I don't know. With the size of my Carhart, a person would have a pretty good chance of missing my actual frame with a stabbing weapon... that's assuming it made it through the material. And given that I have kids with a woman from Bloody Harlan, stabbing is always a possibility.

That is a lot, but... to eat an elephant, you need to take a bite at a time. I'd start with something on the river, like a barge or boat that needs aid. They stop and offer assistance - or don't - only to later find out these were some of the river pirates, and the party had had a chance to...

Now, the game's cost, which seems to be a lot of people's complaints. But, I'd say most games seem to run between $5-20USD a session, which can make it about $5/hr. As far as 'obscure systems', now, you see mostly D&D, but you will also see a lot of various editions of WoD. I've seen Amber...

Not only have I done this a few times, but it's also a good way to get a shot at some more obscure games. Last time I went on, I saw someone running a 1e AD&D City State of the Invincible Overlord campaign... something I've not thought about since about 1987 when I joined my first real campaign.

I'm only on page 3 of the discussion, but it doesn't sound like a cohesive group. And that's not on you. You're doing the best you can to provide for them, as well as have enjoyment yourself. Having your wife not enjoy the game is also a different issue - as you said, you want to prioritize...

Agreed. And when he invents the revolver and gives it to the kid and says "When you meet the person who killed your father, stick this in their stomach and pull it til all you hear are clicks and tell them 'Lou Ricetti sends his regards.'" The engineer was THE rules lawyer. "Oh, the cost of...

Reading this reminded me of the fact that Prince Adam/He-man's mother is an astronaut from earth. I haven't personally done it in one of my games, but I'm reminded of the old novel series Guardians of the Flame. The premise was there was a gaming club, and their GM, one of their professors, is...

If you're the DM, the sky really is the limit. Traps galore. Golems that spray grease - both to be slipped on my your average Dex 10 footman, as well as to be prompting flambe'd by support flamethrower droids. The layout of his tower should be designed to optimize funneling enemies into...

This reminds me of one of my favorite gaming moments. I'm running 4e. I don't remember the module name, but it came after Keep on the Shadowfell. Party was level 7. The next problem was getting through a room where duergar had set up a blockade and were just guarding their border, hunkered...

I don't know - do you mean TSR releasing D&D or do you mean D&D three-years in from creation? My understanding is three years in from creation, D&D was being photcopied and passed around like Grateful Dead tapes. Pre-TSR

I don't know. He took that heel turn during the Slap Bet...

I think this proves my point. This HAS to be trolling. First, understanding capitalism means there are very few objectively great benevolent products. The only that comes to mind is when Volvo developed automobile seat belts, and CHOSE not to patent them for our benefits. What happens, even...

I'm an old man. The vibe I've read off of the original post, and follow-ups, really makes me think of a college freshman who just discovered communism and 'The best way is if we're all a collective and we all are equals and share' and if only us fellow proles knew what we were doing. You...

Not exactly. Using their restaurant destroying coupons analogy, the publisher comes to your house and actually destroys them.

I'm definitely waiting to see OP reply, especially if they have connection to this system. Brennan may say it's a masterpiece, but ... is he going to run Dimension 20 using that or D&D? I'm pretty sure I know the answer. Critical Role has Daggerheart and Candela Obscura, and play both. But...

Something I've found handy personally, and I don't know if there are others out there who've done this, but there's been a few 'seasons' where game designer John Wick does 31 Days of Character Creation. It's exposed me to many games I've heard of but maybe never been exposed to like Pendragon...

By 'equal at the table', what I meant to state was that the DM has an equal right to enjoyment at the table. If both the DM and the players have enjoyment from 'Well, they never check the floor for traps so I'll put pit traps in' 'Oh, now they're using ten foot poles to avoid those traps, so...

I do feel, from my experience, narrative roleplaying was 'strange' to him. Now, players were expected to take roles and act accordingly, but I don't think he was a fan of players giving Big Theater Kid Energy at the table. And as far as player vs DM mentality, I think he saw that as a...

AI will never replace our Snarf. I won't let it.... Now THAT should be the basis of the next Terminator remake.
