There's a lot of spam getting through. I'm sure you're aware. A bunch of eastern characters. Couldn't tell you if it's chinese, japanese, korean... I don't know if you have an easy way to use sms authentication or at least make new users wait until after being verified to post something. Just...

Actually, what you posted above this answered my question.

What might you do if hypothetically you were designing a new RPG to have a wider range of results, with higher highs and lower lows? How might you make the characters start out flawed and [semi/demi]human? How could heroes in this pretend RPG advance to high ranks and eventually into legend? And...

Sounds like it's a good essay then... :ROFLMAO::cool:

I don't remember that but it's been a small eternity for me. I haven't played Rifts since 2000, and haven't DM'd it since the early 90s.

Right--Good suggestion. Willkommen im Internet! 😬☣️

Am I correct in understanding that you dislike a turn based TTRPG? I am curious to know what alternatives there would be.

Out of curiosity, does no one have anything to add, don't feel like you have enough knowledge on the subject, or is it just a TLDR? 😊

I'm not sure I know what that means....

Mdc was 1:100, but nothing but an mdc weapon could penetrate and damage mdc. They may have changed the particulars for 2nd edition.... Haven't been privvy to that scene for a long time.

I can't speak for everybody but for me, this is the kind of stuff that I like my players to be doing. Better yet, cast creatively, as opposed to just stacking a bunch of buffs. Cast reduce on a bolder and slingshot it into an anti-magic field. Cast light on the front of a shield and blind your...

Who other than literally everyone probably hates RPG puzzles? I like them, because I like to have some aspect of player challenge, but not something that's too hard to solve. I know, the puzzles should be solved by the characters, not the players, which is what I strive for. Puzzles and brain...

I am a professor of art and art history teaching primarily students of the millennial age or gen z. I've worked with many many such students, for long enough now that my first students are in their 30s and married with children. After doing this for a decade and a half, I have concluded that...

When most commentators bring up the part of the policy that says others aren't allowed to use animations, I don't think said commentators are really concerned about whether it is or is not legal or enforceable. I think such commentators are expressing disgust at the audacity and the arrogance...

This is the second part of an exploration I wrote a while back on the Hero's Journey as it relates to RPG's. This was prompted in part by a recent video posted by Heath's Geekverse on the same subject. Here is a link to the first post. Here is a brief TL;DR summary: The hero's journey...

(I agree with Owen btw)

Oh and there's also such a thing as DM's bitching about players who are just doing a good job of applying their characters' abilities effectively. This illuminates an adversarial mindset among those DM's, and is problematic in a cooperative game. This is another facet to the discussion, is the...

Wrong scene.

Oh, it was always the same with official (A)D&D software: dungeon Master's assistant in the 1980s, Core Rules in the 1990s, and the Cd rom you mentioned. Only the fan made software was ever supported worth a damn, and if it got too popular TSR would slap em with a C&D.
