I have never been so fairly and accurately insulted! Shame on you!

I stole that voice from Gilbert Gottfried.

That font is appropriate to the setting, but kind of hard on the eyes.

Guess you had to be there.

Are we debating the morality of pretending to be a fantasy elf again? Oh good.

To be fair, 2HP and a cleric with full spell slots is a very different situation to 2HP and nuthin'.

Death or glory! Even if we die today, our names will be immortal!

Actually if combat are long enough that re-inforcement have the time to come you’re doing something wrong.

I thought then and I think now that a rule which can potentially increase the number of opponents every round shouldn't apply in every combat. And that running a TTRPG as a solo wargame with (very!) occasional participation by other players is a bad way to have fun with your friends.

Good call. Makes sense in fantasy combat-context.

At the start of combat, roll a d4. In that many rounds, something (usually something bad) will happen.

I once had a GM whose house rules included every battle receiving enemy reinforcements each d4 rounds. One combat took three weeks to resolve. At the end there were four factions in the ruckus and it was taking about 60 minutes per round for him to run it. After the first evening we weren't even trying to fight anyone, we were just withdrawing.

So a lot of these suggestions need "...but not to the point of bogging down the game" added.

Was it a TTRPG? I thought the writers were developing for an MMO that got cancelled.
