2024-05-04, 09:05 AMThe only assumption I'm making is that communication is imperfect. You probably did give them all of the information, but communication is imperfect...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-03, 08:36 PMI'm not assuming anything. The actions indicate a possibility they might not be aware of things their characters would be. Like, they might assume...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-03, 02:37 PMWell generally what tied them together was their secondary roles - martial characters were all strikers as a secondary, so they did decent damage for...25 replies | 1199 view(s)

2024-05-03, 01:49 PMThose are all situations where I'd give players info that their characters know, since it seems the players are not aligned on that. "Your...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-03, 12:24 PMAlso the 3bp can be solved for some configurations, but there is not a general solution for it, and I believe provably so.4 replies | 506 view(s)

2024-05-03, 11:44 AMChanged it to "what do you intend to accomplish" as I think that's more clear. What's the goal, and how do you get there?375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-03, 11:14 AMI usually hear this encoded as "Intent and Task" - what do you intend to accomplish, and what are you doing to achieve it? The other model is that...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-03, 10:31 AMYeah, I feel like some of the "power source + role" stuff felt a bit forced. In retrospect, I think that's one of the weaknesses of 4e - "here's a...25 replies | 1199 view(s)

2024-05-02, 04:14 PMNope. Their goals are just sufficiently different that they end up with different actions. Their goal is "maximize comedy", and their actions...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-02, 12:45 PMNot directly, but it Okay, so let's start with kyoryu's rule. People make reasonable decisions based on their goals and knowledge. Why would...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-01, 01:31 PMThis. The assumption at this point is they'll find it eventually - the only question is how long it takes. Is there a time pressure...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-05-01, 12:39 PMI'm going to try to cover some general stuff, without getting into too many details. First, I'd like to frame this by stating that everyone in...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-30, 04:33 PMAt the extreme, ability to act without impacting outcome is just railroading. The trick is that you can't generally control outcome, though you...186 replies | 10659 view(s)

2024-04-30, 12:58 PMYou do not need to be able to predict with 100% accuracy the outcome of every choice, no. If you choose to back the Brotherhood of the Blade over...186 replies | 10659 view(s)

2024-04-30, 12:26 PMI'd say that a little differently. The GM is always right. But not because the GM is smarter or anything like that, or because THEY ARE THE VIKING...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-27, 07:18 PMAn interesting exercise is to take the behavior seen here, assume it is seen at his table (a reasonable assumption), and ask if there is a reasonable...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-26, 03:46 PMNo, I don't think anyone is saying that. What they're saying is that there's a magic phrase (even if reasonably easily deduced - but keep in mind...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-26, 12:00 PM1. Usually "railroad" is used in the larger context of a GM having a written-out plot that they are ensuring happens. I don't get the feeling this...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-26, 11:20 AMI dunno. I don't think Talakeal has bizarro world players. I think they're just really bad at understanding the players' POV, and what they do and...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-25, 10:45 AMI mostly agree. I think that any plan the players come up with should be treated as plausible unless there's a strong reason why it can't be based...186 replies | 10659 view(s)

2024-04-24, 10:21 AMI think the GM wears many hats. At one level, they're fans of the players. At another level, they're neutral arbiters of the rules. And at a third...375 replies | 16949 view(s)

2024-04-23, 03:15 PMI mean, really, in this case I think the answer is "don't force the players down a certain path". With this PC in tow, it might make more sense for...186 replies | 10659 view(s)

2024-04-23, 12:36 PMHey, Talakeal, read this response about ten times. One trend I've noticed in your horror stories is (from my perspective) that you know what would...375 replies | 16949 view(s)
