Original Danny was D&D... This new version will be for a PF2 campaign. Probably a maestro bard, but I still are keeping options open depending the rest of the party.

Chat GPT created a parody of Stay: I feel the dice, they're rolling so low We're in a bind, surrounded by our foe Our cleric's down, our fighter's nearly gone But don't you fear, 'cause I'm the one you're counting on Go, don't you go Won't you stay with me one more day If we get through one...

Grab my crucifix and holy water and yells: "Nobody expects for the Spanish Inquisition!!!" In a more serious tone: "One step closer to the stars"

I am making a new version of an old character I played with for a new campaign: Danny the Elfman. A bard, of course. The idea is that he sings hits when he casts his spells and even when he performs some actions. Like when he starts humming "Go, don't go, won't stay with me one more day. If we...

Not a nomination, just a honest question. Does D&D "new" 5e editions coming in 2024 counts?

With the best doctor (11th) and the best companion (Amy Pond)

And we have not even got to the endless war over how to pronounce Cthulhu.

We have a player named Beth. All her characters are "chaotic beth" (a slang in our table) ;)

I also believe it is good to separate the systems. For me, the WFRP (4e) is between ok and pretty good. But 40k is awful. Edit: Specifying which edition of WFRP I refer, since the system changed lots at each edition.

All players awaken in the same unlocked jail of a dungeon. No one remembers their past (class abilities and skills are "muscle memory). People seem to hunt them for something they did, but they do not remember what. The party work together to escape the dungeon and the nearby village and figure...

For D&D-related things: Cerilia (the continent of Birthright), Sigil, and Eberron. The World of Darkness from the 1st edition of Vampire, before all the metaplot ruined it. Theah (7th Sea)

GoT (the TV show) is just awful, except by the first season. From the second onwards, it deviated too much from the books for me to really connect.

I have different opinions about depending on different RPGs. Generally speaking, I like around 20 skills, neither too granular nor too broad. D&D and Storyteller System are more or less in the sweet spot for me. However, when I play 7th Sea (first edition, of course, because we don't talk about...

It's been a while since I last saw the weeping angels episodes, but was not there something about "forgetting they were there" when you got distracted? Maybe that makes the mechanics more interesting overall.

Anyway, what I mean as an advice, is that L5R is not your regular medieval fantasy game, just placed on Far East. Some troupes do not work in the setting and looting is one of them. No loot. No kill them for stuff. And, to other thing, no individualism. Rokugani culture is about to know his...

Even for a peasant is taboo... People touching a corpse are pariah and no one, not even peasants approach them. There is a special dragon magistrate school that is as a "CSI forensics" and they have special permission to touch corpses because they know special cleaning rituals to purify...

Not only be respectful of the culture (not mocking real world), but attempt to understand it. Many players will take wrong actions not on purpose, but because they did not understand some key facts of the setting. For example, it is common in a fantasy game to loot corpses. That is unthinkable...

I must be old and tired grumpy guy now, but I cannot connect with people complaining how a game is awful for their tastes, but insists in play that same game. No game shall be fun for everyone and it is ok. The games and tone I like can be the same games and tone some people consider awful, and...

Yes, when I rolled three terrible stats, I deliberately chose to put all of them in the physical attributes. Abjurer instead of other specialist mage was because an idea I had when conceiving that char, so it was a "roleplay" decision. The -1 HP could be very harsh in a regular Campaign and I...

Just to add: no, our DM never allowed "helpless" characters. Play with what you get. We never complained about, though.
