Thanks! I hope other people have fun with it. It's been fun exploring the system so far :)

Yeah, that's how I roll. Just do what I want to do. Makes life a lot better :) Oh, yes. I quite like how positive this thread is, and how it's stuck to 4e. It's very refreshing. Yeah, that was a lot of fun for me as the DM. The Scout player is hoping that now he won't be marked to live (since...

Alright, we played this last Saturday for about six hours. I would've written it up earlier, but I wasn't in the mood, so I didn't. So there you go :) So, last session ended with the party taking an extended rest after an intense fight with two vampires of Vecna and a cooperative hill giant. To...

It looks like seven seasons is their plan, not six. From March of this year:

From a "moral" perspective, all alignment did was say "this guy is Good" or "this guy is Evil", but the choice of what to do, and what was right or wrong, was still up to the players. I have no idea what you guys are talking about as far as "decision points" go. I haven't been following your...

I'm don't think I'd say that alignment isn't really good or bad at getting in the way of grappling with moral problems in general. I could see it limiting debates if people use it that way, but that wasn't my experience. Well, that's where the debate of "right versus wrong" trumped "Good versus...

I gave a couple examples a while ago of NPCs in my game. One was an Evil Monk. He certainly didn't think of himself as Evil, and he explicitly rejected any magical interpretation that identified him as Evil (an exceptionally trusted NPC Paladin identified him as Evil in front of the party when...

I'm really happy for these things, too, so no need to express appreciation to me! I'm glad that people participate, offer ideas, and look at problems for me in good faith. There's a lot of good stuff in this thread that I had nothing to do with, and I really hope it helps other people. (I think...

Yeah, it's good enough for me to work with for when it comes up again. Crazy story, but entirely believable. Which is why I don't really mind using something like "able to take wounds that might kill you if you weren't as inspired" as an excuse for the narrative reasoning going forward. It...

Haha, I think I'll pass. I try to avoid commenting in those threads... Obviously it's not as structurally sound as a normal d20 for various reasons. I was just kind of surprised when it split in half in the middle of the session after several years of use. Not a huge deal, but it kinda shocked...

Also, what are the odds of a d20 breaking in half? This happened to me while rolling my flashy d20 (this one). It kind derailed the game for about ten minutes.

Kind of a "their body can physically take more damage because their mind wants them to live via external inspiration (that they may have even picked up unconsciously)"? I actually might be able to swing that. Thanks Manbearcat :) I could use something like this, too, as long as the enemy was...

At one point, the 14 THP granted by the Fighter to the downed Scout did stop him from reaching negative bloodied. So this has indeed happened in my game. Also, I'm not sure how to use THP once they're down. Even if the PC gained the THP while conscious, when they then take damage while...

Okay, my questions. Sometimes, the PCs have an effect that gives out temporary hit points (most notably the Fighter's Inspiring Fortitude power, and the Sorceress' Bolstering Speech power). Narratively, I'm at a loss at how to describe these extra hit points once the PC is dropped. As far as I...

Alright, I had another session this past Saturday, but due to a new friendship, my time has been whittled down. So, writing up the session late (we played for about five hours). Sorry! Alrighty. We left off with the PCs in the dwarven city, after having delivered the prince's body to the king...

Haha, funny ninja robot. Cool stuff.

I know you don't.

EN World won't let me quote you right now, so I'm replying as best I can. I actually gave an example that you cut from your reply. Isn't that convenient? The +5 won't apply when it's not threatening. To most strangers (especially violent strangers whose space you've invaded alongside heavily...

Interesting. Well, go crazy. Not that there's much for you to make character-wise (it's only one page, and most of that is system), but I'm interested to see your take on it :)

No kidding. Want me to start replying with snark, too, or is this one way? Too late, I guess. If I don't know a creature, and it draws a sword, I'll likely take that as threatening. Same thing with someone casting a spell. There are situations when this isn't threatening. "Let me cast a...
