    DnD Beyond is having quite a sale

    If you buy the books on there and play a regular game, then in 5 years it closes down.....do you think you wouldn't get your 20 dollars worth?

    Role-Players vs. Actors

    I always ask them to give me the gist. The issue they miss is that often no check will be required if they used a bit of the info I've given out to make the appropriate inquiry, speech, etc. But when I ran 5e if you go, "well I'll make a diplomacy check and I have a...3!" Well you are going...

    What paints do you use?

    DMs, when have you found it necessary to fire a player from your table?

    I haven't had to, well we told little Timmy to take a hike but that wasn't the same. Thankfully his stepdad who plays didn't get goofy about it. There have been times where I wanted to toss one player for his endless spouting of leftist politics but that has died down a bit so its gotten a lot...

    What paints do you use?

    Yes, yes you are. I often will do a coat of gloss then the coats of a really matt varnish like army painter anti-shine. Depends on if its a PC mini that will have a lot of grubby mitts on it.

    Are there any fantasy/medieval RPGs that take into account the effectiveness of different weapons against different armors?

    Most fantasy combat systems in RPG are a mish mash of weapons and armor from a thousand year period all dumped into a single point in time. Swords are prime despite falling out of favor to things like pole axes when plate armor took over. When you look at history when full plate armor took...

    Worlds of Design: “Old School” in RPGs and other Games – Part 2 and 3 Rules, Pacing, Non-RPGs, and G

    What the heck is going on with the professional RPG industry in regards to Zak S?

    I know, I was in Frank's game that got cancelled and was planning on going to his Frankenparty. But calling someone rapey is way beyond lecherous or even harrassing behavior. Note: I don't know Frank personally, but throwing rape around casually is a bit much.

    What paints do you use?

    Never had that issue with Vallejo. I give them a a couple coats of a matt varnish, army painter mostly, and haven't had issues.

    How Did I Become a Grognard?

    I was the first person I know of to use minis and I started that with 3.0 in 2000. I had older players ask me if I was trying to make D&D into a board game. :lol:

    Rappan Athuk

    I'm currently running it under S&W and ran it under 3.5 in the past, well part of it. Its a killer dungeon, old school style, and some things are there just to challenge the players and may not make perfect sense in a logical world. I just tell them logic has no place in S&W. With a system...

    Do you roleplay in 1st or 3rd person - why?

    Mostly 3rd but the odd smattering of 1st. Why? We aren't trying for an acting session and are just more comfortable that way.

    Where Have All the Gamers Gone?

    Too many avoid the hard and meaningful options and embrace the painless and meaningless. I know I did for a long time, burying myself in frivolous BS and avoiding responsibility. Can't get time back unfortunately.
