Buying me things.

I read an article a while ago that I found really interesting. I've never used hexes, but here it is: http://steamtunnel.blogspot.com/2009/12/in-praise-of-6-mile-hex.html

Personally, I'd rather you do that in the future. When mods start modding without mod voice, it makes me wonder if I can do so as well. I can quite easily separate your mod posts from your personal opinions by the colors you use -when not using red or orange, you're just another poster, same as...

So tricks are kind of like traps that offer a boon if you solve them? I like that. The reward is more than just "you don't take the bad effect" or "have some XP" and, as you've shown, can have some weird and interesting effects (gold, stat modifications, etc.). Thanks for sharing :)

Tricks?

In my experience, as someone who's GMed a group that rolls for stats for 10+ years (save for my 4e campaign), it has been much, much more important. I'm not going to deny anyone else their experiences, though. It was, which is why I addressed it. Which is good, but do you stop players when...

I actually think the ability to impact the fiction is much, much more reliant on factors other than stats. For example, proactive players have a much higher chance to impact the fiction because they engage with it more. Players that have more robust mechanical options for changing the scope of...

Remember when we were off on that tangent about stat generation? I like that conversation so much more than John Wick's or howandwhy99's needlessly restrictive definitions of RPGs. (And I don't mind listening to John Wick's videos at times.) I know, I know, it was a tangent. Now back to arguing...

I don't use point buy, so I can only trust the online calculators, but I rolled stuff out, and this is what I got: Example 1: 1d8+8, in order: Str 16, Dex 12, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 13. (36 point buy?) 25 Point Buy: Str 15, Dex 10, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 9, Cha 12. (This one was hard to...

No thanks. I just don't feel the perks are worth it. Like the site and love the moderation, though.

Welcome to EN World! Different people have different methods, so I'll just tell you what I do, and let you determine which answer appeals to you the most. Alright, so, for most time, I just wing it, and then tally up time if necessary. For example, if people say "what time of day is it?" I'll...

I wonder if there's some sort of roll you can come up with to help with inspiration that then uses point buy. Like, roll random stats, and then go on to use that as inspiration with your point buy distribution. For example: (1) I just rolled Str 11, Dex 7, Con 8, Int 15, Wis 8, and Cha 14. (2)...

Possible. In some ways, that'd be preferable. Yeah, that was this part of my reply: "I'm open to communication, but it's my setting, it's my rules, and I make the decision on running what is fun for me. You do not get veto power. You do not get to change or add something to the rules or the...

Going to have to reply to this in parts... I started with 3.0. However, this is exactly the way I run my game. If you don't like what I'm running, then leave. I'm open to communication, but it's my setting, it's my rules, and I make the decision on running what is fun for me. You do not get...

(1) 13, 15, 9, 14, 5, 15 <----------- Obvious choice. I have some Dex, Int, and Cha, but basically no Wisdom. A thief that all the other players will hate it is! (1) 8, 10, 10, 7, 12, 8 (2) 5, 3, 12, 11, 12, 6 (2) 11, 8, 11, 11, 6, 14 <----------- Bard, I guess. One who makes lots of bad...

My players flesh out their background (some go on to make write-ups, others don't) because they like it, and because I have mechanical tools to help them do that with my RPG (charts, rewards, penalties, etc). I don't have to offer a reward for it because they already want it.

I think the only thing I feel I can add to this thread is more random (4d6) rolls. Because rolling is fun! 15, 10, 10, 11, 13, 7 7, 13, 12, 9, 8, 7 17, 10, 11, 10, 15, 11 11, 12, 15, 16, 16, 11 15, 11, 12, 16, 11, 11 12, 11, 13, 15, 16, 10 12, 13, 7, 14, 10, 6 11, 15, 10, 8, 11, 13 12, 13, 9...

That's the case in many states, as far as I know. Federal minimum wage for such workers is $2.13/hour (I think). In comparison, in California, the minimum wage is $9/hour, and is going up to $10/hour in January of 2016. However, some states require restaurants to pay the full state minimum wage...

I know. It sucks, but at least I've got another campaign going. Losing out on a campaign is never fun, but at least I'm still getting to game right now. One can only hope :) Thanks to everyone who has read the thread. I hope they found something useful or entertaining in it at some point.

Not sure when I'll be getting back to this campaign. The Warpriest's work schedule and my work schedule no longer line up. In the meantime, I've just started running a campaign for some other players (including the Knight / Scout player, my brother via Skype, and an old player of mine from years...
