Well even in the c8cs The Avengers don't do street level problems. Individual hero's might but the Avengers stay out of the local scene's. It would be nice to see she hulk or any of the other heros that regularly frequent new York though. Though I suspect all these crooked cops with punisher...

This is the way I feel about it. I think the Idea of balance is dieing a slow death like a fish on the beach. It seemed like such a good idea but in play meh.

or let them spend their money on social things, buy a title of nobility, Marry a poor man/woman with a title and no money and then spend the money building out thier power base, I've had characters build orphanage's, churches, or just flat out donate magic items to the local guard to build...

me too, but 3rd edition is such an unwieldy nightmare once you pass 8th level or so. Not sure there's a way to fix that and still have decent options though.

fair my apologies for saying it that way. The characters are playing to be heroes. Looking for food isn't heroic or fun at least for me or most players I"ve had since I started running games long ago. Never got anything but whining or pushback when I ran those kinds of games. Not once has...

Problem is that it is a great idea to build out specialty mages and potentially make being a generalist harder but since they've never solved the fact that some specialties suck due to the game being primarily combat focused it will simply lean even harder into all mages going into a few...

(5e) High level. guidance for DM's on things to do with treasure rules for player advancement in the world at large not just in thier classes. Guidance for new DM's on anything. Guidance specifically in campaign settings say Forgotten Realms as an example of types of consequences for players...

and at some point they get bags of holding or portable holes. DND isn't really a game for worrying about survival resources.

never said they did. I just don't like dealing with people finding food in my games. I don't have pet squirrels I have players trying to be the heroes. Nothing about that is fun on any level for me. I know a lot of people like those little mini-games within the game. They just annoy me...

no you are on to something with the satanic panic. It slowly turned into the never ending attack of the Southern Baptist church down here in the south and midwest. That lasted til sometime in the mid 90's. That and it was a fairly niche product up until 4e and 5e. Retailers in the wrong...

Well I don't care to run games where people are starving and looking for food so I honestly don't care about that stuff, so I guess if you run those kinds of games it's an issue but I can't imagine it being any fun after 3rd level scrounging for scraps to survive.

I never saw it as much more powerful than medium healing or potions. Hate of that spell always confused me

No that confrontation explained nothing, took the story nowhere and left the entire thread in the air hanging like the others. Your flippant explanations were never explained in the books. Perhaps for you such simple make it up in your own mind and move along works, but there are dozens of...

Only if the dm lets them do it. How is that different than melee killing the king and claiming the kingdom. If DM lets hijinxes insue then no rule is going to limit them or make it better magic or no magic. You are arguing rules to stop a game style.

Well 3.5 players (which Pathfinder I include) Are a shrinking group 3.5 and I've played it for years and dm'd it, is an unwieldy beast. Doesn't mean you can't do great things with it but 5e is just easier, less fodder for rules lawyers and min maxers. . I dont think you'll see anything like...

Not if the consequences are bad enough they have to worry about them. And in the god of war example it might be the party Melee that have to shine when the Caster gets screwed out of magic till the God of Wars curse is lifted. They aren't Consequences if they aren't appropriate for what was...

Yeah, I liked Shannara In spite of its issues. Rings makes it look like a Masterpiece. The Seeker as well for that matter.

Tons of stuff that happen in the books never pay off. Eugene travels to alternate realities via the dream. The people behind the doors that take mat's memories but we never find out why. The whole story arc of Mat seemingly heading towards a great destiny of perhaps cleansing the SeanChean...

I'm only addressing rings of power. I think they screwed themselves with some of the liberties they took with the story. You don't pull stuff out of lost tales and the silmarillion to grab the geeks then mangle it. Like sauron not being captured and imprisoned by Numenor. The wonderful story...

The actor died in December 2023 so it was filmed awhile back. So who knows?
