The "I function in chaos" is me to a tee. I should really get myself looked at...

Next time they pop by, shine a flashlight in their eyes and check those retinas. 🔦😑

If it's not squishy and pink, then yeah, well done. (y)

Oh cool! I want to do this so bad. I have a pretty good short-throw projector and portable PC, so it's just a matter of finding a place to project it by my table (walls are covered unfortunately). Might just get a digital map case, but afraid of the prep it would entail.

I have to ask, when it comes to burgers, does anyone here order them less than Medium-Well? I've been taught all my life how dangerous that is and still remember the Jack-in-the-Box e.coli fiasco in the 90's. Why is it all of a sudden normalized? Did something change or are people just more...

Forever GM until just a few years ago. Now I'm playing bi-weekly and enjoying the new challenges.

I'm thinking of running this soon... Did you play theater of the mind, maps & miniatures, VTT, or something else? I just ordered two Chessex Megamats and going to draw out the entire dungeon. Also ordered a couple dozen black, silk handkerchiefs to cover it with to create a fog-of-war effect...

For me, it's not the variance of the party that bothers, but the "happy family" vibe that seems out of place. I prefer fiction where everyone is on edge and distressful of each other as the default, especially when there's historic tension in the lore, so I look for systems that accommodate...

@payn Thanks for the history lesson! Looks like I had the Second Edition (still the best cover art IMO) and thought the system was pretty slick, but couldn't get anyone interested to try it out with me.

Which is why "Roll again to confirm" in 3E was more mathematically sound... but man did it feel like a bummer when you didn't make it. I REALLY dislike crits, but my players love them, so the compromise was a crit meant auto-success with max damage.

PDFs are out! Downloading mine now!

Forgot to mention I'm on PC using FireFox.

I've never understood what "bad faith" actually means, but I gather it's when someone has no desire to understand a conflicting perspective? I guess this sort of thing has never bothered me in a public forum since even if the person I'm responding to doesn't find my responses useful at least...

On a similar note... these two wouldn't be the same class in D&D either!

Again, I think you're vastly oversimplifying the D&D Thief class. They certainly didn't start that way; and although over time their abilities have been watered down, they still have unique class features that make them stand out. If you're serious about understanding the concept of the...

@Staffan I follow what you're saying and agree. In the context of OP's question though, I'm still not seeing the relevance. The source of contention was that Thieves were just a collection of skills, no powers, so therefor should be removed. In systems where "thieves" are defined only by what...
