    Wanting players to take in-game religion more seriously

    In today's time with factual evidence to back up events there are still people who doubt the trips to the moon, who doubt any ship or probe we have ever sent into space is real, who doubt the holocaust,who doubt 9/11, who doubt evolution or vaccines or any number of vast other events. I have no...

    I need a great role playing game that is played in short bursts.

    My son is in the navy and loves rpg's. He and his wife want to play a game with me over Google hangouts or something else. We have tried several times to play 5E and it works fine but.....his play times are very irregular and it might be weeks or months before we can play again. we might get two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need advice on how to rationalize terms of surrender to a beholder...

    Yes I would have had him accept it. Then once the dangerous and deadly adventurers were away and unaware. Like at night in a Inn room or having a party. I would have had the beholders human slaves/servants/minions drug them and capture them. They awaken without there gear and bound together...

    Wanting players to take in-game religion more seriously

    I like using the stick instead of the carrot with Gods. Smite early and smite often. My gods are fickle and like mankind full of hubris and ego. Mock them at your peril. Everything I ever read in legends about the Gods from out world(I'm not talking modern day religions here but ANCIENT Roman...

    D&D 5E (2014) One of the biggest problems with WoTC's vision of published adventures

    I want a third party to come along and release a OLD School optional rule set and adventures for it. Slow leveling and tons of small adventures where you might gain a level maybe but two would be having to kill everything and a little unrealistic. 5E was supposed to bring different styles of...

    Queer As A Three-Sided Die: Round Table From GaymerX3

    I agree with this statement 100%. I just think the vast majority of people are good and decent people. Once again it's the ones who are not that always seem the loudest and the ones everyone(media) focus on. Also the world is a very HUGE place and now we are all connected like never before...

    Queer As A Three-Sided Die: Round Table From GaymerX3

    Your viewpoint is one that I often encounter from well-meaning people. I hope it is said with the best meaning intentions unfortunately sometimes it is not. See often I am told by complete strangers that something is wrong with me. I must be at least a little bit racist or sexist or homophobic...

    Queer As A Three-Sided Die: Round Table From GaymerX3

    Sure. We have all kinds of relationships in the game world, pretty much if it's in the real world it's in the game and all kinds of stuff that is not in real life. Most of it is standard husband and wife but all kinds of stuff abounds. We keep it pretty darn tame though as far as what is...

    Queer As A Three-Sided Die: Round Table From GaymerX3

    If you walk up to a game table expecting and looking for unfairness you will find it. Being biased isn't just a one way road. I'm not saying unpleasant things can't happen, I know they do. I just think that for every group of unpleasant people who would harshly judge someone based on their...

    Queer As A Three-Sided Die: Round Table From GaymerX3

    I don't want to know that they are Gay. I don't want to know if anyone is strait either. I frankly just do not care and do not really want any sexuality in my rpg games and if someone just HAS to bring a tiny bit in, it better be in character. Really this issue is just a non issue with any...

    D&D 5E (2014) What will 5E D&D be remembered for?

    The Edition that you finally got to role play Filcho Buttins in middle earth and show all them orcs what Hobbit style, is all about? The edition that created it's first actual Lich as Tolkien comes back from the dead to protest Hobbit Rapper-Bard "Fifty Copper's" new song " I fought Morder and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What will 5E D&D be remembered for?

    At our table 5E will be known forever as the edition I got a chance to play at moment zero and rolled a NAT 20! but because I had disadvantage it didn't count. I then raged and table flipped and finally in the end just sadly looked across the table and said" This game is dead to me" with a look...

    D&D 5E (2014) Levels of literary heroes (and inflation thereof)

    It really doesn't matter what their stats are. Every one of these characters had one thing going for him that isn't on their character sheet. They are PC's in a Story DM's Dream Game. I can kill Gods and take on entire armies as a fighter with a eight strength and nine hit points total if the...

    “I never had any friends later on, like the ones I had when I was sixteen…does anyone?”

    I have found online games are a good option with some issues. Online games like with Fantasy Grounds or even of late just with Tabletop Simulator can be very fun and in some ways better than the old days but that it's even harder to find a group of rpgers that fit well. it took a while to...

    D&D 5E (2014) 6-8 encounters/day - how common is this?

    Not meaning to be a jerk or anything. I understand how these things can happen but.....you guys are doing it wrong. The encounter system is just as important as the stat system. If everyone you knew played D&D with original D&D stat modifiers that might work just fine for your guys but that...

    D&D 5E (2014) 6-8 encounters/day - how common is this?

    "Because the cold harsh truth is that any intelligent gamer sees through the "excitement" of the 8 encounter workday, and simply stops his day when running low on resources." What you fail to understand is that the player doesn't decide when those resources come back. The DM does. So if the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 6-8 encounters/day - how common is this?

    I just don't see a issue with 6-8 encounters per full heal up. I'm not trying to say YOU don't have issues with it. I just personally do not. In my game I decide (as the DM) when rests can happen. Now this does not mean that I decide when the player characters stop fighting and get in some...

    D&D 5E (2014) 6-8 encounters/day - how common is this?

    One thing I didn't see mentioned is that you can divorce resting from real time. For instance you could give have 6-8 encounters between full rests like the game was meant to do while traveling across the land and only having one encounter per day. The PC's would use up resources and suffer...
