This is, perhaps, the best description of old fashioned linear gaming I've ever seen. Not forced but always going in a single direction. This is also very similar to how parallel timelines are described in several Star Trek episodes. One might call it Schrodenger's RPG. You can both fight...

@Snarf Zagyg Your conclusions are crap and you should do things the way I do them!!!! (and if you are following your own advice you'll ignore that). Now for the serious part of my comment. All of your advice is wrong and right and like anything on the internet should be exacted with more than...

I'm not a singing hobo, I'm a stabbin' hobo...

There is an old quote by Gen Eisenhower that ended up as a series of quotes in the Laws of Murphy... The First Law of Combat: Never enter a battle without a proper plan of action. Murphy's Corollary of the First Law: No plan of action survives first contact. Comment on the corollary: Good...

whew, thanks. lol

I would say that while that constitutes sexism in the modern sense of the word, it works in the setting. And there are other options as casting runes WAS allowed. By the same token women were never allowed in raiding parties but were allowed to train with weapons for home defense. That would...

Wait.. then why have I been tracking my TPK's. I thought THAT was the way. I'm like level 30 now .. lmao

This is actually leftover from old war gaming rules where there WERE timers at the table. It's not bad advice...per se. But the time should be adjusted. If simeone take 20 minutes to decide if they want to attack or drink a potion, eh... yeah it's good to light a fire under their butt. But...

Again one of the reasons I liked Den if Thieves was that so many of the members of the guild weren't DIRECTLY involved in theft, per se. The fence used to quietly exchange and sell purloined goods. The mechanic that altered gear and provided locks for the members to practice on. The...

Thanks. I have always been led to believe that pemmican was just another form of jerky. That being said, the caloric intake would still need to be increased for a combat campaign so your amounts are a little low. Good stuff.

Good point, I assumed that this knowledge was upfront. But then that's my personal perspective, I wouldn't have thought of the, oh that's not allowed when it's put into practice angle. Thanks.

I live but to serve, sahib... lol

Brownie (thank you 2e MM2) Bogun Sprite Mystie Faun Boggle or Boogle or Bogel (all three for lore flavor) XX ling (where XX is any race, being or entity - literally small version of XX) Hope these help

Leadership in it's true form is a combination of things. Charisma, (ease of discussion, charm and candor), Wisdom (knowing both when to advise and when to naughty word the hell up), Intelligence (knowing What to say when you need to and how to utilize elements to the best of their abilities), Strength...

And honestly, isn't that the way it should be? LMAO. Also, I always used the 2e supplement Den of Thieves. It was probably the best written of the campaign style supplements of that era. Really gives you a lot to think about the Canting Crew activities in your cities.

Also, you don't have Padded/Quilted. For the poor peasant conscript, a hastily stitched multi-layered surcoat by the missus was better than nothing. For the noble, wearing an arming coat in the evening during times of strife is better than trying to don armor for a sudden attack. Both of...

(you'd be surprised what happens at some tables. lol)

Out of the Past, To save the Future One or more of the party is actually plucked out of the past to bring ancient knowledge into the future that has been forgotten or convoluted with time that is critical to stopping a coming threat. (This one has lots of possibilities and can be played as a...

So, I love DMing campaigns that focus on periods of time gone awry or fantasy/history as a background to gameplay. So if a DM said I have a campaign idea, but you can't play elves or mages or wombats in drag or whatever, is that a deal breaker or do you accept that the game can be fun within...

Or IOW. There are exceptions to every rule....including this one.
