@CédricAntunes and I've done a bit of drawing before but drawing with a mouse is far too fiddly for my tastes. most of my background is in engineering sketching and diagramming anyway
i only use D&D 5e o: And I used to have many characters, one I played with for a while was a human barbarian-sorcerer. xD We were 2 barbarians in the group.
Oh no I'm fine.. I really love D&D 5e and started a year ago. I got all the core books and I try to stick with this :3 I really like a lot of things about it and I'm even inspired enough to take out elements of it for rpg games
not that i copy it word for word, i just take ideas i get from the core rules ~
I'm not complicated. xD First thing I had experience with was RPG Maker XP and Multimedia Fusion (now called Clickfusion) and I stick to the RPG Maker series, since they were really easy to use.
@Emrakul SATA controller on the motherboard -- was due for an upgrade anyhow so I replaced MB/CPU/RAM rather than throw a SATA controller in and try to limp it by
@Shalvenay sorry! Yes, it's a rapier. :3 But she once used a whip fighting off a flying demon and critically smithed her with 50 damage! xD So careful. (it was around level 6 or 7)
http://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/89534/how-long-does-a-hireling-work this was my first post~
11 hours ago :3 But still I wonder if there's no interest in that question. o: I really wanna try out the bounty system; but the post needs to be 2 days of age. =3=
i take it back, i had another older question which was 13 hours ago. XD
@CédricAntunes your profile page lists you at 2 days. That's because days are measured w.r.t UTC midnight, so about 2 hours ago your account hit its second day.
I like this page, I wish I had known of this months ago. I was always coming across ideas or thoughts relating to the D&D rules/bases.. But I would go sageadvice for these things
@CédricAntunes I stumbled across it a while back because I've always used the Stack to help me suss out odd fixes in LaTeX. Then one day I noticed an icosohedron in the Hot Network Questions sidebar, and... now I've got a problem =)
@CédricAntunes I'd be surprised if at least an answer doesn't come in within the next day of its own accord. RPGSE can be a little quiet on the weekends. (We're busy playing.) Then it gets hopping on Monday. (When we all come in with the lists of questions we've made while playing.)
I would like to see more questions that I might be able to give an answer to (or my thought that could help the asker 3)
It was a half to one year ago. XD Back then I used to be all about D&D, I took a big break from it when I moved to another country~ (No people to play here with)
Rofl xDD Nah, we just felt like doing so. I moved there with my girlfriend and my mother, me and my mother were tired of Luxembourg and its citizens and my girlfriend came up with the idea of moving to Portugal
@CédricAntunes (I'm pointing others' eyes toward a question I believe deserves a (V)ote (T)o (C)lose, as it is asking for a recommendation of what game to play/use, which is off topic here.)
@CédricAntunes Not necessary--I tend to do that when conversational threads start to overlap, hoping it makes it clearer to the reader exactly the context of whatever I'm saying.
@CédricAntunes Have a nice night!
@Shalvenay So how's your weekend been? Any good reading/gaming/shows/experiences?

I posted this question
Translation from classic systems to complete home-brew game rules
for which I got a very good answer for which I'm happy I asked this question here. Now my question has been closed. I don't know how important that is I just wonder where I did wrong so I don't repeat the sam...
Tonight's dinner is chunked pollock burgers fried in ginger wasabi teriyaki sauce with garlic, onions, bell peppers, and cayenne pepper, served on brown rice.
It was mostly Kitchen Nightmares, not Hell's Kitchen.
Therefore, you won't have to cook your meal with 30 second accuracy, but rather scrub the kitchen clean while I yell "My God, what is that?! F**** Hell! Bland, bland, bland!"
I'm pretty sure tonight's dinner was not bland. Ginger wasabi teriyaki with cayenne can be many things, but bland is rarely among them. Although pollock's primary quality is its timidity.
@eimyr It was fun! I talked with Josh about a few of the hiccoughs and there's some stuff to focus on more going forward, but for a first game in a system where only one person had ever played it before and hardly anyone had even cracked the book, we did pretty well mechanically.
I've got an idea for another scenario already, and Raycia suggested the game's structure might be good inspiration for My Little Psyche.
More important than the online factor is the trust factor. It only worked for us because we knew each other and had had conversations on similar subjects in casual, unforced circumstances. That took a lot of time to build.
Just sayin', if you want to move in that direction it'll take time and socialising.
From what I've read of other folks play DED, it's a fundamentally different experience when players have experienced colonisation firsthand and downwind, than when they haven't.
The Great Cypress Swamp (also known as Great Pocomoke Swamp, Cypress Swamp, or Big Cypress Swamp), is a forested freshwater swamp located on the Delmarva Peninsula in south Delaware and southeastern Maryland. As of 2000, it is the largest contiguous forest on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Located at 38°29′N 75°18′W, it is one of the northernmost of the Bald Cypress swamps common in the southeastern United States (Battle Creek Cypress Swamp in Calvert County, Maryland is slightly further north, but much smaller). It covers about 50 square miles (130 km2), mostly in southern Sussex County, Delaware. It...
I thought I had played DnD only in One-Shot sessions, but actually, I have played in a AD&D campaign at some point.
Oh, wait, and that DnD-based homebrew thing by the GM known for running politicsy backstabbing games, who said something about Dungeoneering so I went in with completely wrong expectations…
(Because most of it was still backstabby politics, except now in a dwarven city deep below the surface.)
@CédricAntunes My group plays a wide variety of games, many of them free and with very low sunk costs (quick to learn, little to no time spent on careful character generation before gameplay, no need for investment in props).
I used to play D&D pretty exclusively (3.5 and 4e), but have moved away from it almost entirely now because there are other games which better support my play goals.
I guess there is a good reason that many people start with big books. Because they give you lots of inspiration when you are not trained to play unsafe, maybe?
Don't get me wrong, there was a time when I really liked the private play aspects of D&D and I can appreciate the kind of system that takes weeks and months of effort to gain mastery over, but my gaming life has become a lot less stressful when I turned to systems I can learn in hours or days and start a game with new friends in fifteen minutes.
@Anaphory The only new-to-RPGs player I've ever personally played with who needed to be "trained" to play unsafe was myself.
Everyone else I've ever started with began by taking big risks and making wild innovations, which I'd have to say "no" to more than half the time if we were using the D&D system.
I don't think I wanted to gain system mastery in the beginning, but a world to delve into, similar to a novel, was fascinating – one of my favourite bits of the book (at least from the perspective of what I remember now) were the set-in flavour texts, for example written by the halfling merchant talking about food and that chameleon is the worst meat he ever ate.
Yeah, that stuff's a lot of fun. It's not the bulk of D&D's text, though. Dresden Files sprinkles its setting flavour throughout its rules text rather than in separate boxes; 13th Age makes the main NPCs of its setting and their agendas an intimate part of the mechanics for both GM and players; Freeport manages to spend about 250 pages on setting flavour without any mechanics at all.
@BESW i remember us talking about how one day, Tom and/or Stellata were going to head back there to retrieve that "staff" that is actually just a branch. so they'd bring a dumb branch back to Amaterasu HQ, and label it as some terrible powerful magical weapon. and then for as long as they can, Amaterasu HQ is just going to have this useless stick sealed away under maximum security.
then some wizard comes in one day to inspect it. wizard: what is this? this is just a useless stick. i can't feel any magic at all in it. scientist: i know! that's what's so powerful about it! it's so magical it even has the power to defeat all attempts to read it! wizard: my goodness! this is beyond my calibre, seal it away again quick!
I answered this question quite some time ago with a link that was useful to the asker at the time, but has since decayed (error 404). At the time, my answer was accepted, but it is now completely useless. Korvin's answer is still valid. I have flagged the answer.

On read-through I was not as impressed as I was by Microscope. I'm an official Follow playtester, but my RL weekly group disintegrated about three hours after the .pdf for Follow arrived =| We have hopes that November may do better than August, September, and October have done.
