How about they can no longer see the light--they can only see shadows. Bright light is (magical) darkness to them and darkness is bright light.

We need to make these! I'll give it a shot tonight.

Magitech and the demystification of magic. The nuance between warforged and robots is thin, and apparently was missed by the producer in some people's estimation. I suspect that some will find it perplexing that some of us are uncomfortable with robots but not warforged.

The personality traits etc. already have guidelines for applying alignment to those traits. I think it was in the Ideals. I really miss the Personality Traits etc. and I wish they would have been included in the 50th Anniversary edition.

If it's more than three paragraphs, I probably won't read it.

I added a third axis along a fanatic/apathetic axis. I did this out of frustration with Dungeon Masters who police alignment. Fanatics make principled decisions, whereas Apathetics don't care. Nowadays I don't engage in such baroquen rules systems. I just make Chaotic Neutral characters instead.

I didn't play 4th Edition but liked they way it handled alignment by giving us the "Unaligned" option. It was a better solution than my own which incorporated a third fanatic/apathetic axis and resulted in 27 alignments (although all 9 of the apathetic alignments were essentially the same as...

I think alignment is useful as a quick way to understand how to play a monster or Non-Player Character. It is also useful in portraying the mood and character of a city or other organization. 🙃 For instance, the flumph. Wow, it looks weird flying around with tentacles and spikes. And, it can...

It's only bad when the Players feel like they're being railroaded.

I told my Players that this is an adventure path called The Curse of the Crimson Throne. It is an adventure path, which means there is a path, which means if we get off the path then we are no longer on it. I will be happy to create adventures for us if we get off the path and go in a different...

And when is that? I'm 30 posts behind but I can see there's a [CENSORED]storm ahead. This thread has had many distractions. Bedir than made a comment and now a lot of us have latched onto that. Erroneously in my opinion but we're beyond that now. However, you Umbran, a moderator, have been...

The first adventure in the Golden Vault is trash. We played it and at one point one of the Players asked, in ernest, if their Character could spot any surveillance cameras; and the Dungeon Master had the balls to say, "No, of course not, this is a medieval world." This after we walked past the...

You're wrong Umbran. Sometimes it's not an epic battle between good and evil. Often, people get painted as horrible people on these boards because they don't hold the same opinion. We need to make an effort to see people rather than box them into a shape that they do not hold. We need to see...

Cheesecake in this period practically required stilettos.

Whizbang, I'm not a bad person and I don't think you're a bad person either. I ask that you extend the same courtesy to me, please. Then, go back and consider what you're just wrote to me.

Perhaps you should underline the point or write it in a sentence or two.

I long for the day when I can express myself on this forum without being accused of being a horrible person. I am complaining about modern elements in the game. I'm not trying to oppress people. Please refrain from accusing me of such things, please.

This is a good point. It helps me to understand my feelings about this.
