    Add some brown in the wash, it’ll look great!

    WOIN EONS #186. D10 Dice System

    But... it's less dice. I don't get it.

    Whirlwind Attack and 5-foot step

    Oh, this thread has the icon that I’ve posted in it. The title doesn’t look familiar, though... <click>

    D&D General Lamest D&D classes all time

    I chose Fighting Man just because of the name: 1. It's just so... dull. 2. I know they were all dudes back in the day, but this is fantasy, can't we have some warrior women? EDIT: Obligatory Bard Meme:

    D&D General Donating the Loot

    Well, a couple weeks ago we killed someone we were supposed to rescue, then had him raised, and gave him some (but not all) of his belongings back. I think that counts as charity in D&D.

    How to tell the good/bad guys apart: look who's using Apple phones

    OK, so Rian Johnson is the one person to make an actual whodunnit in the last decade. But if he can't make a movie without kowtowing to advertisers, well, I guess that explains why anything interesting is coming from Netflix these days.

    How to tell the good/bad guys apart: look who's using Apple phones

    Oh come on, when was the last time you didn't know who the bad guy was supposed to be?

    D&D General Poll: Have You Lost a Character to Ghouls.

    Not me, but a couple of party-mates. None of them came back undead, sadly. Savage Worlds / Shadowrun campaign: Ghouls were throwing grenades at us. A PC tried to throw one back but it blew up in his hand. We had to flee, leaving his body behind. Does that count? Pathfinder 1: A PC was killed...

    dog's bones 2020 -- 12/31 Gargantuan Green Dragon

    Spray primer does tend to come out a bit grainy when you're not going for full coverage. An airbrush will give a smoother result but that's another level of commitment (I haven't yet taken that step myself).

    Character background stories- what are the most common tropes that appear?

    That's pretty close to one of my characters. He was a magic nerd (learned dispel magic at 5th level because fireball is boring) but was tired of studying so he left university to see the world. As for "everyone in my family is dead", my DMs just declare them to be alive after all, or invent new...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you thrown 88 opponents at your party?

    It’s also a double-lucky number in China. But I’m betting on the Crazy 88.

    [wargame] Gasland Refuelled

    I bought a batch of cheap cars to mod & paint just because Gaslands is cool. I'll probably never actually use them in a game. :D

    Is it always like this?

    ("Again"? Have you & I argued about this before?) Last night, a PC in our party was mauled by giants and a dragon until he was unconscious and dying, he fell from a height that would kill anyone (but took no further damage), then he was magically revived, got hit in the face by the dragon's...

    Is it always like this?

    I guess I'll find out how that works out. :) I feel just the opposite about this. In D&D, a character can take a bunch of sword hits that should turn them into butcher's scraps, walk away, and be healed in a few seconds. In most sci-fi games I've played, guns can kill in one or two shots and...

    Is it always like this?

    I found that while pondering how things "should" work, I have come up with a couple of details that will end up being challenges for the players to overcome. So at least some of that effort was not wasted. :)

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    “Have you hit him yet?” “No, I only bit him.” “That’s not hitting, that’s just tasting.” Also, my druid made friends with some bears. So, a good session.

    What will be your next campaign?

    Our next campaign will be Fallout, using a beta version of the rules from Modiphius. After that, I hope to run my first campaign ever - The Starlost 😰

    WOIN Defense Cap

    In that case it's confusing the way it's written, because the sentence about limiting to 4 times MDP is at the very end, in the same paragraph as the minimum limit of 10, and it doesn't seem related to the average dice roll calculation which was done earlier.

    WOIN Defense Cap

    It's confusing because there are two separate caps. First you make a dice pool, which is subject to the normal cap for dice pools, then you convert the dice pool to a static number, then adjust for size, shield, armour, and finally that result is capped by 4 times max dice pool. That last part...
