I'm literally quoting from the rulebook right next to me. Climb page 69 - DC 20 - A uneven surface with some narrow handholds and footholds, such as a typical wall in a dungeon or ruins. DC 25 - A rough surface, such as natural rock wall or a brick wall. A surface being wet adds +5 so that...

Except a lot of classes only got 2 skill points per level (and frequently the ones that wouldn't gain bonuses from a high Int). Standard DC for climbing a wall is 20, a rock cliff 25, with armour check penalties and the I don't think it was as fine as you make out. For Escape Artist, Manacles or...

No such thing as an optimal list, at least not one you could apply to every game or gamer. TWERPS has one attribute Strength that it uses for attack, hit points, and skill checks, and is a perfectly playable fun RPG experience. Call of Cthulhu has close to 60 on the character sheet, but with...

There was a very telling scene in the opening fight where she puts the gun under the guy's chin and pulls the trigger and he just dies.

It's like he left all that baggage for Tennant's Doctor to work out.

The singing wasn't nearly as irritating as I thought it would be.

Gotta say I've fine with either way and as a DM I've used both in the past, even in the same session. To call either method bad DM is a bit hyperbolic, we don't need to insult each other over a matter of style. A lot of games (outside D&D) have actual fixed target numbers linked to the...

Any player that thinks this doesn't understand good stories, for success to be fun, interesting or meaningful in a story there needs to be a certain amount failure before hand. Thankfully I've not come across people like this after pre-school.

We watched it recently as well. The early chase scene with Indy on a horse just had us laughing at the stupidity of the whole thing from then on. Still it wasn't Crystal Skull, so there is that.

Zack Snyder on his R-Rated Rebel Moon Director's Cut: "It’s not an ‘extended cut’ of this movie. It’s almost like a different movie." God I hope so.

Also minions are only ever minions compared to the players. Something that would have been a normal monster when they encountered it at 3rd level, could be a minion when they encounter it at 6th. If the players aren't fighting them it doesn't really matter what they are. Of course they are fine...

That's pretty much true of any RPG where chance is involved until the dice are rolled you don't know what you achieve, I'm not sure what you are saying is an aspect of 4E here. The mechanics just say the target is knocked prone, the flavour text in 4E is just one example of how that can occur...

I can't understand why Snyder keeps getting money he isn't a good director.

Anthony Hopkins as the robot was the best thing in it and I would have prefered to see much more of him, than any of the other recruits.

I remember playing 4E when they were battling on a bridge, in which the fighter used a power that was originally described as a "leg sweep", to cut the wings off a gargoyle and sending it plummeting to its death, as the mechanics were to make it prone. We had great fun adjusting the description...

I don't think I have ever met or even heard of someone objecting to a vault being locked, as being shut down. That's a pretty logical thing for a vault to be. Now if they attempted to research who made the vault, what flaws it might have, the nature of the wall and the mechanism and you...

Not forgetting in early D&D Fighters got one attack per level against creatures with less than one hit dice. They were effectively minions that fighters could wade through.

Ah so what you're saying is that 4E was actually a better implementation of Gray Gygax's vision for D&D. Always suspected as much.

These ones are harder to find (I don't have all of them), but are worth looking at (just maybe not £680+ worth looking at). 11. Leverage - because I hate you and want to search over inflated e-bay auctions, you can currently get it used on Amazon for £685.98. 12. Smallville - because you...

No particular order... every RPG collection should have 1. Pendragon 2. Some version of Traveller (although 2300 is better IMHO). 3. Some version of the cyberpunk genre. 4. Call of Cthulhu any edition but ideally 6th Edition 5. A Solo RPG, Ironsworn, Starforged or Star Trek Captains log for...
