#QuestionOfTheDay fictional prospect draft! You have the #1 pick in a draft of fictional heroes/heroines BEFORE they became heroic or powerful. You have no idea who the rest of your cast or party will be and no idea what other fictional characters you can acquire later or put around your draft pick so they may not necessarily develop into the powerful/heroic character they do in normal canon.

You can pick from any work of fiction.

Who do you choose to lead your party in a quest of unknown challenges and difficulty?

Last night's teens #DnD group that I DM only had two players show up (out of 5), so instead of playing, we had a 2-hour conversation about life, autism, religion, Sonic the Hedgehog, outdoor school, good vs. evil, bullying, anxiety, sky diving, and dinosaurs.

It was a fantastic discussion, and all three of us had a great time.

Gaming night doesn't always have to be about gaming to be fun.

#ScribesAndMakers Jul. 1 — What do you want to work on this month?

Working on any creative project at all will be a blessing with how things have been lately, but if the stars align I want to get more headway on a short piece of #historicalFiction I've been noodling with, start a write-up about the Joseon-era novel #BangHallimJeon about the asexual marriage of a transmasc-coded female husband and their fiercely independent (political?) lesbian wife that I promised @heatherrosejones (I haven't forgotten!!), and start talking marketing plans for the feminist horror #ttrpg#BluebeardsBride in Korea. Plus maybe rework a couple of stories that have been languishing on my hard drive to send them off for submission? And make an actual action plan for moving forward with research and rewrites on the big WIP? And restart art practice? So much to do! >_<

What, you said what I WANT to work on. I always want to work on All The Things. Whether I will is another question :P

@DeadUnicorn @ttrpg Giant stacks of dice are *FUN* to roll! And there's an inherent tension as you pull out sixes or ones, or total up to see if you beat a target.

Tunnels & Trolls/Monsters! Monsters! is far more exciting when you add more dice to your weapons, or OMINOUS when a monster has a stack of dice.

A one-roll or no-roll mechanic has a flat chance to get a good result, and no tension just blip. Easy isn't the same as fun.

Having run Old School Essentials for awhile, I gotta say that the Sleep spell is as broken as I remember from D&D. It can completely shut down a low level encounter. A 1st level Magic User will be useless for the rest of the day, but that encounter is solved. I just tell the players how much treasure their characters find and move on after that spell gets cast.

Am I going to house rule it? Absolutely not. Sometimes the players need a win button.
