Prefer pure point buy like GURPS. Lets me design the character I think I want rather then having to plow through piles of books trying to find the magic combo of class/sub-class/archtype + traits + feats + ??? to get something close to concept. Often still missing something that makes perfect...

I was in a high level 3.5 game with 10 players. Even if everyone was ready, it was often 30~45 minutes between each player's action times. One thing we did during combats was encourage pre-rolling your attack dice before your turn. And damage dice if you already knew the to hit number. Also...

Lots of folks make money from YT videos. Anything that attracts clicks is fair game. Posting a mostly nonsensical title is a good way to get clicks and therefore earn sweet sweet click money. In many ways, YT has become the gossip media of the Internet. And like the MiB, we have to figure...

https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-d-d-memes-thread.693664/page-228#post-9880410 This ^ In a current game, GM asked me to roll dice for 'something' related to what my character was doing during cleanup in an Orc stronghold. The next morning, discovered a mimic had followed my character back...

That is my understanding as well. SF2 is supposedly mix and match with PF2. Might be some terminology issues between PF2(OGL) and SF2(ORC) but probably nothing that can't be puzzled out.

For many of the same logic points for the Christopher Reeve Superman outfit, the Adam West Batman outfit. The Green Lantern movie outfit. Captain Marvel's outfit. I liked the Stark Industries Spiderman outfit for the cool factor but Spiderman is more about doing Spidy things instead of high...

PF2 is a 6 year old game. Possible a lot of folks that already had PF2 skipped the remastered books. The remasters are advertised as includes errata + name changes to escape the last vestiges of WOTC IP. Around $200 for errata and name changes might be more then a lot of existing PF2 players...

Not sure how someone could be described as a 'hater' if that person never saw the show. Sounds like Hulu is cutting expenses and cancelling a reboot with several known stars is a quick way to cut future expenses. Making a new show with cheap unknown talent seems the fad these days. Its also...

Don't worry about having an 'adult' conversation. Kids often do a better job of communicating then adults. Just have a conversation. The medium of the message depends on the situation. If the situation is salvageable, then in person is probably best. But if the game is primarily VTT, then...

While generally set in the far future, watching how Traveller deals with computers is entertaining. In the 70's Traveller, computers are massive multi-ton things that sit in the bowels of a ship and can only run one or two things at a time. As the game versions get closer to now in publishing...

Maybe no. Glowing sword. Nat 20. Head severed from attack. Dead dragon. Previous room featured an encounter with a well dressed gentleman offering the Fighter in question "The Big Deal of the Day".

Have rarely seen Reincarnate used. By the time you have the 6th level Reincarnate, you usually have available the 5th level Raise Dead. And the 7th level Limited Wish is just around the corner. Often the GM would hand wave away the can't Raise Dead that race issue to avoid the party either...

2nd the thought on Fighter, Barbarian and Rogue. Most of us have seen enough shows/movies that feature characters that stab, bash and sneak to quickly grasp the concept and imagine doing that in the middle of a game session. Primary spell casters are fun to play but require additional...

I have seen a variation of this at conventions. Players in early rounds of Game A will also schedule slots in later time slots in Game B in case they lose early in Game A. If they win early rounds in Game A, they are no shows for Game B. If you are running Game B, you quickly learn to deal...

A limited variation on the Go Back to Town Card above. IF a party encounters a situation where a nominal amount of <normal thing> is needed and no one in the party has such an thing AND the party has enough cash on hand to have purchased the thing, THEN someone in the party is assumed to have...
