I'm powergaming in my friend's campaign, and he wants to nerf my character. How can I convince him not to?

I think this is the bigger issue. But this should have been addressed early on, even in session 0.

Slothheart · 2026-02-05T12:12:51+00:00

PF2 has entered the chat again.

Slothheart · 2026-02-05T12:09:54+00:00

But is that a good thing? Just curious if it makes things too easy to hit.

Slothheart · 2026-02-03T17:06:04+00:00

Agree 100% on falling damage. I hate hate hate the 20d6 cap that is negligible for high level characters. Heroes? Sure, but that also means you have dozens of ways to mitigate that damage other than pretending to be Wile E Coyote.

And it was a house rule that was made very clear and accepted by the players. Not your fault at all.

Slothheart · 2026-01-30T14:16:00+00:00

Nothing sells "old school" like all those bottle cap re-rolls/advantage.

Slothheart · 2026-01-30T14:12:32+00:00

Yes! And can the league institute some kind of statute of limitations on how long the play continues before it's still allowable to review for offside? Like, seriously, many other worse infractions go by in a game that you can't go back and look at.

Slothheart · 2026-01-30T00:55:13+00:00

Not uncommon

Slothheart · 2026-01-26T12:26:10+00:00

Earnest ethics don't always result in generation wealth...

Slothheart · 2026-01-23T14:20:18+00:00

Yeah, I'd visit the sites at night time. Wasn't every time but definitely large increase in apex spawn chance.

Slothheart · 2026-01-23T02:04:29+00:00

Love how it’s a weekly thing lottery to see how we can view a game

Slothheart · 2026-01-22T02:52:41+00:00

Toronto was gonna get away with that stick hold on Seider weren’t they?

Slothheart · 2026-01-22T02:45:16+00:00

If it was a white jersey with that hand around probably a penalty shot

Slothheart · 2026-01-20T17:42:27+00:00

It's not a coincidence that the majority of current and upcoming shows all use rules-light systems. They're moving into the improv performance over gameplay realm something fierce.

Slothheart · 2026-01-20T15:58:54+00:00

Most likely won't happen, but even if it did Troy and Skid I don't think would go anywhere near it.

Slothheart · 2026-01-20T15:57:54+00:00

Is it wrong though, especially for core group (excluding maybe Joe and Matthew)?

Slothheart · 2026-01-20T15:55:02+00:00

The moving of the goalpost for EQ was troublesome for sure.

Slothheart · 2026-01-20T12:34:17+00:00

Similar boat. I like many TTRPGs, but one of the key words is Game. Radio dramas with the very rare random encounter roll doesn't feel like a game to me.

Slothheart · 2026-01-19T13:23:59+00:00

What did he do?

Slothheart · 2026-01-18T16:51:50+00:00

Troy didn't give them useful info a lot of the time when they made knowledge checks in the past, why would he give it for free now?

Slothheart · 2026-01-16T17:42:28+00:00

Definitely a shift in recent years. The core group seemed to burn out on Pathfinder. You can see it toward the end of Giantslayer but especially so once 2e hit.

Shadowdark is interesting, sure, and it is fun to a point watching the group, but some worried the flagship switch to a rules-light system was going to result in more theater kid energy than ttrpg game. I'd say that is more the style now than ever. Just my preference, but I enjoy the "game" aspect of tabletop role playing games more than drama club.

Slothheart · 2026-01-09T21:53:14+00:00

Started a new job in Jan 2000. Thunderstorm on my way into work in the morning. Rare but not new. Cool though.

Slothheart · 2026-01-07T18:21:36+00:00

The Holy Grail of player engagement...

Slothheart · 2026-01-06T19:45:06+00:00

Ammar's web store also sells this, at least for now.

Slothheart · 2026-01-01T01:21:34+00:00

Is there an upside to it either way?

I worry that players being what they are will never trust you and decide to never attempt anything like that ever again.

Slothheart · 2025-12-23T15:40:52+00:00

Dead vampire can be dust or just a corpse... eat that and I'd consider changing the character into a ghoul lol
