    Create an O.L.D. Character

    You should have bunch more skills. You get 3 from being an orc. PS

    Create an O.L.D. Character

    Could you also give REP as one of the selectable "skills" for some professions? PS

    Create an O.L.D. Character

    I made a character - it was kinda fun! The traditions for Burglar and Gladiator weren't filled out, so he wasn't complete, but still pretty good. I ended up with REP 0, which means I don't know anyone. Seemed a little odd. Also, on the chart of derived attributes something got auto formatted...

    How do you handle Experience Points?

    No XP, just leveling at player discretion. :D PS

    A Question of Narration in Combat

    You and I seem to have a habit of derailing perfectly innocent discussions . . . :D PS

    A Question of Narration in Combat

    I totally narrate moving my forces into Ukraine. And when I get pulled into the Conservatory by Professor Plum when I already know he's the killer?! Time for some heavy duty RP! PS

    D&D 5E (2014) Game Design and Pizza Analogies

    Limiting the pizza toppings to what everyone will eat is a great comparison to an individual gaming group. D&D Next is more like the entire pizza industry. Limiting the toppings available to the entire industry would be a terrible mistake. Also, pepperoni is for people that don't know about...

    Economics and Politics of the Future

    Star Trek assumes that all human problems are solved - except for this week's drama. :) PS

    D&D 5E (2014) Wandering Monsters: Tiers of Play

    Meh. If my PCs are any indication, it just turns them into warmongering murderhobos. . . PS

    Tech levels and the end of the universe

    Meh. That's simply not true. Why do I need to account for every possible advance when I am trying to predict, for example, increases in life expectancy (I choose this metric because it's a key variable in the Doomsday Argument)? I can assume there will be some, unspecified, advances that result...

    Tech levels and the end of the universe

    Meh. Even if I cannot predict what advances will happen, when, and who will invent them, I am reasonably confident that advances will happen. Given the last 1000 years to look at, it is reasonable to conclude we will see more advances in the future than we've seen in the past. Ray Kurzweil would...

    The Holy Grail of Online Tools (Listen up, WotC!)

    It would be great if they could come up with a simple layout/formatting tool that I could drop stat blocks and map jpgs into and have it print out easily. Even if it didn't come with adventure design templates/planning/advice - just let build my adventure from the same place I'm plucking...

    D&D 4E What can Next do to pull in 4e campaigns?

    I would assume they use both methods to test which one is preferred. PS

    Cthulhu vs PCs: Anyone tried this?

    D&D 4E What can Next do to pull in 4e campaigns?

    I think his point was that if your stat block power needs errata, and it's a power 157 monsters have, that's 157 errata entries. Vs 1 spell change. But I'm in the camp that it doesn't matter. Just having spell lists on monsters is unacceptable. My last session of 3.5 I needed a Vrock. One of my...

    Tech levels and the end of the universe

    Coming in first place in the understatement category . . . PS

    Tech levels and the end of the universe

    But obviously you can't say that given the actual distribution of human population. A reasonable (tho possibly wrong!) estimate of total human population ever born is ~100 billion people. If you had continuously predicted "we're in the last 50% of the total human population" any time from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Think Spare the Dying is a Problem?

    I haven't played very much Next, but if there's really a problem with this spell, it has to be in the dying rules. The spell itself is pretty mild. PS

    Heh. I first gave up the power, and that means I don't need the eckspee! PS

    LOL. What's the problem, man? Is this as bad as when I told S'mon I don't police my players for cheating? Cuz he blew a gasket when I said that. ;) PS
