What exactly was your thing? Because the Heathcliff weapon modification system uses item tags, which are a thing in Powered by the Apocolypse and not DnD. Take out the tags and you're left with "collect special items and trade them in for weapon modifications." It's totally plausible that two people would individually come up with that. If you are referring to the weapon tag system (i.e. Magic + Narf Blaster, Loud + Jacket) then that's a PTBA thing and not a Griffin thing, so take it up with them.

Take out the tags and you're left with "collect special items and trade them in for weapon modifications." It's totally plausible that two people would individually come up with that. Yeah it was a tag system where each item had a capacity and each tag had a specific point value. So you could attach "exploding" to a pair of boots to basically rocket jump or attach "paralysis" to boxing gloves to make people keel over. I've heard great things about PbTA so maybe I should scrap what I have and just play that  Edit: In the message to him I talked about how my players had the option of recovering items as a side quest, turning them over to an NPC and then playing a little game for a semi-random item, which is wjere the list of 200 came into play.

Also, you know, even if Griffin did use your idea in the podcast, it would be because it was in an email you sent him saying "use my idea in the podcast".

Yep and I'm 100% okay with that. Kinda why I did it, y'know. My point is that he's usually so good at giving credit that I'm assuming it's a coincidence.

Yeah, that's something that comes standard in PbtA systems. Here's a PDF with the basic character sheets for each class in Monster of the Week, the Amnesty system. On the first page, Under "The Chosen" (Duck's class!) Look under "Your Special Weapon" for some examples of tags. There's probably more under different classes. Urban Shadows, the Dusk system, also had item tags that didn't really come up during the mini-arc. So basically what I'm saying is that Griffin didn't rip you off, and you should definitely pursue legal action against the creators of Powered by the Apocalypse.

Soinds good. My team of lawyers thinking I have a good case since my garbage was unpublished nonsense made at the same time as a popular, refined system. Hell, if that weird Christian author can successfully sue the Matrix people, why can't I? I'm joking of course.

Didn’t he mention a person who sent in a huge list of items on the podcast one time? I think he said something like “thanks so much, but I’m never gonna read all these”

I abandoned it since I didn't want to rewrite them all for a new setting (they were mostly horror themed) but if I can find it I can PM a link. It was a helluva lot of fun to write and balance. Some were fairly mundane like "The Gumshoes" which increased your Investigation skill but lowered your speed, or a one-time summon of a Fae lawyer that would break you out of any contract without repercussions.

Making my way through TAZ for the first time. It’s ironic that Murder on the Rockport Limited takes place on a train and they just go completely off the rails from the word go.

If you like TAZ, I suggest listening to Not Another D&D Podcast. The name is dumb but it has a lot of the same energy.

That's totally fair. I have a special fondness for it because one of the hosts also does Drawfee and I love that show.

Has anyone here listened at all to "D&D is for Nerds"? What do you think of the podcast? I listened to a few eps and it seemed like they were 4 extremely giggly australians playing so-far-pretty-straightforward DnD, but it was decently entertaining edit: the half-elf wizard character has an amazing name to pronounce on a cast edit edit: this d&d podcast also has their own take on a garfield character Pacra fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jun 9, 2018 |

yea I gotta download that, I have a friend into MMA who also used a mask for exactly one fight prep and described as 'so bad I was eager to just get to the fight and get punched'. I imagine it's a thing in general 'well some athletes do this, ergo it's healthy, ergo EVERYONE should do it' fitness circles?

I read an article a while back digging into the studies on those training masks, and the conclusion was that if they made any difference at all, it was that it made you perform worse. Boy howdy, was the comments section on that one a fun ride.

Yea all I've seen on them not by quacks and/or people selling the masks has been 'MAYBE long term, like years long term, it helps endurance a significant amount. The problem is everyone is using them short term right before fights/marathons/whatever and holy poo poo your body should not be doing that stuff while you're training it to adjust to conditions like that'.
