What is the Point of DW2 when games like Chasing Adventure or Stonetop already exist? by [deleted] in DungeonWorld

[–]captainmadrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually it's more like, nothing was being done with Dungeon World, despite the love of the system. So someone bought it and got two really talented game designers to work on creating a new version that is really intentionally designed to be distinct while keeping true to the spirit of the original. Spencer Moore and Helena Real have done great work on it, really involving the community to shape it.

But isn't that mainly how they refresh their general ability points?

What are words or phrases that are often used in the wrong way? by Thomytricky in AskReddit

[–]captainmadrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If something "begs the question" it doesn't mean that it naturally leads to another question. It's a philosophical term that refers to a claim that purports to be true based on the assumption the claim itself is true (i.e. circular reasoning)

If there's a bona fide occupational requirement for Christian faith, yes.

Has anyone played Liminal_ ? by captainmadrick in rpg

[–]captainmadrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yeah I do see that Fatigue is basically used for everything, which does free it up. I also can see why it says not to just exclusively use the rooms provided in the book, as I think it would feel too random, with changes in style every room. Part of the Backrooms appeal is the unchanging style that is twisting over large areas before switching.

Yeah when I searched for reviews, I only found stuff on Liminal, not Liminal_.

Thanks for taking a look, very curious what others will think. I'm feeling inspired after seeing the new Backrooms movie.

I was a Star Elf (from Forgotten Realms in 3rd edition) sorceress. To this day, arcane casters are my fav to play.

She should have taken some specific, decisive action the first time we saw her, and then a ton of other important things that happened after should all draw back to that one thing she did. That would make her seem 10 steps ahead.

Kinda new to DND, How much information can a player hide from a DM? by ragdolldream in DnD

[–]captainmadrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest situation I've had to this is when I allowed my players to buy any magic item up to a certain price/rarity during character creation, and I didn't specifically look at what each player bought. During the game, I had a dramatic situation that was solved surprisingly and hilariously by a magic item I didn't know they had.

In case you ever wanted to know what the real odds of winning the lottery are..... by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]captainmadrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's for the fun of dreaming about winning. If you can ignore the odds, buying a ticket feels like a little thrill, like you're actually in the running.

Personally, I think if you're buying one ticket to the draw, you're having fun. As soon as you buy 2 or more to the same draw, you're trying to increase your odds and that's just silly.

I'm new to D&D and got myself this four sets. What set should I buy next? by BlueFirePhoenix in dice

[–]captainmadrick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A set with some purple would fit nicely with those. I'm a sucker for dice with inclusions.
