Frankly, no. But that's not the point. MY motives? It's not my fault that I had to go back and forth with you when I simply asked for a point of reference! Not every 1:10 scale means the same thing. It's also increasingly pointless to have as many gradients as TEN if there's no information as...

I agree. What's the point, then?

I agree with you regarding comparing one like thing to another - for example, as I Comic Guy, I am constantly asked who my favorite character is. I don't have one. I like different ones for different reasons. My above point was more along the lines of: What is a 10? A 9? An 8? What do they mean?

Stratus stopped at the door and looked around, straining his ears to hear the footfalls of the woman over the sound of thumping from inside the sarcophagus. Sure, I'll use my action to Search instead of dash. Got an 11 Perception. Not great.

I once had a DM insist that it was "impossible" to climb a ladder with a shield equipped. It got to the point in our argument, that I literally got out a ladder and a "garbage-can lid" and ran up the ladder (without using the other hand either) to prove my side. People can do quite crazy things...

It always frustrates me when TTRPGs (and D&D in particular) will always let magic do virtually anything, but "mundane" skill usually doesn't let you even do the things that actual real-world humans can do in real life. And yet, OTOH, occasionally forces them to do things that are ridiculously...

No kidding. I have long wished that there weren't so many "sly winks" in games like D&D, where you're pretty sure you know what they intend with a rule, but it's very vague even so. Just tell us what you want it to be! We would still be able to change or ignore it, after all!

"We don't have time for any of this!" declared Stratus in frustration. Then to the dwarf, "Stay down and you won't have to end up like your unfortunate friend! I say again: We are not here for you!" "Leave him. Let's go." he said to the others, referring to the dwarf. But he didn't trust what...

I appreciate what you're saying here, but @Hriston has a point. Your last action declaration was that you would "close the grate", but at the time it hadn't been opened yet. I chose, like I generally try to, to go with your intent as best I can, so I had Stryke open it. From my perspective...

Sure! (Rolls d10+2)... Eleven!

I'm late to this party, but I think that there is a pretty easy solution for this problem: As the GM, ask the player if they'd like to do the description, and if they don't, do it yourself, or ask if anyone else wants to do it.

I often read the OOC thread before I read the IC thread, and read stuff (like I did above) without context. Though I have fun guessing. At any rate, I think that the DC of Intimidation, on an "already described as nervous" guy, by striding into his torchlight with a (well-known to these guys)...

Sounds about right to me.

Team Caves The mercenaries were used to strange sounds that echoed up from the caves. Previously Ironbark would occasionally rage, or at other times remain totally silent and still for weeks at a time. But today, the sounds that the guard at the top of the ridge had listened to, before he...

I don't remember if my 40-hour thinking on it comes from them, or from playing it multiple times. It seems like the Keep includes a lot of shops. Honestly, if they time it with a lot of sotcial interaction, it will take longer than a cut-to-the-chase game. (I'm not saying that Phandelver was...

They say it estimates at 60 hours of play. To me, thar seems longer than Phandelver, which I have always thought of as about 40 hours. But I'm not sure how they're judged.

Other people, I am afraid.

No, you were correct! His name is Stratus and he is a Marshal.

10/28 after using the last of his Lay on Hands.

Yes.
