I have to agree completely with that. While I'm not currently playing in a DV game (I'm up next as GM in rotations of who runs the game in my group, so hopefully soon), I'm in two other games a week. And my least favorite is my Saturday game. We have 4-5 PCs there every week, and while I generally like all the characters and the setting is interesting, the GM always gives us leads and then nothing happens. We don't really progress the story or figure things out. Things just resolve as a matter of fact. The only reason I continue is that I like spending the time with my friends whom I wouldn't get to see otherwise due to IRL constraints.Games like that can be tedious. But does nothing happen in session b/c the GM is trying to keep you on the rails or because he's running a more sandbox style game the players aren't actively driving the story? Lack of story development isn't always the GM's fault.
A GM isn't a writer, trying to get people to read his story. Well, not just a writer. He has to be able to engage his players and work with them in a way that lets everyone have a good time. Otherwise, what's the point?
I think my interpretation is obviously looser and less precise, but it puts such a scene within reach of a wizardly PC without needing refresh levels in the teens or twenties.Which obviously Listens-to-the-Wind would have, but still a good point.
well, what year do the books actually take place in? I think the date I saw was in the early 1970's...Um, what? Do you mean that's how long Mac's has been there?
Can't catch one bit... did where did he say the Gatekeeper's domain is? I heard the part about the Moon and Nevernever, but not where his actual citadel is on terra firma.Who says it has to be on terra firma? I'd actually be surprised if the Gatekeeper's domain isn't in the Nevernever, or perhaps someplace even stranger...
I do think wizards can be crazy in damage department, but they are balanced out by being squishy.
I think the deemphasis of mental powers may be the reason such stunts and toughness powers weren't developed. Or maybe the game designers wanted to ensure that Mental threats were more potent when they got used.While Mental threats being well scary is definitely something I like, I'm still surprised there isn't something in the book considering Wizards (or any other mortal caster) gain Mental Stress like a fat kid going through Halloween candy. It makes sense that someone that is routinely tossing spells around would eventually gain more Mental resilience than what they would have from simply having a high Conviction score.
He said that in 2007. Since then both a public rental luggage locker and a public storage facility have been warded. Any "rule" of magic should at most be only viewed as a guideline for how it works for most people, most of the time.I don't remember exactly about the locker, but I'm fairly certain the storage unit was described as having runes scrawled all over the inside, which would say to me that Harry was anchoring the ward on those runes instead of a threshold.
For instance, you might say Air is great for battering things around, but not for doing direct damage.This is simply not true. You can use Air to create a highly focused lance of steam, which can slice through nearly anything. Especially squishy monsters.
