I'm not sure it should be impossible.

I would normally think of 'modern mechanics' as those coming after the forge and 'system matters'. So, not necessarily narrativist leaning, but having a sense of intentionality about creating a particular effect from the game rules, and not necessarily sticking to tradition for its own sake. I...

What I'm looking for is not 'the player does the thing the PC is trying to do' but 'the player describes evocatively the thing the PC is trying to do'. So in a social conflict situation I'm not asking the player to really intimidate or persuade me, but to give enough of a sense of the scene...

'My phone's autocorrect function gave me bad medical advice'

I wanna know how Rob Liefeld got hold of this technology in the 1990s

Not dumb, but opaque: New Order's Blue Monday is about how Bernard Sumner feels about Ian Curtis's death and taking over vocal duties from him.

I think this may be US only? In the UK self check-outs don't seem to be going anywhere

Where do you think he went to after that smash hit song? Beamed right up.

The correct best diet cola is Pepsi Max (in various flavours) - it has a maximum amount of no sugar, hence the name.

Branding and advertising have no impact, this is 100% an informed response to the quality of the game design (in each iteration).

Explanation presumably. One of the things that nontraditional games have to deal with is people bringing assumptions from trad play with them. You have to add extra admonitions to the effect of 'yes we really mean this bit' and 'no don't do this other thing, really'. This extra baggage can make...

Well, in one of those games you have an engagingly roleplayed scene, and in the other you have a mumbled statement of intent and a dice roll. I know which table I'd rather sit at.

Please don't attribute fictional quotes to me.

For my high level 5e character I had to create my own 'cheat sheet' character sheet because I had so many fiddly little options from L12+ it was difficult to keep track of otherwise. Part of the issue is also that the PHB is very badly laid out.

What view do you think I have expressed?

I like your bossiness, I can see how you came to run a billion dollar company. I've never seen even a second of Critical Role or any other podcast game. PS I think you messed up the quotes, you have me saying what you said. Easily done, multiquoting is weird.
