Right. The ravine before the fort. That's a 1E module. Are you running 1E? No sure if there's that much difference in the NPC stats. I don't remember. Comparing the module to the 2E core, it looks like the stormtrooper stats are identical. From the module: Sand People: DEX 2D+1, blaster...

Are you running a module? Which one?

Any of them, really. But my favorite of the bunch is 1E because it's simpler and more streamlined.

That is an odd one. I think it's a hold over from 5E, honestly. Big numbers good and all that. They seemingly wanted to resolve hit point bloat, which they did. Trouble is they mostly shifted that bloat from HP to thresholds. I'm the same as you on this one. I'd much rather they skipped the...

Look, I love the Myth of Sisyphus as much as the next guy, but Zeus hasn’t cursed you to roll that particular boulder up that particular hill. You are free to walk away. You could just stop. Really. Just stop. Completely unrelated. The ignore list exists for a reason.

In my playtests I’ve had to fight to keep from capping fear constantly. The suggestions in the book re: how much fear to spend depending on the scene is garbage as far as I’m concerned. If I’d have done that I’d be sitting at 12 fear most of the game.

There’s precious little hope and quite a lot of doom out in the world today. So it makes sense. Utterly foolish. But it makes sense.

No joke at all. Rowan Atkinson would have made an amazing full-time actor as Doctor Who. He's done amazingly well in the Big Finish audio dramas. There's so much there and so many classics to choose from. He and Colin Baker are especially well served with the audio format. Sylvester McCoy also...

Sean Connery. Roger Moore. Pierce Brosnan. Loved the franchise the best during the goofy days of Roger Moore.

"Your peer-reviewed studies are no better than anecdotes. My anecdotes are better than peer-reviewed studies." Okay, cool.

Limited to three? Man. That's hard but here goes. Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker, and Peter Capaldi. In no particular order.

Testing, especially high-stakes testing and standardized tests, are not great ways for students to actually learn the material. Have you ever studied for a test then forgotten the material within a few days or weeks? You're not alone. Making tests even more high stakes and more common is the...

I mean, yeah. “AI” is the future. Get on board or get left behind. /s

That notion will always be hilarious to me. It’s like someone claiming they’re a Michelin-starred chef because they ordered food at a Michelin-starred restaurant. “I told the waiter/program what I wanted and it was delivered, that means I made it.”

The chance of rolling with fear is about 45%. The suggested DC for 1st level characters is 11, given all PCs get one +2 stat that should go to their class’s main stat, that’s a 9+ on 2d12, which is about 80% chance to succeed. If someone’s rolling all failures or all fears, that’s mostly down to...

To be fair, wikipedia is a lot better source than many others because of how rigorous its standards are. The sun’s not hot unless you can cite primary sources. It’s got its problems, of course it does, but it’s far more reliable than any LLM.

They basically don’t count. The US might as well be a third-world country when it comes to how the working class is treated. The single largest category of theft in the US is wage theft, where your employer simply doesn’t pay you for various reasons, and it’s also the least likely to see any...

The stupidity is very real. It’s the intelligence that’s artificial.

I think my favorite oracle so far is the simple 1d6 and the yes, and ladder. Roll an extra die if there's dis/advantage. Don't need much beyond that. Or the Yes And system that was proposed and dropped for Adventure Time. 1d6 for success/failure and one of those nerdy-ass Fate dice for a...
