For those who don't want to click: @Totalpartykillproductions, is this your clarification? If not, may we have it? Me, I'd probably fire the above player, because he/she A) wants to avoid encounters, B) seems to think the campaign world is an objective place, or worst of all C) is...

D&D causes a lot of "sometimes I wonder" moments. Sometimes I wonder how I can hit a charging enemy dead-on with my longbow and still have to fight him close-quarters afterward.

Yikes. It seems that Krorks were a celestial-war combatant/faction, so I wouldn't be too worried about them. Mythology being what it is. But the orcs of Warhammer fantasy are: " . . . huge slabs of muscle moving underneath tough green skin, and their jaws are lined with vicious fangs that...

More spells! I must have been a wizard in another campaign, because I can never have too many spells in my spellbook.

I usually send my pet gelatinous cube to go first. The mention of the bowman in the back made me think that game rules play a part in formation too. Because behind everyone else is a terrible place from which to shoot - unless the game you're playing doesn't require lines of (miniature) sight...

There it is. Some of us hate bards, and that's okay. But secretly, we love them. When a reply page capped at 10 replies only shows 7, it's because someone has ignored you. Before you click "post reply," make sure the previous reply occurred in the last 365 days. Preferably sooner.

Are other methods of acquisition fair? Got a free game? Stole it? I think my Numenera was 50% off, which felt like a steal. Anyway, Final Fantasy RPG 4th Ed. is the (a) coolest game I've never played. When classical elements replace character attributes, something cool* is going on there...

Wow. All this time, and I never realized HPS stands for Hit Point Stew. That's a tasty idea, but still a little weird in terms of "armor prevents you from spilling your stew." So, Modos RPG doesn't have hit points. Instead, characters collect damage, which don't seem like a resource that PCs...

Given that the stereotypical orc is bigger, meaner, and greener than the Mountain in this clip (NSFW), the world of humans wouldn't last too long in open war with them. Probably best if the humans kill the orcs with disease well before either culture develops steel. Or do your humans and orcs...

How different would Earth look without humans? Your answer is 2.

I'm picturing the DM inviting "all interested players" to that next session. And the DM is the only one who shows up.

This is a great interpretation of hit points until you find out about the armor class mechanism. Then one must ask, "why does wearing heavier armor prevent one from losing luck?" As you mentioned, Cypher. Also, Dark Souls RPG, if I'm not mistaken. As it should be. Let the players decide...

Um, we're still trying to figure out how to put a (hu)man on the moon. For the "second time." So I'd be GMing on the 30-years-end of that spectrum. I would totally sign up for some Space Force missions! A SSEAL mission to blow up Elon's orbital Tesla. Maybe go on a vacation to Mars with...

I feel like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy sheds light on this. To quote the entry on humans (from the fandom site): ". . . they actually still think that digital watches are a pretty neat idea, and they spend most of their time concerning themselves with moving about little green pieces...

I'm more concerned about Beyonce's mental state upon encountering Swamp Thing . . . . . . but this sounds just about right. I'm stuck on how one applies 200+ pounds of pressure to another's head without making that head explode. The RPG that simulates exploding heads sounds cool. But I digress.

There is no role-playing game that supports Beyonce on a team with Swamp Thing. Well, maybe Paranoia. Anyway, I'd like to see Bilbo Baggins in 2M, and/or Doctor Strange.

Or not be able to project things into the future. I think it would be a fine window if the astronomer could send her data 100 years further into the future, to a thoroughly-polluted Earth. "Why didn't you tell us this 200 years ago?"

This is something AI would do. Humans like to hold on to their vile ideas. I'm onboard. The (many) world in which a time traveler pops up out of nowhere (or in place of the air particles that were previously there) isn't non-existent. It's just way, way down on the probability scale, so no...

Norton says it's a phishing site. Maybe try blocking it on your browser.

These are all significantly better role descriptions than whatever the heck the Dungeon Dudes were trying to say about "Utility." . . . but I would call the "Leader" a "Commander" instead. And the "Guide," a "Steward." So the Pathfinder can remain "Pathfinder," who leads and guides. Did the...
