim that having skills prevents roleplaying.

    Does D&D Next need to be a success for D&D to be a success?

    I walked into a crowded room and said, "I play Pathfinder." I spent the next few minutes describing what it is that I play, including the use of the phrase - it's like Dungeons & Dragons. Now replace the word Pathfinder with GURPS, Savage Worlds, Vampire: The Masquerade, Fate, Hackmaster, etc...

    Serious question - are you going to invest in D&DNext?

    Nada. It will be invested in by multiple members if my group, though.

    D&D 5E Whats your dealbreaker for 5E?

    It has classes, levels, hit points...for starters. While I will play what the group wants, and the group is a D&D group, I don't like D&D (or games with similar mechanics).

    D&D 5E Are you going to buy the 5e Core Books?

    Very unlikely. Odds are that our group will play it, but I don't plan to buy the books.

    If anyone in my game has Fate or Fudge dice, that would be great. Cindy's and the girls' sets are packed, so I am a set short.
