    What Do YOU Call This Food?

    In the bag, that’s a walking taco, and the Boy Scouts in Montana also do them with Doritos a lot. In a tray, on a plate, chilli cheese Fritos.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’m gonna go with that assertion is one of those things you gift people with when there’s a few beers around and certain songs get played, cause I don’t think that came up here, but I love it. Also yes, naughty word lawsuit. And thank you again for Aphroditie’s Child, not heard of them before...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Some people just don’t want to have fun. And you just have to accept it and let them be.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Wait, you’re gonna dangle that out there and not say which songs by the Verve or Aphrodites Child? Jerk. Tell me, let me look it up. Also, Vangelis, like chariots of fire vangelis? Want to know more.

    What Game Has The Best Fiction

    I don’t have an answer, but only an opinion, that the best universe, the best supporting fiction is an ever expanding universe with rough edges where every new addition expands the known but adds more possibilities of the unknown. The most well drawn map, the most complete fiction, is a dead...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    That’s not necessarily uncommon, with a party of four facing a single enemy. I get dither enemies are common in many games, but one designed so everyone is stronger than you so encounters require coordination amongst the party to succeed, is that like crap game design? How is playing mooks...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    16 years ago I made a stupid comment on a you tube video. I was ignored and forgotten as I should have been…until yesterday, someone responded to it, my 16 yr old comment, and reminded me of what a loser I was that day.

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    Maybe that’s not how everyone runs funnels, but if you’re in my game, and all your guys died, absolutely, roll up four more, and they’re walking above the dungeon, and the floor collapses, and they fall into the room where everyone else is. Now roll to see which of those guys died before you...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    More deadly games are not necessarily more “difficult” than others when the failure is due to randomness, dice rolls. Rolling over a 15 on a d20 is not more difficult than over a 10, it’s just less likely. It’s on games, and GMs, with high failure rates to keep them fun, and provide a way to...

    Games as Story Machines

    Oh yeah, and for opening video, and my comment, it should be taken for ideas on how to build great stories, not how things should be.

    Games as Story Machines

    This was an old thread that got resurrected, I liked your expansive response, it doesn’t seem to have been engaged with, so I will. It doesn’t, but if you anthropomorphize the pieces, you can imagine quite a story with some imagination. Same here, a series of random encounters is meaningless...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    My last purchase was Fiasco which I’ve long wanted and got to fill up shopping cart for free shipping on a Black Friday board game purchase. My gaming group doesn’t yet know about it though and it hasn’t made it to the table. Since everyone here mostly cares about D&D my last purchase for that...

    DCC Level 0 Character Funnel is a Bad Concept

    Again that randomness is part of the fun. I have rollEd to determine who to hit target since almost always a one shot and random is part of the fun. doing the player layer first on who gets hit does seem less fun And more mean but gets same result, random killed. but I think it‘s been long...

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    Ok. I accept that I’m understood, and it’s generally understood that my plan doesn’t. I haven’t accepted that yet, but I’m sure I will eventually.

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    Yeah, I don’t think most people get what I’m going for esp. with the thoughts DnD can’t do this. My players tend toward, ”I’ll be an elf cleric cause it seems cool, tell me what they can do“. Where I’m trying to instead draw out what they want to do, whatever they want to do or look like will...

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    One. But does it matter? They are tasked with creating a concept, unlimited power not a concept.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much should it cost to use a permanent teleportation circle?

    Not much for cost, but then I also rewrote rules for my game. Perm circles only go to one other circle. Any number of other perm circles can lead to yours, like 30 one destination portals could lead to waterdeep. Need permission to set up a perm target. Receiving portal can have attendant...

    D&D 5E (2014) I want my players to ignore class in character creation

    I’m trying to get my players to create their next characters in ignorance of class abilities. My players will be starting their 3rd characters ever, so they’re not super informed on all the available options, which is good for a start. I’m trying to get them to imagine what their character...
