Well 3.5 players (which Pathfinder I include) Are a shrinking group 3.5 and I've played it for years and dm'd it, is an unwieldy beast. Doesn't mean you can't do great things with it but 5e is just easier, less fodder for rules lawyers and min maxers. . I dont think you'll see anything like...

Not if the consequences are bad enough they have to worry about them. And in the god of war example it might be the party Melee that have to shine when the Caster gets screwed out of magic till the God of Wars curse is lifted. They aren't Consequences if they aren't appropriate for what was...

Yeah, I liked Shannara In spite of its issues. Rings makes it look like a Masterpiece. The Seeker as well for that matter.

Tons of stuff that happen in the books never pay off. Eugene travels to alternate realities via the dream. The people behind the doors that take mat's memories but we never find out why. The whole story arc of Mat seemingly heading towards a great destiny of perhaps cleansing the SeanChean...

I'm only addressing rings of power. I think they screwed themselves with some of the liberties they took with the story. You don't pull stuff out of lost tales and the silmarillion to grab the geeks then mangle it. Like sauron not being captured and imprisoned by Numenor. The wonderful story...

The actor died in December 2023 so it was filmed awhile back. So who knows?

More of what they've been doing. But no time travel please. Unless they want to save Captain Pike and make him a recurring admiral for the reboot of the original series. If they use this model I'll be ok with one last abuse of the space time continuum

More rules like the rough stuff in the wish spell. Roll to see if you can ever do it again. What if by creating a demi plane th caster were somehow bound to it and when the caster spent too long away from it they and the demiplane diminished. What if clone or simulacrum took a permanent...

Assuming we are talking DND. Dm gets to mangle or change the rules anyway they see fit. The my world has little magic and the mage will only get his spells when I say so being the most normal abuse of the rules. D nD was built so that DM could build the train while it goes down the track...

I've stated before I have a cognitive dissonance problem with the books in my head clashing with the TV show storyline. But at least 50 percent of those books could be removed from the story and you'd lose almost nothing. (And I loved them but it's true). Also several story lines that just...

Why I said the spirit of the book 😄 which made seem crawling through a field of broken glass a preferable action

So this line of thought could be applied to nearly anything in game. Those who say it can't happen are wrong. The guy running the game can do ANYTHING behind the screen. God X makes BBEGI unable to be hit. Boom rolling die 20's in combat pointless. But the alternative is rules with less...

So get 20 people together and try to nail down what romance is......then you'll begin to understand why it will never be fully fleshed out in rules

Anything, with the caveat that the bigger the effect the bigger the consequences.

And I think this guy is dead on on why in some ways the story falls a little flat.

No spoilers but it seems to have captured the spirit of "la Miserables" the book. And that's not a good thing for a super hero movie.

oops

exactly one hundred years from anywhere. After spending one hundred years traveling till he finds a portal to wherever you want him to go, Then roll or select 1d3 flaws from the insanity spell table and tell them to play them as part of thier character. time passes for the character but...

I'll point out to players that the dice don't seem to be random. If they want we can do an extended test. Luckily I play with a set of friends these days and my rules lawyer who is as hard on herself as anyone would catch it before I would and they'd just change dice. True story I had a...

And if it were that effective a cabal of evil mages would after being shown how it works do it times 10 and overrun the world. I love the Dispel magic thing, with the simalcrum having to stay within 5 ft that's a very nifty solution. Good Catch. It's like a line of magical domino's...
