darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Like most commenters, I let the players roll at the end of every session, and haven't found it to be a problem. Also, "adventure" isn't really a clear-cut concept in my campaign, because all kinds of wanderings and incidents tend to occur between the Misty Vale adventure sites. 110 0

darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Well, that is your preference and mindset and you play in the way that you enjoy, but frankly, I myself prefer to run to players who are able to sustain the distinction between character and player knowledge, and play to it. 110 0
darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Setting out from the "prefer not to know" position you expressed in your other reply, do consider that hiding the roll is a signal in itself. When the rolls are made openly by default, then doing one out of sight is already telling that something out of the ordinary is coming up. 010 0
darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 12/09/2026(Besides, with players who have the right kind of mindset, they can well be aware of the hidden threat as *players* while playing their characters as being oblivious to it.) 111 0
darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 12/09/2026No, it doesn't. In that example, with the PCs not being aware of the assassin in the first place, just rolling a die doesn't reveal anything of suvstance to them. 210 0

darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 22/08/2026A bit paradoxically and perhaps ironically, I remember Basic D&D being pretty much clueless fumbling back then, with RQ adventures making more sense in contrast. But I guess I've learned to play/run (early) D&D properly since then. 010 0

darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 08/08/2026A good example of this approach is the chase scene in #sonofoak 's Cairo:Otherscape demo scenario "A Shadow of Soul".

darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 08/08/2026But for, e.g., an action movie-style car chase scene, it probably makes more sense to treat vehicles rather as environmental features that can help or hinder the characters in the conflict, than to center the scene around the vehicles. 100 0
darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I think the first question about vehicular combat should be that does it really need separate rules? In a more or less historical pirate game and some subgenres of sci-fi, ship-to-ship combat rules make sense of course. 100 0
darthmauno.bsky.social @darthmauno.bsky.social · 08/08/2026"A lot" is a pretty big exaggeration, considering the wide variety of tabletop RPGs there is. In most of the games that I play or run, combat tends to get done in 10-15 minutes, half an hour if it gets particularly involved. 110 0
