That one is a tough nut to crack. And it's -so- binary in it's structure that you really can't stop that feeling from happening. You could pull the Spring Dawning or Baldur's Gate 3 method and have everything go down in media res so that's the -plot- of the adventure/campaign, which gives your...

So I'm in the shower this morning, using a scrubbing towel to abrade all the flesh off my bones in an attempt to feel softer and also because it's absolutely amazing at scratching the heck out of any itches I might have on my back, having setting thoughts. Specifically how a couple paid DMs I...

THAT IS SO CUTE I could die. And normally I hate halflings. And you are correct on the errors!

Brigandine is the armor. Looks like this! Early D&D designers saw it and just saw leather with some studs in it, and knowing that punks wore leather jackets with studs or spikes, assumed it was the same thing! But this is what it looks like on the inside: As far as the cloth/leather...

Proof Ordered! In a few weeks I'll have it in my hot little hands!

Oops wrong thread!

That was pretty much my thought process, yeah. I knew A5e updated "Studded Leather" to "Leather Brigandine" which is what it -actually- is, and saw Hauberk and went "That's a chain shirt!" and left it at that. Though, in fairness to EN Publishing: The chain shirt people imagine was never a...

Yeeeeah. I think a shocking number of us have stories like that.

... did you read the first 9 words of that line and then stop? 'Cause that is what the rest of that paragraph is talking about.

The post you're referencing was in direct response to the idea that "Life isn't fair" gets the response "Deal with it." It went outside the bounds of discussing the game, and highlighted Lanefan's philosophy, which I characterized as "Mean". Trying to pull that back into game theory and ask if...

All the problems in the world encapsulated in a single sentence! "We should make things better than they are, now!" "No!" I get that it probably makes you feel rugged and individualistic and heroic or whatever... but it just comes across as being mean.

The idea of "Dungeon as Encounter" or "Dungeon as Boss" isn't "Megadungeon". It's "The dungeon itself, independent of the enemies scattered around it, should consume player resources." There should be traps, doors that are hard to pick, pits and gaps so wide someone needs to cast Fly or the...
