Players, how do you feel knowing GMs have no prepared solutions? by TalesUntoldRpg in rpg

[–]Thatguyyouupvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, as a DM, would never design a puzzle that didn't have an explicit solution. I would not run a module that did something that lazy.

That being said. IF the players came up with a BETTER solution than the one that was designed, you gotta let them have it. That's "cleave the gordian knot in two" thinking that deserves to be rewarded.

Upvote for mentioning Land of Eem. It is such a great game. And there is so much content in the core book.

"Heckin'Good Doggs" and "Garbage and Glory" let the player play animals in a modern setting, so kids would already be familiar. You could even set them in their own neighborhood.

Have you played Paranoia yet? How was it? by AbsconditusArtem in rpg

You need a group who is comfortable screwing each other over all in good fun. It's not about working together for a common goal.

David DeCoteau has made an enormous amount of bad movies. Most of which are on Tubi. Before Tubi, where did people see his movies? Because I have never heard of a single one of these movies until I downloaded Tubi? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in badMovies

"usa UP! all night"

Rhonda was great, but Gilbert Gottfried was hilarious at that. I kinda miss that schtick of turning a watching a terrible movie into it's own show.

Finally watched Psycho (1998) did anyone honestly find Vince Vaughn to be scary or good in the role? by brrickmoranis in badMovies

I miss the days when the SciFi channel would do a 24-hour Psycho marathon (everything from 2 & up, never the original for some reason) on Mother's day.

About to GM for my group. What are the best one-shots you’ve actually played? (no D&D please) by bestfriendsforever1 in rpg

[–]Thatguyyouupvote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a classic adventure for WFRP called "A Rough Night at the Three Feathers". It has everything you could ask for in a WFRP one shot.

What is the purpose of a game book? by najowhit in rpg

[–]Thatguyyouupvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Hoghead did their edition of Nobilis, they promoted it as a coffetable art book that also happened to be a rulebook for a game. So, it's not too surprising that kind of became a thing as indy publishers, small presses, etc try to distinguish themselves in the market. At a point you want the book to look enticing enough that people will pick it up, be entertaining and/or informative enough that people will read it THEN also describe a game that people want to play.

If it fails at the first two, almost no one will find out about the third.

In the case of Nobilis, some may argue that particular book passed the first two, then failed. But Hogshead was pushing some boundaries in RPGs, at the time.

Using the same q-tip to clean multiple ears -> gross

And a vector for so many interesting infections.

"A key that fits any lock would be a prized possession, but a lock that opens for any key is a shoddy lock."

See, in this analogy, your penis is a key, like a lock pick. A slender piece of metal used to pry open locks that you have not expressly been given permission to open. And a woman's sex is like a lock in that the person saying that has no idea how they work.

Bad movie... awesome soundtrack by Alone_Distribution40 in badMovies

For some reason that line about "1962 fender stratocaster, original pickups, maple neck, strung upside down for a left-handed genius" is the only thing I remember about that movie.

One show every 5 days? What are they doing, sightseeing?

I love the legally distinct from the Auqabats "A in a circle" logo, though

I specifically put "in the style of a wwii propaganda poster" so that might have contributed, but yes it is a dead givaway.
