Antagonistic players will always find a way...

Yeah, it's just one of those things. I'm glad we've moved to a point where we understand that we should be sensitive to other cultures and how they're represented. But I'm not sure how much exposure I would have had to some of those cultures without the admittedly mostly bad representations of...

Yeah, that's really tough. Have to go with either the PHB or the DMG.

I didn't misread you. But I did mistype. If the dice are rolled, the situation should change regardless of the result. The null result is a boring waste of time. Even if it's only one of several possible results. Your person on the rope example. To me, it should be either the person falls or...

That's generally how it works. Does it taste good? Then it's bad for you.

Steve Cropper, Stax Records and Blues Brothers guitarist, dies at 84. Hall of Fame session musician played on dozens of hits, ranging from Sam & Dave to Otis Redding to the Blues Brothers.

Well, that’s me changing my mind about 2-way ignore.

Some people are absolutely committed to misunderstanding everything you say or interpreting what you say in the worst possible way. There’s nothing you can do about it. No amount of explaining will ever get through. Just put them on ignore and walk away.

Same idea with Dark Sun, Spelljammer, and Maztica. Would love to see some (big or small) screen adaptations of those settings.

Always the right answer.

Eberron: The Blackwheel Company. Planescape: The Great Modron March. Against the Slave Lords. Against the Giants. Queen of the Spiders. Desert of Desolation.

Sorry. That's one I completely agree with. I'm so tired of rolling dice just to hear the sound they make when they hit the table. If the situation isn't going to change regardless of the result, don't bother rolling.

Yeah, it's just one of those things. It's a great insight into just how little grasp on storytelling a lot of gamers have though. "Why not just have Gandalf summon the Eagles and fly the Ring to Mount Doom?!" This epic thing that's the epicenter of so much of geek culture. Yeah, let's...

That’s the Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen with a fantasy coat of paint. It’s a game of competitive lying.

I think that’s great encapsulated advice for everyone at the table. It’s collaborative storytelling. If you’re not interested in collaborating, this is not the hobby for you.

I ask them what them mean by it because everyone seems to have their own definitions of practically every word these days. # I saw a great video recently about immersion. I thought it was worth sharing.

Yes, you can manipulate the numbers to produce whatever result you wanted. Congrats.

I tend to stick with one-time magic items. D&D-like gear with straight bonuses strikes me as boring. I wouldn't want to use anything like a bag of holding as it renders the hard-scrabble aspects of the game moot.

I absolutely would. Some monsters have ferocity equal to the # of PCs. Very few have 4 ferocity. Most have 2-3. It seems fairly standard. If you're not sure about ferocity, you could go with a monster with multiple arms that get damaged and lose attacks as the combat goes on. Something like a...
