2024-05-07, 10:03 AMKish and gbaji are not alone here. I am also getting the impression, Talakeal, that you were not looking for advice, but for commiseration. My...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-06, 02:43 PM??? Playing Paranoia without the player vs. player aspect? I can't imagine what exactly you'd be playing then. It's kind of the central concept...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-03, 05:08 PMBecause most of us aren't playing RPG games which are set in the modern day in a 100% mundane setting. Where the setting differs from modern reality...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-03, 03:01 PMThe Assuming is the tricky part here. It is the GM's part, if the players say "let's go to Cairo, Illinois" to point out that the tickets they found...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-03, 11:44 AMExactly. You judge intent and basic specifics, like tools used, not whether the player specifically stated all the little steps that would be...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-02, 03:19 PMExactly. Chances are that they're doing something you think is dumb because there has been a misunderstanding between the GM and the players, and...490 replies | 26676 view(s)

2024-05-02, 02:28 PMAgain, we're only getting the GM's perspective here. That's not enough to lay blame anywhere. What if these kids in the past have called the...490 replies | 26676 view(s)
