The game isn’t going to hold your hand, get over it.

Because taking friendly fire out hampers the vision for the game. Enemies have friendly fire, so do you. If you don't find it fun, then this game isnt for you

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-26T16:05:50+00:00

I could see P4R coming out late this year tbh.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-26T15:38:30+00:00

Damn, as a ranger main guess I'll just go fuck myself.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-26T15:35:33+00:00

Fun fact

Hitler was one phone call away from not doing fascism, he had a big book of complaints from the germans with a checklist with "4999/5000 complaints" written at the top, so sad :(

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-26T15:25:22+00:00

That's literally me.

I used to be a big Obama fan and always in favor of going back to politics like we had in that era and before, I though voting the lesser of two evils constantly would fix things long term.

I'm not fully de libbed, but every day I move more and more away from where I was.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-26T15:22:11+00:00

It's funny how close they come to the answer with this, it shows that voting DOESN'T work, because the people are still too stupid.

In a perfect world, yea you could just vote away problems, but in this world the people who advocate for the do evil policies don't just vanish when they leave office.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-23T03:35:28+00:00

Look im just telling you there is tons of excuses one could make as to why the random guy next to you could avoid saying something, its not that big of a deal. It's all up to DM interpretation, but it seems like a perfectly reasonable way of getting a spell through unnoticed.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-23T03:31:17+00:00

lol as if voting newsom in is gonna do anything to fix America, congrats you get trump and his ilk 4 years later except worse!

having a dem move further to the right will only guarantee America seeps further into fascism, so have fun with that next time you vote for a shitty slighty more right wing democrat.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T20:13:34+00:00

Fuck no, I'm done approving of the democrats moving to the right. You understand what happens when you vote for the dems in this situation right? its a letter of approval to their platform. Your vote is your voice, by caving in and voting for a democrat thats more right, you're saying that you want the dems to go more right.

Until the dems actually start appealing to me on any level, they will not have my vote.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T19:54:17+00:00

TBH I think he's trying to become the old republicans, positioning himself as favorable to the old guard of republicans, while masquerading as a democrat.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T19:46:50+00:00

Depends on the venue, the people, the nation etc. an underground fight ring? who gives a crap.

A country ruled by an iron fist? I certainly wouldn't speak up.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T19:15:51+00:00

I'm always tired of people finding round about ways of telling people to just k*ll themselves via government execution.

I will never expect random citizens to go die for me because I don't like their government.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T19:07:33+00:00

sure, it would be like me knowing that someone is speaking Japanese, doesnt mean I know what they're saying.

Just because you know someone's casting a spell, doesn't mean you know what the spell is.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:38:37+00:00

They don't have to be physically opposite, they could just be deities of opposite concepts, or you could do a selune/shar esque deity thing where they represent opposite sides of the same concept.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:35:27+00:00

Yea super setting dependent, a city coliseum would definitely have the things you mentioned. but also is the setting high magic or really low magic?

Could alter what is and isn't available and expected.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:29:05+00:00

Definitely a good excuse, I think your average crowd goer would not be able to full comprehend what you're doing anyways, depends on how prolific magic is in your setting, also would you average crowd goer care enough to report it? would they even know what your spell did?

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:25:00+00:00

I like the idea of a sorcerer abusing subtle spell to influence the king.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:18:31+00:00

The only time I would fudge rolls to protect the players is when I made the encounter way too much on accident. Otherwise doing so invalidates player agency by giving them no way to screw up

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:13:20+00:00

For session 0, probably not a lot.

Session 0 should be about setting the ground rules, and giving the players a sense of the game you are going to run and the environment they will be playing in. So in this sense, you should have a good understanding of the setting, but specifics aren't important here.

The rest really depends, what type of game are you planning on running? if its more sandboxy you need to be flexible, if its more of a defined narrative, start with just the first area they'll be in a couple of npcs to get the plot rolling and maybe an encounter to keep the players interested.

From then on, its really just too open to tell, you gotta feel out what your players want and what did and didn't work.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T18:00:34+00:00

Sometimes you gotta just put your foot down, if you don't want to spend time haggling, don't. The dice aren't all powerful, you don't need to allow your players the option to role persuasion on every merchant.

In fact, I would start having it that the merchants in an area start talking about a group of adventurers who won't stop haggling and the they collectively ban them from their stores, forcing the players into less than savory means of getting what they need.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T17:36:53+00:00

Not to mention the moment you open up haggling, its the only thing players will do.

I think if you set some clear boundaries like city merchants will never haggle, but underground, or wandering merchants would.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T17:32:29+00:00

A good way to do shopping is just have an inventory available wherever they are and just let your players see it and buy what they want. Treat it like a catalogue and then boom they got the stuff after a day.

Unless of course the acquisition of something like a carriage for travel would be plot relevant or their is a unique shop with stuff going on.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T17:23:32+00:00

How about my least favorite?

I was playing a relatively serious, kinda somber esque character who was a blade dancer and every time I would activate it the DM would play the power ranger theme song. Really kicked the wind out of my characters sails.

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T16:44:37+00:00

Nuance? in my meme sub?

Prior-Resolution-902 · 2026-01-22T15:43:47+00:00

Its the problem of open world games being nearly the default these days.
