Awesome.

Better that than roast willie.

So the mechanics work to reinforce the genre. Perfect.

You’re trapped in a sealed underground complex that’s controlled by a centuries old malfunctioning “AI”. You must follow its orders to the letter or risk punishment up to and including instant execution. Its orders are often self-contradictory and impossible to follow. Various “high programmers”...

The Shadow Demon from the D&D cartoon made a kind of wooshing-flying noise, so yes, shadows make noise.

I have that one in my TBR pile. If people are looking for more in that vein, here's a few. Aztec Thought and Culture by Miguel Léon-Portilla. The Aztec by Duncan Ryan. Conquistador by Buddy Levy. I don't know if they're good or terrible as they're also in my TBR pile. Do you know of any good...

I mean...some of us are literally living through that right now. There's no future about it.

Spanish Celtic metal? Sure, why not.

D'oh. I heard you in DC Heroes. Sorry.

Neil deGrasse Tyson did an episode of StarTalk about the simulation. The bottom line is it doesn’t matter. If we are, we always have, so there’s no need to worry.

At least it has a name. Now how about treatment and cure? Step One. Stop using chatbots. Step Two. Touch grass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis

Wow! That's a lot. That 70 AP in weight would be 29,514,790,517,935.30 megatons...or about 1/20 the mass of the Earth. In distance, that's 2,235,968,978,631,460,000.00 miles. Which is double the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy. I does sound like a fun game though.

Ah, yes. You can sell it, but you have to also release it for free under the same CC-BY-SA license. At least those parts based on the CC-BY-SA material.

Interestingly, Ars Magica 5E was released under a CC-BY-SA, so, as long as you don’t charge for it, you can write as much of Ars Magica 5E into D&D as you’d like.

Yeah. I absolutely love clocks and timers and countdowns, etc. The montage and negotiation rules from Draw Steel look fantastic. I will be stealing those. I’d prefer that, honestly. Or something like 2-3 rounds of everyone rolling for attacks and casting spells, then count up the successes vs...

Absolutely. Different skills used, different bonuses/penalties, different TNs, different number of checks, etc. The player should be able to choose different routes and they should be meaningfully different in both story and mechanics. Agreed. This quoted bit seems to suggest the player’s...

As always, jargon prevents rather than helps communication.

Sorry. Maybe it's a communication problem. Some of these phrases clearly mean something to you but have no inherent meaning to me. "I pick the lock." "Roll for it." Does the presence of the roll negate the agency here? How do you determine which step, the decision or the roll, is the "most...

Huh. So the player getting the outcome they want is a requirement for the player having agency?
