      Well of course they had an orange crayon - how else would they colour in their dice?

      Glad your back. I was starting to get nervous that you'd left us for "greener pastures" AKA "better food and snazzier clothes" :P

      Any tips to avoid player frustration and sustain engagement when revealing the falsity of 'truths' players have learned?

      your table social contract is different than mine, but i usually have a 50/50 mix of truth/false. my players use false to give me oh so many more hooks than when they have truths.
      some tables don't do well with intrigue, and no author can tell everybodies table how to do something/avoid something.

      It might make no sense to you, but it is a truth I've seen. Even if combat isn't the focus, it is the type of element that when it does come into play, it ends up getting involved with all other elments. In a high role-play game, you have to be able to role-play while in the midst of battle, but if the combat rules aren't fleshed out well, then the role-play can't mesh with the combat and it becomes a mess...if there is NEVER combat, then maybe you don't have to worry about the combat rules, but...

      "I don't want Skill Challenges, I thought they just turned out of combat into combat by another name."
      It's funny, because I found they didn't make out-of-combat challenges *enough* like combat! Not that I want any direct analogue to the combat system, here - it should feel different in any number of ways - but I don't just want a series of die rolls.
      I've written more extensively on the Forums about this, but I think the main things "missing" from non-combat action - in all editions...

      I'm a guy. I like pretty women. But all these bikini-clad or bare-midriff adventurers are ridiculous. It makes NO SENSE. It breaks immersion. And it makes it that much harder for many girls or young women to find D&D approachable.
      Also, as a guy who likes playing funny characters, I think the occasional funny-looking guy or gal is perfectly appropriate. D&D is about adventure, but there should be room for other elements, and one of those is humor.
      Don't make D&D so...

      The idea of further nerfing weapons bugs me. I'd rather see a modifier that makes that awesome chain weapon or polearm harder to use, by assessing an additional penalty to hit in exchange for its gruesome damage potential or fancy combat options. The penalty could be less for members of certain classes, and also ameliorated when the character makes it to a certain level in some themes.

      Are we going to get implements with different damage dice and damage types as well?
      Really there is no difference between a staff, orb, wand, tome, ki focus, holy symbol, circlet, or pointy hat other than how you wield them.
      The same can be said about a longsword, rapier, scimitar, sabre, or short sword. You attack differently with them (slash, thrust, etc) but functionally they all do the same thing.
      If you are going to focus on differentiating the damage type of weapons (which I...

      Hey, Tracy. Please keep doing this entry. I really enjoy it. It might not attract a lot of comments, but I think it is really worth the time. I wish I had this when I was ordering from the Mail Order Hobby Shop. Stupid 4-6 weeks waiting for an unpainted kobolds minis.
