Cause, RAW, most skills suck and aren't worth paper they are printed on. While 5e did go in rulings over rules direction, that left skills vague on purpose compared to 3.5 where skills had precise dc for precise tasks, that left lot of room for house rules on how they work and what you can or...

Bard was my favourite 3.5 class. And it was great second best jack of all trades class. 5e bard on the other hand is top tier class, full caster, solid fighter, solid skill monkey. Built right it can overshadow some classes in their own niches. 3.5 ranger was solid. It had more skill points...

Physical stuff has one big advantage. You can borrow them, don't need to own everything. Back in era of dead wood books, dvds and music cds, borrowing to and from friends was pretty normal thing. You buy some stuff, they buy, when you finish reading/listening/watching/playing, you give it to...

Glad it works well for you :D As i said in post you quoted, if people find online play enjoyable, it's awesome tool with lot's of benefits, scheduling and logistics being major one. Btw i'm stealing that expression about feral offspring :D Yep. Online helps immensly with keeping up in those...

Rotating has it's value, but one needs some discipline. On the other hand, if you managed to snatch good promotional plan (like he did with half off on max in perpetuity) it makes no sense to cancel unless you really don't use it. More and more ISPs are packing video streaming services as part...

When it comes to running sandbox type game, my first thing is to asses what type of players i have, are they more proactive or reactive, both on individual and group level. For proactive players, bare bones are enough. They will do most of heavy lifting. For reactive players, those ones need...

@Velderan I get it and agree. Having spent few years in army (as 2nd and 1st leutenant in mechanized infantry) i see your point. And know the type. Ones born for scrubbing latrines with toothbrush until they start developing some common sense. @payn No matter the format, very few shows can...

Like i said, it's just something that irks me and kills suspension of disbelief a bit. That and blatant disregard for orders from higher ups in chain of command. I get it that Ellie is imune to infection. But like Tess told her in S1, she isn't immune to being ripped apart. Yet her and Dina...

I have cousins and friends who were teens during the siege of Sarajevo(1992-1996), few of them did join defenders. By their own words, circumstances forced them to grow up and mature real fast. It's not really post apocalyptic, just "regular" warzone. Sure, no zombie fungus, just regular human...

Depends how much of source material they have. 4 seasons is maybe streching it, but if S3 also has 7 episodes (or even 6), there could be case made to justify making S4. S2 needed one more episode. If they are going for Abby as S3 lead, they needed to give her more screen time for audience to...

For people that primarily enjoy gaming for the sake of playing the game, online play is great. It gives much more flexibility in scheduling, opens up more people to play with and cuts down on logistics. It's great tool. For people like my group and me, gaming isn't only about playing game...

Sorry to hear that. I had something similar happen back in younger days. Our HS gaming group fell apart when HS ended. One player moved to another city for university, DM and other player went to do mandatory military service, another one just stopped answering texts. So no gaming for year and a...

But they got rights for adaptation of both games, so it would be waste not to do it. There is enough game fans to justify it. No Pedro, no show is problem of their own making. If you frame entire season as Joel and Ellie story and set them up as only protagonists of the show, kiling of one of...

I like to finish the season. Also, i was interested in what way would Ellie's character arc and character development go or would any of the remaining characters get more spotlight ( kind a hoped for more focus on Tommy to be honest, he seemed like an interesting character). I quite liked S1...

Like i said, i haven't played the game so i'm not familiar with the story in the game. Also, game and tv shows are different media types. What works for one, doesn't necessary works for other. From the perspective of S1, it was framed as a story about Joel and Ellie, with their relationship and...

Never played the games. So i'm commenting this just from tv series perspective. Wife and i watched seasons 1 and 2 back to back. Killing of Joel was point at which i decided i'm done with show. Sure, killing protagonist's isn't anything new, but this was story about Joel and Ellie. It didn't...

One of the bigger problem with ranger is that his main niche isn't really that prominent in modern adventures and that other classes have better and more efficient ways to deal with same problems. One of his main shticks is that ranger is wilderness survival expert. Yet, by tier 2...

Most of PF1 classes are subpar and niche and frankly, just bloat. In classed systems, few good classes, where each one covers specific niche and doesn't step on other classes toes is better than dozens of very niche classes with large overlaps and small differences. But it's more matter of...

Why not? In real life, George Foreman named all his five sons - George Edward Foreman. No reason not to do same in make pretend game :D

By OP logic, there are decent chunk of classes that are superfluous. Paladin - martial version of cleric. Druid- nature cleric. Warlock- goth cleric (still spell beggar) . Bard - music magic version of rogue. Barbarian - rage fighter. Ranger - fighter with SERE training. Might as well go with...
