    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    I don’t think it fair to criticize the design for something it doesn’t do anymore which is survival sim. D&D is heroic fantasy now. Staving of hunger or avoiding dysentery from bad water isn’t that exciting for hero stories. One area I would criticize is the lack of moudularity that was...

    D&D General Who else was resistant to Eberron for awhile before falling for it?

    Eberron felt a pinch less kitchen sink but still pretty encompassing. I really enjoyed the factions, locales, lore. DDO did well to bring it to life. Golarion won me over because it was like fantasy Indiana Jones. Paizo adventures rewrote the book for me. The amount of content for Golarion has...

    D&D General Who else was resistant to Eberron for awhile before falling for it?

    I had a bunch of runs with Forgettable Realms but during that particular period I was heavily homebrewing. I didnt RPG for a few years while I played DDO. Afterwards, I really got into Golarion and PF1.

    D&D General Who else was resistant to Eberron for awhile before falling for it?

    IDK, if resistant is the right word. Id go more with disinterested. Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) actually really warmed me up to the setting.

    How Special Are The PCs?

    I will say after playing Masks, I can enjoy Supers in narrative focused games. I do not want to play one, however, in what recently was described as tall progression designed RPG such as 5E.

    Does Your Game Have Random Encounters?

    That was a hard vote... I went with not really maybe once or twice an adventure. Typically, Id only use random generation for overland travel, hexcrawling, dungeon/subterranean spelunking, etc.. Occasionally, something like Kingmaker from Paizo would use them a lot. Though, most of my campaigns...

    How Special Are The PCs?

    I prefer a lower power RPG than most I imagine. One thing I noticed during discussions is how folks view the concept of being "heroic". For some it means being "special" having powers or abilities beyond the average person of the setting. I couldnt be further from that expectation. To me...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I’ll start by saying I’ve only seen the Skywalker Saga films not read any novels. The swapping Christiansen’s ghost always bugged me. I asked a friend once and he said GL wanted to do it because he thought it completed Anakins redemption. Not sure if that’s right or not but it still bugs me...
