    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

    yes, it simulates the chaos of gnome swarms dashing around together to make stuff happen "everybody roll, take the highest", and really how many times do you ever see a party of 8 gnomes? :) Being a combat game people always get caught up with the gnomes wielding great axes debate, but really a...

    My Dark Shadows over Europe campaign features both the Inquisitors Papacy in Rome (The Grand Inquisitor of Spain was elected Pope) and the Papat d'Avignon in France, although the Great Schism is shifted in time to fit the rest of the setting and both persist due to magic. Southern France is in...

    Must You Tell Your Players What Adventure You Are Running?

    fair enough, but for me those things are all part of session 0, where we will discuss what we understand "late Rennaissance coastal city" means including asking the PCs what they think the politics looks like, introduce the characters they want to play (focussing on their Backgrounds) and have...

    Must You Tell Your Players What Adventure You Are Running?

    This has come up a few times and I dont get it - if I tell the players "you're starting in a coastal city bustling with trade, warm climate, late rennaisance, all phb races - is that not enough to tie yourself to the setting? As GM Id that pick up your PCs background to expand on. No adventures...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    RE Howards The Horror From the Mound 1932 is the first story to feature a wild west cowboy disturbing a burial mound in Texas, unleashing a vampiric revenant conquistador. It thus earns its place as the orginator* of the Weird West Genre * there were earlier penny dreadfuls featuring ghostly...

    There are only two Terminator Movies anyway, the TV series was fun too The first Fast and Furious I saw was 5 (I think), I realised then that the series had nothing to do with car racing John Wick has been good quality (though I saw 2 before I saw 1)

    Tipping in Great Britain (or more specifically, England).

    Requesting a tip is very American and I’d have thought it antithecal to most sensibilities, at least outside charity stores who may collect donations. If you encountered it they were being opportunistic, which may well be a sign of the times

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I liked that the episode was entirely character study, with no need for an obligatory action scene and Great to see Fisk has still got his dark edge too
