You know this is a game and not a creative writing assignment for the players, right? You are making the assumption that a) the players WANT to write that much stuff about things that don't directly affect their character (i.e. a thousand year history for a country in my campaign world), and...

I already answered it. Why are you asking it again?

What is the purpose of this question?

World building has almost nothing to do with "puzzle solving play". That's adventure/dungeon design. Worldbuilding is simply that - building the world that the PC's adventure in. The gods, the cultures, the races, geopolitical relations, secret organizations vying for power, forgotten...

Yup. Bias. And I'm getting the impression from your posts that you think this is somehow a bad thing. It sounds like you think GM's shouldn't engage in "worldbuilding".

I'm curious - what is your agenda here? The biased way you are phrasing your questions sounds like you are trying to build a case for something. i.e. The term "audience" in this context denotes passivity, rather than players taking an active part in the game. Why do you make this...

Worldbuilding: Creating a world that I, as the DM, find interesting. I then set up adventures within that world. Adventure design: Creating encounters and plot lines that the players find interesting and challenging. Dungeon design: creating a dungeon layout that may focus more on puzzles...

I can only applaud the steps the administration has taken to protect the gaming populace from the Demiplane of Dread-ful modules.

Such hostility towards someone who only agreed with you. For shame. I can only applaud your vigilance as the voice of moral authority. One can only imagine what a terrible state the game would be in without you tirelessly telling everyone else how they are playing the game wrong. You...

I guess you're right. Absolutely the only reason anyone would willingly play a Barovia mod is for that one specific magic item. None of the other adventures are ever played. Your claims about the petty desires of your fellow AL gamers are undeniable. We are all terrible people and...

Well...I guess "Tedious and annoying" counts as unique. But I'd rather have fun.

Since they specifically state "When you use this feature, any damage you take of that type also bypasses one stage of resistance." ...Yes, it's probably intended. But only Herosmith14 can say for sure.

The way it's written, if you use Overwhelming Blows to reduce Slashing, Piercing, or Bludgeoning immunity/resistance, you will likewise reduce your own immunity or resistance to that type of damage. i.e. if you chose slashing damage, your enemies have their immunity reduced to resistance or...

Hey, don't murderhobo my fun.

Pretty unlikely, as I don't think I've been "shaming" myself in any way. But feel free to be as judgmental and condescending as you wish, it makes no difference to me. I'm used to it around here. Personally, I despise social manipulation tactics like this and actively resist them. I find...

And you think you are portraying yourself in a good light right now? Interesting. In any case, your unsolicited opinion has been noted. Thank you for your input.

Ah, that is what was needed. More pointless posturing in the form of sniping from the sidelines, because that never makes things worse. :hmm: Anyone else have anything they need to get out of their system? Now seems to be the time do it. :D

Yes, I've been properly shamed and put in my place by your public castigation. Bravo, good job, and so forth. So, are you good now? Do you need a hug? A cookie? Something else? Just say the word. I'm here to help. Anything to stop derailing the thread with even more pointless...

Funny, I thought it was more like someone being mad about not getting their way so they aggressively repeat their argument while preemptively dismissing any disagreement. But that's just a guess, I could be wrong. :) In any case I understood their argument the first time, and them repeating it...

You are simply repeating yourself now, so feel free to re-read my previous response to this "point" of yours.
