    Time for another edition of, EN World pineapple thread decides! Local friend of mine and I have a friendly competition to make videos to hype our Battletech convention in Minneapolis in December. Here are our submissions for 30-ish second ads; Taurians are a periphery state. Their people often...

    RPG Buzzwords that have effectively lost their meaning due to poor over-use

    Have we reached the point the word jargon itself is no longer meaningful?

    RPG Buzzwords that have effectively lost their meaning due to poor over-use

    I think the problem I have with that is I dont want to reinvent the wheel everytime im having a discussion. What folks are really running into is two fold. Either the writer doesn't provide the appropriate context, or the reader refuses/confuses the context. Reader and/or writer use a term to a...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Honestly, this was set by the OG crew. Kirk and team were always breaking rank and storming off to do whatever they want.

    Break Canon: New Adventures in Known Universes

    Not typically my thing but doing a Star Wars sequel canon break is something I’d have fun with. Nobody would join me though as I like FFG gensys above other SW systems.

    POKER FACE (Peacock)

    I've really enjoyed about the 4-5 episodes ive seen. Problem with this type of show is I tend to tire of the formula and lose interest. Though, the heavy metal band episode was a blast.

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    I cant see any replies anymore, but yes, space combat is not to be entered lightly. Also, no single pilot check is going to be the end all of the encounter. You have gunner in a turret, engineer working the power, comms specialist working the sensors, captain leading the team... etc. Though, I...

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    Give me a break. Its akin to saying you need an 18 in primary stat for 5E. Yes, thats going to make you better from a probability stand point, but the game can function just fine with a 16 or even a 14 in primary. Especially, if that game focuses on exploration and social over the combat pillar.

    Pathfinder 2E Challenge and XP are overstated

    4th level monster is that a moderate challenge? I think we experienced a better challenge when solos were extreme or severe rated.

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    Yes, exactly competent is relative. You are having "lot of space combat" so obviously you want higher pilot skill. Telling folks that 3 is baseline an 1 is copilot only is not the baseline of the game; just yours.

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    Some dodge and thrust bonus, dog fighting (if you even ever get to it), and hostile docking. I mean, I guess its been incredibly rare in my games. 🤷‍♂️ I will admit I dont really run military focused games, and if I did, then yeah id expect better pilots. For a band of Travellers going...

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    I think that piloting is relative to what is available to the Travellers. I think pilot 1 is totally serviceable in Traveller. Unless, of course, you make the Traveller roll hundreds of piloting skills for mundane things like docking and navigating asteroids in routine situations.

    Maps From Adventures

    I tried having the players map to my descriptions and... Well, I know a lot of folks delegate work out to the players like taking notes, drawing maps, running initiative, etc.. Every attempt by me to do that slowed the game to a crawl and I had to retake the task because I was about to lose my...
