    Fate Questions

    Fate Core Hardback and Fate System Toolkit. I also have the free pdf's but it's hard for me to read pdf's and really get new ideas and stuff. Well it's made harder by the only time I get a chance to read my pdf's is after the wife has fallen asleep with my Nook. My idea for Fate core is to get...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Does A Fighter Deal With Falling In Battle?

    Really liked your post so I turned it into it's own thread!

    D&D 5E (2014) Letting the enemy have even a single attack is the result of a strategic failure.

    I love the idea of this statement. It reminds me for several really cool literary characters from novels and I would love to have a player in my game with this attitude(or even play one if I ever get another chance to play!". In my experience with D&D though, it really isn't possible. While I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Champion

    The Champ is a option for those who don't need lots of things to fiddle with. For some players role playing even in combat is enough and don't need to want the extra tools of the battle Master ect.. I can assure you that Champ is a valid and equally powerful option given the random nature of...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Murder Hobo is Your Party

    I have two groups. The MOTHER MURDERER's and The Pixie Princess Pirates a all girl group. The MM's are just simply horrible people who I think play rpg's simply to see just how far there sick depraved minds can go before becoming unhinged. I Rate them 11 out of 10 and if you sat in on one of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Champion

    Champ is the only type to see any play at my table. The other two builds while attractive are already not attractive enough for my players. If you want to alter the champ at your table regardless of what other tables have experienced that's cool man and more power to you! I just don't see it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Champion

    Sorry I don't find anything wrong with the Champ, if I did though I would pick to change as little as possible in order to fix him. Like simply giving him 1 higher crit range.

    D&D 5E (2014) Killing a Teammate

    I asked my group what they would do in this situation. This lead to the most depraved sick sadistic downright just nasty dirty theory brainstorming that I have ever been unfortunate to listen to(and I have been in the Navy on a SSBN in the middle of nowhere bored). In fact I'm not sure I wanted...

    What's a good plot reason to grant the players psionic powers?

    The player enjoys a can of Psiostachios. *known to cause Psionic Player Characters, read those labels!

    D&D 5E (2014) To fudge or not to fudge: that is the question

    It's hard to joke on the net because you can't hear my funny as all get out voice! That post basically said" Yes I cheat any and all ways but I try to not get caught". As far as me causing this issue, I will accept some of the blame but they behave in this fashion with just about everything...

    D&D 5E (2014) To fudge or not to fudge: that is the question

    I make it a point to NEVER EVER alter the dice rolls or cheat for or against the player characters, EVER. Why even bother to play the game if you are not going to actually play the game? This rule is violated by only the most horrible of DM's! This is a WELL known fact at my game table and...

    Fate Questions

    It's the D&D player in me that is struggling to like the nature of advantage but your posts are helping. It's true that in a game like D&D where those advantages or disadvantages to the die roll are more permanent but mods seem to matter a lot more in fate so while D&D could award a +2 bonus for...

    Fate Questions

    I am a long time D&D player. I have actually played many hundreds of rpg's over the last 40 odd years but you get the idea. I'm mostly a strictly Class oriented role player. I received both Fate Core and Fate Accelerated along with the Freeport Guide for Fate in pdf form a while back and have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    If you want to mess with the pc's(who doesn't aimiright,amiright?) I would place another npc there who knows all about Leosin but wants to be rescued himself! The party goes to all the trouble to rescue him and deliver him to the king to be told...That's not him! Make the guy a scoundrel who is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Killing a Teammate

    Mordred won! The Kingdom fell! 20,000 people of the Kingdom were put to the sword and their families sold into slavery and nothing could be done because Sir Greenlaid the fierce was laid low by a Intellect Devourer and placed in a coma and Sir Lancelot had to provide for him until help could be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Killing a Teammate

    I would have a LF Paladin love a CE Necromancer and betray a CG Bard to the Kobold King if THAT was the only route to fun at the game table. Any since of fake realism, character/background/story motivation goes out the window if it leads to unfun. No amount of role playing, morality or anything...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Healing

    I don't use the same rules generally for monster hit points as I do with player character hit points. Instead if it's later the same day I use the same hit points as the party left them with unless they could get to magical healing. If it's days later they will generally heal 50% of the damage...

    D&D 5E (2014) Killing a Teammate

    So if the only way for your party member to stay alive was for you to put your thumb up their bum till they could get magically healed (three months to two years later) it would be murder to not so it right? You would be evil to not have that thumb up that bum? If you were a pally, your god...

    D&D 5E (2014) Killing a Teammate

    I love POINTS OF FACT that are anything but facts. Ten friggin pages later there are people still not getting the idea that: It doesn't matter what reasoning you use, being unfun is wrong. Telling people they can't play because there character failed a save= WRONG! Telling Paladins they can't...
