Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

An example of something we discussed before regarding effort and information that players may never even get near let alone use is the scrap below. To find it, the players have to decide to open a standalone 5'x5' shrine building on the ground level of the cemetery/ necropolis which releases the zom...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Love the update, Bret. It also raises a question for me: how do you handle the party splitting up in game? I'm glad you asked -- because it reminded me to ask you that same question. :) I am coming back to this question to add, I really enjoyed the breakout sessions I've had over the last couple of...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Next work session is coming up. Thought I'd post my preparation notes and see what input anyone has if any, knowing it is not easy to follow without the maps and unwritten context. Session 18 preparation: 0845: Beginning of Session. Captain Zeno arrives at Stoa to join guards just after Null stepped...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey xeno, good to hear from you. I mentioned up thread I have a new player in our work campaign who had no D&D experience but is fun to have in the game. His only experience was having played BG3 and listened to an actual play. That seems to have given him an intro to the mechanics and a sense of h...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience

I'm hopeful the reverend will stop by and share his thoughts. Some of the somewhat difficult uses of God that comes to mind in ancient contexts include Plato telling us Socrates referred to God and gods in different ways. Many Socratic writings reference God and gods in ways that suggest the former ...

Hey huckelberry, I think you may find this interesting when it comes to the subject of language relativism:

Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

There have been attempts to make aesthetics objective and measurable, including a few neuroscientists such as V.S. Ramachandran. Their approaches include the suggestion at least some of our aesthetic appreciation is tied to exaggerating evolutionary advantages that create exaggerated responses. The ...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I'm curious how the campaign is going / went? Did you manage to get though the game without reloading a save point? I apologize for taking so long to get back to this, I'd like to say I have a good excuse but sometimes life is just a jerk. Ultimately that campaign died due to a bit of trolling from...

Re: Cannon Fodder: Law Clerks Quit On Judge Aileen Cannon

I think Cam is saying the article is a case of printing the legend, so to speak: What does Judge Cannon have to say about clerks quitting on her? Over the past few days, I have sent multiple emails to the Public Information Office for the Southern District of Florida and to Judge Cannon’s chambers, ...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I couldn't have let that all happen if I'd been following the original rules—it would have been wildly unfair to the other players, letting him get like ten times as much experience as they did just because he got so much loot that they never knew about. It was a little out of control, even as it w...
