So what? In my profession, I want people who have experience with one thing but I'm happy to take people who have experience in a different, but equally challenging thing - because they have proven that they grasp the big picture of large, complex engineering problems and that they can be...

She was hired as a designer, not a developer. The designer role is someone who can see the big picture and ask "what-if" questions. It's up to the developer to turn those ideas into mechanics. Her prior experience with UI/UX development implies that she'd be able to look at the mechanics the...

What amazes me is the insinuation that she would be unable to lead a team in making products that support a powergamer style of play (or the opposite insinuation that now everything put out by her team is going to be LARP levels of roleplaying in nature). People need to stop focusing...

Vector graphics are mathematical models of shapes. They present the same image quality regardless of scaling. You can create a battlemap in CC3 on an A4 size canvas, scale it so that 25mm = 1.5m or 1 in = 5 ft or 8 in = 10 km and it will look exactly the same - no loss of image quality...

This. One of the other posts mentioned CC3 taking forever to render. If that is happening, the user is using it for something it was not primarily designed for.

The learning curve issue is, in my experience, due to the user expecting to "draw" a map. I've been using CC since the CC2 days and prior to that, had used AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop in college. If you come from a CAD background, CC makes sense. It is logical in that regard. I think...

For me, there has never been a perfectly DM-friendly adventure / module. I tend to not have a lot of time to modify and generally run them mostly as-is. What I want: 1. Text that flows. I don't want to try to provide a description of a room, start describing it, and then have to backtrack...

How about capturing *neither* and leave it up to the vast army of third-party content to fill that role? I'd argue that making a character *good* at something another character in the party isn't good at is not power-gaming. Power-gaming generally focuses on maximizing one thing to the...

But, but, but... What will people with too much time on their hands do if they can't use it to express manufactured outrage over non-issues that don't even matter to the majority of the people they are allegedly defending against said words?!?! My God, man - where's your sense of fake...

Why? Why focus on either of those two extremes instead of focusing on the majority of gamers who do neither? I get the arguments of others, but I'm focused not on the "if you cater to this group, you must hate the other group and don't like their playstyle." I'm focused on the "what is going...

Yes, but unless they were the main protagonist, they pretty much met a grisly end. Odysseus maiming Polyphemus by knocking out his eye? Polyphemus eating a bunch of guys? Antinous getting a bunch of guys killed. Heck, they even have a dog die on a pile of dung... I don't think that taking is...

The out of print Twilight:2013 did a decent job of simulating wounds/injuries, going into shock, bleeding out, and maiming if you don't heal correctly.

So I'm thinking of converting several older adventures for our new 5e game. Anyone have any experience with combining/overlapping several adventure paths with addition of single or short campaign arc adventures into a multi-thread sandbox? I've had some difficulties in the past with this -...

But how many *are* saying they want a noble asian warrior with feudalism and honor? Forgotten Realms is the default setting. Kozakura and Wa are the pseudo-Japan cultures/regions. How about doing more than just lip service and let the battlemaster fill that role for non-asian samurai.

Dangerous Journeys (I have a complete set of the published books), Delta Force, Twilight:2000 (colplete set), TORG (complete set), Spycraft 1.0 (complete set), and DC Heroes 1.0.

Star Frontiers, Marvel Super Heroes, Twilight:2000, Delta Force, Lords of Creation, TORG.

The most difficult part of using published adventures for me? One of two things: 1. One little tidbit of info obscurely buried on page 123 that affects something on page 7 (Mysteries of the Moonsea I'm looking at you...). 2. Adventures written so tightly to a specific campaign setting that it...

Depends. Did you flip open the book to the creature and use as-is or did you spend an hour taking it and modifying the stats to something else?

For me, i just use published settings and adventures and modify to suit. Then instead of having to spend time thinking up plots and npc backgrounds, you can work out multiple plot threads to plan for multiple directions that the players could go. Npc stats? I reuse alot, and only fully stat...
