No, the DM should be the one tripping, and everyone else totally sober and pissed off at him.

Had some painful moments from our DM recently.
Not truly awful, but a few moments of getting cockblocked killed the vibe, and I didn't attempt anything awesome after that.

So I found out my Local Game Store closed its doors for good last November.

Alas, this cruel mistress. With one hand she giveth, with the other she taketh away. The age of the internet is one of poverty as well as prosperity.

At least you had one. All we've got in town is a shop that sells board games and the occasional TCG booster pack. No luck if you're into tabletop RPGs, although there is a 40K group that rents a small office front in the ass end of nowhere one day each week. Since I'm more into D&D and Pathfinder, neither are my cup of tea. I just host a game night each week at my place instead.

My town has a single LGS, which also doubles as a video game store and a store for pens and folders and stuff. They're lucky enough to be between two of the largest schools and the largest bus stop in town. That said, all businesses have been having trouble staying alive here. Recently saw a store that even my dad says has always been there selling everything..

Anyway, that store is basically the concentration of nerds in this town. They play mtg once a month and also have a DnD campaign, so I'm lucky to have found them.

Yeah my old town had an anime store which doubled as the LGS and was the vibrant nerd-hub of the town.

I have to drive a couple towns over to visit a comic book shop that basically has to service all non-videogame-related nerd-needs for my entire county area. It's a nice place and the owners are very accommodating of gaming groups, but still.

Maybe this means some of you guys should start your own gaming stores?
Blackjack and hookers optional, but recommended.

So I'm running a game on another forum using 5e rules. It's about humans running away from a nuclear world war into a fantasy world where humans didn't exist. The protagonists are a party of kids going to what's basically Adventurer Academy. Think of it as D&D Harry Potter.

I need help getting stats for regular kids. They're Commoner class until they begin Adventurer Academy, but I'm giving them really high numbers in one stat that their archetype uses.

So is an 8 in all stats, with like a 12-14 in one stat, reasonable for mysteriously-gifted human kids?

Considered it, but doubt the demand is high enough in my local area market to justify the setup costs and advertising budget. I couldn't afford rent on a major shopping mall retail outlet and survive for more than two years at a negative GP margin, and a minor retail outlet simply wouldn't generate enough business to meet costs.

How about, roll the stats normally using whatever 5E method (random, preset), then give each stat 1d6 "negative levels" of some sort for young age or something. Well, if they're going to grow up during the campaign or something. Otherwise, just use a smaller array I suppose.

The standard array is 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
You could do something like 14, 12, 12, 11, 10, 8 as suggested in this link. Not sure if there's an "objective" array you could come up with, they all seem pretty arbitrary.

Something about pen & paper gamers, gambling and sex which doesn't seem to mesh.

[miauw62]

pen & paper, mtg with ante and hentai?

Are you surprised, with the existence of F.A.T.A.L?
