"Honest" randomness? So's a 1d20, a 1d6, and so is 4d6k1. They're ALL equally random, they just have different distributions. And, since at least 1979, the distribution for 4d6k1 has been pretty dominant for generating adventurers. And yes, because it skews a bit higher with its mean and lower...

You've definitely identified one of the most a corrosive attitudes running through society.

I can definitely see the point of this line of criticism. Having to pick specific weapons to be proficient with in 1e, the addition of weapon specialization in 2e, weapon focus/specialization feats in 3e... all of these tended to push fighter-types into narrowing a character to the point where...

Well, let's unpack this a little. 3d6 vs point buy and 4d6 vs point buy are pretty different comparisons. Both point buy and 4d6 are methods that will tend to insulate a PC from very low stats. And with 4d6 being the long-preferred convention (since 1e days), offering up 3d6 is going to seem...

We didn't get an awful lot of overall playing in because we ended up in a single combat for a couple of hours. It took a bit longer because there were a lot of enemies on one side (20 hobgoblins, 2 captains, 1 warlord) against 6 level 5 PCs. So I set it up to be a reasonably tough encounter...

The justification works pretty well for me. It's his really big mainstream breakthrough. "Eat It" took him from Dr. Demento's show right to Top 40 radio.

Recently finished Hodag Days by R.L. Baranowski. Started reading Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab.

THE BEST GEORGE HARRISON SONG!!!! Thanks for sharing.

But how will I know it's a unique file if it isn't an NFT?

Didn't expect such an attack from this clown. Welcome back - to my ignore list.

I think they're a bit "one note"-ish in the sense that the one note each weapon plays is repeatedly spammed. If anybody thought the trip attacks people made with the spiked chain back in 3e was tedious, don't let anyone pick topple. Granted, I think the 5e.2024 implementation is at least a...

I expect they'll kickstarter it. And no, they're not grifters. Nobody is being swindled or conned to help them with legal fees.

Are you serious? With all the jabs at wokeness with various publishers and products in the RPG industry? Of course, this is going to be something you might want to consider, particularly with highly critical clickbait or claims of "failure" by people on the internet. It might be ridiculous we...

Tailspin was pretty inspired. Shere Khan as a corporate. The behavior and mannerisms of Don Karnage and his air pirates.

Hey now, the rat-bastard keeper in me is saying that should be a GROUP Luck check - and that means you use the lowest Luck score in the group.

I have The Man From U.N.C.L.E on DVD as well as Star Trek: The Animated Series, WKRP in Cincinnati, The Muppet Show, and Jonny Quest.

The wording here was particular interesting because referring to the food as a "trick" evokes references to 1e DMG Appendix H where a number of tricks were described. Basically, a trick is akin to a trap in that it's a hidden property of something, just not necessarily something set up as a...

That wouldn't preclude him from being in Ireland during years of plantations, dispossessions, and uprisings before traveling to America. Remmick's statements may erroneously conflate religious conversion with dispossessions a bit since Ireland generally wasn't converted to Christianity by...

Wow. You even see things like that come up in party games like Codenames. You'll give a clue that, you think, links pretty much exclusively to a couple of cards on display and someone will have some weird association and screw it up. It's almost enough to think some people just don't speak the...

Good luck to Green Ronin. I tossed in a few bucks to help them out even if I'm not really buying much from them these days.
