I think, as GM, the art is what questions to ask.
The GM should keep control of the discussion. There is a big difference between open questions like "what are vampires in this world?" and closed questions like "what is the name of the vampire queen?" It depends on the group how open questions can be without everything devolving into insanity.
Yes. Mausritter also uses the 2-page format a lot and I also like it there.
Nice work! Here is my quick brain dump:
- trumpets for an announcement
- horses riding
- goblins cackling
- force field / magic sizzling
By the way, isn't the light-dark switch inverted?
Looking at all the responses here, it is a quite successful troll post.
Automotive developers successfully switched from barely-knowing-C to barely-knowing-C++. Surely, they will be equally successful in switching to barely-knowing-Rust.
Orcs in Tolkien’s work were rather a stand in for German soldiers since he fought them in WW1. Gygax simply sourced monsters from everywhere. Only later they became elevated to sentient beings and a playable race… uh… species now (D&D 2024).
I'd say "character vs character" is fine as long as as the "players" are both fine.
Thanks. It really feels like a friendly community here for me.
Thanks 😊
I’ve seen many a good wargame and wargamer spoiled thanks to the fair sex. I’ll detail that if anyone wishes. -Gygax
There is clearly more than dragon alignment. Apparently, Gygax has made some bad experiences and calls out women as a threat to his wargaming (i.e. ttrpg) hobby. It also doesn't seem to be an off-hand mention since he dares his readers to ask for more.
Btw he wrote this years before he even met Lorraine Williams, so more bad experiences ahead. He was married for nearly twenty years at the time of this quote. Not sure if that means anything.
Crates.io has tags like scripting. It suggests languages like rhai, dyon, or rune.
