I'll recommend Krull as the subject for the next article. Also, the beast master would make a terrible D&D character - he didn't know how to use armor.

As I understand them, a soft move is a mixed success for a PC, because the PC didn't roll high enough. A hard move is what happens when a PC rolls too low, and it's unfortunate. It looks to me like you're wanting to buy bad outcomes when the PCs roll successes, which seems to be something...

I've been thinking about getting Ghost of Tsushima for a while. Steam rates it highly. Any cons I should know about?

Imma save myself the headache and just install one of those mod packages next . . . Whom am I kidding? I'll be on Oblivion Remastered for the next three years.

This important tidbit was missing from the OP. The Big Six work well enough - unless your game focuses on combat. Six is too many. That is why Modos 2 has three attributes: Physical Mental Metaphysical So your attribute usage comes from what's real, what's in your head, or what's between...

Does CPU/GPU load increase after a certain number of Skyrim mods? I think I'm close to 50, which runs fine, but some of my NPC encounters are glitched.

Yes, fiction, so anything goes, but I see future AI as not being limited by its programming. So how humans trained it, or what rules they imposed, are factors that an algorithm has to consider, but not an  AI. First up is survival, and once one threat is gone (humans), the next must be...

. . . but it provides an excellent Jenga aspect. Besides the "owlbear" term, why compare this to D&D products?

Sure, but the context struck me as course-of-narrative, not singular-event. As I suggested earlier, nothing happens could be game ending for the course of the narrative.

I've heard the ideas. That doesn't mean that I know how QW is using them. "Interesting new direction" never made sense. "Change the fiction" could mean altering the expected outcome, changing an historical element, or even taking a big detour going forward. There have been enough...

What's an example of an untipped hand? The QuestWorlds (I assume) quote is ambiguous to me, which doesn't help me to discern intent. What's an "interesting new direction?" What does "change the fiction" look like? Is that a retcon? I've never seen a GM say, "you fail the contest. Welp...

Has anyone done the sleuthing to discover what these upgrades herald for Elder Scrolls 6? The remaster seems like a lot of work for something that's only a one-off revenue...

That depends on if you're a health-is-meat or health-is-moxie person. Meat should be pretty easy to track. Not so with moxie. You might swap "annoying" for "immersive" if it's learning to get a feel for how much health/mana you have without looking at it. I still check my levels after a...

Can you just turn off the compass? I play Skyrim with no HUD.

Yup. If the mountain is flat, what are we really climbing? The Rainbow Six Siege system is fun: leave during a game and you get banned for 24 hours. Fortunately, there's a "quick game" mode that avoids this penalty. Have you tried changing the game's difficulty level? Watch some Angry Video...

That's admirable, and what I'd use if I ran a home D&D game. By the way, I know D&D can run steampunk. I mean, isn't that basically what Eberron is?

Love the promo art! But, can D&D handle steampunk?

Huh. Using a mixed outcome to tell mixed outcome proponents they're wrong? That's a logic puzzle. I'm pretty happy with my "ask the player what happened" system for making binary rolls more interesting.

I do: "PC, I'm going to roll. If the result looks like death, you take all the damage."
