Did a bot pickup on this being a thread about movies and ask a generic question that would have passed muster in most threads about movies? A glance at the other posts of this new user suggests their answers never quite line up with the subjects of the threads so much as just pick up on a...

Your mind seems made up.

They are the now. They've been the now for a while. A lot of folks spend next to no time at all with a tower computer or even a laptop except maybe for work.

A lot of these arguments arise because of the conflation of low-magic with magic-rare games and settings. The D&D system can be used fairly well for low-magic campaigns (where only low-level magic effects are available but might be available to everyone and only PCs might rise to higher level...

It's a cross you and I bear, BryonD, when we're not being idiots. As for the glut, I hope some of the more well-informed folks will help me clear out some of my virtual warehouse space in the tail end of this year's GM's Day sale while some of the items are just One Dollar (a few at half off)...

I won't have time to see GoE until next week but I want to see it for sure.

£1 per word.

Not the only one. :) Henchmen and hirelings always underwent a series of rolls when first met and during the trials of dungeon exploration or far out in the wilds. Sometimes being a turncoat to save one's neck when outnumbered by bandits is the only way to ensure the next group of PCs had...

I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it isn't advised or the expected norm when it is being designed. And you seem to be a fairly experienced DM from what I've read in your posts. :)

Are the PF APs you have run written in such a way that you know all you need to know before running part one?

I fully understood your position before and still totally disagree with it now. It's the crux of everything I have posted in this thread and the very first point I made, i.e. that there are misconceptions regarding what modules and adventures were meant to be and what they have become and how...

Yeah, but from your description, it is way at the other end of the sliding scale away from being a sandbox. Too often I see folks describe a supplement (module / adventure) with just a handful of sandbox elements and calling it such. I'm guessing such folks have never seen an actual sandbox or...

The old ones can be bought on the secondary market singly or in bunches at quite reasonable prices. I know a game store that has piles of them at the front of the store in various states of condition for a buck or two a piece. Unless you've had them all and have run every adventure in them...

These ideas are at odds with one another. What you're describing is not a sandbox. If all roads lead to Rome, no matter the choices of the PCs, it is not a sandbox. You've typed out all of the clues that it isn't a sandbox: "various events that are going to happen," "end up on their quest,"...

I think there are a few misconceptions being glossed over in this thread that might have folks thinking they are disagreeing or agreeing with one another when they may not be. Not that it is all that important. Anyway, much of what was originally called a "module" was literally a modular...

heh I hear ya. I get more of them on the free Cooperative Dungeons than anything else but fortunately not too many pot shots from "adoring fans." I sometimes wonder if some older products should be retired lest someone think everything is at that level of production value but it's hard to...

I get an email notification when one of the products I have on OBS sites gets a rating or a review.
