Because when you’ve got like 4 hours a week of free time to prepare for the game, grabbing something 5e compatible and ad-libbing parts you didn’t feel like preparing ahead of time is easier than learning a whole new system.

“What’s up everypony?”

In my experience, it pays to have a conversation with the DM out of game time to tell them that they should probably describe whatever there is to see in the room.

If there’s no time pressure and no traps, there’s no reason you can’t just say “I rummage through every shelf in NPCs personal library in search of the book!” or something.

Sounds about right.

Yeah. I just actively remind players of what their characters should know, because otherwise they never figure anything out.

It’s a really good way to get people into tabletop, since making characters is very straightforward and there’s not much they need to remember.

…three campaigns later, I yearn for PF2e though.

Short rests take an entire hour though.

I feel that with the puzzles.

I’m not very good at them, but every time I design one players spend so long on it!

I should rewatch that. And actually finish it this time.
First I watched it on TV and you know how that is for continuity.
Then I watched it downloaded and got distracted.

And that’s how you get your whole party executed.

I mean, at that point just don’t roll con saves for them. Special NPC magic ™.

That guy has the worst presentation.

It varies with the source, but generally it’s supposed to be a few things:

• The blasters used in the movie era are… Basically unstoppable? They’re the pinnacle of weapon tech as far as mass arming is concerned.
• The armour is supposed to protect the stormtrooper against most “lower tech” weapons, think slug throwers, shrapnel from explosions, vibro-swords.
• Light sabers OP.
• You’re supposed to be using droideka-style personal shields if you want to tank energy shots.

Of course, movies don’t think about it too hard and just use them as mooks.

Cue that lady Gaga music video.

Take your upvote and roll initiative.

So what happens if you turn a cow into gold, machine that gold into things, then cast dispel magic?

That’s fair. You could also adjust it to consume it’s material components, so that you need to forage for them.

Turn it from “hunger-b-gone” to “I have a few twigs of [uniquely special] mistletoe in case we all fuck up our survival rolls and really need food”.

Fair enough, lol.

Never figured out how to start listening to podcasts, tbh.

Every enemy pulls out wands of Magic Missile.

Your armour begins to glow red hot.
