Hiya! I have played stupid characters. Often to great fun and enjoyment. Playing the comic relief guy is a lot of fun sometimes! :) Likewise, I've played the "heroic idiot" who just does the right thing naturally and have become folk heroes to the commoner. There are stupid people in life...

Hiya! First, get away from the hard-coded percentages. That's just going to annoy you and your group. Just say "Hey guys, I'm gonna do a bit less 'long speaking'. You guys fill in the details", or something like that. Some nights you may only speak 20% of the time...others, 80%. The amount...

Hiya! I like "classical stereotypes". They let me more easily picture what I THINK a country is 'like'. That may or may not be realistic...but it doesn't matter. We're talking about a Fantasy setting where the King and Queen of England could be half-angelic Wizards with psychic powers and a...

Hiya! Lately, only my Players PC's (I don't get to "Play as a Player" much, which is ok...I prefer to DM) have families and histories. Then again, we play a lot of 1e/Hackmaster 4th, where your characters family and family friends/enemies/grudges is actually a part of the game and has mechanical...

Hiya! Ahh... if that's the case then, cool! Thanks for clearing it up. :) Doesn't change me waiting until the 24th though. ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Then I guess it depends on what one person's enjoyment and desire is then. :) Some people savour the taste of fine cognac...others just want to get a nice buzz on. ;) Personally I much prefer the binge watching. It keeps the little things in my head longer and lets me notice little...

Hiya! I guess Season 1 is only going to have 4 episodes? The first three are released, and the fourth on Dec 24...for some twisted reason. Guess I know what I'll be watching on Dec 24th then... all of Season 1. Binge Watching: It's the only REAL way to watch a series! ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! I'm gonna go with "I disagree" and leave it at that. I prefer b/w art for almost any RPG... subject matter is completely and utterly irrelevant. I care about a picture invoking MY imagination over the artists. Cover art, insert art, or specific 'iconic characters'...go colour. But...

Hiya! Sorry to hear about the "pause" due to getting sick. Hopefully they take it easy, recover, and come back stronger! :) As for Kaylmba... sounds pretty cool. I like the art...I don't like that they think "colour art" is a bonus; IMNSHO, they should leave it black and white. I like colour...

Hiya! There's a lot more on AP than I had realized when I first 'discovered' that I got Amazon Video for free with my Prime membership (...yeah...I'm slow sometimes!...). Just look on top for "Channels" and the "Categories" drop-down. For another $10 or so you get about a dozen TV networks...

Hiya! Well, at least the demise of online streaming will be quicker than that of cable TV, so there is that. ;) RE: Every production company and their dog is going to have their own 'special streaming platform' for the low low price of $10/mo that the average person will have to pay...

EDIT: I see Sacrosanct mentions and shows this already! :) Maybe just get some kind of simple graphic (like a yellow circle with a black ! mark in it) and just put that next to the particularly egregious entries in stead of using "CONTENT WARNING". Also, I wouldn't phrase it "..there may be...

Hiya! PHB. Plus some Homebrew stuff depending on what world we feel like playing in at that time. We have campaigns going (long hiatus... life and Cov-19) in Greyhawk, Genericka (homebrew) and Forgotten Realms (current online...'ish... holidays has that temporary hold for the next two months or...

Hiya! What the real question is, is: "How much fantasy is too much before the setting becomes to hard for a human player to recognize and react to"? Realism (coin size/weight, physics in space, physics on a 1G planet, etc) is important to the point where it gives a foundation for everyone to...

Hiya! Tradition in D&D is important to me because it recognizes and validates my experiences growing up playing the game since "day 4'ish" ;) . (I started in 1980). It gives me a feeling of "Yeah, I was there when that was new. I was a part of the beginning of this whole thing we call...

Hiya! Easiest, quickest, and best way to stop "power gaming" in D&D? Do what I've done on occasion (I think it was about 1985'ish when I first did this)... DM: "Stats? Just pick 'em. Whatever you feel fits your character concept, just don't go all Monty-Haul on me. Use your judgement". POOF...

Hiya! Er... Roll for Stats? I guess? We don't use Feats or Multiclassing and Rolling is the default. Congratulations! You just chose our exact game options...and, FYI, the Default of 5e: No Feats, No Multiclassing, 4d6-L for Stats. ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Perhaps a better wording would be: "Alignment has always been a description of peoples actions. Not necessarily their allegiances". ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! The problem was in trying to "take away stuff" rather than being stingy in the first place. ;) I'm known as a "Very Stingy DM". I'm not THAT stingy...my players just have a very odd habit of getting so wrapped up into the current narrative/situation/excitement, that when it's over their...

Hiya! Magic Item Saving Throws? Actually, they weren't just for magic items, tbh. They were also for mundane items; like seeing if a rope breaks if the PC' climbing it get Fireballed from a hiding orc sorcerer, or even just flaming oil poured down onto them from above. That said... I use them...
