I am an avid RP and tabletop gamer, currently designing a tabletop skirmish game of my own. It is a hobby of mine to sit down with a core book for a game and decipher its system.

Is It OK To Sic Assassins On My PCs? I agree with this to an extent. It does make sense to make the threat level of the assassins parallel to the threat against whomever sent them. But as stated above, in the divine game of rock-paper-scissors any specialist of a comparable level will outmatch his differently classed peers. The L5R game from my question was called Unfair because the shinobi was all but undetectable to the party at large. |

Is It OK To Sic Assassins On My PCs? Is the key underline of your answer "Caveat Emptor"? |

Is It OK To Sic Assassins On My PCs? Typically playing against their strengths is my approach. However, my players always know to expect left field. Any veteran players are kind enough to warn the rookies about my GM style and I am especially cautionary on a personal level about min/maxing. That said, why would the family known for using ninja assassins only send the hired sword to do a stand up fight? |

Avoiding Wrath of Fellow Players (And Death) Which is why I gave the answer an overall +1. The meta-rules are always crucial. |

Avoiding Wrath of Fellow Players (And Death) I agree with talking to the table, but I've seen both sides of this argument. Although the worst scenario involved a PK where the victim wasn't present and the rolls proxy'd and it ruined some of the table dynamic |

Avoiding Wrath of Fellow Players (And Death) I disagree with some of the first part of your decision. Having an evil (necromancer) character in the party is a warning that exactly this sort of thing might happen. As players we do take certain peace treaties for granted. However, I do entirely agreed with your second point, so +1 |

How do I set the base price in a barter system? The Appraise Skill is so highly overlooked. Especially if the NPC is untrained. |

How do I set the base price in a barter system? Reminds me of L5R with the value of 1 koku |

What is a realistic way to incorporate firearms into D&D 3.5 The average weapon was a 2d6/x2. Range and capacity varied but of course depending on your refinement of gunpowder there are things like reload time, inaccuracy, and blowback |

Do pregnancies apply at the Bawdyhouse? This actually sparked some great debate in a game of 7th Sea I sat in on. The GM had deemed that a female character in the party had gotten pregnant and the debate was whether or not this took away from the game as a source of fantasy. |

Tips and pitfalls for a variable-size group Added another two cents, but nothing revolutionary after skimming a couple key chapters. |

Tips and pitfalls for a variable-size group I added a more mechanically specific solution however I will take a moment to consult my book before editing again. |
