Also, if this is the Road to Brockhurst, it is specifically designed to be an adventure for an experienced GM to use to run a demo, rather than an adventure meant to teach the game to the whole group. The latter exists: that's the Delian Tomb, which is a steal at $10 for the PDF.

Negotiations generally use 2d10+Reason, Intuition, or Presence, with the possible addition of +2 for a useful skill. Depending on the situation and the argument made this doesn't have to be an overtly social skill – you might be able to persuade a faction leader to support you in an attack by...

The pregen Fury has Brag and Intimidate, and you might be able to make a case for Nature. They also have Intuition and Presence 1 which isn't bad. Depending on which pregens you're playing, there's also: Wode elf troubadour: Brag, Flirt, Perform, Persuade, as well as Read Person that should...

No-one had Brag, Empathize, Flirt, Intimidate, Lie, Perform, or Persuade? Or even a good Reason, Intuition, or Presence score (you don't need to have a skill to roll a test)? I'm assuming you mean a Fury? Furies with 2+ Ferocity get a bonus to Knockbacks equal to their Might or Agility scores...

Depends on how much beans she's been eating.

No, responding to that thread with a specific person who misappropriates everything from My Dude would probably not be a good idea.

I think those would generally be regional things. So a character from, say, Isger would know the basics of the Chromatic dragons (OK, I know the classic chromatics and metallics got retconned out in the remaster, but bear with me) and have to roll to know the basics of a linnorm, while someone...

I don't think her mirror universe counterpart is joined (it seems to be inconclusive in primary canon but there are novels specifying she's not), which would make her just mirror Jadzia.

Right, it's not where it originates, but I think a significant number of people got the association from there.

I wonder how much of the association of kobolds with "dog men" comes from the original Baldur's Gate CRPG, where you run into plenty of kobolds early in the game and they have the war cry "Yip yip!" In addition, you have the Best Kobold in the Sunless Citadel, Meepo, who has managed to hatch...

Sweden also has the "day-fine" system. It usually only applies to moderate crimes – speeding, for example, has fixed fines (though in extreme cases you can also lose your driver's license and sometimes even go to prison). But driving without a license would get you a certain amount of day-fines.

I like how Pathfinder 2 has a skill for Society, which basically covers everything dealing with people ("local history, important personalities, legal institutions, societal structure, and humanoid cultures"). I'd extend it to knowledge of some geography as well, at least as pertains to various...

It is a legit banger.

Since this thread popped up again, I made a realization about the FF movie: there's nothing really memorable about it. It's all competently done, but there's nothing there on the level of pre-serum Steve throwing himself on a fake grenade, or "There are always men like you", or "Are you the God...

One of the most common pitfalls I see in skill-based games is skill inflation: too many skills, at least in games where the baseline is incompetence. It's easy as a game designer to see a situation and go "Oh, we don't have a skill for that, and it doesn't fit neatly into one of the other ones...

A trap by itself is rarely fun. A trap as part of a larger encounter, where an enemy can push you into a pit trap or something, can be great fun.

I remember some time before Wizards bought D&D Beyond when they had a survey about what kind of electronic tools and VTTs people were interested in. I don't recall the details, but I'm pretty sure 3D stuff was mentioned in it. So that might have been the start of Sigil.
