    How do you handle jewelry and valuable art as a GM?

    A typical circlet is a pound or two. Fancy ones can be up to 6 lb; the coronation crown (St Edward's Crown) of england is about 4.9 lb (2.23kg). Queen Elisabeth's Imperial State Crown, when jeweled was 2.3 lb (1.03kg). The lighter end is about 1/4 lb of filigree wirework The Silver Crowns of...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Only works if players will use them. Too many won't. There's a reason I refuse to run every other or once a month again.

    Let's Talk About Short Campaigns

    It was 10 short sessions (~2 hours each)... had it been done FTF rather than VOIP, it would probably have been 5 sessions. It was never intended to run that long, but they wound up pursuing every sidetrack.

    Waterbird: you can dive and move naturally underwater; you do not start to drown for the first Strength minutes. You can sleep while floating on the surface, and in rain, without discomfort. That's a double but relatively minor benefit that Swans, Ducks, Geese, and Puffins all can pull off.

    "Open license" simply means that it's not specifically contracted with the licensee and is not charged for; anyone can use the license (become a licensee), for free, by adhering to the license texts and the reference texts. The DP CGL does that. As do the Wizards OGL, most of the CC licenses...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Hell, my own campaigns of that year. Traveller was a 5-6 hour session. Pendragon was 2-4 hours, depending upon when people showed up. Prime Directive was a potent 3-4... but some sessions of PD ran 5... My own over two year campaigns total 2: one was Pendragon - that very campaign. the other...

    It [mostly] isn't the present intent that's at issue... neither the WOGL nor the DPCGL are currently problematic... as in, expected to be abused by the companies issuing it. But we know that, every 8-10 years, HasBro is going to push for wizards to find some way to abolish the WOGL and capture...

    Do you remember your first RPG purchase?

    Oh, and I just recalled my third RPG related purchase: the TSR hexpaper book.

    Most averaged 3.5 hours per week; the one every-other-week in that list was 8 hours per session.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I don't think you understand. They had it listed as "in stock"... the email they then sent me showed that it was delayed until it arrives in their warehouse. They concealed that it was not yet in stock. Thanks, BAM, last purchase I'll ever make from you...

    Not really - if it's a single module/adventure. Again, not if it's just one adventure... When I ran Destroyer of Worlds (for Alien), it was one adventure. I don't normally game with that group. we didn't intend to continue past it. (and couldn't, really, either... only 1 PC made it out...). I...

    Do you remember your first RPG purchase?

    RuneQuest in the 1983 to 1992 timeframe was in fact simpler than D&D. That's RuneQuest 3rd ed timeframe. In the 2006-2012 timeframe, the Mongoose versions of RQ were out. Equally as simpler than current D&D at the time. Neither of those were tied tightly to Glorantha.

    3rd parties who are not lawyers and who start out with an apparent dislike of Darrington and CR... not a terribly reliable source of info, either. There really is no better method than hiring a lawyer specializing in IP to review it and brief you. Devon, Legal Eagle, is a bit busy with...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    TSR did them, too. One around 1991; I recall the average on the early 90's one was just over 2 years, but the median and mode were both about 1 year. (So a long right leg distribution.) WotC did several - one around the start of 4e dev, one around the start of 5e.
