I've tried watching some of these things on YouTube, but after the first one or two, I loose interest. I think it's a combination of things; depending on what I was watching it was things like the video isn't done well; or the story isn't compelling; or the persons involved aren't interesting...

Huzzah for living it up! I agree wholeheartedly that the game should reward living it up. As for the gaining of XP for spending gold, that too is a solid idea. And if you wanted something a bit more narrow in focus, you could always tailor that to fit the character - such that a mage gains XP...

That made me laugh! (I can't xp ya at the moment...)

For all your reworking, I think you would be better served by finding a different system rather than trying to shoe-horn D & D into a framework that it was never meant to represent. Maybe something like the FATE system.

I started thinking more about the idea that an ability score is "potential". Under this idea then, your ability score would be the cap - the maximum that you could achieve. If this is the case, then wouldn't you need another number that indicated the actual current score? I mean, if your...

Except - you are wrong. Muscles atrophy and degrade. The couch potato may have had an 18 at one point, but if he just sits there, he no longer does. Thus, the guy who works out is stronger. It is not a matter of potential - the game doesn't apply that concept in this regard. Look at modern...

If you want point-based character creation and advancement, have you given any thought to using Hero or Gurps and using their appropriate fantasy based materials?

As well, the floral or craft department in many large stores (Target, Walmart) have differing styles of bottles and glasswares.

Simply, it's a military mechanism by which you destroy any resources you can't take with you so as to deprive the enemy any use of those resources.

My heart goes out to you. It's never easy to loose a member of the family...

Yeah, Pink Flowers. I'd like to see both options. One for those who just want to give the ol' smackdown, and one for those who want more options - without having to go dual weapn.

Pathfinder players don't have to go anywhere - they have Paizo and the OGL. They're set. Those still playing 3.x, but not Pathfinder, also don't have to go anywhere - they have the OGL. They're okay. As for how many make the switch to 5E, no one knows nor can anyone say. WotC doesn't...

Seems par for the course. Some settings get more love in certain editions, while others, not so much. However, I think something that really needs some good attention is a good world building kit (or book, or whatever you want to call it). Sure, many of us here know how to build a world or...

I can't say I've ever taken this approach. But then, I rarely use published adventures or modules either. If a module catches my eye, I will buy them - but solely for the purpose of taking them apart and using what I want in my own adventures. And to that end, I have never run up a test party...

Ooooo! Those are neat. Nicely done. (I wish I had creative abilities...)

I think that Paizo's book "Ultimate Magic" has a system similar to this, called "Words of Power" for Pathfinder (forgive me if I am wrong as I haven't yet had a chance to do more than skim it quickly). They have key words that you can string together to create spells. Too, at the height of the...

Corporations have garbage clauses like that in their contracts, then wonder why there are such strong sentiments to restrict and remove many of the "rights" of corporations...

23) The local brothel had a two-for-one night. 24) A prospective "business" acquantance had a proposition that was too good to pass up. 25) The barkeep of their favorite inn/tavern took ill and begged the character to take care of the place until he (the barkeep) could get well enough to...

For my part, price is not normally a point of contention. However, it does play into consideration when evaluating a "toy" as compared to other areas of discretionary spending. For instance, if I could choose a free application as opposed to a 500$ application and I was planning a vacation...

One of the best "seed" generators available: your players. Invariably, they will come up with all manner of ideas, theories, and beliefs based on how they percieve the environment. And there is a good chance that most, or at least many, are wrong given what the GM has laid out in his mind and...
