    Extensive Character Sheets Are GM Oppression

    As a GM I am not a fan of saying "No, you can't do that" to my players. They will always have the opportunity to try and roll for it. In the specific example given I assume that Intellect is just describing Education and would say that his character would have disadvantage, or merely have a...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    American cheese is just as much cheese as any other. It just does not taste like it, it has a kind of anti-flavor when not melted. When melted into things it just manages to be innocuous. The stuff that has a large portion of vegetable oil in it is called cheese goo, I assume everyone calls...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’m not usually one to point to Wikipedia as a definitive source but it is at least as accurate as any other random article on the internet. I’m not going to bother linking it but it just says it is minced meat. It does mention that some people have more specific definitions, if your into...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was always under the impression that the type of meat is immaterial to it being a shepherd’s pie. So ya… ^2

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I didn’t claim a direct link only that fish sauce has been in Europe for some time. I was not aware that the creators of Worcestershire sauce claimed inspiration, I don’t really see it. But then I don’t know what fish sauces were available from India or China at the time. An equally likely...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Fish sauces go back at least to antiquity, garum being an example. Worcestershire just out competed other English recipes. Pretty much every culture that does a lot of fishing invents one. I was aware of the Italian fish sauces, but now I know about Norwegian fish sauce as well.. Surprised...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are a number of cuts around on the internet that take all three movies and cut it down to around 2 hours. It is a much better movie. Not really a director’s cut though. Kind of the opposite. ^2

    Can I just delete JJ Abrams from the timeline? Is that allowed? ^2

    What Game Has The Best Fiction

    Excluding Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings; they belong to another category. Warhammer 40k without a doubt. If for no other reason than that The All Guardsmen’s Party exists. Caiphas Cain also is great. I love WH40k, but only when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. ^2

    Civilizations, RANKED!

    Be warned, wall of text below... 1. CIV 1 - Why, because my second game ever was epic. My first game ever was spending several hundred years trying to figure out how to move my unit out of the city. My second game involved me having budget issues which led me to find that I could solve them...

    Is Evil Genius Games Doubling Down On NFTs & Blockchain?

    While making an entirely new type of game, not a TTRPG, might be interesting. There might even be a market there. That still does not answer the basic question, Why NFTs? What can you do with NFTs that you cannot do with a database? MMORPGs already exist and they are run by databases. When...

    TSR How Appealing! Is the nuTSR Appeal Bananas?

    Why would PFT be used then? Is it just a way for the lawyer to tell the judge that he is not serious about this case, sorry for taking up everyone's time, but my client insisted, just play along and we all get paid for our time? ^2

    TSR How Appealing! Is the nuTSR Appeal Bananas?

    I mean, as the losing party, isn't LaNasa the one paying for Tenkar's lawyer, as well as his own, as well as the court? While assault by attorney is occasionally a tactic that can work if one side can keep the case tied up in the court long enough a quick case like this should not apply. ^2

    D&D 5E D&D Lied To Me. Gp vs Sp

    Honestly D&Ds gold pricing has always bugged me, even just calling it a gp rather than a Crown or Mark also bugs me. I much prefer Warhammer 1e or 4e, based on historical pricing. 1 Crown (GC) = 20 Shillings (s) = 240 Pence (d). With one pence buying a cheap beer. A pence would still be made...

    Any Supers Game that feels Super?

    I know you said your preference was for narrative games but I'm going to throw this one out there anyways. Prowlers and Paragons Ultimate Edition is an awesome game, a solid rules medium game. It manages to capture the feel of a game like Mutants and Masterminds while being much easier to run...

    The AI Red Scare is only harming artists and needs to stop.

    How big are the biggest cities in your campaign world?

    While I appreciate more thought put into it than, “a wizard did it.” It boggles my mind the vast underground seas teaming with billions of fish, they must be getting their food from somewhere as well, perhaps underground/underwater volcanoes, an entire mountain range of them? And then acres of...

    Which came first: the damage or the protection?

    I don't get why both cannot roll at the same time. Saves time. I don't understand why people need to wait to hear how much damage they take before they roll against it. Same thing with attacks and defense rolls... ^2

    Single System Monogamy

    I am most definitely not system monogamous. I bounce around a lot. That being said I do try and not bounce around too much for my groups sake. ^2

    What is, in your opinion, the single WORST RPG ever made, and why is it so bad?

    To respond to the original question about the worst game and why. I'm going to make a list because it is too hard for me to choose. Of games that I have played (I don't own it, I refused to pay money for it): 1. D&D3.5 - Yeah so the first RPG game I played face to face. (The second one after...
