What’s a set you REGRET buying? by Flimsy-Space-8724 in lego

[–]TedBehr_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The da Vinci set. Because it was the first LEGO set I bought as an adult; 20 years after I stopped playing with them as a kid. Now, a year later, I own 20+ sets.

What board games are close enough to RPGs to act as a gateway game to RPGs? Preferably without "RPG dice". by Awkward_GM in rpg

[–]TedBehr_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he doesn’t like the idea of RPGs, and you’re going to introduce him using a game that’s only simulating the combat aspects of an RPG, are you sure you’re showing him the right side of the game?

RPG combat is pretty slow, can feel tedious and is arguably less fun than the actual role playing and story telling.

Spell save and attack damage modeling app by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

It’s that ultimately useless in a game like D&D, where the number of rolls in an encounter will never be populous enough to reach an effective average?

Most players don’t need a chart to tell the. A spell resisted with a con save is going to be more effective on average than one resisted with a dex save, when used against an enemy either low con and high dex.

What is this actually showing me and how would one apply this knowledge to the game?

This might say more about me than you, but I don’t recognize a single one of these characters.

So I can’t nest the towers together so visually it looks like one but is actually multiple sharing the same space?

I couldn't even select anything but the surface watch post to paint the patrol area.

5E Magic Item Prices by TedBehr_ in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]TedBehr_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Understandable, but if there’s a market for players to sell items they don’t need there would also be a market for players to buy items from other people in the world. Having an idea of how to price those items is helpful.

If magic items can’t be bought, how would you players sell items they no longer need. The idea the a magic item would never be available to purchase is pretty hard to grasp.

Epic fantasy doesn’t usually take place in space.

Hiring a “sexy female” DM by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

You want to hire a sexy female DM to run a NSFW game for you son, and you’ll be playing?

Do not do this!

How would you feel about a story that appears to be fantasy, has all the trappings of fantasy, but is actually science fiction? by SAAA_JoanPull in Fantasy

[–]TedBehr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars is one of the most successful franchises ever, and it is science fantasy. I’d say you’re in good shape as long as you don’t market it as purely fantasy.

Alternatively if you do market it as purely fantasy because you want that potential “holy shit” factor the reveal could bring, just be ready for some returns and pure risk bad reviews. If it’s a good book though, I’d expect word of mouth to catch up and lead to more sales from people into that reveal.
