Wizards often appear not to be taking conventions as seriously as the other core classes because they can scry in remotely using a crystal ball or magical pool.

Yeah alotta people were like "You didn't get nominated for any art categories!" and I was like "Seriously all things considered I can live with that".

I beg to differ.

I guess that worked.

I think the Ennies serve a different purpose for WOTC and Paizo than they do for smaller publishers. For them, they answer "Ok, the fans like this, but how much?". For smaller publishers, they answer "Have you arrived yet?" Red & Pleasant Land beat the PHB in a category or two, Vornheim (a few...

Sweet. Now if the adventurers live in a cool tower, the adventure writes itself from there

I think an adventure where someone important turns out to BE goblins (or dopplegangers, or whatever) might be a good intro adventure. That way you get social interaction and/or investigation up front before combat, but on a sliding scale depending how aggressive your players are. They can also...

Tipper Gore was wrong but her rhetoric is endlessly recycled even today. Here's a Bookslut review of her book: " She mentions briefly a 1986 study by two Cal State professors who concluded that rock doesn't negatively influence kids, then dismisses it with one sentence: "However, common sense...

If you like what someone does--especially if they're a scrappy indie publisher, the chance of getting more stuff like that increases if it wins awards. The award itself may mean nothing but the words, like words on a resume, can open the door for more of that kind of thing.

No, I favor situational cleverness over having the right thing prepared for this particular mechanic. I don't know which smiley goes with that but picture it here.

I think if you are running an old-schol/sandbox enough game (like PCs are regularly up against challenges that should get them killed by any sane measure, period) I can see it. Like my level 1 thief is trying to kill a stone giant. The giant is standing on a field of loose cantaloupes cleverly...

I run towns like Vornheim, unsurprisingly. That said: I think it's totally legit to say to your players "Look, in this game towns are boring and the adventure's on the frontiers, tell me what you need to do, anything complicated we'll handle with some rolls, and a week later you head back out...

They were wrong. :)

thanks!

Whoa, that's a lot of noms--thanks!

There is some plausible realist argument behind random encounters which leave out low-level encounters for high-level parties: -Hostile intelligent low-level creatures will assess the party as a major threat and avoid them -Unintelligent encounters can (at least on long overland trips) be...

To the OP, yes. Also: in official published products, this kind of info should always be on the map if at all possible.
