Roleplayer, lapsed blogger, and full-time dad.
Started playing with AD&D 1st edition and started GMing with AD&D 2nd edition. Ran D&D 3rd edition, D&D 4th edition briefly, then became a fan of indie games and the OSR. Particularly fond of GMless and short-form games because they fit nicely into a busy schedule, and are very good for enticing non-gamers into the roleplaying hobby.

Which All for One: Régime Diabolique products are physical print books? ISBNs can be used for digital books, so unfortunately the presence of an ISBN doesn't give any clues about whether there is a print version. |

Is there software that can help build a character portrait? Yeah, it's not ideal to my mind either, but it's all I know of that's out there. |

Do monsters need THAC0? Please don't make major revisions to a question that change its meaning. I've rolled it back. The question that you changed it to is a duplicate of How do you calculate THAC0?, so please go there to find out how to add THAC0 to 1st edition creatures. |

Do monsters need THAC0? @Dr Rotwang In a pinch, yeah. Because 1e to-hit numbers aren't linear with AC, using "just" the To-Hit-A.C.-0 numbers in that list will give different results for some AC numbers than when using the monster combat table on p. 75 (which is OK what with GM fiat and all!). Given that it's a "recapitulation of monster statistics", I personally interpret the list as a quick-reference rather than the full authority. |

What effect does the size of a shield have in AD&D 2nd Edition? Gaming.SE post for context: Baldur's Gate: what shield size should I use? |

How do I allow player agency in situations with predetermined outcomes? Yeah. You have to be fair as GM—but that doesn't mean the "justice" system has to be fair in the game. |

Realistic modern day combat system to model real life ambush "You don't see any targets, but there are bullets whizzing over your head from every direction. Your heart is hammering in your ears, and you're certain you're going to die. What do you do?" Narrate the non-attacking decision points, presenting each turn of events according to their choices, including the occasional "OH SHIT THERE'S THE ENEMY" opportunities to attack. |

Are we doing mild consequences and stress right? Nice breakdown of what the rule looks like in practice. |

How do I allow player agency in situations with predetermined outcomes? THIS! This is what I was going to write. Let them totally win, and then "lose" due to villany! They'll be gnashing their teeth at the tragic miscarriage of justice… and now you've got a huge plot hook. Who bought the judge? Who's the real villain? Where do the PCs have to go to pursue justice? |

Are we doing mild consequences and stress right? Scenes don't necessarily end at the end of the fight. If you're in the same location and the GM hasn't narrated time passing, any play following the fight is in the same scene. |

Do I need to stat out & measure everything? That is a very apt analogy, I'll have to remember it. :) |
