I've been there. I had a group I was running an AP for in PF1 era. I was putting a ton of work into bringing the AP to life. The players though? Yeah lots fo goofing off and all just dick and fart jokes. It was trying my patience and I was about to toss in the towel when we finished a good...

I think a good way to get over "pirates are pure scum" problem that arises is to have a good reason for pirates to exist. Often, pirates were creations of nations to terrorize their enemies which they conveniently disavowed when the time was right. So, political intrigue is a good option for a...

I thought that was every other thread now?

I, for one, can certainly wait until I have nothing else to watch on streaming to find out.

We are in the era of the 7 lunch break work day now!

The old man was great! I love how they plan to blame the fallout in the ambitious scientist.

As I try to decipher what you are saying, can you help me understand what you think "badwrongfun" means?

PF2 works in this manner, or at least much closer to it. I actually prefer the adventure day attrition model myself, but have come to the conclusion you need to pick a lane between adventure day and encounter model. Splitting the difference as 5E has, just seems to give everybody headaches.

That assumes the premise are even comparable and not an out of context topic switch. Often, whataboutism is a way to point out inconsistency but folks forget to make that point as they are engaging in it.

I've seen it enough now that I can tell when the end is coming for my fur friends :(

I had a girlfriend with BPD. Those were interesting times.

One of the pitfalls of these discussions is the idea a simulation is total reality with no game, and that a game is all game with no simulation. The truth is a bit of each is in the DNA of any RPG. The simulation is in the abstraction of game elements that are attempting to emulate the...

Opened ended includes 6 sessions as well as 60. I think the idea was that the session would go longer than average which is probably closer to 30 sessions or probably less.

Its an admitted broad generalization so not prone to being true across all time and games. This blurb itself is just one example from many RPGs of the time. Though, its interesting to note that the discussion was happening even back then so the two (of many) schools of thought have been argued...
