Am i right in thinking there is a label somewhere of how some people seem to interpret freedom of speech as meaning only first opinion given is allowed it, and no one os allowed to reply with their opposing / different opinion? As seems to be a bit of that view going on at the moment.

I remain hopeful about the RPG :)

Know no fear (also by Abnett) and Betrayer by ADB are also very strong.

On the race as classes type thing, does anyone have experience on how Soulbound goes on that front? One i want to play, but had to bow out of my role playing group just as they were starting a Soulbound campaign, but from what I saw it divided classes by race, with each race having maybe 4...

I generally agree, I only get concerned if someone is doing a somewhat more black and white type story with clear good guys, and their thoughts/ behavior sometimes , whether they are trying to portray them as flawed, or is a genuine view of author that that is good. Examples where I'm unsure is...

Shame not easy to see full sales of some of these games. Editing as sorry see you've got baldurs gate enhanced edition.does that includes BG2 enhanced edition? And all sales across all platforms?

Bane's return was well foreshadowed, Kelemvor had book around his return and Bhaal had adventure for him, but I would need a reminder on Myrkuls return beyond him just suddenly being back at some point.

He has come back once before, for better or worse, in Dragonheir Silent God's, though apparently leaves ambiguity as to whether was after his Lich death or not, though Elminster feared he could return. Ones I've seen return over time are Bane, Bhaal, Myrkul, Kelemvor, is always possible...

Have you read the novel Blindsight by Peter Watts? An interesting read which raises questions with a different spin on the above.

Well yeah, ultimately the type of fiction being authored is quite different. I was pushing back on the idea that the process is so different, I don't think it is, just one system confines the process to more perhaps direct fiction, stuff that a character could more directly control, towards...

Outside of Ezekiels response showing how in 5e there can be a lot of things decided after the attack roll is made, such as his examples and things like divine smite, in the example provided by Permerton they didn't make the roll than decide what runes meant, they declared ahead of the roll what...

The player wants to hit the Orc, they find out if successful by rolling the dice. The player wants the runes to indicate the way out, they find out if they are successful by rolling the dice. Else, with your cut out of an important part, could day the player decided the Orc will be dead, it had...

Well yes, but concern seemed about changing the reality of the fiction. However it's done, I don't have a problem with unsettled/ undetermined fiction being settled through process, DM decision or player decision depending on the game in question. I would have a problem if changing previously...

But isn't it the same in combat in dnd? We make an attack, then fictional reality is undetermined until results of attack known. Plus the character may change reality from opponent being alive to being dead.

To be fair, Micah did apologize for the manipulated reality bit, though I think their concern around 'manipulated reality' does come down tp that player authorship vs DM authorship divide you mentioned previously. On the quantum runes part, not sure what they meant at it or how you feel it is...

Too much effort for me to try and go back to original one. But I think two differing levels of conjecture, with higher probability: 1. It is known runes , but not instantly recognizable but once take a look, may not be common language but one that thebPC does know at least rudimentarily to be...

Without a Rosetta stone though, the initial transactions would sometimes require conjecture i believe. This symbol is here often, so more likely a vowel equivalent. This set of letters is often found on toilets, so likely indicates something to do with toilets, and can build from there. While...

This differs from my view of simulation. My basic English answer would be, when we put into the things we know about, it will output what would occur in a real situation. Whether it tells us how and why is less useful, but often a simulation model is built on understanding why certain things...

And as mathematically equivalent, we could easily convert. If DC 15 is base, then 6 would be unskilled skill number as such for roll under equivalent to GURPS unskilled stuff ( if equal succeeds, else move up one). A dnd skill of +7 would thus be a skill of 13 in a roll under situation. And...

Dont know what happened before sorry, but teaser looks good :)
