So get 20 people together and try to nail down what romance is......then you'll begin to understand why it will never be fully fleshed out in rules

Anything, with the caveat that the bigger the effect the bigger the consequences.

And I think this guy is dead on on why in some ways the story falls a little flat.

No spoilers but it seems to have captured the spirit of "la Miserables" the book. And that's not a good thing for a super hero movie.

oops

exactly one hundred years from anywhere. After spending one hundred years traveling till he finds a portal to wherever you want him to go, Then roll or select 1d3 flaws from the insanity spell table and tell them to play them as part of thier character. time passes for the character but...

I'll point out to players that the dice don't seem to be random. If they want we can do an extended test. Luckily I play with a set of friends these days and my rules lawyer who is as hard on herself as anyone would catch it before I would and they'd just change dice. True story I had a...

And if it were that effective a cabal of evil mages would after being shown how it works do it times 10 and overrun the world. I love the Dispel magic thing, with the simalcrum having to stay within 5 ft that's a very nifty solution. Good Catch. It's like a line of magical domino's...

I'm more likely to buy supplements that have some cool idea I haven't seen or a module that I like that could be incorporated into a current game. Especially when the world take's all my prep time. I think WOTC misses the mark by not having a virtual gaming store where thier stuff is for sale...

Honestly since the simalcra are simply illusions of snow and ice given partial reality and not real beings, if a mage in my game did that, I'd rule that having the simalcra cast wish to let an illusion of themselves break the rules of magic would require the mage to roll the wish roll for...

I'd love to see Larry Niven's Footfall done as a one or two season series on netflix. Aliens with superior technology but lower numbers land on the earth and start taking it over because they've had to flee thier planet and come to take ours. The book does a great job early on making you see...

oh yes that would be awesome. I haven't thought about those books in years. Would be an awesome Gamma World setting as well.

and yet it works. I'd argue the bad design of DND at high level pretty much makes either giving the martials powers the books don't have or giving out magic items to fill the gap necessary. Note there is almost no difference between the two different options mechanically except magic items...

I do it all the time. works fine. has never unbalanced my games. This is only a problem in magic item light games where the DM is trying to control everything or play a magic is rare game. In that case yep you have to figure it out yourself. any other situation it works fine.

Just like in anything else you do in life? Enough Drama already. It's how GM's learn even at lower levels. Sure at lower levels you've got more guidance but that doesn't help when your table doesn't like what you do. Doesn't help when you want to do something not standard or the players go...

Right but sales matter to the company based on who buys what. How it compares to other hobbies is meaningless.

And yet most players I've played with over the years buy a players handbook use the DM's stuff and maybe dice and a cool dice box or a dice tower. . Inexpensive is subjective and doesn't really have anything to do with what people will spend on the game. Some of us have many thousands of...

My point has always been on this topic old people generally have more disposable income and are therefore more important to companies that sell stuff including all the gaming companies. As we are talking old people in the gaming hobby I disagree on your assessment of the relevance of the...

people who have more disposable income spend more of it on hobbies. I think we can at least agree on that. I remember spending 6 months saving for my first players handbook. I don't wait for stuff like that now if I want it for my hobby be it figures, maps, books etc I just go buy it. I...

the white whales who have the money. The argument that middle aged and older gamers who have more disposable income has been part of the whole thread. Proven it's them no. weight of proof I'd think would be on proving the young people who are most likely to have less money are the ones who...
