other than eldritch beings (and possibly even then) isn't a sanity check for a particular thing a one time deal? I've never made people roll more than once because the shock already happened.

A sane person will become jaded and indifferent to horrors after such an encounter, though that also might mean they're getting PTSD...

You can get more then one roll for the same mundane thing, but it reflects a sort of different situation... and indeed you can become jaded to the same stimuli.

An ordinary person seeing a corpse will freek them out, needing to dig through its guts would freek them out even more. More then justifies two separate rolls.

But as long as the ST knows that mundane horrors are horrifying but not so much "Maddening" it should be fine... Unless it is TRUELY horrifying... Like needing to wade through gore.

Eldrich beings aren't necessarily THAT maddening anyhow.

Heh. We only roll once per creature per encounter, but if we see another set of skeletons a few days down the line, we might lose a little more sanity. The hounds are special in that they're tacking us through time and space because they live outside of it, so who knows what sort of horrifying implications that has?

Does anyone else have problems when systems have too many rules to keep track of? If so, is there a way around that or should I just stick to simpler systems?

That seems excessive, once you've seen a walking skeleton you've seen them all. The example of a dead body versus sifting through organs makes better sense.

BTW, I didn't realize it was THOSE hounds. You are fucked.

I already don't like that Dragon skull throne xD

Well asked my friend about the Pokémon system compromise I had.

He hated it, but for some reason he really liked the PTU system... but it was hard for me to explain the problems with the system and how much it just didn't work.

It's not legendary, there could be both left and right-handed versions of that golem.

[Dutchling]

Sure, but the people being depicted in artwork sometimes are specific persons (or golem in this case ).

Perhaps Eric Deschamps is indeed a lazy fuck

Ok, so A couple of years ago I came across a D&D adventure somewhere, I think it was in an issue of Dragon Magazine but I'm not sure, where the final scene was in this area with columns of weird Far Realm stuff with wystes (IIRC) swimming through them and IIRC the villain was a spellcaster or psionicist who looked like a female version of The Blotch from episode 15 of Invader Zim.

I've searched and searched trying to find this adventure again bit I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND IT AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!

Anyway, does anybody have any leads as to what adventure I might be thinking of and where I might be able to find it?

EDIT:
It was prior to the release of the fourth edition, if that helps narrow it down.

Risk anyone?

[Neonivek]

Risk anyone?

This is kind of why this thread doesn't work and why it keeps going under over and over again...

Yeah I am ignoring this thread now.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

What do you mean?
All I asked was if anyone plays risk and would like to talk about it...
It's a fun board game. And board games are table top games

[Dutchling]

Why (@neonivak)? It's just a DnD thread with random discussions about other games.

I, for one, think Risk is a terrible game to physically play but I play a PC version every now and then with my brother and a bunch of bots. It's somewhat entertaining.
