http://codrus.livejournal.com/389467.html
Secret Writings of the Ash Ock. Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. August 29th, 2014. So, given that Ive got my copy of 5e D&D, I cant help but get a little into world and story building mode. At best, I expect to play a bit at work instead of a board game, but still, some creative juices are flowing. FWIW, also thinking about a science fiction setting again and how to make it playable, even it is possibly means a full reset of characters). The most common examples that always spring to mind:.

Secret Writings of the Ash Ock. Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. Entries by tag: dragonage. April 14th, 2015. I'll have a few pluses and minuses to list here, but the short review would be: Buy this game, it is probably the best RPG Bioware has done in 5 years. The last time I had this much fun was probably Mass Effect 2. Great characterization: All of the NPCs in your party are interesting, interact with each other more deeply, and have backstories. I've found myself digging deeper into st...

Secret Writings of the Ash Ock. Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. Entries by tag: 5e. Story building for Specific Character Classes. September 4th, 2014. Basically, only masochists and story-hounds really play wizards now. ;). The thread I want to pull on here is to take these lemons and make lemonade. Im often looking for ways to inject story into characters. So how might wizards solve this problem in a way that doesnt hit their treasure horde? Part of this last idea, if separated from the ...

Violence in Roleplaying Games - Secret Writings of the Ash Ock
http://codrus.livejournal.com/389930.html
Secret Writings of the Ash Ock. Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. Violence in Roleplaying Games. October 19th, 2014. Unknown Armies had a stat or two that reflected how inured the character was to violence and horror. Having a lower stat actually protected you from some situations, but made it harder for you in others, like when you needed to deal with people. I dont recall a social aspect to it, but I think Twilight 2000 based some of the combat stats on EXPERIENCE rather than game stats...

Secret Writings of the Ash Ock. Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. Entries by tag: roleplaying. June 15th, 2015. Our Pathfinder game mostly wrapped up yesterday, with us taking down the big bad. We'll have a final session at some point to decide what happens to each of our characters, but the game part of it is basically done. My list is a lot longer than this, but here are some of the things that get frustrating over time:. High level fights are super fast. I would say that in the last 5...
