    From the commentary on Night of the Vampire. The results were sometimes hilarious. Baker recounts that for Night of the Vampire, he wrote a scene where the PCs captured some assassins and threatened them. Where Baker suggested the PCs say "Tell us who hired you, or we’ll put your head on a...

    Necessity of a Social Negotiation System? – When Should It Be Relevant?

    It’s a matter of taste for when to use them as opposed to gm fiat or roleplayed out. I prefer them for offscreen downtime activities or a quick roll after role play or second person describing an intention and approach when it can go multiple directions. I prefer roleplayed out in general...

    "I think Hydrogen is a rare element" and other science facts.

    Undead are made in many ways. Onyx gems are only needed for certain specific necromancy spells as one method to create a few types of undead. Self replicating undead and death circumstances are usually way more common for things other than a necromancer's skeleton and zombie servants and even...

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    I always disliked being told what I felt or did. I prefer just being told what I see. That has always been my biggest issue with read aloud text.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    I feel the short descriptions of alignments in the 3e and 3.5 SRDs is the better take.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    I always felt the Palladium alignments were too specific. They can be fine for a specific individual's code or outlook, but IMO are poor for trying to fit a lot of concepts.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    I think there are two general positive views on 4e and 5e alignment taking out most alignment mechanics but having alignment for PCs and monsters. One is having a dislike of alignment and so the huge downplaying of it is preferable to having alignment mechanics for classes and spells and...

    They are very nice looking floor plans, the giant skull is just a very striking and non-generically applicable detail that would demand investigation as a player.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    It sounds like your pain point is neutrality in which case 4e is perfect for you, it even turns neutral into don't really care unaligned. I and others have no problem seeing LE as different from CE and NG as different from CG or LG and the two axis nine point grid makes sense. Taking devils...
