    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    There was absolutely nothing cryptic. The description was the Ewok Village. I have never seen Star Wars and I know enough to think that a treetop village may, just may, have unique issues when deciding to jump 20' that could lead to problems... Also, Janx, we do the same to friends as we do...

    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    I was just discussing the mattervwithban outsidevparty... Theyvhave never sat atva table but they know the tropes of narrative and fantasy... They pointed out some great ideas on it. Really all three parties are at fault. The DM presented a situation that was tough for the player to try to go...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    Yes, of course this must be where it leads... Is it just that I do not play with people who practice this sort of creative idiocy? Ideally? Someone dies, maybe the whole party. Someone may lose a hand, some levels, a magic item, the trust of their cohort, or face to their honor. Amazingly...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    Again with the attacks... Yes the DM provides the backdrop... As I stated in that whole "the rest of my post" section. My players ask questions before they decide to make decisions. They have well-drawn-out scenarios... and no hand holding. Stupid decisions when deciding to not wonder about the...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    You allow characters to get away from death whether the cause be a lack of planning, caution, or processing and you develop players who rely directly on you. My players are not reliant on me for anything but the world's hidden corners. They build their families, sow their seeds, reap their...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    If you don't ask for clarification before making a leap? So you don't know the DC of the jump, how far you go and the repercussions of your actions? I believe the orcs have a term: "HHey Y'all watch this!!!' Slainte, -Loonook.

    Since We All Hopefully Picked Up Elements of Magic (Revised)...

    See I loved Mythic Earth and just wondered how Revised's new spell types have been put to use. Some of the other sources and writeups are great and I would love to see how the new Naval rules go from Ryan. Slainte, -Loonook.

    DMing Puzzles: Not Too Easy, Not Too Hard, What's Just Right?

    Not putting Acrostics on your prized possessions should be in the Mage's Sanctum handbook. The rest of your listing just says that the mage was poor and couldn't afford such opulence (keeping up with the Joneses just didn't work out)... But come on. Separate the pieces, provide them in some...

    D&D 5E I hope this isn't 5E...(art that screams "not this, not this!")

    In the back left... Why is Elton John masquerading as some sort of Fantasy Pope? Oh wait, this was the 80s... I honestly think that there is some horrid art from the old schools. I think the chintzy, tawdry, and poorly drawn was a bit of a mainstay. But there were some artists who I loved...

    Since We All Hopefully Picked Up Elements of Magic (Revised)...

    First off, I must say again thanks for the Leap Day Freebies from ENWorld. But one of them caught my eye in a huge way. Elements of Magic: Revised. Quite possibly one of the most fun little books for Non-Vancian magic with Ryan Nock/Rangerwickett at the helm. Now, as a fan of anyone willing...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    Now, besides the attack there, let's discuss your option. A player should ask "how close?" Done. Player resolved. No problem with an "Are you sure?" or clarification. But a player who just decided to jump... Sorry if your players are being obtuse, but perhaps my players just asked more...

    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    The OP never stated such. The Original POSTER actually went on to clarify in later posts that the other players proceeded to denounce the character 'in character' and left him hanging. He also states that he attempted (in vain) to explain this issues with it, and that there were no closed...

    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    The DM presents multiple options (bribery, going in, slashing it up, talking to the guards out front). The DM then gets back "screw that, I'm just going to be disruptive and run as far as I can, splitting the party in the middle of an adventure!" Obviously, total DM railroad... :yawn...

    [Legendfall] The Adventures of Jon Harrow

    The Next Chapter Is posted, and has a crime scene and new insights. We meet the Wizen and the Sword's Daughters, and a bit of an explanation of certain groups in the setting. Again all ideas are welcome, and I can answer questions about anything presented. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Looking for Old Real World Heroes and Villians Thread

    If you give me something a bit more to work on I'll search it up for you.. But I would need a name of someone who appeared on the list or something to start my search. Slainte, -Loonook.
