I still don't get how any of this is of any worth to anybody. The main factor to why your idea is bad is that you are wasting countless words on it and still nobody knows exactly what you mean. The issue being that you probably don't know it yourself. Just like those artists who hope that their art ...

If you call a country where black people weren't allowed to vote a democracy, then, yes, the USA are the oldest continuous democracy. You can certainly take the position that the US still isn't a democracy, but if you take the position that it is NOW then it probably fits whatever criteria you have...

Good point, but the cockatrice has always been a shitty monster: weak as fuck but you're a bad die roll away from dying, anyway. You don't feel heroic in defeating one but you feel bad being defeated. I'd just either change the effect from petrification to paralyzation, make it non-permanent or add ...

Design a monster generator, write down a list of monsters ordered by intended difficulty, flesh them out with said generator, and then make adjustments to specific monsters and/or the order of the list. This is in fact the wrong methodology. You want to design a bunch of monsters and then create a ...

Die rolls are not inherently problematic. Indeed, die rolls are necessary if there is any disagreement possible as to the outcome of an action. Rolling dice can be fun but it can also be stupid and it doesn't necessarily remove the MTP. The hard part is figuring out when there is no stupid and no M...

Using a curved RNG does not introduce any additional math on the player side. The statistical properties of the RNG are something the designer and MC have to account for, but from a player's perspective there's really no difference - roll dice and add bonuses vs target number. But the MC is a playe...

I think the take 10/20 mechanic is infinitely better design than stupid bell curves which only lessen a symptomatic pain in the ass by introducing needlessly complicated math. Btw, if you really want the common situation of players failing 3% of the time, simply use a d100 and let them fail on exact...
