Yes I understood that much and I agree with you. I was just being thorough on other aspects in my reply.

Understood - thanks. I do not believe there is a difference TBH, but that is neither here nor there. Sure. Books stores online or in the RW have the right to determine what they sell. It becomes a little less black-and-white, IMO, when you have international stores like (Amazon) censor...

I'm not well versed in this IT stuff but just a query is Itch like a gaming platform or online store? If yes, then your post is making the case that a series of books is comparable to games which may include revenge porn and beastiality? If the answer is yes it should be comparable and that we...

You forgot the Would you like to know more? ;)

That's hardcore, you still use level drain! :eek: Have you ever collaborated with a player using a non-traditional playable race or class for their backstory to fit your campaign or has it always been a no?

Well, it depends how long this thread to goes on for, and only if you round-up, which I should say is not the norm for hit points and damage and shouldn't be for age ;) Well, our characters tend to be younger the older we get as players

I stand to be corrected (@Lanefan) but Lanefan may prefer a lower crit count because they do not use 1e/2e's system for hit point generation and far less healing is available all round, also their game likely employs a slower natural healing from those earlier editions.

I would imagine for this discussion, that lore is built into appearance, right?

Your framing of one person obeying another is not how the hobby is enjoyed amongst friends. I would not frame football (soccer for the 350k in the US) as people kicking a ball around. So not permitting a race, a class, a sub-class, a class feature or a spell for a game/campaign is asserting...

What is the distinguishable difference between the two? Custom a well-known published setting or building a setting from scratch? I could run the Principalities of Glantri during the lycanthrope epidemic (where halflings and dwarves were blamed and hunted), I could run Forgotten Realms sans...

But but but...then you (or the table) get to come up with some wonderfully creative thing occur in the narrative, if not a success, then something unique or interesting...you get to flex the creative muscle. i.e. bard attempts to seduce dragon but instead dragon finds the bard amusing, perhaps...

The love for Dragonbait will never cease ;)

Besides the RAW being terrible IMO, I think you're forgetting that the entire debate was centered around a Fail Forward. Are you saying a GM couldn't rule that you struggled with the lock and it took longer than RAW, and likely longer? I recall @AlViking and I were providing time loss as a...

Same as you, but I do not feel an EDIT note is necessary when fixing sentence structure and spelling, otherwise I may as well leave that EDIT note in a signature as I do it so often.

Ah, I didn't go back far enough! I did indeed find it strange that I would supposedly be the first to make that association.

I hear you but please see my reply post #18477 to Max where I directly tie the consequence of the action to the poor die roll.

If you were more skilled, you would have picked that lock a lot sooner, before the cook made his way to the kitchen. If you were more skilled on the attempt, you'd have not made so much noise while lock-picking thereby attracting the attention of the perceptive cook.

HOLD THE HORSES! STOP THE TRAIN! For 1,000+ pages people had issues with the unfortunate luck of running into a cook when one failed one's lock-pick roll, yet now bad luck is ok for climbing. So it is obvious the issue was the above example reflected a tool proficiency. This thread would have...

Party searched wrong dragon's lair...

Listen, provide soft workable alternatives and gently encourage. i.e. Use honey Reflect and provide examples on how allowing for player/table input has changed players guarded/ min-maxing ways made players more trusting of the GM allowed players to focus on roleplay and genuineness of...
