Kachilk'cha reluctantly abandons the alcove-- and the possible patients within-- and moves to observe the plague doctor and make what observations she can.

Entire time I played 2e across 3-4 different groups, everyone used 4d6k3 arranged. Every time. Did not even start experimenting with other methods in 3.X until after Unearthed Arcana came out.

Zakhara, Kara-Tur, and even Maztica would have been better settings if they hadn't been shoehorned into the Forgotten Realms. The latter, too, Forgotten Realms would have been better without its reality-warping attempt to do a Very Special Episode about colonialism.

Kachilk'cha immediately lost interest in the illusionary figure and turned away from the building to find the corporeal sick and wounded. She started-- Dammit. She stopped. To Orris and Izek and Grim, she intoned, "Man in window is being not being. Not for helping, useless and probably being...

Well, in the given example of a small child... you're not really going to get anything out of playing D&D with a small child except playing D&D with a small child and your carefully curated setting and your painstakingly assembled themes are going to get chewed up and spat out. There's only two...

There's a problem with conflating "difficulty" with "lethality". In video games, lethality is equivalent to difficulty because the game will force you to replay it again, and again-- and again if necessary-- until you get it right. It's difficult but it isn't impactful because the only story the...

Sorry for the delay of game. I'd been considering my response and then it just got lost in the stack.

Screeching and chittering with excitement, Kachilk'cha rushes into the burning plague district, looking for a patient to examine. If challenged, she might-- might-- remember to announce herself as a doctor, and that she's here to help.

Or you can go the other direction, and get rid of the "mage" classes: magical power doesn't just come from nowhere, and it doesn't come free. Goes against my stated interest in Charles Atlas Superpowers but it feels more authentic than atheist-rationalist wizards.

For me, it's Jupiter Hell. I don't know many hours I have on it officially, but they don't count the hours I've spent on beta testing or on my GOG copy. I've purchased 12 copies of the game and I'm still very happy with every penny. Street Fighter 6 is getting there for me.

Frankly, the way D&D has almost always handled polytheism is so offensive and gross to me, I'll take practically anything that replaces it as the "default priest" in a D&D world, whether the classic Cleric is excluded entirely or simply made into the weird off-shoot.

You know, my battered copies of The Complete Book of Humanoids and The Complete Spacefarer's Handbook and The Planewalker's Handbook would like to have a word with all the people saying that "real D&D" wasn't just as much of an endless parade of circus freaks as the WotC editions. Frankly...

Dragons are part of the Celestial Bureaucracy, chromatic and metallic alike; their cosmological function is to beefgate insane, reckless, and/or unworthy mortals-- like every elf, ever-- from Immortality. The metallics focus more on fostering worthy candidates, and eating their failures, while...

Practically everything I run has multiple worlds, kung fu, or magic in it... the majority of my settings/campaigns have all three. I like laser guns and six-shooters best, but I'll frequently include either modern firearms or early firearms instead. The Elven Imperial Navy, the Thri-Kreen...

I can start using Coyote from now on-- do you want me to reroll my previous roll?

It's a shame they were so afraid of the "WotC is turning D&D into MtG" outcry that they didn't start doing this until this edition.

As much as I love Jollibee, you know that pineapple is also one of my favorite burger toppings.

Fantasy Grounds has default "accessibility" settings that are intolerable to me, and puts visual theme solely in the hands of the GM for aesthetic reasons that shouldn't be more important than player usability... but here we are. Largest and fastest refund I've ever requested or received for a...

OOC: Wisdom check 16.

It's not a matter of fixing everything in place, it's a matter of committing to what has been fixed in place. If there's a fork in the road, and the players can choose to walk down either path, the consequences for walking down those paths need to be different. edit: I mean, hell, with the...
