Boba Pearl posted:You can do dark souls combat, by stealing from WoW / FF:XIV raids. Place a large hitbox on the field, anyone in that hitbox will receive X amount of damage. They start to get more complex as the battle goes on. From what I understand most DND 4e battles don't go past turn 4 or 5, so you want to up the complexity fast. Maybe even open with the attack so that it can't be avoided the first time, and then place the hitbox down for the next time. straight up, stealing 14 style AOE indicators is an easy way to add some dynamics to a fight. I got a lot of mileage in a 5e campaign all the way up through the final boss just out of stuff like "the flame jets on the LEFT HALF of the arena start to flare up, looks like bad news in about a round!" or "the giant flesh ball is slowly approaching you and forcing you closer to the cliffs edge" or "the boss summons a bunch of crystals that will each cast a spell if they still exist in a round"

no like they're playing a ttrpg but get paid and do better voices like if I go to the park to play soccer with friends I am fundamentally still playing the same sport a professional player is, I'm just not as good at it and don't dedicate time to it in the same way

like I think the worst you can level at popular APs is that they bring a lot of people into the hobby that want their games to be more like the ones they see on their favorite shows, which generally means a lot of in-character roleplaying and interpersonal drama. However this is the kind of game I like, so it's a good thing imo.

hyphz posted:It's just another thing that ties into the weird social position of the GM, where they're expected to facilitate the activity but also create the desire for it as well in order to facilitate it. It's like being a wedding planner except you also have to get the couple together and convince them to get married so that the wedding happens to plan it. no

there was an entire discord made to give hyphz normal people to talk about ttrpgs with and to play games with so he could see that it is possible to play an rpg and it ended with hyphz getting banned from the discord made for him

ngl all the issues people are having with invoking your backstory seem like issues that exist only on forums where people talk about theoretical weird tables. im the failed knight im gonna impose myself between the ruffians and those travelers. im the princess without a kingdom lemme navigate this complex social situation or know how to hide a knife on a fancy gown to this dicey political get together. easy

the only reason there are any enemies or conflict at all is because the players showed up to play. by this line of reasoning, players ought to realize that the enemy only exists because of them, and efficiently deal with the issue by not playing

Nessus posted:Rightly or wrongly it is a stumbling block, and I know people who flat refuse any PBTA game because they were disgusted by the sex moves in AW. Hardcoded, full stop, don't bring it up or I'll be upset rejection. The entire constellation is dead to them. i empathize with this worldview, because i'm the exact same way except with italian food and an annoying guy i knew in middle school
