Mithals are rare cause rituals to create them use life force of the casters that perform ritual enchantments, to the extent that casters die creating it. It's peak elven magic in FR setting. Not many high level casters are prepared to sacrifice their lives to create that kind of protection over...

@DEFCON 1 You mean something like mithals from Forgotten Realms?

Power is relative. So, do i want my characters to be overpowered? In a game like d&d, yes. But overpowered in comparison. I want my lv 10 fighter to curbstomp and steamroll over enemies that were level apropriate challenges for him when he was level 1-5. But i still want enemies that are on par...

Well, to be honest, Erebor is shity design. Why the f would dwarf build anything with ceiling higher than say 2-3 meters. 3-6 meters top for big halls.

Yes, fantasy worlds have all kinds of creatures. Some of them have wings and fly. But, question is always - how often are these creatures threat. If they are rare, no point investing in defensive structures. If they are somewhat regular, maybe extra archers and some balistas so you can shoot...

What makes 5e "5e"? Well, books have 5e printed on them, of course. Bad jokes aside. Rullings over rules is big one. Classes with subclasses Bounded acuraccy No stacking situational bonuses - adv/dis No stacking buff spells No stacking in general - so no more AC in 40s and 50s Simplified...

@Bae'zel If it isn't to personal, you said your mother was very religious. What denomination was she? I'm curious, since i met fair share of priests with more positive attitude towards fantasy, rpgs and metal music.

From parents- none. My mom even bought me my first VtM books ( green cover with red rose looked romantic to her). They even thought it was nice. I would spend most of Saturday at my friends house. They knew where i was, with whom i was and they were happy that i was spending time socializing and...

Somewhat. It depends. For rules light system like Cairn, Knave or Mork Borg, very open to try running/playing at least one shot or short few session long campaign. Systems like those are very easy for everyone in group to learn and be decently proficient in them. As a player, i want decent...

Me neither. From what i understand, they went in different direction design wise. From what i read (haven't played 2ed), first one is more traditional, more complex, bit more grounded and tactical, while second one is more streamlined, less complex, and more narrative driven.

My group had period when we dropped D&D and switched to 7th sea 1ed. We got fed up with classic fantasy. D&d ruleset just isn't that good for no magic/low magic games, nor for more renaissance/age of sail settings. So friend and DM found 7th sea and it fit like a glove for type of games we...

It should also be noted, while original run in USA was in early 80's, in other parts of the world, first run was much later. For instance, it aired on Cartoon Network in Europe first time in mid 90's. Unless you were in some specific countries like UK or Germany, CN was only way to watch it on...

PF2 comes to mind. I hate it's layout. But game itself is solid.

I voted yes with caveat. I watched it on RTL plus in early 90s. I liked it, but since it was german dub and i didn't understand german then, i didn't really got whole story.

Limited time is biggest factor. While we do venture occasionally into something new, they are on the very light side of things ( Cairn, Knave, Mork Borg). At this point, 2 systems that we use most are 5e and Chronicles of Darkness. Those are grandfathered in since we learned them back when we...

Captain Sisko (bold and bearded version) First officer Spock (TOS) Science officer - Jadzia Dax Medical - Beverly Crusher Chief Engineer - O'Brien Helm - Tom Paris Navigation - idk, 7/9 Comms - Uhura Tactical - Data Security - Worf Unfortunatley i had to eliminae Janeway from choices, Dominion...

It solid movie. Even my wife liked it, and she's not fan of either anime or Tolkien. Only thing is, there isn't much re watch appeal in it. Unlike old LOTR cartoon or movie, this one is, in my opinion at least, watch once and forget about it.

@JediSoth People tend to forget that there was time when we weren't as connected as we are today. You either called someone at home or on mobile if they had them. And it was never one person who called whole group. You called one person, told them where and when to meet and told them to call...

One group i know and play with occasionally, only plays PF1. They know system and setting lore inside out. I ran 5e for them, they tried, didn't like it, that was that. My primary group mostly plays 5e. It's just our comfort zone and it does what it needs for most of our needs. 2 weeks ago, we...

Those sinks are usually just form of "tax" (carousing and stuff like that) if they don't add to story. Resurrection spell is nice and useful stuff, but, i don't think 5e gives us price points for spell casting services, so, how much that costs or even is it available, is for DM to decide. It's...
