Good point, by Huron's untameable head-lice! This sounds to be an agreeable compromise.

By Thrazar's phasic lapels! By Huron's insufferable table manners! I never intended to start a debate over the *true* silliest RPG. Besides, I'm still right. Mascot-tan is too focused in scope, and actually seems to approach something resembling *balance*!

@trancejeremy Assuming that you were nominating Spawn for silliest game, I apologize, sir, but I must disagree, in light of the fact that Spawn of Fashan makes no allowance for mutant cyborg 'klengon' psychic cowboys who can shoot lasers from their eyes, defy gravity, and have 'edible...

Encounter Critical was a science fantasy RPG published in the late seventies on a school mimeograph, and playtested and illustrated entirely by the authors' gaming group. The only reason anybody remembers it is this post. This play report caused the game to be blogged about by Jeff Rients and...

This one time, I was playing an OD&D game with original monsters. A huge thing starts coming up out of the sand, and the entire party says "run away!" The DM asks if anyone wants to look back. I said "yeah, and I flip it off." Then he had me roll a saving throw, which I flubbed but had no...

128. Distance is measured in inches 129. Blacklights are banned during the game 130. Adopt the basic rules of Nomic 131. Jar Jar Binkses recieve a -10 to 'Avoid Stepping in it' checks 132. New first level spell: Warlock's wet t-shirt contest douse up to five targets in a substance such...

124. In a misguided attempt to pander to internet culture, WotC 'takes it to eleven' by replacing the d20 with the nonexistent d22.

112. New unique monsters include: Andrew Jackson, George Washington, John Quincy Adams, and Teddy Roosevelt. 113. New addition to the official pantheon: HURON, THE GOD OF BEING A VERY MIGHTY GOD. 114. Include starter adventures based on classic Superfriends episodes. 115. The d20 is...

I can see it on my profile, just not on my posts. Obviously, I'm logged in.

105. Playable races based on 'My Little Pony'. 106. There is the possibility of living past character creation, depending on how the dice fall. 107. Any character played by anybody who has had the alias/nickname/nomiker 'El Mahdi' applied to them will have cancer ;).

Okay, now it's even weirder. I says I have a pic up, and displays the pic when I'm on the 'edit profile picture' page, but it won't display it in the forums.

But if you make every encounter by hand, how can you run an adventure except by forcing the PCs to take a certain course of action? Do you just take a quick break to craft a new encounter when they go somewhere else? Why can't a random encounter fit into the events of the campaign? Why does...

It would be the most awesome thing ever if 5e included optional Classic Traveller-style chargen. It really is like a game in itself.

Dannager: What would you consider a well-crafted encounter? I don't really have any way of even subjectively comparing the two with the discussion so far as it is.

That actually sounds like a really good idea.

I never said religion. I think that heroes don't necessarily believe in any religion, they do what they do because it's right, or because they want to be remembered after death. There are firefighters who are only in it for the pay, and there isn't anything wrong with that, but it doesn't feel...

It was the profile picture.

The general assumption is that old-school gamers are entirely Gamist and Simulationist in the GNS typology, but I think that there is definitely something to be gained by injecting a bit of Narrativism into the game. Simulationism teaches that people like to believe the game, and that in order...

I go to 'edit profile picture', I click the 'browse' button next to 'upload from your computer', I click 'save changes', and nothing happens except that the field goes blank. I've made sure my picture is the right size and pixel count, I've tried .jpg and .png versions, but it still doesn't...
