    Why System Matters for Roleplaying

    In the example you are using, it is not the system that will impact the players RP approach. It is the perceived Lethality of the situation. And while I think system does play a small part in informing that, I think that is way WAY more influenced by the players experience with/expectations of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Trade Road Name

    You could name it metaphorically. Presumably a trading route would be lucrative to traders both ways. "Riches Road". It's simple, easy to remember and it doesn't actually tie you to a particular product. Plus you can have an NPC or PC named Rich who claims it's named after them.

    D&D General WizKids D&D Dungeon Scrawlers, a drawing game.

    So...you can bump someone's arm to knock them through a wall and cost them points, right? Why do I imagine this as both a great drinking game and a prelude to numerous fistfights?

    If not for Gold and Glory...?

    It makes an excellent cover for their inherent psychopathy. "You killed Old Bill, the Fishmonger! You're wearing his boots right now!" "Uhhh, he was ...an Illithid Mind ...Host?" "ALL HAIL OUR HEROIC PROTECTORS!"

    TSR The Mystery Deepens -- Jim Ward Knows Nothing About A New TSR!

    I think under US law when you buy an old trademark, all surviving former employees automatically become your property. It's the longstanding principle of "Factum est autem latine".

    D&D 5E (2014) On Die Averages and Hit Points in 5e

    "Take the set amount or roll. Decide before rolling. If you decide to roll, you must reroll ones." is absolutely going to become my standard for rolling HP. Thanks NotAYakk!

    Flying Buffalo Being Sold?

    We STILL play Nuclear War. Hands down that game is the best value gaming purchase I or my group has ever made. (based on cost/hours played). Even exceeding D&D, because amongst all of us we have bought a LOT of D&D books, but only 1 copy of everything for Nuclear War. We have been playing it...

    D&D 5E (2014) How long does it take to level?

    You're right! The math checks out, there SHOULD be a ton of high level adventurers. But...there aren't. Why not? Who or what is killing all the high level adventurers?? There's your campaign right there.

    D&D 5E (2014) When is a dark elf NOT a Dark Elf? (Mechanically and roleplaying purposes)

    D&D 5E (2024) YOU are in charge of the next PHB! What do you change?

    I reinstate level caps for non-humans, absolute alignment restrictions for some classes, and stat modifiers based on gender. Not because I actually want any of those things. But ...
