The CC license does not allow you to distribute things under a more restrictive license, and it doesn't like you to segment a work. Also, CC and the OGL require different methods to protect things like your trade dress. My suggestion is always to avoid shenanigans, unless you are backed into a...

If you have one special overpowered attack, what you do is shift it slightly toward damage while making it less accurate (unless it's an area of effect). You tack on some crazy modifiers, and pay for them with some flaws. For instance, you could make your Conflagration power both Distracting and...

A lot of player choices are somewhat diagetic, though. In Exalted, you learn new Charms. In Vampire, you improve quantifiable Disciplines. In D&D, the wizard learns fireball. PCs actually do know their capabilities in some important respects.

I have no real limit on how mechanically involved a game may be. My concern on "crunch" is mainly just speed of play.

You don't know how good you are until they start swinging.

Even if you did hand players the stat blocks for the monsters, the use of a d20 for resolution means they will have insufficient information to judge the outcome of any given battle. That's a lot of possibilities. The main reason you don't just hand over stat blocks to the players is to hide...

Just for kicks, I tried this, and not only was able to tap my screen, I was able to tap a couple of favorites on my browser.

Have you ever taken a survey where someone asked you to rate something on a scale from 1 to 10?

Various "clarifications" to the contrary, just about anywhere else it matters, weapon damage is the damage you do with your weapon, not just some special dice. The rules don't define base weapon dice. And from a balance standpoint, both great weapon style and Savage Attacker are basically traps...

It's very easy to demonize people of a criminal background, yet people don't question "heroes" that come from backgrounds who are easily as responsible for as much suffering and death. The line between "knight" and "bandit" is mainly one of pedigree; both are militants who extract wealth from...

I can definitely see something floating over your head.

So how come the description isn't accurate enough to rate this enemy on a scale of 1 to 20, with 1 being your neighbor that grunts when he picks up the newspaper, and 20 being maybe Batman? If the game is PbtA, do you really think someone's skill can't be guesstimated with that granularity?

You haven't refuted me, you just admitted you don't have the expertise to judge my claim.

If I had to pull a date out of my hat, I'd say by 2002 there were not many fantasy artists who were working entirely trad. By the late 1990s, Wacoms, and notably, used ones, were widely available to non-professional artists.

So this is the reality you are bringing to the game? I'm not allowed to know bonuses or numbers, and you also are going to refuse to tell me if someone seems like a good fighter? What exactly is my role in this game?

Maybe I missed it, but what is the source of your expertise on combat sports?

Yes.

I've done plenty of combat sports and boffer stuff, and it takes about 0.3 seconds to figure out if your opponent's footwork is any good.

So who decides how much ignorance?

This, but actually, the opposite of this. This is a sai. This is a jitte. The sai is cylindrical or octagonal dagger. It is not a "parrying baton." The jitte is a parrying baton. There is some convergence in design between the two in some examples, but the sai is generally used to stab, and the...
