I'm looking forward to it since we are into the higher levels at our table, so this is in line with our long-term campaign and currently in FR. No one at my table purchased the 2024 core, and I do not have the 5e's Sword Coast Adventurers Guide so this could work for us.

And yet this system is used for combat. Increase the stakes with each additional attempt. Attempt to Lockpick Increase the time (1 minute, 10 minutes, 20 minutes etc) with each attempt and roll for a Random Encounter every hour or less depending on traffic in that area. Also every attempt...

We do very much the same, it is discussed openly at the table amongst us all, we look at the TIBFs and if we can apply that in some way, but in the end the player decides if it can happen and if dice are needed for resolution purposes. The player gets to determine the DC if dice are to be used.

This is true. There some interesting ways to still give some agency to players. If a PC is affected by something that robs them of agency it helps, I feel, to turn it around in a positive way. So for instance.. * The big bad tough barbarian is suddenly overcome with dragon fear, ask the player...

I'm not great with IT, I tend to use Discord, but the positives are One can get through material rather rapidly in a short space of time It is very useful when the party is split, so 1-2 players. I use it particularly when I know it is likely to be a less combat heavy so ToM or no combat. No...

This kind of play, I feel, is fostered because of D&D where the overwhelming real consequence in the game is PC Death (even for NPCs). Lesser consequences are mitigated or ignored in service to the Hit Point god. So rational (always optimal) decision making is rewarded. EDIT: Thus you have...

What do you mean by the bolded part? You believe the players won't find session summaries useful?

From Russia with Love is my personal favourite too.

Ah I see my error! I focused on the neutral arbiter hence using referee and father examples instead of looking for an example of how the word fan was intended to be seen. I did think of the literary characters but summarily (and incorrectly) dismissed them for the shallow comparison between...

Yay, it is back to normal. Thank you!

I don't run narrative games so I have only seen be a fan of the players/characters here, but my impression as I've said upthread is that it is similar with many parts of the DMG 2014, where it offers good-natured advice on GM etiquette, handling different players and their creations. I do not...

Skywrite preoccupies dragons of Ascore

To those of you who use session summaries via AI, does it record the entire online session and generate a summary at the end with you just doing a read through and make corrections where necessary? If yes, how does it handle player chit-chat which isn't part of play?

You think that is what RPGs mean when they say be a fan of the PCs? Make sure they succeed or stack it heavily in their favour? EDIT: My take is that it is just good basic table advice for a GM. As there is good basic table advice in the DMG. In fact page 6 of the DMG (2014) at the top "...and...

Right, so what is your take on the comment upthread about you cannot be a fan and a neutral arbiter?

Lanefan and Max, you can honestly say you are not a fan of any of the PCs at the table in which you run games? Do you not find ways to include PC background in setting story? Do you not find ways to be supportive to associated NPCs including animal companions, familiars, constructs, intelligent...

Ah okay (in any given 15 minutes). Thanks!

So around 2,000 users out of 20 million? Let us assume 50% are dead accounts, so 2,000 out of 10 million - that is minute. EDIT: I'm not surprised. Given the advancements in techniques and rules with so many non-D&D games over the last 10-15 years you would have expected them to push forward...

I really really like Dalton (he was the Daniel Craig before Daniel Craig); Pierce is smooth, smoother than Roger Moore who was ridiculous; and And Connery is just iconic!

Can a referee be a fan of a sportsman and still be a neutral arbiter? Can a father be a fan of their kid and still discipline their child when need be?
