Yeah, it’s the first campaign, there’s time. Flexing the rules is a natural part of young people learning a system. My god, I think back to my teenage DMing days. I was constantly trying new things.

This is not advice for a typical DM though. If she’s a teenager (or as close to it as possible) trying to run a game for the first time then I don’t think he does need to know the rules in advance, or to have his expectations managed. That isn’t something you say to a young adult doing something...

Honestly if it’s her first canpaign, get over it. She has to find her own style and approach. Give feed back at the end, not as you work through. Nobody likes a back seat driver. Nothing that you have mentioned is game critical. Just enjoy the experience of watching your protege find their...

I guess with these things, enforcement isn't required if there is a 'chilling' effect. If itch.io think that it might become an issue it becomes easier to delist. Look at the effect of the Data Protection Act? How much enforcement actually took place vs how much companies spent trying to...

The second session is complete. A few in the group said how long a fortnight seemed to take between sessions so I offered to run weekly if everyone agreed and then I contacted them separately and privately. Everyone said they wanted a weekly session which was nice! I thought I would give a...

I read Itch.io's statement you're right it definitely talks about the australian pressure group being the reason. I guess these things all work in a climate and payment processors/websites will all be looking at this act and considering the ramifications. That said I fully accept that you know...

Have they said it’s explicitly not due to the Online Safety Act? My understanding was that Payment Providers as part of online infrastructure are still required to have the online safety risk assessments? I would be very surprised if that doesn’t include examining the companies they support and...

So it may just be a coincidence timing wise but does the UK Online Safety Act about to launch have an impact on this? I know sites will need to provide proof of age to view pornographic content, and a lot of NSFW stuff is pornographic. I get the impression the bar is pretty low. It doesn’t...

Of course. I guess my point is that its intellectual property and once you have it you have it.

When you’re buying that pdf you’re buying ideas. They can’t be taken away from you.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e : If you want a gritty and granular simulationist game with excellent production values. Which moves away from dungeon crawling to more intrigue and mystery led adventures where combat matters and has consequences. All set in a quirky world that’s like a cross...

So Cubicle 7 have been releasing small 16-20 page pdf only releases for the last 5 years for WFRP 4e and I must say they have been brilliant. They’ve usually been a mix of a bit of a theme, some mechanics, a few stat blocks and some locations. Or a short adventure with similar. Examples...

That that depends on the style. Presumably you would make them all + threads to stop folks derailing things with ‘this isn’t a problem.’ I do think folks would be more tolerant if they knew their preference would be highlighted at some point. For instance if there was a session on Adventure Path...

So if you want some sourcebooks for cities and city adventures you can’t go wrong with WFRP 4e. It’s a different system to D&D but close enough fantasy that you could convert the locations. They put a huge amount of effort into making the cities come to life with both settings and adventures...

I do think it would make a brilliant column on EN World. RPG Univeristy. Run a semester on one of the four topics. Post a lesson each week. Set some homework. Plenty of discussion on the thread. Folks could post their work to the chat for collective feedback or some volunteers could give...

Very neat and tidy! On a side note. I hope you enjoy Skull and Shackles. I played it once in the original Pathfinder and once converted to WFRP and thoroughly enjoyed both!

I once took part in a summer adventure writing course by Nicholas Logue. I seem to remember it being less than $100 dollars I think for 6 sessions, over a couple of weeks with lots of chat in between. I’m not sure how many people took part but he gave specific advice on your ‘assignments’ and I...

I agree with a lot of the comments. Particularly the telegraphing. If the party know that something can kill at zero then I think it does create a huge amount of tension.

My players fought the executioner from Dungeons of Drakenheim in their last session and it (like many other creatures) has an ability that kills the target if the attack drops them to 0 hp. No saving throw, no chance of word of healing. It was brutal and shocking - kind of how it is intended to...
