Following Interceptor City, been doing my normal start of year reading of various Kindle unlimited books, making use of their black Friday deal on Kindle unlimited before unsubscribing again:) Seem to be erring on horror these days. Last year was reading through various Aliens Omnibuses (cant...

I was somewhat inspired also by overgeekeds post in what are you reading about kishōtenketsu story structure, and recognizing i quite like that sort of structure, that line up with some of my comfort sort of reads, where a lot less 'stress' than reading books with a lot of tension etc.

You will get a series of events, but post events i think you can readily tie them together into a story as such. I think with dnd it is a post session thing where would string the events into a story, as a lot of in game play is determining things like do I hit, does anyone need to make a...

While I may agree with not getting that outcome naturally, I don't think that is only definition of story, and that you can have stories without conflict / rising action, and that dnd 2e cpuld generate those sorts of stories.

Are you me? Im watching thread for same reason:) my kids at least know i like spoilers, so they watch the movies/ shows i can't and let me know what happens :)

Well, in hypothetical example, that could mean a lot of rolls during prep to do possible encounters each time period, possibly each hour, depending on how granular the time period impacts on encounters are, and also how much of thr weather you want to determine ahead, again maybe hour by hour...

Not sure if i read Outbound Flight, and some time since reading any of the EU, but impression I had was that Palpatine didn't care about the Vong, just used it as a way of getting Thrawn (who worried a lot about the Vong) on his side, and a convenient excuse for getting rid of a number of Jedi...

Alan Rickman in January too:(

Now, I know the first 500 times I've given my opinion you havent agreed, but surely on the 501st time you will.

Also not sure you need to forgive to let go of the grudge as such. Im estranged from my Mum and one of my siblings due to disagreement around my life choices. I tried at time to find some path to reconciliation, but just kept getting hurt. So in end im happily staying estranged, im not...

I dont know of an example directly, but hypothetical one to try and show my understanding is random encounter tables. It could be roll a d100, on 1 to 10 there are different encounters that happen, and 11 to 100 no encounter. Or it could be, roll a d20, if it is a populated region (see x for...

As for year ahead, having read the Stephen King books I wanted to read and Peter Fehervari omnibuses in 2025, looking to try and clear some of my unread books - have an ever growing collection across Kobo (my store of choice), Kindle (for books not available on Kobo or on sale on Amazon but not...

Started new year reading Interceptor City by Dan Abnett, following closing 2025 reading Double Eagle and Apostle's Creed from Sabbat Worlds to refresh my memory. Certainly a bit weird reading the intro to Sabbat World, with weirdness on timing - talking about some of the Horus Heresy novels...

I think the GM and host are two different people in the example. For me though, l can't say yes or no, depends on why the DM wants to exclude the other species not in the 3 mentioned books. I would hope in this case the DM would explain why not Tabaxi in particular, or allow them as they...

I think it is more why did you eat the baby? What was intent/ reason for doing so? Is it a Soylent Green scenario? Were you coerced into it? Did you just wake up and decide one day I want to eat a baby?

I like the way Lord of the Rings Online has been handling Orcs and Goblins in recent years, showing some variation in attitudes as such.

I think you are taking the most uncaritable reading of my posts possible. As ultimately yes I have, as described, had this happen in games I've played in, with me ultimately stopping playing a character I liked because someone came in with a concept that clashed with mine after I had already...

Slight tangent from these two bits - it may be a factor of changing life circumstances leading me to as a DM wanting to minimize my workload, and as a player wanting to play characters that interest me, in broadbrush strokes I tend to want to DM / play in one of the following four types of...

And further for the record, I dont think I've ever expressed that I think DMs should block player options if they exist, only that if a DM is blocking it i don't see a way out. After prior experiences as player and DM, my only concerns that may impact on character choices is that it doesn't lead...

Is why I also liked that the Kender in latest supplement were more described as insatiably curious and chatterboxes , rather than kleptomaniacs.
