Re: The Biden Administration (No Lago)
"Lethal aid" sounds like something I would say when somebody calls in an alliance in a strategy game.

Re: Short Rest, Long Rest, Round Rest, what does different schedules do for a game?
Alternatively, magic stuff only works in the dark or whatever, so nights, underground and dense fog are when/where the monsters play. I ran a one shot based on aWoD where everyone was vampires and it worked out like this. People caught in daylight ducking into dark alleys and abandoned warehouses t...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 4 - Starship Traveller
Well, somewhat anticlimactic, but interesting that we didn't just get spoon fed the astronomical coincidence we needed.
I wonder if doubting our information would have given us more time or if the crew just loses hope and it's game over anyway?

Re: [Phil Swift Voice] "THAT'S A LOTTA GODS"--The planes sure seem crowded...
I've always vastly preferred settings with gods that can be counted on your fingers. If you tell me your world has thirty gods, all I hear is "you will never be able to identify holy symbols or recognize scripture unless I just tell you."

I keep considering getting into 3D printing, but I'm too much of a trial and error programmer. I'd go through a hundred bucks worth of material to print a friggin d6.

Re: Minion power transfer I guess? NO PHONELOBSTER
It does sound a lot like a 4X game, though I've never thought of my civ/nation/race/whatever as actually being the capitol. The way I play, the capitol is one of my strongest possessions, but the colonies are the POINT. As for the Morrowind Shortcut, there's nothing saying the BBEG is anywhere near ...

I have seen total conversion mods that turned turn based strategy games into CRPGs and real time tactical games. That right there is mind blowing.

Re: Annoying Game Questions You Want Answered
CMB/CMD is bullshit (maybe I just haven't played with it enough, but it feels like it just took the special attacks options of 3.x and made them more complicated while pretending to simplify them). That's not feels, that's fact. They took a great idea: make all the combat tricks use a unified bonus...

Alright, that's enough internet for today. I'm going to go talk to my dice, because that's less insane than whatever the fuck is happening in here.

Weighing the strength of abilities when designing the game rules isn't metagaming. It's designing. You're not roleplaying the creator of the universe, you're writing game rules.

Also a possibility. Alcohol disables your emotional brakes, and Ritalin makes your brain go faster, so it's easy to slip into a negative mental state and get stuck there.

Re: Medical Questions I'd Like Answered...
It looks like the warning against mixing Ritalin and booze is like the warning against drinking vodka and red bull: the pills make you feel sober, so people drink like demons and poison themselves. If you're drinking in moderation anyway, you should be fine.
