Okay, experiment time. Some adventuresome individual -- please google "galvanic corrosion" and click the drop-down. Does Google suggest a YouTube video on the subject? Is there anything notable about the video thumbnail?

If he's in the barrel, and it is rolling downhill, that just might work. Yes, I know, you mean the other Starfox.

You might have read that in reverse.

No, I am not giving him the views at this point. What was said?

It's hard for me to separate out what was in the initial rulebook from what was added in supplements/revised editions, but I think there was a gradual shift. Initially, I think the Camarilla were supposed to be a flawed but often well-intentioned power structure. All vampires were struggling to...

Champions/Hero System had (depending on edition) various rules about experimenting with existing powers. Basically, if your power did X (say, single-target attack defined as a fire attack), you could ask "can I strafe it across an area, like a weak flame thrower, to scare off the masses of rats...

I'm mostly trying to enjoy myself while seeking continuation of play.

We're... an interesting country. Look at it this way -- we just named the thing the One Big Beautiful Bill/Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21). Back in 2001, we went to the trouble to make it spell out the thing with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required...

I don't know how much original intent matters in this case. Edwards' article was somewhat influential to perpetually online gamerdom back in 2002. Now? Whatever people think it means, it probably means. That said, I don't know that there is a lot of consistency there. I think some people do...

Hmm. I'm not immediately finding it in my DMG. I see that 1E (DMG pp. 64-66) had to-hit bonuses and penalties for charging; cover; flanking; invisibility; rear-attacks; and opponents who are encumbered, held by both legs, held by one leg, motionless, off balance, partially bound, prone, slowed...

This might be another one of those vary-by-group things like we keep finding about gaming BitD. I strongly recall always looking for ways to get the elevation bonus, back-attack, and so on. Other than choosing to shoot/rush into melee, or trying to cycle low-hp melee types back to the second...

Right, and for storytelling purposes, it works well enough. The show did a good job of making it right next to Clark's objectives without someone necessarily knowing that it was his weakness. So that's still a toggle we can explore. A central conceit of that show is that the "meteor rocks"...

I'm inordinately fond of the anti-joke. The troll joke. The 'we could have made a joke here, but instead were not and pointing it out' joke. As bad as it was, I love that the Rob Zombie The Munsters film paid for Cassandra Peterson to show up as a realtor, tease that she was going to be...

Isn't that true for a lot of classes with one save or another? Rangers and Monks attribute needs sit perfectly on top of the 3 common saves (hamstrung only in that they get proficiency in Dex, arguably the least important of the 3). Paladins get to add their Charisma to everything (halfway...

I would absolutely love it if he is just RDJ, has the mask off frequently, and they just never explain or acknowledge it. Mayyybe have one of the returning characters say, "he looks familiar, but I can't quite place it..."

This is another great big question mark. How common is our Kryptonite (for the remnants of an exploded planet from -- checks modern canon-- 27.1 light years distant, the stuff sure seems to be everywhere on Earth)? Is it a known super-rare object likely put in a lab whenever discovered? Does...

Agree or disagree, I thought I spelled that out fairly clearly. The advantage is that the wizard is more likely to want to take Resilient:Con than the sorcerer is to take Resilient:Wis. Presumably this would be happening after taking War Caster (gives advantage on the concentration save, and a...

Comments on individual topics-- Charisma and intelligence skills are both campaign-gate skills, but there are likely difference in how they play out in campaigns. If you miss a Persuasion skill check, perhaps you do not make a friend or convince someone to help you. If you miss a History check...

Hmm. I knew that (that's also how the half-swording works), but I guess I thought you'd want to grip the blade not-near-the-hilt (to get the most leverage possible). I, uh... while swinging it by the sharp edge, attempting the collide it with someone else at high velocity. I mean, anything in a...

The OP was asking why people liked certain playstyles. I don't see that it was exclusively in the context of any specific game style. My understanding of the OP premise was to dissect the reason why people like/dislike the playstyle. Re: wargaming--haakon1 also mentioned D&D's wargaming roots...
