I’m with you friend. I’m rooting for the “this thing makes me happy” people.

I like to start a campaign with PCs all from one race and location with a singular cause for those restrictions. With the intent that all subsequent PCs can be whatever anyone wants. Before I even get to finish explaining my expectations just about everyone has a reason why their character...

The internet is where opinions are born.

Just like the rest of us are tired of people with great experiences feel the rest of us must be doing it wrong. It’s all opinions.

I’m saying don’t find any of it confusing. It gets confusing when people “rules lawyer” any given situation to get the best result they want. I hope everyone finds the end result they are looking for.

This has been my experience for most things.

Isn’t there a chart? I’ve been playing since the 80s and never have I had to use math to get to the ability score modifier. You look it up when you build the character…you write it down….and then you apply it as needed. With all the new fangled internets you don’t even need to look it up…you...

I’ve never had any of these problems so I’ll take your word for it.

So there is no difference. It doesn’t matter to me either way. I’m just trying to figure out why it matters to some people. Is it really complicated for new players to get why a high number gets you a + and a low number gets you a - ? My goal is to understand the mindset without calling...

But where do the points come from? Isn't a modifier array the same as an ability score array? Isn't replacing the ability scores with modifiers just calling them different things? Regardless of what you call them or how you get them the end result is the same. X modifier. I'm honestly not...

Can't we just use the ability score to get the modifier and then...erase the ability score? Other than to get the modifier from it, what do we use the actual ability score for afterwards? This is one of many sentiments that I've never been able to understand. If i was the type to start a...

Yeah. Invisible means you can't be seen (by regular means)...hiding means you just haven't been seen yet.

Apparently it is true for some of us and we would thank you for not minimizing our experiences. Its fantastic that you have the greatest gaming experience ever with each and every group of players you have ever played with. But CLEARLY that is not the case for everyone who has, is and ever...

Thac0 was retired…the anti-Thac0nians won.

I didn’t give any advice in the previous post so here it is….take a break. Just don’t DM for a while. Someone else can give it a go. Suggest board games etc. to fill the void. When the players notice that they aren’t playing an RPG….have a serious conversation about why.

Players almost never care about the game as much as the DM. That’s just the cold hard truth. Even when you ask them what they want and then custom tailor to their suggestions….they still find ways to make you feel like you’ve wasted your time. I think this is why no one wants to DM. It’s...

I think using the invisible condition language will turn this into a 2500 post thread. I'll get the pop corn. 🍿;)

Great now I have to quantify silly. There’s always math!!!

It seemed silly to me more than difficult. We barely used rules at all back in the before times. But I don’t represent a side…just myself.

My mom won’t let me have a regular wolf; maybe now she’ll let me have a dire wolf!!!
