Now that's a concept I can really buy into. Awesome post!

I'm really into differing mechanics for the races which can be based on culture. If the differences between the races is simply fluff with no mechanical differences, then I just usually play human.

This sounds great, but it runs the risk of being anticlimactic. One on end of the gaming experience, you'll have very fast games, but no sense of tension that builds up and the other end, you have combat grind where you're slogging through hp just to end the thing. The tension was there, but now...

Nice maps and awesome table!

I avoid side quests for players. I do like to take elements of their backgrounds and introduce them into the players' lives and make it part of the campaign or have it central to the campaign, but I don't give special treatment. Current example of a player getting the central attention in the...

I didn't realize that Mongoose released 2300AD. I wonder if it plays like the old version does which was very deadly. You had to have armor in order to protect yourself; otherwise, you were instant dead. I used the rules-lite version of 2300AD which was Traveller 2300 and loved that box. I have...

Welcome! I have a ye little one on my way. Not sure what that will mean for gaming for me, but we'll see.

My players adamantly hate props. I couldn't sell them on this if I was dying. Every time I created a card or prop, they'd just write on their character sheet and toss it back to me.

Interesting bio.

Sad news. rip

I'll have to ask my player. I don't know which one he has. I think it's the imitation Tact-Tiles. I love my Tact-tiles because they are very durable.

I have Tact-tiles. I LOVE them. The product that came out after Tact-tiles though was junk as one of my players says he has 36 of them and they are far more flimsy than Tact-tiles. I don't know, but I'm just saying what he said.

Never used.

And make them unusual in that the player has to figure them out. A time-consuming exercise, but one that has it's own rewards once the player realizes what a weapon can do and is somewhat game-breaking.

Me too. PC's should fear mob (in)justice regardless of level for that dose of realism.

Human hands down. I never liked level limits in the older editions and I liked getting the extra feat at 1st level in 3.x. I've yet to run a character in PF, but I know I would create a human if I did.

Makes me think twice about robbing a bank or pulling off a jewelry heist knowing that The Leaker is out there fighting crime.

I agree. I think media is a great source for inspiration or if you read a book and you want to emulate the plot but let the PC's do their own thing, that's cool too. I think it's better if it's a book or media that you read and let the players figure it out (or not). However, my dad was just a...

One thing should be clear is that 5e isn't going to please everyone, even the playtesters. So there's always going to be someone who says: 1. They are just appeasing the grognards! 2. They just rewrote x edition instead of improving my x edition! 3. I hate how they did [insert whatever...

The guy had me at the flat math and ability scores, but I just don't buy this: You have to raise a common class character to level 10 before you can unlock the uncommon ones. Or you can unlock them right now for 400 Wizard Points. Every PHB will contain a random selection of 7 common classes, 3...
