    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    Nilbog. I cant ever remember what the encounter was like, nor can I find my wallet.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh, they are not really interested in the definition. Claiming something has no useful definition is the new discussion these days.

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I wouldnt say solely responsible for buying supplies for everyone, but its pretty common for any game outside of WotC, Paizo, or Free League. For example, right now im in a Fading Suns game and the GM has many of the source books. Everyone else has a PDF equivalent of the characters handbook...

    Musings on Sci Fi Campaigns/Adventures

    Some players actually prefer strong GM direction. They dont do well with ambiguity and the vast opportunities in front of them which then the game stalls out. To be fair, some GMs are really poor at presenting sandboxes too. Paizo's Starfinder adventure paths are like the PF ones which come in...

    Musings on Sci Fi Campaigns/Adventures

    I've done both types. The Orders one we had a Traveller lab ship repurposed as a medical rescue team. The ship was called the Benevolent ("The Ben") and we had a shuttle for going planet side called the Beneficent ("The Benny"). The Ben was owned by a doctor who chose the jobs at first, but...

    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    Playing Fading Suns at the moment. Its just as the OP describes. The game, so far, has been 4 sessions with a single combat. All of us new to it. So far, its pretty interesting as its better to get as close to, if not on, the target number. I really enjoy it for exploration and social play. Im...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Just me, lol. Id normally answer no but my dog left this mortal Earth on Sunday. That night there were some violent storms. The kind my old pal did not like at all. As I was falling asleep I felt the bed shift as it would if my dog had gotten up and re-positioned his spot as he was wont to do...

    What is adventuring?

    A result of, an under the hood application, a secondary consideration, or just not the interesting part of adventuring in RPGs.

    What is adventuring?

    It depends on what adventure-ers-ing etc.. define as. If its distilled to the base layer, it simply means motivating circumstances for the characters to engage the game. So, under that definition id say yes it can work in any RPG. Absolutely, I tend to prefer flat curve progression RPGs such as...

    D&D General Dnd is a 10th level game, how's the balance?

    I've gone to level 20 in 5.14 and the changes were pretty minute in overall feel. Yes, the casters get incredible utility that other classes dont, but generally the combat sits in a nice zone throughout the game. I believe getting to high level is such a time commitment that mechanics are not...

    Spoilers I saw Happy Gilmore 2; so now you dont have to.

    Sad to report, this does not happen. Skip this advertisement for pro athletes disguised as a movie.

    What's Your Price Limit?

    You could argue your prep time makes the price even higher, but its still a bargain in the end as those RPG books will give unlimited hours of potential. Its not like folks sit down and watch the same movie week after week, year after year.
