"How did that happen?" someone asks. And I realize that I hadn't even noticed it happening.

Based on the interview, we know he DOES often have some prepped encounters and terrain builds that don't make it into the game because the game heads in a different direction. That said, I'm sure some game sessions are more predictable than others and can support more reliable prep and that...

And if there are some of those moments, I think it's fine because that's what the rest of us are dealing with as well in our shift to 5e.2024. It's OK for them to model how tables can gracefully handle these things when they come up.

That's how we all started. Keep at it and you'll start to feel more comfortable at it.

If it works for you to do so, consider not making the plot line you're designing so heavy that you can't also work in interludes of other, smaller adventures - people to help with short quests, smaller ruins to explore, monsters to chase away from vulnerable populations, etc. Those will be...

I actually tote that in my game bag for the FR game I'm running now. I'm running 5e, but everything's compatible enough. It's a fun and evocative little supplement, particularly for the food.

Some groups like the style role playing out major shopping events - mainly magic items and other unique stuff - others don't. But my experience is also that shopping role play is very different with 3-4 players compared to a table with 6-8 players. I think role playing out shopping has come in...

I aspire to be more than a Cautionary Tale.

Every once in a while, I am reminded of exactly why I made the decision to ignore someone on these boards. Thank you, Past Me, for looking out for Present Me... on this topic anyway. We'll discuss my health later.

I got an instance of it happening today and, after mentioning it in the other related thread, I'm posting the broken URL here in case it helps...

Both the 5e.2014 and 5e.2024 define getting something out of the bag of holding as an action (Utilize action is specified in 2024). The handy haversack also takes an action in 2014, but in 2024 it can be done as a Utilize action or a bonus action (player's choice).

Nah, still happening to me - multiple times today. Happening mainly on my older iMac with an out of date version of the OS and Safari, so that's probably one reason it's leaking through any potential security.

I definitely have questions about how things were with Orion around the table BEFORE the show. Did the show, and the potential to ham it up for a valuable audience, bring out these play issues or make them worse? Were they already there but took on a toxic dimension in a public forum?

Well, Force sensitivity does seem to be potentially heritable. But that doesn't seem to be the only factor involved - at least not officially. It just seems like heredity is the major factor because people keep writing the stories about the Skywalker and Palpatine families rather than everyone else.

JHC, not that stupid viewpoint again! Yes, I said it. That viewpoint IS stupid and people who hold it should be ashamed.

I think there's a pretty good argument to be made that the casuals understand one very important thing about Star Wars that the hardcore fans don't: the movies are an entertaining way to spend a couple hours at a time and aren't really anything more than that.

They did leave Bill at the entrance to Moria (he managed to flee successfully). And, yes, they did divide up Bill's load, but it is also explicit that they left things there that they though they could do without - particularly the cold weather stuff they had packed for the mountain passes. So...

Looks like Disney is back-pedaling on the Kimmel suspension. Of course, they're saying it's because they've had fruitful discussion with Kimmel in the intervening days, but I think it's more likely that the immediate and vigorous boycott pressure has got them spooked.

:rolleyes:

And Black Lives Matter - which I see referred to fairly often on the interwebs. Brennan Lee Mulligan adds yet another BLM to the mix.
