Here's an example from the demo adventure Road to Brockhurst: Interest 1 means that Gogellwyc starts out fairly unlikely to help. If they can get him to 2, he will point out an alternate route, and at 3 or higher he'll allow them through his territory (at a cost at 3). Patience 5 means the PCs...

One thing I in theory like about negotiations is that they've formalized motivations/pitfalls into 12 rough categories: benevolence, discovery, freedom, greed, higher authority, justice, legacy, peace, power, protection, revelry, and vengeance. These can be expressed in different ways – among...

Jason Bulmahn also ran a game for Geek & Sundry that used theatre of the mind. As for the differences, I think Draw Steel looks much more immediate in what it does – particularly for what passes for martial characters. In PF2, the stuff martial characters do tend to be based on normal maneuvers...

The Troubleshooters has a math-less system for skill modifiers. If something is at +/- N "pips", you look at the ones digit on the d100. If it's in the range of 1 to N, you automatically succeed (for +) or fail (for -). So if your skill value is 58%, and you're at +2 pips, you succeed on 01 to...

So, for those who have played the game: how does it scale with player count, particularly downward? D&D is kind of infamous for scaling poorly at lower counts because of niche protection and not having enough people to cover the niches, but how does Draw Steel work with 2-3 players plus...

I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 (heresy, I know). But from all I know, shouldn't the name of the book be Astarion's Book of Thirst? I mean, really:

Playing Jago as a "Yeah, whatever these guys are" type character is a valid choice. It may or may not be the best choice for a video meant to promote the game, but it's a choice. But poking around with your phone mid-game is generally considered bad form in a private game (unless you have your...

They might be looking to pushing more in connection with the physical release. Hopefully. I saw that they had uploaded part 1 of an actual play using the Delian Tomb (the adventure Matt designed in one of his videos as an example of "Look, it doesn't have to be more complex than this!"), both...

Solarion crystals seem to be specifically for the "built-in" weapon Solarions get as a class feature. Other classes will need to upgrade their weapons, but the system seems to support upgrading rather than getting a new one. I remember the playtest having runes, but apparently they did away...

I think this is a different house than the DHSM. This is where Gygax lived while D&D was taking form, while the DHSM was an office/shop TSR opened later in the 70s.

This is pretty funny though:

Classic Pym!
