Just to make sure I'm on the right page, PbtA and similar games are designed particularly for players who want to share in the world/scene creation during play and focus on pushing the story and not character advantage?

Lots of good* DMs have to make stuff up on the spot a lot, including lots of details. Because most DMs don't have infinite time, many players have boundless creativity, and stopping a game session when the players get off the prepared material doesn't work well with constrained schedules. *...

FTFY

Yeah, I have no practice with that and it feels awkward just reading it there. (With practice who knows, I might like it. But it isn't in my current wheelhouse.)

I think the closest I've run into something like that are the montages in 13th Age... I really didn't like them as a player. I'm great with world building for my character when I'm not at the table, but when I'm playing a character at the table I don't think I particularly like it. I'm not...

Love the Bel Air's at the annual 4th of July car show every year. Never owned a car worth sharing a picture of :-)

I really like the PHB,.I really don't like a number of things in the MM, and I need to revisit the DMG. Grade: incomplete

After picking up issue 63 I subscribed to issues 64 to at least the 120s, and had the five best of's... and have apparently long since forgotten most of them on the list :)

I have vague memories of the Bounty Hunter and Jester too. Holy cow were there a lot of them: https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24436

I guess ones who vociferously play by RAW would. I assume they would also say librarians and scribes can save their books and papers from fireball just by picking them up before it's cast.

This actually came up in a fantasy book I'm reading with someone who walks in shadows. Being in a mine with no light sources is the worst place in the world for them since there are no shadows (something hard to avoid even on a bright sunny day) and totally different than a place where there is...

Finally saw it. Not sure if the delay was my 16yo not being in the mood to see it in the theater or my hating the comic book Sentry with the power of a billion burning suns. Really liked it - and like the development of Yelena's character..

I never thought it was that big of a deal because it wasn't just 3d6 for each, since the DMG had 4 of them and strongly recommended their usage. That being said, I think the only of those we used was Method I (best 3 of 4d6 in any order). I have don't think I ever remember Methods II-IV and...

Do some expert hirelings (1e DMG page 29-34) have skills PCs normally wouldn't have, like the Sage or Alechmist? (At least until Dragon Magazine came out with a write up for an NPC class that the players would want to use anyway?) Also, page 11 notes that the NPCs, especially important ones...
