Alright, Ovinomancer, please issue a ruling: Should I evaluate Hriston's assertion only according to its literal content? Or does context change the value of its content? Is it true... from a certain point of view? That is, the point of view, which equates Hriston with nobody? Archaic...

Of course, you should capture it; "that belongs in a museum". You'll have to use AD&D rules on subdual. You might even resort to AD&D rules on morale checks and/or grappling. It's a horror monster; and those rules do Sanity damage, direct to the players. Actually, you should *start* by luring...

Have you played my new TRPG, "Floor Waxes & Dessert Toppings"? Further dilemmas: Is light primarily a particulate endeavor? 👋

You do a Disco Poke, with exactly enough accuracy to hit AC 13. Duh. https://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/19-disco-moves-that-could-beat-someone-up

"With all those idiots and maniacs on the road, it's a wonder we get anywhere at all!" - George Carlin It's a wonder; and it's humans actively working with each other, in speech just as on the freeways. It's possible for people to work with each other during less-conversational communication...

Some commenters have raised analogies to summarized information about cars and houses. People generally buy one car at a time, out of many options, and one house at a time, out of several or many options. So is this proposed system also meant to inform purchase choices? A system for comparing...

I've played Fiasco once, at a convention. No fight scenes, no chase scenes. Conflict, but at other levels. I suspect that we actually *could* use the Fiasco rules set for a fun session about rival venture capitalists (some of us cutting more corners than others). IMO a game of plants competing...

IMO there are fine lines on some axes, and wide gaps on other axes. I've enjoyed sparring, which is a form of violence, though intentionally and drastically limited violence; we were trying to *hit* each other, just not for significant damage. It was fun happy combat. It was different from...

Or interpretive dance. Or pictures drawn with crayons. That's also a viable option. Unfortunately, the scene in "Hush" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which the gang play D&D, with Giles as DM, was cut from the broadcast.

Well, we're fortunate that no one *here* is attention seeking. Gosh, that would sure be awful; if someone made himself the focus of this thread, that could distract us from thinking about those players in Rolfe's game, and how UK Expo 2019 shifted their experience of TRPG, and whether that's an...

Hints and innuendos. He's just *wondering* what's going on. What's wrong with wondering? How could anyone object to his curiosity? Open minds, right? He didn't say that THOSE adults were engaged in manipulation. He's aware, of course, that some people have used tears for manipulation. "People...

That is indeed a valid point. I don't see all posts, because of blocking; so the numbering in MY browser view, is not the same as the numbering in yours. The full, unblocked count is the more universal and appropriate reference for directing a participant back to a previous post. I cannot blame...

You say that, as if a player being told their character had been repeatedly raped while unconscious, and was about to be raped again, or murdered, or both, was an event which could not possibly affect THAT PLAYER's life in the hobby forever. I can imagine a real-life rape survivor, playing in...

Gradine, you were a participant in a thread in the last year or two, in which the OP proposed Native Americans showing up on the European coast, in Trans-Atlantic sailing ships, with guns, and with the intent to invade Europe. Some of us raised some concerns about the implications of a scenario...

This is the first time I've ever been publicly compared to the Panama Canal. In private, well... that was private. Meanwhile, if BRG can skim post #213, without seeing anything about rape, then he's got a blind spot. I can bring him water, but I can't make him drink. I also can't persuade...

Orc and Pie, but without the orc and the pie? Have players write Level 20 5E D&D characters, give them a mission briefing, have an NPC wizard send them to the Meta-Astral... which is uninhabited; and see how far they go, before they realize that the sandbox only contains sand (and the hazards...

Go to the zoo. The kangaroos are your players. If they don't notice that you are DMing a game for them, then you win!

Have you considered writing the Cookie Clicker TRPG, if you can swing the licensing? Or perhaps Progress Quest? GURPS: Tic Tac Toe?
