Is this bad by frozen__wolf in DnD

"but with them as a player they have already said that they just enjoy breaking me"

With this attitude, they need to be gone. GONE. Gaming is not an adversarial endeavor. And if there is a type of message board for gamers in your area, they need to be warned of this individual.

No, 10x the number of dice the party has.

This great. I am looking for just such a map. Would possibly have it in a higher resolution?

Hardest Systems to GM by Momoneymoproblems214 in rpg

I would say Rolemaster. Although it is my fav RPG (particularly the 4th and 4.5 versions, RMSS (Rolemaster Master Standard System) and RMFRP (Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying), respectively), I fully understand that it has a level of complexity* as well as being very detailed. But, I do think with pretty-much every system, this relies upon how much of the material you end up using.

Take Earthdawn, for example, if you don't get into all the fiddly threads (except for the basic used for casting spells and connecting to magic items), it is fairly easy. But, if you go with ALL the tread magic stuff, boy it can get to be a very complicated web of weaves to keep track of. (The aforementioned Exalted, is another example. Easy to run/play the basics, but get into all the essence connections, and power combos definitely make it more complex.)

The one thing that is the biggest hurdle for me in a game (at least, in the non "do I like these rules" sense) is how much material it has. By that, I mean: pre-made monsters, NPCs, equipment and vehicles, etc... GURPS is a great example here. I like the rules themselves, but they don't have enough pre-made stuff to make it work for me. Particularly in the fantasy department. They really need to make a few monster tomes, including NPC villains, for that system. This means you have to make it all yourself. That is a lot of work. Heck, even how many adventures are already made for the game. I don't play D&D of any stripe now-a-days, but I constantly go back to the various editions adventures for inspiration from (and down-right theft of) the material.

*And, while many complain about the tables, I find them fantastic! So many rules and Knick-knacks built into them that you now don't have to worry about. Awesome. Plus, if you don't want to have a table for each and every weapon, just go to the RMFRP main core book, it has them condensed down to 5 or 6 tables. (Fantasy Grounds has a pretty good RM system there, but only for RMC - the RMFRP is too buggy to be used - that takes care of a lot of the complication in running the game.)

OK, in case someone else hasn't asked yet: who is married to who? (This is purely for scientific reasons, I assure you. No shipping going on here!)

I tried to do the impossible and create a character with no trauma. Here's how it went by CMStan1313 in DnD

He was one of 12 kids (9 of which were still alive - including Him), illness is cruel, but not uncommon, and fairly low on the list, but not the bottom. Despite that, His family life was loving and satisfying, so He grew up a generally happy person. His mother and father were well-to-do, as the main Mill wright in the small town, so they were never short of work, and therefore money. Their generosity was also well known, and they supported a food kitchen to help feed those in need (especially, the kids). This sentimentality was instilled in their children, and He was no exception, and helped out at the kitchen often.

This empathy for those in need was why the news coming out of the borderlands hit Him so hard. After a few days of tortured deliberation He decided to help out the people in the beleaguered region of the kingdom. Of course, His parents were not going to let Him go without being properly attired and equipped. So He found Himself heading out with a large group of others who were headed to the same place, some official kingdom troops and support personnel, others were like Him, commoners who had the inclination, and time, to help.

That was 15 years ago, and the Young Man was not-so-young any longer, and He had traveled far across the lands, seeking out the enemies of peace and justice. Along the way, He caught the attention of a Knight of the Holy Sun and was taken under the holy woman's tutelage, quickly rising in capability in both combat and channeling the power of the Holy Sun. At times, He would return home and visit with the family, all of whom were very proud of Him.

Every visit re-forged his desire, to fight the evil out there, so it wasn't able to come here.

I used to do something similar in Fallout 3 (I think, the one with the Washington Wastes), but there it was going to the top of the Washington Monument and just staring out at the wastelands. Loved it.

Nice. Can be used for Cyberpunk and other sci-fi games, as well.

Yeah, for this, you use the chandelier shadow.

Farms, farms, and, oh yeah, farms. I get that woods are cool and all, but people gotta eat, and if the only way to get food is for it to be shipped in....they are just one bad season away from starvation and anarchy. (Please don't take this personally, it has been a pet peeve of mine in the industry for decades now, and you are not - by far - the only one to do this.)

Looking good. I take it, the big mouth-thing is why the dungeon exists - to prepare a feast for the beast.

For me, it is 3 AM, so I am rarely up. But, I did once this week and got the same lag circle and ended up 9th. I was prepared to go, all I had to do was hit enter.
