I think that sums up at least half the problems at any given table.

A lot of people skip words when they speak or write. It’s okay. We all do it. But if those skipped words are the key to understanding the whole, you’ve failed at clearly communicating. Part of being an editor is pointing out when words are skipped, rendering the communication unintelligible...

When I compare the two, there's no "demoting" going on. If anything, The Incredibles sets an impossibly high bar that no official Fantastic Four movie has come even remotely close to approaching. I don't think The Incredibles is a knock-off FF. I think it's very clearly a love letter to the FF...

Rowan Atkinson played Doctor Who for a Red Nose Day special, Curse of Fatal Death. Rowan Atkinson played Blackadder with a constant companion, Baldric. Rowan Atkinson played the amazing Mr Bean. This is all one character. The Doctor. Mr Bean is his regeneration madness. Blackadder is...

Passed it. Don’t know when.

Maybe try again with it as a [+] thread.

Finally got around to watching this. It wasn't bad. Not great. It felt really flat to me. It's the best official FF movie by a mile, but it's still miles behind The Incredibles. Most of the emotional stuff felt forced, not earned. The CGI in places looked really cheap, like on Reed's stretching...

Plus the reloading time along with the rare and expensive ammo and powder.

Ashly had basically nothing to do with it. She wasn’t going all out in the fight, which is what the diehards expected, so she caught flack. It was a fight they knew they couldn’t win being down 2-3 PCs. But they forced it anyway. Taliesin’s character was a blood hunter. They gain power by...

Happy, content people don’t choose to leave hearth, home, and loved ones to venture forth and murder their way across the world for fortune and glory. There are a lot of bad cliches in backgrounds, sure. But you’d have a far more cozy game than most want if the PCs were happy and content at home.

Option 1, don't use those characters. Option 2, pistols 1d8, rifles 1d10. Ignores armor, so always vs AC10. Damage dice can explode, i.e. roll max, roll again and add. No limit.

And when you realize pedantry is all the poster has...

Not the same but similar, I keep thinking Call of Cthulhu would be a great game system for running Curse of Strahd.

Modiphius’ Discworld. Gloriously absurd chaos. And punes.

About 25 years ago, modern mechanics (for D&D at least) was the unified mechanic. Roll 1d20 + mods vs TN. Ditching all the different dice used in the various subsystems was considered new, innovative, and modern. But, for some reason, all those subsystems remained. Now I think modern mechanics...

I think it would have to be a Bollywood musical be be as epic as it would need to be.

Some people love to use knowledge as a weapon, unfortunately.

As long as the open up Dark Sun on the DM’s Guild.

For gritty but fun gaming, Dragonbane. For Pirates of the Caribbean + Evil Dead, Pirate Borg. For subtle absurdism, Modiphius’ Discworld. Or really any style as it’s incredibly light and versatile. For over-the-top absurdism, Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme.
