I'm sure your DM will say "Yes".

He is revered by elves who like to cut themselves.

I told you so.

I got it! 'Crepitus'.

'Poetic Justice'. Edit: But I like 'Dirge' best.

Mate, excellent. Couple of spelling errors/typos but overall a quality article.

Clearly we have different definitions of 'cinematic'. The definition I use, which I took from Steve Jackson's GURPS, equates to "following dramatic conventions". As Celebrim said above, you could use the term 'dramatic', except I believe 'dramatic' is clearly-enough defined to refer to the...

Now you're equating 'cinematic' roleplaying with the entertainment medium known as 'cinema'. They are related (obviously) but they are not the same thing. Why are you trying so hard to prove me wrong? I have stated my opinion and you continue to misrepresent me in some kind of puerile game of...

Narrow-wide-narrow? I've never heard it described that way before (I've also seen the oxymoronic 'scripted sandbox') but that's how I try to run my campaigns. I think if you were going to publish that kind of thing you'd first need a general setting - either a fully developed region or a bare...

But they're not, are they? The term 'overwhelming' used here is a cliche. If it was truly 'overwhelming odds' then the protagonists would lose wouldn't they? Ok but do you see that the chase is now a conflict between the protagonist's ability to get away vs the antagonist's ability to catch...

And his mate Rupel Boom.

You might not be confused but judging by some of your responses in this thread your comprehension appears to be lacking. I understand English may be your second language so please don't take this the wrong way. The key to understanding my statement is one little word - "the levels of the...

I homebrew and I'm not particularly creative so I'm always interested in adventures and other 'fluffy' stuff. I'll even convert material from other editions - in 4e it's super easy. Central to my homebrew is a version of Green Ronin's Freeport with the serial numbers filed off. I also use a...

A wyrmpriest named after a Croatian football club? Nice one. :D

I know what you mean. I first read 'cinematic' used that way in a GURPS sourcebook and it was confusing at first. But I've since gotten used to it and if you play around with Google you'll find plenty of other rpg discussions where it's used in the same way. 'Dramatic' more implies the quality...

Me too. In fact, I'm inclined to thinking the PC classes should only apply to PC's, while NPCs should be based on entirely non-mechanical concepts and then statted up as needed. This is a far cry from my views under 3.X where I felt the need to determine the societal roles for each class; the...

So true. As a narrativist who has to constantly remind himself not to railroad, the quality of stories I expect to emerge from my games are never better than what you describe. I'm not sure that a story like LotR ever could emerge from a fantasy RPG. I know that when I DM I'm happy with the...

I think you're confusing the use of 'realism' regarding PC power level (as in, PCs are only as powerful as real-life people might be) with 'realism' in the sense of real-life instances of random chance being "stranger than fiction". There are many real-life stories that, while being...

I was so excited when this book came out, and was immediately convinced that 3.X was forevermore unplayable without it. This all made me realise it was time for a new edition.
