Henry Rollins talked about that. Everyone is someone's target group and you can judge how They feel about you by what's targetted at you. At some point, you stop getting the Columbia House 10 cassettes for $1 and start getting hearing test ads

I think my sentiment echos either John Wick or Matt Colville (can't remember who said it): When people say something is unbalanced, what they often are talking about is spotlight, and one character massively outshining everyone else

In my years, I've run into quite a bit of this. Things that have some good ideas, but they're buried under some novel 'to be different' mechanic. Say, an amazing world but it's saddled with a dice system that seems based not on odds, but on the fact the designer wanted to use a doubling cube...

Makes you wonder if he was actually just a thief that can play the lute

I'm glad to see any exposure for other games and play styles from D&D. I think having players people know playing weird characters in weird new systems probably helps too. (I did forget, somehow, about the weird scifi Nautilus Ark one-off they did... I may need to go back and rewatch that)

Agreed. But, it's still more than most APs. I guess when you have the audience numbers, you can afford to start branching out. To be honest, THIS is what I hoped for most from the OGL debacle - third-party publishers putting out products and trying to make money that doesn't involve 'the...

This is my thought as well, but you know what? When we all started out, odds are good we gamed 'wrong' -- but we had fun. Critical Role, I feel, has done a decent job of representing other, non-d20 games over the years, such as Deadlands/Savage Worlds. Monsterheart, the Honey Heists, etc...

Agreed. But my understanding with this situation is OP was a 'guest DM' covering for a session when the other DM was out. It's on the original DM, sadly, to fix this.

I'm curious what story can be told with the remaining cast. I'm thinking obviously pre-destruction of B5, pre-Sheridan's end when he goes to the Grey Havens (it's been awhile since I've watched)... but you have strong Psi Corps characters left, you have Lyta and Kosh, and you have station...

Not replacing. In addition to.

I know there's probably people reading this that really are repulsed by the set up in the original post, and feel this is 'bad player syndrome'. And I feel it a good time to reiterate some great wisdom I heard from Matt Colville before: There are no bad players. There are just players who...

I think for visibility ranges, there's also a context element to it. Unless you're out on some war patrol or hunting a group, there's a range where you can see people, and a range where you realize they're heading to your area and a range where you know you need to go full-alert. I guess it's...

Just some quick thoughts: 1) Never cover someone else's game. I think the chances of it going well can be fairly slim. It would be like if you had someone step in for GRRM and keep writing his GoT books - yes, it'll get them done MUCH faster, but... you'll run into issues like is it really...

My assumption is that it represents just being that much better with a longsword. I don't think it's any different than in 1e when you might choose a weapon based on its damage when they did damage based on the target's size (Small-Medium/Large) or worrying about what weapons went faster in...

I like Nick because I like two-weapon fighting and it feels in-line with a monster's Multiattack. It has limitations about how often and what you can use with it.

I would say it's WotC saying one thing, and a third-party doing another, or am I misreading this? If I hire someone to serve you papers for a civil matter, and they cause the kerfuffle and make your wife cry, is it my action or the people I hired?

Ahh, so we've again reached the point in the story where the controversy has led to being a way to market things to people

This is an interesting point because I have the feeling even if you're in a 'stand your ground'. However, I would imagine if you hollow point an anyone who is doing their legal job and kill them, you would open yourself up to a civil lawsuit for depriving them of their 14th Amendment right to...

The internet is indeed a funny place with this story. If I parse it together right, a Youtuber who unboxes Magic cards gets sent a box he would have every single idea is the wrong set, a set not even released yet. Wizards, fresh off their PR issues, hires a notorious (but recognized)...

Yeah, Bargle is cool, but have you ever Emirkol the Chaotic'd?
