Totally have to disagree with you there. A hero puts their abilities to use for good ends - that's a significant part of what makes them tick and why superhero stores are modern mythology. And why stories about people with superhuman abilities but who aren't putting them to use for the common...

A superhero is someone with superhuman abilities and/or gear AND who uses them to make the world a generally better place for other people. Lacking that second factor either makes them a supervillain (out for themselves) or just a superhuman (just living life).

Oh hell, yes. Totally on board. It has the best lightsaber duel and has 2 more interesting characters than any of the other prequels... in that it has 2 interesting characters.

Maybe so that if some former employee recreates it, they still have the original as IP and can use that to claim copyright infringement if it's ever distributed? So, for example, if someone illustrates a Snow White orgy scene but Disney already one in the files, they might be able to stifle...

My Pendragon core rulebook was printed in Poland.

Well, sure, but I'd lay much of the responsibility for that on major structural changes in media transmission that brought us SO MANY DIFFERENT options. I can assure you, my kids have seen much less Brady Bunch than I did at their ages, because they have so many better options to choose from...

No, they still print in the USA. The vast majority of my 5e books, including the 2024 ones, are printed in the USA. The only ones I have that weren't are Planescape and Monsters of the Multiverse. Whether that's because the PS ones also came in a box or not, I couldn't tell you. But they still...

My recommendation is to stop using the potion miscibility table. It disappeared after the AD&D days and that's where it should have stayed.

Yeah, I get it. It's the only face to face game you have. But you keep going down this road with posts here. Time to take a break with this group as it is currently composed and the way it is currently behaving.

I think it would be more than slightly unfair to The Expanse. While there are relatable conflicts in the Expanse story, the political viewpoints of each group are inherent to their different circumstances in the solar system - Belters with a history of exploitation, deprivation, and bad...

It didn't matter if it did or didn't. The effect is the same. If a +1 enchantment on chainmail improved the class of the armor from 5 to 4, it was still just subtracting 1 from the numeric value. When it came to practical use of the bonuses, rolls, and THAC0 value, it's a distinction without a...

If anyone had the answer to that question, we'd save so many GMs from burnout or player-caused PTSD.

Rest of the World: "Oh, so the US is hoist on its own petard for once? Sucks to be them. Let's send them thoughts and prayers."

How do you avoid burnout? Take a break. A nice long one. If your players want to keep playing, one of them can bear the burden.

And related games - Call of Cthulhu was the one I have direct experience with. But I know it's also involved in Pendragon. Another Fantasy Games Unlimited game. Probably some cross-pollination.

Trouble is, the drugs Langdon is stealing that we hear about are all sedatives/hypnotics like Librium and Ativan/Lorazepam. They'd be more likely to be the cause of him calming down by the middle of the day.

Honestly, I think that just underscores problems with Reddit and Tumblr denunciation culture. Santos is overconfident and arrogant (not that unlike the surgeons on the show, particularly Garcia who would rather bury her head in the sand than deal with thorny problems), BUT she reports an actual...

Right. It strikes me as more of a recipe for uniting the rest of the world against America rather than with America. The constructed aliens really would be the external threat rather than the FO part of FAFO on America's part that Dr. Manhattan might be.

That's why you calculated it once for each of the sizes your power allowed you to reach when you finalized your power set. Then, you only had to do it again if something changed one of your relevant stats - which generally only happened at level-up if you trained to increase your strength...

As is being made abundantly clear from this thread.
