Not even this site: The obvious response is more insulting than I care to be, so I'll just let what you said like there like a turn on the sidewalk.

Apparently there were enough people finding alternative lubricants that the rules now specify that graphite is the only permissible one.

Yeah, I'm happy the players are playing well--I actually plan and run in the expectation they will--but it's always a little bummer when something has the excitement and tension pulled out of it prematurely.

And because things are asymmetrical, it's much less of a "fun in play" problem if a monster loses a turn or three--the GM will still have things to do, and will still be playing. This isn't an argument so much as an expansion on your point/s. (Yes, some GMs sometimes get frustrated when their...

Short hop? It's barely a big step. :LOL:

I think the context will matter for both losing a turn and losing a character, as far as whether it's interesting or suck.

I don't disagree that the badness of turn loss is being overemphasized, but as you seem to recognize it does suck--especially if it's recurring or extended, and (practically) unavoidable.

"No, your character's dying words may not be Hastur, Hastur, Hastur!."

Frickin' Derek.

It's not as bad as dying, but getting shut down with a save you literally can't make does suck. The idea of the save/s getting easier isn't bad, but if there's an expectation of symmetry at the table then that's going to nerf some things the PCs will (or at least might) want to do, as well...

We own, but haven't gotten around to playing, Jaws of the Lion. When I looked through it, it seemed as though it would be a superb introduction to what Gloomhaven and Frosthaven are doing.

It's a stout--usually an imperial stout--brewed with adjuncts intended to evoke the taste of pastry. Chocolate cake (Mexican cake was a thing for a while) is common, I've seen gingerbread and carrot cake and cookies. I dunno if pastry stout's the trend it was a couple-few years ago, but I see it...

The most-local to me brewery (that I know of) at least has a variety, things like a hefeweizen and some non-imperial, non-pastry darker beers, in addition to a (I'm serious, here) variety of IPAs and other hops-focused beers. Any brewery that makes a beer called "Barleywine Is Beer" is one I'm...

Or yet another hazy IPA, or maybe a pastry stout. (There are good examples of both, but there really are other styles of beer I'd love to see brewers make, as well.)

It's not wildly different. There were brewers making delicious, wildly hoppy beers; and there were brewers making unbalanced messes.

Unrelated to the above: That's probably one of the most-incorrect things I've seen someone say about this hobby in some time.

We kinda bashed our way through learning Gloomhaven, which made learning Frosthaven kinda an iterative thing. The fact we mostly play co-op games--stuff like Pandemic or Eldritch Horror--and TRPGs means we're used to handling edge-cases that come up. Usually, we have someone (or some ones) read...

I figured it was just because he was a bard.

You're a TRPGer, just roll some dice.
