No you don't. You can let people attempt to jump, but only suffer harm if they crit fail it. On a simple fail, they stop short of actually jumping. You see it on TV all the time. People run towards the chasm, and stop short because they decide they just don't have the momentum/guts/psycho to try to ...

I want to reiterate what Frank said. Sometimes your PC's will come up with a theory that is just more fun than what you had planned. So change your plan, and let their theory work out to be right. Also, never have stupid puzzles or mind games they need to solve. If the players need to know how you t...

I feel shame for replying to a Shadzar thread. That being said, part of playing an rpg is actually having the game. If you make a character that fundementally cannot join the party. Or two of the players make characters that will implode the campaign within 2 sessions. You've failed on first princip...

The way to do a jump check like that for a chase scene is actually pretty simple. Bad guy jumps the chasm.. PC's follow. they make jump checks: On a success, they make it to the otherside, and have to take a round to get up. On a Crit success, or if they make the DC by say more than 5... they just k...

Are you really going to sit there and complain that a show based on the Marvel Universe is going to lose your interest if it doesn't make sense? Marvel fucking universe? Just turn in your geek badge now. What's next.. you going to complain about the lack of good female role models? Or maybe how ther...

THere is one minor problem with Werewolf and Vampire as base classes. If you go with the idea of lycanthropy and vampires turning others.. then those don't make sense as a base class, because. What do you do with a level 8 Man-at-arms/Mage Hunter, who is bitten by a werewolf? Now, if you go with the...

5 levels for base classes is a good spot. You just have prestige classes, or advanced classes past level 5. Wizard: Goes on to Archmage, SongSmith, Enchanter, blahblahblah Cleric: Goes on to Holy guide, Holy Warrior, Hieorphant, Healer, Blasphemer. also, you don't have to use cleric as a base class....

I'm trying to figure out what I like in Sword and Sorcery fantasy. I liked Wheel of Time for the first 2-3 books. But then I just got tired of most of his characters. When you skip entire chapters, because you're tired of watching him write about a girl pulling on her tresses in frustration, it's ti...
