Fear is pretty subjective. I was watching Nightmare On Elm Street at the age of 6 because my parents DGAF, and now almost nothing scares me. But I still have a deep appreciation and love of the horror genre, so even if I'm not feeling "scared" I'm probably loving every minute of the atmosphere...

Yeah, it's a bit like trying to Min/Max and doing a very bad job at it. The overall motivation (Win The Game) is an issue, but the actions they are taking are no danger at all. I'm certainly glad the video exists, but his actions at the table at not a threat. If anything, the threat would be...

I admit, I don't even see the problem with the Guardian as long as they are doing something. Pop their Unstoppable and stomp around the battlefield grappling, disarming, and doing all kinds of non-damaging disruptive stuff. It's a once per long rest ability to be a badass for one scene, so I'm...

I'm trying to figure out a good way to handle Daggerheart's No Initiative system in a PBP game. It's been working great in my online games, but I also do some PBP and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I generally use Sided Initiative in PBP, even when I'm running things like 5E - all of my...

Don't mind me, just trying my hand at some practice homebrew. FARMBORNE Being part of a farmborne community means you're from a rural region without the luxuries of city life. You might be from an idyllic and relaxed shire where the crops are bountiful, and easy living is how you spend your...

I suppose the dividing line for me would be... the moment I start trying to figure out how to get from A to B. Like, just daydreaming a cool scene wouldn't count in my book. But once I start thinking about where in the story the scene should be, what might lead up to it, and what consequences...

I actually find it hard NOT to prep. I'm just going through my day and my brain spits out things that would make a good cinematic or memorable scene in a game. You can't always use every scene you imagine, but my brain just starts absently trying to figure out how to connect those scenes, and...

As a positive, I really love how there's almost no darkvision in the game. There's the Vial of Moondrip as a consumable potion, and one spell that creates a specific zone of darkness you can see through, but otherwise nothing. Underborne only gives advantage, you don't actually see anything...

My first training wheels game was with a solo player. He rolled 6 successes with Hope in a row. It was honestly kind of funny in a "I guess the dice say you rock this scorpion like a badass, I'm sure there will be fights where it swings the other way."

Yeah, I ran into the issue because I didn't want to take actions away from the player, but the NPC was clearly being asked to do far more than "chipping in now and then", and I was uncertain (as someone new to DH) if I should be spending DM moves on him since the NPC is actively supporting the...

Could be all of the above. He might have wanted more pay for his work, or to focus more on his personal projects, but wanted to stay until Daggerheart was officially done. He could have even intentionally waited until after DH has been selling for a little while, so the announcement of his...

Oh! I see that now. Since we're all online PDF players and don't actually use cards, we were all going by the information in the class section. But you're absolutely right, the Pg 407 section clearly shows multiple Foundation abilities on a single "card." Thank you for all the answers!

I read over the section, but it seems to recommend not giving them stat blocks and just having them interject when narratively appropriate, but I'm running a training wheels game as we learn the rules and my players essentially promoted a side NPC into a party tank. Set him up with armor, he...

I'm brand new to the game, just a couple days in, so it's likely I've overlooked some rules. But I'm scratching my head at a few things like: When do allied NPCs with stat blocks take their turn? What do heavily obscured areas do, especially Mysterious Mist? Do you get all Foundation cards at...

Sounds a bit like my father. Only 65 and won't touch a cell phone.

I would chip into getting Ed a decent computer any day. The least I could do after decades of fun.

I really struggled with Persona 5. It got such high praise, but I just couldn't handle the dialog.

I always ruled that the opening rotates around the internal space - so a portable hole opened on the ground leads to the ceiling of the internal space. If you open the portable hole on a wall, you come in from the side of the internal space. This ensures shelving and fragile objects are not...

I find D&D far better at generating stories than generating fair and balanced encounters. Some of the most memorable moments in the game have been the result of great or terrible luck with the dice, and rarely does the party discuss how well balanced my encounters were 20 years later. There are...
