Smart. Do what I do and go to /reddit.com/r/badlegaladvice...

I'm thinking of changing up the "Outstare the Cyclops" contest a bit. As written, you're outstaring an illusory cyclops, which is kind of boring. At the very least, if you want to stick with that, figure out who's doing the illusion, and then give them a personality. I'm a big fan of older...

... "Moist"? Like, there's off-the-mark, then out-of-the-loop (which I usually am), and then, way-out-in-the-weeds, uh, and then wherever I am...

Yeah, that's the right way to handle it IMO. I don't hate the skill/characteristic checks, but they should be the last resort. That's why I'm trying to flesh out what the players can have their characters do.

Wizard has realized that the business model let's them profit off of the labors of dedicated fans. Why not let the DMs Guild do the heavy lifting? This is the same model Chaosium is using for Call of Cthulhu -- produce the core books and let the fans write scenarios. You have to write it! If it...

Yeah, I agree with Umbran; I like it, but it's not necessary for the module to include it. Lost Things, on the other hand, is great and should have been included. It's a much stronger hook than the warlock one, IMO, and dripping with RP potential. One of my motives for expanding the Carnival is...

Thanks, I am unfamiliar with it! I've moved my discussion meandering thoughts here, as it has no place in an out-of-context thread.

Wow, I completely forgot about the eating contest. Another mainstay of carnivals. I'll have to think what they're eating. Of course, Faeries and food have implications/complications, so I'm thinking of making it pomegranates, or pomegranate pie; pomegranate seeds are what Persephone ate that...

So there are six minor attractions given, each of which is a single characteristic roll. But the point is for the carnival-goers to have fun. Almiraj Ring Toss: Dexterity check. I'm not sure how to give this more interactivity without actually having somebody try to toss a ring onto a Coke...

So, I'm a huge fan of the Feywild and faeries in general in RPGs. And hags are among my favorite villains. And The Wild Beyond the Witchlight has some really good ideas in it, and I'm looking forward to running it at my FLGS on Wednesdays from 7PM to 9PM, like I ran all of the hardcovers...

Well, of course you would think that!* * just kidding, I think you're swell!

Yeah, some of my prep is changing some of the design decisions. Especially the ending... Right now, I'm overhauling some many of the attractions of the Witchlight Carnival. I don't like when they boil things down to a single skill check; I'd rather there was something for players to actually...

Yep, Darren Watts was doing a lot of work for them when he passed. This is a blow.

Every gaming thread is heavy lately. Which is fine, really -- it's not my place to tell people what mood they should have! But I'm trying to prep and research The Wild Beyond the Witchlight which is at least supposed to start with a sense of whimsy and wonder before getting dark and twisted...

shrinks down in seat In my defense, my father spent most of my formative years installing buttons and then figuring out just how much he could push those buttons without quite breaking the RealAlHazred. I'm trying real hard to unlearn it so that I can break the cycle of toxicity for my daughter.

When my buddy and fellow Shadowrun GM Adam Keller passed away, I went over to his place to help his roommates sort through his stuff. He was a hoarder. There was stuff everywhere. In his bedroom, I'm moving piles of RPG books from the top of the shelf, and find a loaded shotgun under a pile of...

Hey, I am complex, I contain multitudes! Maybe I want to see the world freeze!
