    Artworks in an RPG

    A picture invokes one of the five scents, vision and from that the brains' ability to imagine, fantasize, and process information. A lot of people are visual in how they take in information, artwork helps that, it is a delivery system. If it does not relate to the material, it fails in that...

    How Relevant is Gencon (or Any Con)?

    How Relevant is Gencon (or Any Con)?

    Oh, any why is this always brought up? It stereotypes gamers and it should be pointed out there are stinky people everywhere that have nothing to do with gaming or being at a convention! My other is saying gamers dress up, so do fans of other events, like football! It is not exclusive!

    How Relevant is Gencon (or Any Con)?

    Every now and then one will turn up, but the heat will have more to do with it these days. Gen Con has a LOT of walking and you sweat, lucky the AC is good in the convention center and people seem to practice good hygiene.

    Rumor has it that Henry Cavill (Superman. Witcher, and a big fan) is looking to producing and starring in a Warhammer 40K movie.

    Feeling better about it, still think he would be great as a streaming show but will be seeing it.

    D&D General Rethinking alignment yet again

    Alignment is an element of the game, there is good and there is evil in the game, the DM manages those. I agree that it is an outdated concept, but the characters are interacting with the setting. It comes down to the how the DM wants to run the game.

    D&D General Rethinking alignment yet again

    Because (in America) we have the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights, it was how we were raised and built into our social structure. Our actions are based around those concepts. In fantasy games there is a lot of freedom and lack of laws that impact the characters, you impose your will as...

    D&D General Rethinking alignment yet again

    I have a soap box; The DM should be defining what is EVIL in their games! The players need to know this for alignment to be effective where good and evil are concerned. Lawful and chaos is how they move/view between the two poles. So, I as the DM will tell my players that the following are...

    How Relevant is Gencon (or Any Con)?

    Gen Con or any other convention is as relevant as you make it. My first was 1985, off and on been to about 26, and I have been to great ones and had a few bad. The biggest thing it does for me is "touch and feel," I get to see and demo games, put my hands on things I don't see anywhere else...

    How much should the GM talk during a session?

    Are we 'talking' session related conversion or just table BS conversion? :rolleyes: I put the split GM 60, players 40. The GM is setting the scenes, handling NPCs, interacting with the players, doing color commentary.

    Spelljammer Check Out These Spelljammer Ships!

    Well, the artwork looks good, but it looks like the same designs from the old Spelljammer, I am hoping for some new concepts and deck plans.

    If you had to build a system, what stats would you put inside ?

    Oh, Durability would be a stat too

    How do you play a Dwarf?

    Work ethic, 12-hour workday, keeping busy and a pride in the job they do. People think they drink, well they do but that is to hydrate and calories not to get drunk. They are always building, repairing, digging, making something, fighting or travelling to do them. They notice things like...

    If you had to build a system, what stats would you put inside ?

    As Str can be improved on, I can see it as a skill. If you look at people, you will find most are within the same range of STR unless they train or are in a profession that adds to it. The thing to look for is "common" attributes across biology. Man vs Ant vs Cat vs Dog vs Man vs Elf vs...
