I was the opposite. I’d have an adventure first session, and a general idea of what was going on in the world, and then just ad-libbed everything from there. I don’t think I ever had anything besides a map of where I thought the party would be for the session, and some npcs. I pulled so heavily from the monster manual for fights… I got a lot of utility from swapping stat blocks and just describing monsters weirdly.

Daggerheart has a system for character’s bonds with each other that could very easily be ported to other systems.

I don’t understand how silence “hard-counters”… I mean it blocks most casting for a round but it’s only a 20 foot sphere, that can easily be moved out of. Yes it gives like one turn of disabling a caster, but honestly, lots of spells give that already. Dilligent casters in a magic heavy setting probably know the dangers of silence and have prepared ways to work around it. I just don’t understand how it’s possible, like you say, “hard-counter every boss”. In specific situations, sure. But “every”? That would seem to me like just not a very smart/tactical DM you play with.

Just a little bit. It was so left field… Like who the hell even thinks about Amy Winehouse anymore? outside of actual fans of her music.

Githzarai: Embraced logic and the teachings of Surak. Githyanki: Rejected logic and embraced violence, left Vulcan and journeyed out into the stars to seek a new home. Wait… I’m getting my canon’s confused again…

23 years ago, I actually had a good friend come out in the middle of a campaign, as part of the campaign. They were playing a basilisk that had been shapeshifted to a human by an evil wizard and their character arc was just about getting their real body back. It was extremely awesome.

Huh, I had no memory of him being in The Martian. To me he’ll always be Troy. With a backup of Childish Gambino because I showed this clip to a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMY9y-6W_fQ And the friend said he resembled the musician, which is how I found out that actor also has a rap career. Anyway, thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Well they made the die

Look at dragons

Glad to open your horizons lol

Fate’s solution to this is so good. It’s so nice not to leave to chance the important binding glue of the party, while still making it part of gameplay. I use Fate’s character/ party rules as house rules for every game system I GM.

that looks fun to play

Good point.

Back in the 80s we were just guessing most of the time. At least until Akira was released in the United States in 1988 and only then white people started realizing there was a market.

Redo of Healer posting

Not my little pony: friendship is magic? Edit: after scrolling down, others got to it first.

Emphasis on the “pal.”

What is the movie?

Looks at the Hunter: The Reckoning first edition books that are well worn at this point. “Well shit.”
