You're a little behind. These GPTs have already taken a few things off my plate at work, and I don't even know what I'm doing. I mostly use it to kill writers block, and to answer emails requesting information that I've already provided. Some people would rather request information rather than...

Yeah, I agree, this is what people should be talking about.

Twitter, heh heh heh. Well it's probably a pretty good summary of Twitter itself back in April. You could probably use daily summaries as a kind of zeitgeist tracker.

I don't know. Sounds kind of boring. Maybe as an option so people can ignore it if they don't like it.

What is AiME?

Bigby's Hand spells seem off. Blade Barrier.

The Players are the real problem here. They need to be wholly on board with this, lest every choice they make ends up making a knight in shining armor, or a swashbuckling sailor from whatever limited resources their given. Players need to make and play neolithic characters, rather than...

I think a lot of the spells would need to be changed or abandoned to maintain the feel of such a campaign. It might be better to create a short list of thematic spells and specific necessary spells recast to feel more neolithic.

1. Human 2. Elf 3. Dwarf 4. Halfling 5. Orc 6. Half elf 7. Hill giant 8. 9. 0. Nope, can't do it.

In the past I've run many games for kids in afterschool programs. I've learned that it's important to support them in their creative endeavors for a better gaming experience. I had one kid who really wanted to play a skeleton. My first reaction of course was hell no! There are all kinds of...

Yes, I've done this, but it usually is not much fun. It usually creates a bit of friction between me (the Dungeon Master) and the Player. Real-world interpersonal friction, and I've learned the less of that at the table the better. I believe you need Player buy-in for this kind of thing to work...

Many years ago I played the online game Conan the Barbarian. It was my first MMO and I was very excited about it. I was having a lot of fun until one day I went to the blacksmith to buy some armor. When I walked into the shop there was a bloody, red demon with horns and bat wings menacing the...

I once conducted an experiment during a Pathfinder Society game I was running in order to test Players' assumptions. The setting was a very large city called Absalom, and I shocked the Players and spurred them into action as I described a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex lumbering through the...

My current character, Brother Vortigern, is a secret necromancer. He is a devout priest of the church, but he abuses his position to acquire bodies with which to conduct his clandestine arcane research. One of the other players even plays a priest who acts as Brother Vortigern's chaperone and...

I use one sometimes, but sometimes I lay it under my notes like a placemat for ease of reference.

I specifically chose the term "scientific mindset" in this thread to try and communicate with the most people. I considered "modern knowledge", "common mindset", and even "scientific thinking", but I rejected each for one reason or another. When evaluating conversations about the scientific...

We will never be able to travel across the galaxy. That is Star Wars stuff. Pure fantasy.

Yes! That's exactly why I was excited to purchase Midgard when it first came out. Kobold Press did something different with the Midgard setting. Dare I say...something fantastic.
