Well, there's cheating and there's cheating, right? There's a reason the common practice of DMs ignoring the results of die rolls at times is called 'fudging' and not cheating. And that's the crucial thing you need to ask yourself: "Will we have a better time if I'm cheating now, or not?" When...

No, it's not. And here's a great example why: You may not have heard of it, but in Germany the 'Echo Music Prize' which used sales numbers as the main criteria for the award has (finally!) been canceled this year. Here's the relevant quote from wikipedia: Unfortunately, the number of sales is...

Do you feel that FFG's Star Wars RPG was inspired by CCG's, as well?

You mean enthusiastic and excited? 4e was the best edition of D&D, period.

I've had tons of fun playing my Dragon Magic Sorcerer.

Soo, you're basically saying the wikipedia article is wrong (or at least inaccurate)? Maybe you should edit the wikipedia article!

Overlooked this somehow: That is exactly what you should do. Why adjust your challenges if the PCs are being stupid? Let the players learn from their mistakes. My motto is that a dysfunctional party is a problem that solves itself. Normally it shouldn't take more than one TPK to get their...

It's been a while since I played Runequest, but I cannot remember a single incident where a character hit himself due to a fumble. Losing limbs (or heads) was a quite common occurrence, though. I really liked how lethal ranged weapons were in Runequest (especially the once that could impale).

Nope. I once included a 'flashback' episode where the PCs got a chance to play through a past event, but I'd never include actual time-travel.

Sooo, he doesn't mind sitting out the combat encounter with the seven other players having a good time? Then, I guess, there's no problem at all. It also seems that in your games it isn't dangerous to go off on your own. If you want to discourage that behavior you may want to want to change...

The Sword Coast map looks great, but the dungeon maps are way too busy for my taste.

In other words you actually agree that even if magic items are for sale, it's not a way to burn money. P.S.: Looks like this thread exploded over the weekend. TL;DR, unfortunately :(

Umm, yeah. I think your examples are increasingly far-fetched in order to prove your point. When we're at a point where 'a particular item’s history does not include any known instance of being sold does not mean that NO items of that kind were ever sold.' there's no meaningful discussion to be...

That actually doesn't sound all that different from an Ars Magica RPG session of a Tribunal of the Order of Hermes meeting... The fun lies in trying to further your political (or financial) agenda by making deals. There's lots of roleplaying opportunities in trying to get others to vote in your...

A Transformers spin-off? Yuck!!!

I also enjoy Euro games _and_ RPGs. However, I still care about theme, so I prefer Euro games where the mechanics have at least some resemblance to what they're supposed to represent in the game. Still, if the game mechanics are great, I'll play it. E.g. 'Glen More' is superficially about...

That actually looks like a rather decent list to me. I think, the revised skill system may be the thing I actually like best about Pathfinder 2.

Easily. In the Ars Magica RPG it's the default. In fact, supplying mundanes that do not belong to your Covenant with magic items is reason for exclusion from the Order of Hermes. In addition, almost all magic items are designed to only work for their intended recipient. They're useless for...

What the heck is a swatch bucking movie? (English isn't my first language, so my apologies if it should be obvious...)
