    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    While immersion may not be the absolute last thing on the list for me, as far as things that I enjoy about TTRPGs, but it is pretty low. As such, trying to get just the right level of Sling Blade for my 7 Int fighter is not a priority.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Being smart myself (at least an 11) I left the odd numbers free so that we can slot in whoever you like.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Maybe some pop culture character benchmarks will help: Int 6: The Hulk Int 8: Kronk Int 10: Buzz Int 12: Woody Int 14: Fox Mulder Int 16: Peter Parker Int 18: Bruce Wayne Int 20: Lex Luthor

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Sure, but that suggests a pretty one dimensional interpretation of "low int". Also, people should definitely play with other people with whom they share certain preferences. But boy would I be put out if another player judged my roleplaying my character.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Out of curiosity, what kind of behavior would you accept as "roleplaying a low int"?

    Shadowdark: Stocking A Dungeon Example

    I was surprised. I though there were more robust random monster tables. The random encounter tables provided are cool, but they are very much "encounter tables" -- the include lots of stuff not necessarily good for tocking a dungeon. i am sure someone out there has made by-level random...

    What's your perfect movie

    Fellowship of the Ring. I love all 3 movies, but Fellowship is essentially perfect.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I must have misunderstood your point. My apologies. That said: S&D having attribute point buy does not in any way make it a "point based" game, especially in a way that makes talking about those choices relative to Hero make sense.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I don't even know what you are talking about here. The Hero example doesn't make any sense in context. D&D is not a point based game. What does Hero have to do with low Int in D&D?

    Things you don’t like about DMing

    I get you on immediate anxiety. Still.happens at cons for me sometimes (not so much "home games"). If there is a part about GMing -- which i love, snd far prefer to playing -- that i force myself to deal with, rather than do out of joy, it is learning rules. Even when I want you try a new game...

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    These things are not remotely the same. In Hero, a player chose a disadvantage, giving the GM explicit permission to include elements of that disadvantage insofar as the rules allowed (frequency being a MAJOR component here). A player rolling a low Int is not the same thing.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    The issue isn't IF they are doing new books. The question is when and why are announcements taking do long

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Honestly, this is yhe same sentiment that will cede TTRPGs to AI: casual fans DO NOT CARE.

    So what's the deal with solo gaming?

    Explain how. I see roleplaying as a response to input. Solo RPGs don't generally provide that.

    MotM is the worst D&D book I ever bought. An absolute scam.
