Yea, that's a pretty hilarious thing in the Waterdeep Heist book. It has this weird fan-service image of the major tavern with a bunch of significant NPCs in there, one of whom is Elminster just sitting there chilling. The fact that he could potentially solve the entire adventure in less time than it'd take to finish his pint isn't addressed.

Halloween Jack posted:You'd think that the fanbase would rebel at the point where they're flat-out telling you "Nothing you do below epic-level matters, it's all a kiddie ride made by Ed's GMPC." Which is worse? Faerun, a metaplot setting where the god-tier DMPCs are going around doing cooler stuff than you? Or Deadlands, a metaplot setting where the god-tier DMPCs go around killing PCs after they do enough cool stuff? Edit: How come we never got an official Elminster stat block in 4e or 5e?

I think this is all skipping over the obvious campaign hook that the world is just an amusement park designed by a sufficiently powerful wizard.

Having read some FR and only F&Fs of Deadlands, the latter seems better because I can just write out Stone, or let the PCs whip his rear end. Whereas I've seen whole sections of FR sourcebooks that are just a waste. Halloween Jack fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jan 30, 2019 |

Deadlands has a far higher percentage of usable content for me as a GM. Deadlands however makes me hate the authors far far more.

Hey, there are enough pbp 4e games, is there a way to do a tactical grid that's easy to run from a phone and/or tablet? I want to run a Megaman X game in 4e or Strike! but would do most posting from my tablet during slow work days.

Horrible game hack thought of the day: D&D 5e but with the skill system stripped out and Fate aspects added (but keeping the full set of other mechanics, unlike 13th Age).

Rick definitely would be the kind of smuglord that would loathe 4e based on some knee-jerk notion, so that checks out.

I remember there was this guy on the RPGnet forums who was like "It's obvious that CoC D20 is meant for running action horror games" and used it to play Resident Evil, and posted Actual Plays, and his fun drove people loving crazy.
