One of the more useful classes I had in college was Technical Report Writing. The gist of the class was how to write about technical stuff for non technical bosses. Basics are: Keep sentences short. Noun, verb. Noun, verb, direct object. Avoid connectors like and. Avoid using commas as...

The law level system in Traveller often limits the weapons and armor you can carry around town. Start a fight in a high law level bar and the PCs might be limited to high tech cloth and maybe a knife. The bar owner might counter with a shotgun or ACR. A 3 round burst from the ACR @ 3d6 per...

Have played Traveller since the 1st ed black bock set. Most of the folks I game with now have done enough of the Accountants in Space type games that we really don't want to do that anymore. I don't like doing my own taxes or balancing my checkbook in real life. Why would I want to run a set...

Chiggers. Those micro devils are the bane of outdoor life.

Good to hear. Would really suck if some <bleep> person decided that vandalizing this project was something that needed to be done, for reasons. Similar to the person that took out the 10 commandments monument I linked to. We have also had a couple brass/bronze statues stolen in part, probably...

While I think this is a cool project, I really hope the city is planning on building some kind of protective barriers around the table to prevent something similar to this: Ten Commandments Monument (Oklahoma City) - Wikipedia Scroll to Vandalism. I still occasionally run into folks that...

If you are going to make the player running a character trying a seduction attempt to 'play it out' then be fair, and make the player running a character trying the cinematic tumble over the table, stand up behind the barbarian and stab said barbarian in the back to 'play it out' using that...

One problem with massive debt, aka owning a Traveller ship, is while the characters may seem cash poor, there is usually enough cash flow to cover most small items a traveller might want. When the mortgage on a small ship is $10+ million credits, siphoning enough off a monthly payment to cover...

The environment will also be hard on equipment. Tents and bedrolls are better rolled for travel after drying if it rained last night. Might delay travel for several hours. Scrolls and books don't play well with rain or even heavy dew. Metal things might need tending after getting wet. That...

Another way the GWM can lose a weapon is some variation of disarm. In 3.5, I had a monk who had spent the feats for disarm and had great fun taking the opposition's powerful weapons away from them.

If the character is important, it stays with the party. Ran by either the GM, an existing player temporarily, or a new player. When possible, the character gets eased off the stage. Unless the new player really likes the existing character. Might as well be mostly honest with why the player...

Suggest finding a small module and run that first. Get used to being on the DM side of things. If possible temporarily break the group in to 2 groups of 4. Run each group through the same module. Fix mistakes from the first run in the 2nd. These learning runs can use temporary characters...

The players made a decision to dump Int for reasons. Now you expect the DM to give you a Get Out of Jail Free card because the dungeon is Int based. Nope. The party is stuck with it. One option is go back to town and Hire a competent secret door finder. Seems you are loaded with Chr so...

Ditto on the being fixed. Good job and thanks!

If I am NOT logged in, can see the last page fine. And even post a reply(but it then asks for a login, after which it will post.) But once logged in, the error returns even on the reply just posted.

Yes, getting same thing.

There, fixed. ;)

My problem is sometime remembering too well. Was that spell/rule from PF1,3.5,3.0,2,1,Original?

All this encumbrance talks sure highlights the advantage the Dwarves used to have(still have?). Naked or shambling mound of gear, they move 20 ft. The different speed thing is a separate issue. A lightly loaded human with a feat/trait that adds 5+ feet to the basic speed, so 35 vs an...

I think you left out the part about dealing the cards out to each player to form a supply hand. At least your advantages imply each player has a hand vs drawing the unknown top card for each die 'roll'. Assuming player hands, interesting idea. One possible downside is if a combat(or other...
