  1. Imagine That TTRPG

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    When I was running D&D 3.5e, it was the Medusas for me. What do they want? What are their motives? I don't know. I just couldn't connect. I had to recreate them as Gorgons, my own version. Many other DMs say Illithids or dragons. This doesn't have to be specific to D&D. Which monsters do you...

    Thanks for the clarification. Oh, I love that divine magic system, though! I used to do that kind of thing in D&D (Divine Favor), but I had to create the mechanic for it myself.

    It would be Pathfinder for me. I loved D&D 3.5e's crunch, and I still use it even though I'm incorporating PF 1e's expansions, like the newer Inevitable types. I started with Dragonlance Adventures (AD&D 1e) when I was a kid. It was my older cousin's book and I loved it. I ran games with that...
