Apr 16	comment	How would you mechanically model the effect of spraying a CO₂ fire extinguisher in someones face? +1 for suggesting tricks.
Apr 15	comment	Resources for Complex Puzzle-Traps You may find inspiration in point-and-click adventure games, and in particular the Myst series of games. These games are full of abstract obstacles with abstract locks.
Mar 12	answered	Dealing with skill rerolls by several players
Mar 7	comment	Aced d4s vs skill development in Savage Worlds How is that? It looks to be the complete opposite to me. My answer says statistically there's little-to-no benefit from staying at d4. My last sentance contradicts that with anecdotal evidence. (And at this point, this really deserves to go to chat.) :-)
Mar 7	comment	Aced d4s vs skill development in Savage Worlds There's a lot more than statistics that influences the roll of a die. It could be how they pick it up and roll it. It could be fate! There's a good chance it's just perception. When a die aces once, it's good, but not amazing. When it aces four times in a row, you remember it and it outshines any other roll (except perhaps snake eyes.)
Mar 7	comment	Aced d4s vs skill development in Savage Worlds Interesting house rule. I was thinking of a similar one which is "-1 per ace." This makes all subsequent rolls on an exploded d6 be worth from 0 to 5 instead of 1 to 6. That's keeps the larger dice better.

Jan 13	comment	Is the information gained from a knowledge check fallible? I get what you're saying. I wouldn't allow that. If the player insisted, I might allow an extremely difficult test to see if the character can deduce part of Lord Evilguy's plan, Sherlock Holmes style. At most, they might learn the next location they could find him or his minions. Intelligence is one of the hardest attributes to separate between the character and the player. An intelligent player playing a dumb-as-bricks barbarian is still intelligent, but I can't deny an acedemic wizard played by a fool from knowing things the fool would never consider.
Jan 12	comment	Is the information gained from a knowledge check fallible? In fact, with a lot of questions regarding "Is it reasonable for a character to be able to do X?" my usual response is "He's a hero, so yes."

Jan 9	comment	When would PCs choose to walk instead of ride? "[May] be restricted to certain classes of people." => "May I see your horse license please? Sir, this says you're only qualified to ride a donkey. Please step off of the horse."
