Well Skeletor tends to surround himself with incompetent fools, so it may not have worked out... :) ;)

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.

One of my favorite Vecna stories pits him against Orcus, and how Orcus uses Vecna's arrogance to curb stomp him. Wish I could find the link...

I'm not hung up on the wording, I simply don't think an action needs to be spent for it, and I provided a reason. You may disagree, but there is no need for a condescending tone.

I play the "regular" 2E remastered, but one thing I'd like to change/simplify is the shield mechanic. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that anyone holding a shield wouldn't raise it automatically at the start of combat. That is, a player shouldn't have to specify that they are raising...

Most of the widely played/popular TTRPGs were started in America.

Preferring rolling high is just the result of how we been conditioned to view larger numbers as better. For example, it's better to get a 100 on a test vs. a 59.

It wasn't me. I wouldn't have allowed it to go on that long. Mr. 2 hour roleplay is also the same guy who takes a long time to decide which spell to cast.

But neither are as real as the players.

You realize that we're talking about NPCs, not real people, right?

Spending 10 minutes talking to the NPC you're buying boots from is one thing, spending two hours talking to that NPC is something else... Ahem, no, I don't railroad. But are you seriously OK with the PCs going off and doing whatever? Really?... And IMHO, anyone who GM's a pure sandbox campaign...

PC's spending too much time roleplaying with unimportant NPCs.

One book, ...as long as all of the info can fit in a reasonable sized book. No one wants to carry a "biology textbook" to every game. Although, most rules are available as a .pdf, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Once the new books are released, I'll make the full switch to Pathfinder. :devilish:;) But seriously, the guy in my group running D&D will likely move us completely to the 2024 rules

More than a year ago, a YouTuber demonstrated how easy it was to curb stomp Vecna, so I don't understand the excitement.

One of the guys in my group will be starting a new campaign before the new books are released, so we'll probably play it with 5E 2014. I plan on continuing my PF2 game so the group can see how much better PF2 is compared to D&D.

Playing in a game where there was little or no risk of PC death would not be my preference.

I used to be rather anal about tracking xp, but over the past year or so I use milestone.

I've seen mention of geek culture becoming mainstream being good for the hobby, but it may not be. Remember when craft beer was a niche product? Remember the excitement and enthusiasm? Now that craft beer is mainstream, sales have plateaued and it's becoming harder to get the consumer really...

I see them slowing fading away, not disappearing overnight. Collectable editions "covers" are already sold. I see that becoming a greater share of book sales. I'm a grognard, and I haven't opened a physical TTRPG book in 3 years, or rolled physical dice. Yes, I have purchased .PDF's. Micro...
