I didn't vote because having a schedule/doing it systematically as the survey seems to imply, doesn't make sense. A character death should be driven by the environment they are in, and the decisions and actions they take. IMO, the possibility of death should always be present, otherwise...

I played 1E and 2E and then stopped playing for a long time because I couldn't find anyone else interested, and eventually gave up. Then by chance, I came across my current group when the GM was looking for people to play 5E which had just been released about a year before.

He probably thought talking about his life story would garner sympathy and ensure a larger tip. :) :rolleyes:

Yea, I don't want an involved conversation with a retail worker either, but I don't think thank you or good morning reaches that level.

In the past few years, I found that the people behind the counter are detached, and have a bad attitude. They don't even have the motivation to do the basics like "good morning, or thank you, have a nice day, etc. This is surprising to me because when I was their age and working in retail, you...

Assuming the GM sets the difficulty appropriately, it should be fine. Player: "I want to flap my arms and fly away". GM: OK, just role a 35 on a d20". Player: But that's impossible". GM: Yes. *** After a while, the players would start getting a hint. Otherwise, it sounds very similar to a...

Yea, I guess in a fantasy game, you can do whatever. :)

An article in Dragon magazine in the 80's gave "stats" to God and Satan. Every stat had either "Special" , "Unlimited" or "See below" listed next to it. Kind of pointless to give stats to beings who are supposed to be omnipotent.

I was being facetious. :)

That's him, and he has stats! Let's kill him! :) ;)

If I recall from Deities & Demigods, there are at least 2 pantheons (Egyptian "Atum" and one other) that had creator gods, that faded into the background after their work was done, and lead the way for the more relatable human-centric gods.

Well of course. People have been attributing human characteristics to gods since forever. "god made man in his image"... It's the height of human hubris to think they are at or nearly on par with beings who created the planes of existence. - even in a small way, such as appearance.

I like a combat focus with a story developing as events unfold, and the PCs interact with the world. My view of "serious" is making sure tactical combat stays within the parameters of the rules, so that the PC's have to make meaningful choices. So, in other words, if a spell has a range of 60...

Yes, that's where it comes from. I just don't care for it. It's one thing for the gods to interfere/intervene with mortal affairs, and another to see them hanging around Olympus acting like the characters in a reality show.

That's the thing. IMO, it shouldn't be interactable. What's the point of being a deity if you're just a little stronger than the most powerful mortals. I know it's popular, but I never cared for the notion that the gods are driven by human-like needs/motivations, their immortality being the...

I'd give you more than 100 likes for that comment if I could.

I could give you examples, but I might get smacked for introducing politics into the thread.

When I moved from my college dorm to my first apartment, I got rid of a lot of D&D stuff. I've regretted it ever since I've seen the prices people are willing to pay on eBay.

He would be 100x worse than the the current Hasbro executives, IMO.
