Westa is the healer for the pirates. She replaced Doc Cutter. She left her husband and child because of a vision she had. For October's steampunk giveaway, what is the age and name of her only child? First to post it gets a free book of their choice.

@SGTWipper1Each The oath is just words. Nothing more or less. More important by far is the life we chose to live. We chose to stand on the brink of hell in the name of protecting the innocent. Words will fade much more easily then the sheer force of will needed to make that stand.

A lot of Veterans see the Oath of ENLISTMENT as something that does not expire. I see it this way: The legal requirements that hold you to the UCMJ are only contractual if you are currently serving. This means following Orders of the President, etc... Once you end your service contract, that's it. No more obligation. The moral obligation we feel regarding protecting the Constitution doesn't have an expiration date and we can choose to continue that mindset or not. I see it as a Right (we can choose to exercise it or not.) Bottom line: The Oath holds no legal authority anymore, but we can choose to act in ways that support and defend the Constitution, if we desire to do so.

Lots of talk about the oath service members take and how it’s to the constitution. That is correct but right after what does it also say?

Part of why I volunteer to run D&D store games is to help players think toward the good and have an opportunity to play a campaign with a moral basis. Any "darkness" in those games is specifically there so the light shines brighter.

When I was working on the Age of Empires series, people would come up to me all the time and say they were educators and congratulate us for making an "educational game". I always gave them the same answer. "I put real history into the game because I genuinely think it makes the game more fun for the players. But it's not for the education - all i care about is the fun. If real history helps, I'm for it." If someone gets therapy by playing a roleplaying game more power to them, but you can also get some pretty great therapy petting a purring cat on your lap.

Do you think there’s any therapeutic benefit to playing Dungeons & Dragons?

Here I will point out that my church (of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) DOES send missionaries to American towns. My mission was in the Los Angeles area and I served in Compton, Huntington Park, and the San Fernando Valley, among others. I admit it was back in 1975 so probably not as dangerous as now. My dad went on three medical missions (he was a doctor) and served in Tonga, the Caribbean, and New Zealand. Lucky guy.

Mission trip christians are so funny to me like Jesus always takes them to Costa Rica or Panama or Amazonas but never like East St Louis or West Memphis

The horror campaign officially ended today. Players seemed to enjoy it. They'd put together quite a bit of the story from the clues throughout but in the end got the whole story.

@Blackmoor_Film I have 2 methods for this. Open tables are just handed a list of table rules. I don't have time to story board every new player in. If they want to build their character development they can do it while playing. My regular groups we handle that in chat.

I never understood the Session 0 concept. Me calling my friends, "Hey, wanna play some D&D?" Wanna play some D&D is code for: we're going to do some kind of RPG thing that may not even be D&D, it could be traveller, or Gamma World, or whatever. Everyone shows up to play and we roll up characters as fast as possible so we can actually get to playing. If there is a distraction, like wasting a session not playing, I am not coming.
Grand DM@Grand_DM

“Session 0 solves everything” became the mythologized takeaway from years of bad influencer advice… Sure, it helps with tone and expectations. But you can’t frontload table culture in one conversation. It’s built through actual play.

@KintsugiJin Endowment Coordinator. Allowing witnessing during baptisms caused some ripples with older men there, but it didn't take them long to figure out they were being misogynist idiots. Things like this are wheat from chaff moments. Almost all will opt to be the wheat.

@realRPGames What temple calling are you speaking of? Like everything, I think there is opportunity for it to devolve into problems. Humans gonna human. But, we have a chance to find divine understanding in this and I hope we do.

@KintsugiJin They did something similar with a calling at the temple. It now usually goes to women. They do a good job and it makes scheduling the men easier if a woman is in that role. I haven't seen anything even remotely divisive about it. I can't see this as being any different.

@realRPGames Do you think this could pave the way for more divide between men and women or more unifying opportunity?

@JaredBr0wn Typical CEO response. You're wrong and should buy my product because you're too stupid to know what you like. Oh and you have to anyway because there are only 2 choices on the market.

@Wizards_DnD Let your experienced players recruit the younger generation. Connect with the people who were part of making the game great and trust them to expand your audience. We've done it before. There's no reason to alienate your older audience in favor of a younger one.

@SandyofCthulhu Despised by you or despised by your players? Honestly, I'd never use it, but I can enjoy seeing it as a creative endeavor.

This is my most despised trap for any RPG. The lava, running across the hall, is only 3-4 feet across - an easy jump for everyone except maybe a hobbit. So a player jumps the gap, hits the wall, and falls into the lava. In one game the dwarf had another player throw him across the lava because he wasn't sure he could jump it. His hideous burning death warned everyone else. The trap also doesn't detect as magic, because it's just a perfectly ordinary invisible wall plus lava. Maybe the lava registers as magic because why doesn't it harden?
