"It's important, I think, to acknowledge and preserve the game's roots. Even as we create new material for the latest product, we should be looking backward to see if there are lessons to be remembered or bits of the past to bring forward" Kind of covers it there. If 5e is at the stage of...

The Godfather just shades it for me :) 'values, attachments' . . . and plenty of consequences for the bad guys in both movies. For a cynical solo TPK maybe roll-up the mates, cousins, brothers, betrothed and pass them to the players with dead PCs - along with a rumour the size of a beacon...

There's kind of an existing mechanic for this. Drop four black puddings into any given encounter and players seem to come over all co-operative in no time at all.

Another Monte Cook post at WotC. Interesting. All for playing as a team; but I draw the line at collective buffing and preening makeovers before every encounter :)

Came across this on my travels :cool:: Extra Life

You mention a 'what you really want to do' as politics. Bet there's a few more what you want to dos out there - but as an example there's nothing ruling you out of politics as a whole. The presidency might be a long way off, but campaigns need organised on many levels, political blogs need...

served as a condiment

It's always going to be necessary to house rule occasionally, as there's always going to be a player who can manipulate a magic item to game breaking effect

what motivates you enough to not procrastinate about it :)

Was just blogging on near future stuff this morning - Tabletop RPGs and Touch Tablets: Holding Fire :)

I did it for the cat. It gets a night out on the town if Morrus is away

20 years - that's remarkable tolerance. I'd have had him upside down in a wheelie bin first night

Different perspectives :) The blog post appears to be saying 'we have mechanics for perception, but they're not all they could be. If we standardize and think through those mechanics we can have a better set of mechanics for that side of the game - and these don't need to slow play if they're...

Can't XP you for the excellent answer free answer, so I'll ask the wife to like the photo on her facebook when she gets in :lol:

about Facebook, what happened with the sign-in integration that appeared the other day? Worked good first go. Couldn't use Facebook before, as it's uncool to follow the herd. However, now they're all off to graze at Google+ Facebook is a go for useful stuff :) - and you can just reply that I...

Dude - your lovely wife appears to have a familiar :eek:

I really wish you would understand what you're reading :p

Too early to say, but it looks like further mechanisation. Used to be GMs were moderators who turned to the books for crunch, but generally handled skills use and exploration by themselves. The combat crunch was then expended before skills use was also mechanised. Now exploration seems to be up...
