Yesterday, 05:36 PMRight. And in either case, the GM stepping out of NPC character for a moment, putting on their GM hat and asking the players "Are you guys...209 replies | 8092 view(s) -
Yesterday, 03:44 PMI don't think that's the entirety of the issue though. There is the concept of player agency at build time (which, as discussed is important). But...150 replies | 9260 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:13 PMThat's reasonable. At the very least, he likely performed some kind of powerful ritual to bind his spirt to the throneroom (probably the gemstone...409 replies | 38946 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:00 PMAccidentally put my response in the wrong thread, so I'll put my comments here. Generally, I enjoyed the series. Yeah. It did have a few "why did...75 replies | 4477 view(s)

2024-04-25, 09:57 PMNothing. But you are the one who created a thread about what I can only assume is "something that went wrong" in your game. So clearly, the fact that...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-25, 12:05 PMYeah. I suppose a caveat to this is about how cruncy/soft the game you're playing is. If you're running a very firm "the rules say that to do this,...150 replies | 9260 view(s)

2024-04-24, 08:40 PMWhile there are certainly other (and much worse!) ways a GM can be competitive towards the players, this is still one of them. And yeah. I get that...150 replies | 9260 view(s)

2024-04-24, 07:46 PMYou either need to drop into OOC communication and (as the GM) ask the players "Do you intend to tell the Seelie about the planned attack in the...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-24, 04:03 PMYup. I still think a lot of people are mixing up what the audience knows at this point versus what the Jedi actually know. From the Jedi perspective,...606 replies | 21475 view(s)

2024-04-23, 07:08 PMSure. But let's adjust things a bit. You jaywalk, and as a result a driver swerves to avoid you, causing a crash with injuries and damage caused....606 replies | 21475 view(s)

2024-04-23, 05:10 PMFinished watching the series. Eh... It was good. It's clearly season one of a two season storyarc (at least), but it felt like Fallout, looked like...96 replies | 5392 view(s)

2024-04-23, 03:40 PMI disagree (shocking! I know... :smallsmile: ) Which allows the PC to do exactly what the player spent the character skill points or whatever...150 replies | 9260 view(s)

2024-04-23, 01:28 PMYes. And that's the case at my table as well. However, not all tables play this way. I've certainly seen enough posts on this forum about problems in...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-23, 11:27 AMI'll note the absence of any plan of Tarquin's involving "hold the gods hostage to the snarl". So you are concurring with my position that the...409 replies | 38946 view(s)

2024-04-22, 06:55 PMI also think there's a middle ground between "victim blaming" and "victims are blameless" too. Sometimes, people do suffer consequences as a result...606 replies | 21475 view(s)
-
2024-04-22, 06:20 PMYup. I also find it's incredibly useful since sometimes the players just get the wrong idea about something. Having this kind of open discussion...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-22, 05:38 PMThis is a bit of supposition on my part, but it may also have to do with the table habits in terms of in-character and out-of-character talk. I know...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-22, 04:43 PMgbaji replied to a thread So what might have been Elan's super secret plan? in The Order of the StickI was intentionally pointing out a situation where the books were written in one order, but the films released in another. That's why I said this was...89 replies | 5483 view(s)

2024-04-22, 03:44 PMI think there's a middle ground where the Order did make mistakes, but that does not mean that every single thing they did was a mistake. Or.......606 replies | 21475 view(s)

2024-04-22, 02:47 PMYeah. Put me down for "what *exactly* was said?" as well. Did the PCs actuallly know that the werewolves were turning residents into fomori in...209 replies | 8092 view(s)

2024-04-21, 06:58 PMI don't know about "whole life". Don't get me wrong, he and Lirian (and the rest of the Scribblers) get a lot of credit for finding and sealing the...409 replies | 38946 view(s)

2024-04-19, 07:10 PMgbaji replied to a thread Got a Real-World Weapon, Armour or Tactics Question? Mk. XXX in Roleplaying GamesWell, the fun can also be in imagining how magic and science could be combined (especially when there are Dwarves involved).

2024-04-19, 06:31 PMWhy are you looking for it? I guess what I'm trying to get at is this idea (which you seem to be expressing, but please correct me if I'm wrong) that...98 replies | 8026 view(s)

2024-04-19, 01:01 PMgbaji replied to a thread So what might have been Elan's super secret plan? in The Order of the StickOk. I can buy that. From the film audiences point of view, The Hobbit is a prequel to LotR, despite the books themselves not being written in that...89 replies | 5483 view(s)

2024-04-19, 12:05 PMYeah. The entire claim for Soon being such a horrible person is that he's lawful. But as far as I can tell, not actually "lawful stupid", just normal...409 replies | 38946 view(s)

2024-04-18, 07:23 PMWell, sure. You'd focus on higher value cargo. You leave the bags of grain on the wagon, and take the box of gemstones, for example. Or the money...35 replies | 3027 view(s)
