    An uncomfortable thought

    I agree - but that's not the entirety of what you originally said. I also agree that an employer who wants to get rid of you - even with protections in place - will probably find a way. They can check timekeeping down to the second, phone/internet usage etc, etc. However, from a...

    An uncomfortable thought

    Some of this is just plain illegal, "as an integral part of UK labour law it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because they have one of the "protected characteristics", which are, age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, and...

    An uncomfortable thought

    You say this but I know no one who works in an environment like that. Perhaps the fault lies in your unusual work environment or your perception of it?

    Artist Wayne England RIP

    You're right but wrong. If I were talking to a close relative of the deceased I might well talk about their loss if that seemed appropriate - although I really can't imagine that I could have "passed away" pass my lips. This may be an ongoing and evolving UK/US thing [1]. I assure you that I do...

    Artist Wayne England RIP

    Died. Died. Died. Dead. What's with this "passed away" rubbish. For a hobby that's largely about killing things, we should be able to stare DEATH is the face. Condolences to friends and family. I'm sorry for your loss - but you know that what we call this won't change how you're feeling.

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolves/rats and damage immunity

    So, if the party push the wererat off a cliff will it suffer damage - or have the weaponised the cliff?

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolves/rats and damage immunity

    I agree with you on the topic of both strangulation and the flaw of clubbing analogy. However, I did think it was an argument that considered the reality of the gameworld rather than this RAW twaddle. If I want to play a board game, I play a board game not a RPG. I think that rulings must...

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolves/rats and damage immunity

    I quite like this point ... But does this mean that all wererats can survive falls of any height as they are immune to any form of falling damage? (c.f. breaking/damaging bones)

    D&D 5E (2014) Short One-Off RPG Boxed Set Games based on the 5e engine

    I agree - except that the history of D&D shows that roleplaying naturally emerges from a tactical combat game where each figure is a person/character. So - you need to enable the roleplaying rather than force it. All that takes is to say - "now this happens" [unexpected change on the tactical...

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    I think it needs to be even more of a mini-game than that. Something like: THE KOBOLD KING This minigame uses the D&D /5e system Tag: Help Draco become the Kobold King by defeating the Bonecrunchers and their boss Boris. Characters: Eight pre-gens decide which four/five/... to play Playtime...

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    To me, the pachyderm squatting in the corner, is: "yeah, current RPG fans have a script that plays out badly for publishers". Is that the gamer identity trend to see oneself as a XXX-player rather than more globally as an RPGer. Boardgame clubs may meet weekly but the games will cycle round...

    Rise of the Runelords Char question

    I think that's up to the player to do if he wants to play in your game. You've clearly already put a lot of work into this; it's reasonable to expect some effort from the players too. That's the social contract of roleplaying. Did you give the players some sort of overview of Runelords...
