This being 2024 and a week out from the US election, got to get our fun and distractions where we can. Besides, 2 days out from Halloween is a perfect time to discuss zombie slavers. Or slayers. Or even zombie collectors. "What do you do with a drunken zombie...." Can zombies get drunk...

"Any monster hunter has a dark past, and a zombie slaver is no exception" So is this a slaver that is now a zombie or someone that is using zombies as slaves? If the latter, capturing zombies 'alive' probably complicates the hunt. If the former, could be a very interesting and dark backstory...

It is sad that the only use most parties have for gems and jewelry is to turn them into cash so they can buy better technology aka magic stuff. One of my friends is an amateur gemologist and will give a long description of any gem stones the party finds in scenarios he is running. The only...

Had to laugh at the perfume comment. Very unlikely that a perfume that is a + modifier for a Human will also be a + modifier for an Orc. Just ask a dog owner about things that dogs like to roll in to acquire a natural 'perfume'. Mostly it is stuff that humans will have a - modifier reaction...

Be honest, regardless of how the result is obtained, most combats are variations of Automatic, because most encounters are designed to assume that the PCs win. The Combat Threats section of PF2's Encounter design makes this obvious when the most dangerous encounter type Extreme-threat, is...

A lot depends on how VTTs generate their 'random' numbers. Are the die rolls derived from a software pseudo-random number generator or some type of truly random source? Most computer languages suck at creating truly random numbers. Probably worth asking your VTT how the die rolls are...

Unless the alleged cheater is the host, do something like "Let's shake things up a bit, Fred, you sit here, Sally, please move to Fred's old chair, etc.", making sure the suspect winds up close to the GM. Another way is to buy one of the mega sets of large easy to read dice and declare, "I...

The typical solution to 1 vs Many is Area of Effect magic. One sleep or burning hands can thin the herd fairly quickly at low levels. Different spells achieve similar results as levels increase. Note, this works both ways. A single monster can drop several PCs just as easily as one PC can...

The solution to Battlestars is Cylons. Coupled with Ewoks to kill off the At-Ats and problem solved. Don't remember when I first bought a Megamat but it is a 16mm version used at the time for Star Fleet Battles. It has a 1989 date and mentions Berkeley CA as one of the Chessex locations.

With all three sets of IP under one owner, it should be much easier to mesh all three into one system. But it may take a while.

Strikes for more money are more common in high inflation times. After the 2008 oops, inflation was low until Putin invaded Ukraine and oil prices spiked(US anyway). After that, unions normally have to wait until the current contract expires before they strike.

One also has to be aware of possible interactions of spells with things in the environment. Older versions(and maybe current) of the web spell created webs that were flammable. Casting one in a tavern to get control of the party's barbarian who decided now was a good time to rage, could well...

I looked. From the 2nd Ed PHB: The overall class is Priest. A Cleric is a priest who worships/serves a particular mythos/religion. Druid is a type of priest who serves nature(also kind of defined as a religion). Possible later supplements changed things.

Based on the picture, Nico could also be a Native American character.

Doesn't seem bad at all. He was asked a question and answered it. Not all games are ran solely to kill things. Kind of curious about the source that says "... eleven breast milk tastes minty..." and why someone needed to know about the drow product. Real life factoid - where I last worked...

Another hope for a GOG version. Trailer kind of reminds me of the old 'Gold Box' CRPG games of the late 80s~early 90s. As for graphics, I would prefer better game play over better graphics. Eye candy is good for a few minutes. Bad game play is forever, or at least until you uninstall.

As a player, I like for there to be options to bypass some encounters via diplomacy type things and/or stealth type things. Or even inventive spell use. I have seen some GMs announce before the session starts something like "Ok, we have to get through 3 combats tonight...". Adventure paths are...

Trade is often the bread and butter of many a Traveller game. Trying to impress the locals with various magic items/spells can be risky. "Its a witch! Kill it!" or "Fools, don't you know we outlawed magic after the armageddon wars of 200 cycles ago? Strip them and take them to the combat...

Glad this got resolved while Marc Miller is still with us. Instead of having a bunch of lawyers hired by surviving heirs tying the whole thing up for years with lawsuits. As for "Six guns in space", at least 3 of the Original Star Treks featured projectile weapons, one had six guns.

Are the characters from the original V5 Players Handbook interchangeable with the ones created using PHB 2024 for things like organized play? If not, then new edition. May only be a .1 increment but new edition. I find this "Not a new Edition" new edition trend more as a money grab then...
