Re: Applying house rules and group dynamics

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate that you took the time to share some advices on the matter. The DM has been a good friend of mine for a long time and we've been having some sit downs in the past to straighten things out but it seems after a few sessions he gets back in to his old habits... Afte...

Applying house rules and group dynamics

Hi everyone! I wanted to have your thoughts on 2 topics. First one, I'd like to know how you handle house rules in your game. Is it something that you will ask your players input and opinion before applying them or do you make them so because '' you are the DM and your words are the law'' :P Second ...

Speak Language

Hi everyone! I was wondering if the Speak Language talent can be used to understand and converse quick sentences in a language that is not known by the character without having the actually learn the language? Let's say my character have speak language at rank 2 and already knows Throalic and Speret...

Re: GM's NPCs and involvement

Thank you all for posting your comments.

We're having our weekly session tonight and I'll be having a small discussion with the GM and sort a few things out with him.

I have to say though, I prefer the 3rd E over the 2nd E, I feel like the game is more balanced.

Re: GM's NPCs and involvement

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions :) I wanted to see here before I ask the GM to get a general idea of how others run their game. I'm definitely going to have a discussion with him and revise a few topics and give my opinion on how I feel when I'm playing this game. ...

Re: GM's NPCs and involvement

Thanks for your input. I have no issues asking the NPCs for directions from time to time, but when the GM proactively joins a players only discussion (if there's such a thing) because he's also playing in the campaign, that doesn't quite sound right to me... And please, don't get the wrong idea, I k...

GM's NPCs and involvement

Hey guys! Sorry, this will be a long post. I'd like to know more about how you handle NPCs that are part of your player's group in your quest. Do they take center stage or are they more in the background? I'm asking this because, we've come to a point in my campaign where I feel like the NPCs have b...

Re: Clarion Call Clarification

Thanks for your answer. I think the issue lies with my GM's understanding of harmful. I guess he understands it as the general meaning of harmful instead of something being physically harmful. If I would use Clarion Call to ''force'' a character about revealing secrets or simply telling the truth, i...

Clarion Call Clarification

Would you guys be able to provide more light on the Clarion Call Spell? The way I see it, it is kind of a ''Jedi Mind Trick'' Spell but what can you and can't do with this spell? Let's say I need to squeeze some information out of someone, can that spell be used to have this character to simply tell...

Open Game vs Closed Game

When you guys are hosting your sessions, do you usually play an open game where every players can see the results of the die rolls or do you prefer using a closed game, where you roll behind a GM screen?

Would you also care to elaborate why you choose this method?
