Re: Campaign Quotes, No Context Edition VII: (Edited for less context)
Oh I don't know. Move to a point buy & choose char gen, drop lots of unnecessary crap, drop lots of stuff you don't want to bother with like encumberance & ammo tracking, don't roll a lot of the time if you think the outcome should go a certain way... Sure, you'd end up with just another janky D&D knockoff with a terrible magic system, but it could work with a good enough DM.
Not saying it'd be a birthday cake, but at least you could avoid food poisoning and your hair wouldn't be on fire. Ya know, like minimum competency "this game can be played". After that its just on the DM to make up missing stuff & make it fun.Last edited by Telok; 2022-07-25 at 12:20 PM.

Re: Campaign Quotes, No Context Edition VII: (Edited for less context)
Well then you could take D&D and "Move to a point buy & choose char gen, drop lots of unnecessary crap, drop lots of stuff you don't want to bother with like encumberance & ammo tracking, don't roll a lot of the time if you think the outcome should go a certain way..." and end up in the same place eh? Neuter any system of mechanics down to minimum competency mediocrity game that it takes a good experienced GM to make into more than a basic combat boardgame plus unstructured improv. What are you left with?
But that's a tangent. Here's another from last week:
"The sound of butchering hogs with a wood axe and random screaming. Must be the barbarian stealth scouting again."

PC2: (me) "I smack him lightly across the back of his head."
PC1: "OW! Ow--dammit PC2, PC3's a big girl, she can smack me herself! Damn, that smarts..."
PC2: "I barely grazed you."
PC1: "I roll to establish that he did not, in fact, 'barely graze me'." (4sux)
PC2: "I will challenge that fact and say I *did* barely graze him." (5sux) "AHA!"
This is definitely what fact establishment is for.Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

New Paladin PC to Pirate PC: "Are you evil?"
Pirate: "Well...pirate, slave trader, drug trader, brothel owner, and I did make a deal with an Old One who ended up destroying a city, but I don't know whether any of that counts as evil. You'd have to ask him." (indicates party leader)
Later, the party leader. "Evil? No, I have a complex theological justification for that." (which he never explains)Junior, half orc paladin of the Order of St Dale the Intimidator: "Ah cain't abide no murderin' scoundrel."
