    D&D 5E (2014) Alignment working as intended in 5e

    She's Lawful WHATEVER I SAY I AM BRAINWASHED MINION. Most likely, Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil, what with the ole' 'robbing folks of their freedom to choose' and all.

    Judgement calls vs "railroading"

    Totally agree - we're trying to assign definitions to subjective experiences and wondering why others may not value such terms in the same way. The discussion seems to require us to accept a particular given definition of the term 'railroading'; a particular style of play and various terms...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give me your craziest, most GONZO PC concepts!

    My current character, which will move aside for my Mastermind Heister, is a sky pirate steam-punk man-machine werewolf, who exists as a mechanised engine of death, powered by a mechnomagical furnace and who lives to loot, pillage and hurl blasts of flame at anyone, anything, anytime. He is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    Come now, you're missing the point of this thread! Here we discuss a question regarding D&D, expressed through terms whose meaning/s can exist in a number of states, depending on the poster, context and their experience of a game system that can produce a vast number of permutations of play...

    D&D 5E (2014) class mastery

    Give it a go. Grab some bodies, let them make character as you outline - probably around 6th - and run a one-shot. If you do, please let folks know how it went. And if you have fun? Well, even better.

    Judgement calls vs "railroading"

    To be fair, we're talking about a system document that was authored 30+ years ago. And it does a fine job in providing a style of play that has resulted in fun for many! As long as we recognise the character of fun provided and the limits of said system all is well. Then those that wish are...

    Judgement calls vs "railroading"

    That's one way to do it and a quality of the system you've described. The great thing about D&D and pen & paper RPGs in general is they really make great case for rapid prototyping in game design.

    Judgement calls vs "railroading"

    Not sure what you mean, by 'matters'. Does the system influence how things can be reolved? Sure. Can the system's representation of certain concept - damage, a skill, combat influence play. Of course! To the extent that we give it - and for a given value of 'matters'. And we are given free...

    Viral Charm Person - it spreads from person to person, leaving whole groups in a writhing sweaty mess. Typically the result of using love philters and other mind-controlling/influencing concoctions that have spoilt due to age.
