    D&D General Gen Con, Daisy, Sleeping in the Lobby and All That

    It hasn't been mentioned that I've seen, and, while not an excuse, it seems the perpetrator may have a substance abuse problem as well, and if so, I sincerely hope they have someone still that can support them in seeking help.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Apparently Wizard Tower Games are a printing company now? Or is "wizard tower games" a different company? Since they had to put a lot of work into fixing, etc. (Then what? Where's the rest of that sentence?) And that image also belies the idea they fixed "the look".

    D&D General "Players in my D&D Group Sometimes Play Characters of a Different Gender." (a poll)

    Side note: the Mulan scenario you describe reminds me one of our players tries to base each of her characters off a Disney princess, often flipping tropes on their head, or having a backstory that digs into the in-game political "realities" of those characters.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rogues and sneak attacks... Must all rogues have it?

    The oven wasn't even warm enough to call this idea half-baked, but ... What if, through skill checks, the rogue could lend their sneak attack to other characters? Maybe at a reduced number of dice, but essentially using a "help-like" action to point out a foe's vulnerable spots? Of course, that...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    In my setting, there was an apocalyptic event (a god smashed a moon, and a chunk pierced the world all the way to the lower planes). The literal fallout caused many sentient races in the area to become corrupted into the typically evil races: humans became giants, elves became orcs, halflings...

    Why have accuracy when you can have sarcasm?

    E=MC^2 ? wtf??

    Yeah, I realize it’s an oversimplification, but it’s a heck of a lot closer than Einstein’s famous equation. In a gaming context, I don’t think the additional factors would be terribly useful. But then, I’m not even sure what use of applying any of these physics equations is in a gaming...

    E=MC^2 ? wtf??

    The formula in the title doesn’t apply to simple punches. The correct equation should be Force = Mass x Acceleration. So a very fast punch from a small guy can have the same force as a slower punch from a brute. The equation in the title (Energy = Mass x speed of light squared) really only...

    Which VTT do you use?

    For me, I need multiple selection. We're currently playing our D&D (and previously, Savage Worlds) games on Roll20, but I recently bought Foundry and have been running Mörk Borg with it, and soon will use it for Pirate Borg and Death in Space. Since we alternate GMs every game day, I'm using...

    Bigotry itself is a result of poor reasoning skills, so it follows many such individuals would have deficits in similar areas of mental acuity.

    You mean the advertising for an event that looks like it already happened?

    Dammit. I'm morbidly curious.

    using 2d20 along with Fatigue

    So what about this part of the question?
  15. Sir Brennen

    using 2d20 along with Fatigue

    What do you mean “if you use”? Your mechanic sounds like the player chooses which die they want. Are the 2d20 rolled as part of some other check? Like, if the character needs to dodge something, they make a Dexterity check, presumably against a set Difficulty Rating. For argument’s sake, let’s...

    [VTT] What size screen do you use?

    I'm both a player and GM. Two 27-inch wide-screen monitors for me. The VTT (Roll20 or Foundry) takes up one screen, and the character sheet (using a pop-out window) and Notepad++ for note taking on the other.

    Death in Space: Interview with Plogfors and Niblaeus

    ANYWAY... I like Death in Space alot, though I haven't run a session yet. Watched a couple of live plays and read a fair number of reviews. It's definitely oozing with flavor and idea-inspiring descriptions. One criticism of the system I've seen and agree might be an issue for some GMs: As a...

    Death in Space: Interview with Plogfors and Niblaeus

    I think the fault for that lay more with the distributor, Free League, than the KS creators. Not that it isn't still annoying, but I don't think Carl and Christian are to blame - I'm sure they fully intended the backer's books to go out first, but then Free League fumbled the ball. I think...

    So here's my six stats as a replacement

    This is still making zero sense. Your six replacement stats are all calculations of other... stats? Aren't the six supposed to be atomic in nature... i.e., can't be broken down further? Otherwise, your real base stats would seem to be everything on the right side of your equations (Skill...
