Honestly, at this point, I'm not sure. The individual groups aren't what I find unintuitive. It's the baseline use of the app itself to do much of anything. I'm confused about what the app is meant to provide that I'm not more capable of doing without it. Edit: I signed up for it originally...

Is there a way to search for a channel? With as popular as the platform is, I had thought the user interface would be better. I stopped using it for a while and then came back to it, and the "new and improved" Discord is worse than I remember.

There's no way to sugar coat it, I struggle with the Discord user interface. I find it unintuitive and frustrating, and the new (to me) updates that have been added have made the experience even worse for me. A lot of the features (such as the search function) don't even seem to work on the...

Yes it did. To multiclass, you would take a multiclassing feat for the class you wanted to multiclass into (which typically gave proficiency in a skill, some minor benefit, and allowed you to count as the second class for picking Paragon Paths.) If you later wanted to pick up more powers and...

4th Edition did something like that

Years ago, I played with a GM who ruled that a player who had their d20 go onto the floor (off the table) had effectively rolled a zero. Suddenly, the butterfingers the barbarian seemed to keep his dice on the table.

It matters because having productive discourse tends to require speaking the same language. If there are different definitions for a term, having some idea of what those differences is relevant to the parties engaging in the discourse. What's the general ballpark of how you, as an individual...

Thanks for posting that. I had often suspected that "bounded accuracy" means something very different than what I would normally understand those words to mean (or even what they were implied to possibly mean in the 5e Playstest). It appears, from reading that, that my suspicion was accurate...

What is your personal definition of "regularly"?

GURPS

Does a Bastion have to be stationary? Would something like an airship or a semi-nomadic woodelf village be a valid Bastion?

Fluorescent Damnation I like #2

I have some dislike of Quantum Ogres, but I would find them more palatable than what is being suggested for this module. I feel that what the module is doing is multiple degrees worse than Quantum Ogres because the module is instructing the gaming group that an action should be taken -only for...

Not necessarily. I understand why D&D uses Legendary Resistance. However, I think there are better ways to solve the problem that is trying to be solved. I'm not sure how the players wouldn't know what happened. If I attempt an action and it fails, but trying it a second time works (with the...

This video shows how I imagine that playing out:

It's the entire set up. As the DM, you are telling the players that they should take a particular action and -also as the DM- using fiat to declare that taking that action automatically fails. I feel that fosters an atmosphere in which the DM cannot be trusted to be a fair arbiter of the rules...

For whatever it is worth, I've recently been playing Dungeon Crawl Classics, and it (allegedly) has a li an old school vibe. I haven't generally found that fudging and railroading to be an assumed part of DCC adventure design. "Unfair" encounters? Sometimes, but most of the modules are...

I'll need to think about this more. Generally, I am against fudging and railroading. However, judging by only only your description, it sounds as though there are multiple degrees to it in this adventure, so it is difficult to make one blanket statement. I'm not entirely against planned...

You could do that. My own preference would be one static and one semi-floating (choice between two abilities) for most races species. That then would allow humans to keep their schtick of versatility by being the only species to get two floating +1s. Half-Elves could get +1 to something...

I agree with much of this, especially the bit about PR.
