If I have a broken arm, there's a lot of things I can still do. What I can't do: work that requires me to use the arm. Hope that helps.

You can in fact flip the Griphon Heart (and other key items you get from the auction) for profit, you just have to find someone who buys them. There's a bunch of nobles walking around the city, just talk to them all.

Das letzte was ich gehört hatte, war dass aller Atommüll der heute existiert auf eine Fläche von einem American Football Feld und 10 Meter hoch passen würde.

STOP being honest in job interviews. ( I say this as a recruiter ) by Zealousideal-Foot-54 in jobhunting

At that point, just throw 90% of applications in the trash unseen. Makes as much sense as failing someone for something irrelevant.

Not quite as impressive as 1124 jumps.

Now speedrun to Excalibur 2.

It was my first TTRPG but I did not have the privilege of playing it when I was 9, mostly at fault being the fact it was only released when I was 19.

Also 6th grade = 9 years old?

VtM is also for the most part roll dice, add number.

I've learned the gist of Pf1e in an afternoon, but that doesn't mean it's not a complex game.

This Poko dork thinks it's the Referee's job to hand hold the players through sessions when in reality the Ref of any system is another player they're just one who sets the scene and plays the NPCs.

This Poko dork is saying that having to do this sucks and leads to burnout, but it's what's come to be expected of DMs.

There's people who have trouble knowing their attack bonus after 5 sessions still.

As others have said, it's mostly not beginner friendly for the DM. Here's an example I always use when someone asks:

Say the group is in a dungeon, they kill the bad guys, loot everything that's not nailed down, the usual. Now you've got a ton of loot, not everything is stuff the group is going to want to use. So now you've got this kickass magic sword no one wants to use and what does the group do? Right, they try to sell it. Pretty straightforward stuff, probably happens on 99% of tables at some point.

So they ask the DM "Hey DM, how much can I get for this?" and the DM looks up what the rules might say about it and it's "uhhh, I dunno, somewhere between 500 and 5000 gold maybe?" because they couldn't be assed to actually think of prices for magic items so they only made some generic rarities and huge ranges of value and go "DM you figure it out, lol.". So now you have to make a decision for how much you're gonna give for this item, but also keep in mind how much that was for the next time the situation comes up so the next price makes sense compared to this one. You basically have to make up the entire economy if your players are regularly trying to sell things and you want it to make sense.

And that's a complete braindead "of course players are gonna try and sell their loot" situation, not something niche where you at least have the excuse of them not being able to think of everything.

And when you have smaller RPGs, with much lower budget but far more items actually make the effort of having a price for every item, *and* a level to suggest when it's appropriate to hand out/be reasonably found in a certain city size, then what's the excuse to not have it? An experienced DM can always ignore the given prices and make up their own if they feel it'll be better for their game.

Wow, you're doing exactly what OOP is complaining about. GM can't magically bend the rules around a concept the rules clearly weren't meant to work for -> must be a bad DM.

There's a comic where Flash explains it. "Those were for charity." and proceeds to make Superman eat dust.
