    Actually, I gather that being dead leaves you with quite a bit of time on your hands.

    What's the most fun you've had in a chase in a ttrpg?

    I ran a chase scene in my D20 Modern planetary adventure game a while back. The PCs chasing some bad guys who'd kidnapped the beautiful princess (Mila of Venus, with a brother called Milo). I used a system of my own invention where the players rolled opposing Pilot checks to see whether they...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    I think one problem is that players sometimes tend to think of a stand-in DM as "doesn't really count". It's a free pass to wreak some havoc. The cat's away and all that. This, coupled with the idea that "anyone who stands in my character's way is automatically evil and deserves to die" will...

    Comedy and comedians…

    I saw him live a few months ago. He was hilarious, but like you say, not very Grandma friendly. I've also seen Dara O'Briain's last two shows live. He's still one of my favourite comedians. Lately I've been watching lots of Kevin Bridges on YouTube. I think I've exhausted all the Danny Bhoy...

    D&D General What is the worst piece of DM advice people give that you see commonly spread?

    "You're doing it wrong, you should be doing it the only right way, by which I mean my way." And anyone who says the DM has to create an immersive experience for the players.

    Yeah, when the Terminator starts enforcing the "no politics or religion" rule, there aren't going to be many repeat offenders. I could actually live with that.

    Are there any rules about AI companies mining online information for training their software? Do they need permission?
