SOTDL is sick. It's obviously been born from the love of the opaquely bleak setting of Warhammer but with more focus on the gonzo. But what's better is that it understands the dungeon-delving tropes are more fun than being a godamm rat catcher. You can be that, if you want, although it's just a...

A paragraph. This ain't a novel and I'm not your editor. I learned that lesson early on (but have broken it on occasion for my closest players because I'm not completely cold -- I hope...). The amount of horrible fan-fictiony short stories I've seen in my time GM'ing... Vampire's the worst for...

Ask for specific advice -- your question is very broad. If someone has an answer to give, have the time to write it and just plain feel like it, they will. You mentioned diplomacy. Don't make that light, that should be integral to the war. You could play off the treacherous Drow factions...

It's funny -- I don't see Pathfinder as complicated. It is the standard (as was 3.0/3.5 before it) from which all over tabletop RPG systems are compared with regards to complexity, variety and accessibility. There's a reason newbie gamers are still able to get into it, especially if they're...

We all use antagonist NPCs in our games but surprisingly, it's not exactly common to really have villains in our campaigns. The one character who's behind the real threat of the campaign, the real bad stuff you need to stop before it spells doom for all told. And they're not just doing it...

It's worth it, trust me on that. My club? Benefited greatly from being on Meetup, exposure-wise. For you, unless you're working a retail job or something, then bite the bullet (if you're actually serious about getting a group together) and sub for a month or two. Great thing about Meetup is when...

That is such an Alton Brown type o' joke. He did it in the salad episode for Good Eats. Check it out, show's awesome.

I saw a blog post where some random dude was complaining about the way explosive damage is handled in-game, especially the fact it actually attempts to simulate blast compression and ricochet from grenades/bullets bouncing off walls. I laughed. What an ass. Math is fine in RPGs (the hobby is a...

#2 is the way to go. Learn to GM. That's what that is. Funnily enough, like the Priority System, not everyone is going to be good at GM'ing. Like not everyone has high Resonance or Magic: their potential limited by their nature. Unfortunately, this means not many games and even fewer of those...

Moderator edit. Insults, attacks, using masked profanity as a weapon, and more. Completely unacceptable. It's also really long. I'm putting it in an sblock. -Darkness, EN World moderator Power-gaming is fine, as in optimizing your character to fit a certain "build" or niche. Role-playing is...

It's really simple: 1 = Attack 2 = Power 3 = Combat Factor (so special move) 4 = Cover 5 = Retreat I then create sub-tables for some of these initial rolls, for instance If (2) {1 = Vigor, 2 = Celerity, 3 = Obfuscate} If (3) {1 = AOA, 2 = Charge} If (5) {1 = Completely flee combat area, 2 =...

I use random roll tables instead to determine if a monster/NPC retreats from combat. If I roll "Retreat", that monster sprints away, effectively rendering only ranged characters able to take em'. This is for Shadow of the Demon Lord and I originally used random rolls for New World of Darkness...

I always play Half-Orc Monk (or Sorcerer). They're one of the best combinations to play. Without the old-school evasively eugenicist penalties to Int and Cha, sticking with the better modern interpretation of Pathfinder, that +2 Str bonus comes in handy when your abilities rely so much on decent...

Thank God for Spotify Connect! I can have my laptop behind me outputting music at 320kbps through the stereo speakers and control it via my smartphone with ease. I must change songs like a dozen times each session, each one chosen to fit the theme of the scene (think like dynamic music in...
