Hiya! Thanks! I'll be here all weekend. Don't forget to tip your waiter! ;) May be droll, but still true. Human nature and all that. shrug ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! For me, the best advice is very specific and 'easy' to do. As an example, "Roll your d20 to hit and your attack's damage dice at the same time". That is specific and easy to do. It's easy to see results from adhering to that advice. Less useful is saying "When attacking, try and speed...

Hiya! "Problematic"...heh... yeah, because good looking people are treated exactly the same as average, plain or even ugly people. Kate Bekinsale, wearing black lingerie, stockings and garter belt walks into the room with a ladder. "Hun? Could you hold this for me? I need to climb up it to...

Hiya! I can see how someone could come to that conclusion, and I'm not disagreeing with you on it. Definitely have seen my fair share of "genre/immersion breaking antics" from Players... usually not on purpose. But when all is said and done...this IS a thread about "hating" some RPG system or...

Hiya! Yes. It will run 5', stop because of the pain, and the spell will be broken. At least that's how I'd rule it. ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya. Have you ever read the rules or played it? But we attempted to even make characters once. During character creation, the rules SPECIFICALLY tell you, the GM, to try and cause Player strife so that they try and "compete against each other" to try and get the "best/highest stat". There are...

Hiya! I think I narrowed it down for me: I hate when a system presents an "option" that, if anyone in the group opts to take it, forces EVERYONE else to take said "option" as well. Other than that, I don't think I really "hate" any RPG or RPG mechanic. Some I don't like, sure, but 'hate' is a...

Hiya! In response to a few things... I think some aren't remembering (or don't know) that when you play in a game of 1e, rules don't happen "in a vacuum". What I mean is that a "rule" was MUCH more akin to the Pirates Code....more of a set of "guidelines than actual rules". ;) There were a...

Hiya! I believe it's the same number as the number of licks it takes to get to the centre of a Tootsi-Pop. ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Hmmm.... Tom I like...but not as Nathan. Tom would probably have been fine...in another 10 to 15 years after he's aged a bit, got some more meat on his bones, developed some grey hair and a couple wrinkles...you know; gotten that "worn-leather bad-assery" look. Right now he looks like...

Hiya! I like it. I use it. I modify it to suit my needs and desires. So...yes. Good book and useful. Not perfect, but more positives than negatives for me. A fair number of 1e'ers are right there with you. A few are complete fanboi's, but I think most fall somewhere in the range of "Don't...

Hiya! Ahh... ok. Did some searching. Found them. Yup, some pretty crude talk. Still, band's not gonna be the same without "Angus McFife" as lead vocals, that's for sure. I predict they break up in the next year because of it... UNLESS they get stupid lucky and find someone as good or better...

Yes, go do that...and look at the lyrics if you have to. I'm not sure what nice things you are talking about because of the dozen songs I just looked up the lyrics for none mention women. ...are you sure you got the right band? Maybe you're thinking of Manowar? Some of their lyrics are...."strong".

Hiya! Rule: "If X occurs, then Y happens". Ruling: "If X occurs, then Y happens....but in this case, Z happens because it makes more sense". Good n' Bad of Rules in 5e: "I'm gonna say Q happens to Bob. For Fred, L happens in stead. Oh, and Ann? Nothing happens to you. Right, all of you...

Yes, I figured that, but 'on average' and 'the perception is', and all that. I mean, people say stuff about Canada that don't apply to us up here in the Yukon (or N.W.T, or Nunavut) because we are Territories and not Provinces (ex: we don't have any sales taxes other than the Goods & Services...

Hiya! Oooo...! I would love to see a "5e Arcana Evolved" book! I actually tinkered with writing a little "conversion" book for it when 5e first came out back in 2014. It was my first setting/adjustments I wanted to do, actually. Still have that document somewhere. I think I got up to about 8...

PS: Honorable Mention would go to: (The World of) GLORYHAMMER It's a 'fantasy metal band'. Hit Youtube, look them up, enjoy! :) Of course this setting would HAVE to use the DCC RPG game system. Heck, I might even have to start basing my DCC games (if I ever get to run one again... :( ) in the...

Hiya! I think I'm going to go with: Aarenis That's the world/area from the "Deed of Paksenarrion" books by Elizabeth Moon. I'm still on the 2nd book, I put it down a LONG time ago and never got back...and left it at work, where I don't anymore. :( I really got connected to Paks in the first...

Hiya! Hey...I think I got through about half of Another Life (season 1 I guess...didn't know there were 2..proably werent when I watched it). I haven't been a Netflix subscriber since "Cuties" though; that was my line I guess. Dumped them after about 3 years of $15/m for HD streaming. Told them...

Hiya! Ok, interesting premise. Acceptable initial incident. After that though....it's all downhill, then down the beach, into the water, out to sea, and plunged into the Marianas Trench! I mean, seriously? What the heck were the writers, directors and producers thinking?!? This is what happens...
