    Scholarly puzzles and issues

    As you are playing Zweihander hint at some truth(s) that has been hidden from everyone. This could be the man in the iron mask or a family that is keeping something hidden or even the character being pulled into a cult/secret society, like the knight templars or masons. If you want to be on...

    On GMing Advice

    Only advice I have found useful over the years as been; "know your material and your players." Every game is different and while GMs and players may be similar from table to table, each has their own pace and flavor, making them different. So, do not give advice, give tips, tricks, and...

    I've finally tried Paranoia, and I love it!!

    What I always found fun was relating it to my job, I was Help Desk and Data Processing at the time and we had sayings we used in the Data Center. PINIC - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. Would get calls asking why systems were unavailable and provide the answers to the caller, after...

    I've finally tried Paranoia, and I love it!!

    Love it myself, my biggest problem was keeping up with tech to use and technobabble for the game. Use stuff like: Reclamation Industrial Plant (RIP) - The place where characters became Soylent Green 3D Printer - where players would report to, to get equipment and later where there clones...

    Can you name a good fantasy TTRPG that's not D&D?

    Off Topic but just by knowing that would generate Termination orders to have your character removed from the game. :) Resurrection would just be your new clone coming on-line.

    Handling Permanent Injuries

    Plus, it is good to have an understanding of your players, all it takes is one disgruntled player to undermine a game and ruin it for everyone else because they did not know that by gritty you meant disfigurement and dismemberment or knowing there are in-game options to counter them. Players...

    Handling Permanent Injuries

    S Well, sort of. In my games it comes down to piety and good standing, the characters visiting shines, giving to the church (I mean why should a non believer be granted the same healing as a believer) or adventure guild dues (contract to provide services) and such.

    Handling Permanent Injuries

    First off it is best to let the players know before hand that there is a chance of dismemberment in the game so they can have an good medical plan. Then you as the GM should have a few plot hooks to dangle in front of the players. Example would be a shady hooded NPC that whisper to the...
