Honestly I've never seen any part of my rpg playing as acting. Storytelling, maybe. Now from what I've seen when DMGs do try to add how to handle different types of players it has a tendency to fall into som half baked pseudo psychology. Your milage may of course vary. But what if every combat...

Hopefully they can keep this in stock until I can get ahold of my budget situation. The Mushmen do seem to be good at doing reprints though, if the product warrants it.

Not sure this is what I meant. Mine was a question of simple and fast vs. simple and slow. Could a simple system be made more interesting if each roll of the die came with greater risks? Slowly depleting hp can feel like a slog but is that really the fault of simple mechanics? Slowly depleting...

For the people who don't like combats that just go: I attack, I hit, roll damage, I wonder how you all would feel about this kind of system if each attack might be lethal. I mean most modern fire fights are just people shooting at each other until someone gets hit. It doesn't sound all that...

Thankfully this discussion is about ttrpgs where the GM doesn't roll and not about the validity of the poll itself. Please take part in said discussion if you have something constructive to add. I highly doubt anyone would want to spite you. Lol indeed.

I mean sure, but it would still work just fine. Don't really agree with that interpretation. Three of the answers begin with the concept being fun for someone, not that it sucks for someone. We basically got the first two answers saying it's 50/50, the third answer saying it's great, fourth...

Yeah, adding it to 5e would be weird but I do think adding it to D&D (in a future edition) could work just fine. A benefit of only having the players roll is that it opens up the design space for reactions a whole lot more. When facing an attack they might dodge (roll DEX), block (roll STR)...

I like all kinds of rpgs, even the player-facing ones. Like some have said though they need to be designed towards that purpose. For those saying D&D could never have it though I think a new 6th edition reworked to have only player facing rules would probably work just fine, especially as D&D...

Well I was advocating for ttrpgs being a hobby people would be able to afford but I guess "reality" and "life" is working against me so discussion over I guess.

I don't know anything about apples or oranges but I do know that $20 is a huge amount of money for me so please don't presume that your economic situation translates to everyone else. I also don't like the thought of normalizing having to pay to play ttrpgs. It makes the hobby less welcoming. If...

It might sound cheap compared to a sandwich but when other people are having just as much as fun for free, $20 becomes quite the ask. Add to this the requirement of 40 sessions in a year and a minimum required presence of 75% putting the total cost at a minimum of $600/year or $800/year for full...

I would never pay a single dollar just to play in any campaign. This new world of GMs for hire is complete madness to me, an unspeakable and unknowable madness from beyond time and space. If I ever got to the point where I felt, either GMing or playing a ttrpg, was like a job to me, I would quit...

As someone who used to buy books from covers alone, none of these would ever make the cut. Modern cover design has definitely turned sour for me. As for the question at hand I do feel like things have become more and more self-referential. OD&D was influenced by external things but over the...

On Playstation I recently played through Ultros followed by Jusant. Now I'm trying Dark Light but I'm sure if I'll finish it or not, On PC I've tried a lot of stuff from my pile of shame recently, finished Puzzle Agent (for the second time), and I'm kind of getting into Gestalt: Steam & Cinder.

Fading Suns.

You thought you were clear but this: Is the post I think people got stuck on, were you claim it´s a struggle getting players for other RPGs and that they are expensive book ends. This is not written in a way that conveys that the message is only relevant to you. I'm sad to hear that you have...

But we won it too... Right?

I'd like to say monthly but all my friends live far away and we do miss some months due to scheduling difficulties so "a couple of times a year" it is.

Playing 5e since the 80s IS quite the achievement you time wizard.

Well. There sure have been some discussions about orc and whether they are evil or not and whether WotC can decide if they are evil or not and so on an so forth. One thing that most of us actually do agree on however is that anyone can play their game anyway they want and decide how they want...
