2h	comment	Is it possible to get your animal companion killed? This is exactly the paragraph I was coming to quote! Thanks Seven!
May 16	comment	What are the best ways to utilize Wisdom and Charisma? I'm writing to explain my close vote - this isn't a question we can answer authoritatively. We are here to answer questions about existing games.
May 8	comment	System Recommendation: Gritty Sci-fi @Phil - I already dropped in a mention based on a quick look at the preview. But please feel free to expand on it!
May 2	comment	Group Stealth Rolls I was coming here to recommend the BW solution. I also seem to remember the one from Reign was good, I'll have to look.
Apr 26	comment	How do you handle Reach in Dungeon World? Try not to accept an answer for a couple of days, to give answers time to come in.
Apr 17	comment	How much does it cost to build or rent a building? @SevenSidedDie - you are also correct. This hobby of ours isn't free and there is no expectation that it should be. However, I didn't do a good job of providing an answer and I'll try to correct that later when I have access to my ACKS materials.
Apr 17	comment	How much does it cost to build or rent a building? @Quentin - hmmm...you are correct. Bad me!
Apr 17	comment	How do I make a gunslinger with a decent damage progression? For the first time EVER, I want to play this game.
Apr 16	comment	How does a DM correct the balance after accidentally giving the players too much gold? Well, some people consider it theft in reality. But how do your players think the kingdoms and empires work?
Apr 15	comment	Are there any examples of OGL retro-clones of non-D&D games? So it's been a bunch of months, Seven - are you going to tell us about your project yet?
Mar 31	comment	Can an undead cleric resurrect himself? As soon as I saw your question, I thought of the OOTS storyline!
Mar 29	comment	What are some mechanics where players determine the difficulty of performing actions? I guess I read this as asking, "what games don't have the GM set the difficulty?" and answered that way.
Mar 28	comment	Bad/Rash character actions and consequences that don't kill my game Doesn't D&D subscribe to the idea that you only roll when there's a chance of success? Would a guard really not know that one of his colleagues was a giant of legendary proportions? Wouldn't a village guard of 8 feet be sort of...notable? You dug yourself this hole in part because you gave your player the leeway to get this far. On the other hand, these are some Conan-esque achievements and maybe you should just read some Conan and see how big a pain in the ass his life became...because while this character is an awful person, this sounds like an awesome game!
Mar 26	comment	What makes up the core FATE? @MaurycyZarzycki - This was really a comment for the world at large, not particularly directed at you... :)
Mar 25	comment	What makes up the core FATE? Don't accept an answer in less than 48 hours as a rule, anyhow - for exactly this reason. You need to give answers time to arrive.
Mar 25	comment	What's a good system/setting for an X-Files style campaign? Answers for sys-rec questions should come from real experience. Otherwise you can't provide the kind of answer that SE is for. For example, how would you know whether Shadowrun provides the level of player empowerment the asker desires? You're new here, and I'm not trying to drive you away - I'm just trying to explain why this question got a downvote.
Mar 22	comment	Lovecraft's Deep Ones and co. in the 21st century I was just preparing an answer that referenced The Laundry.
Mar 1	comment	Is making someone afraid a social or mental attack? I didn't have my book with me at the time, but my memory says that you can decide to take stress that falls off the end of the stress track without taking consequences. That's not conceding, it's deciding to be taken out. I will check the book later.
Mar 1	comment	Is making someone afraid a social or mental attack? +1! Excellent explanation of the benefits of Conceding. I sort of groped at the concept in my answer, you nailed it here.
Feb 28	comment	Wages and economy in Rolemaster/MERP I just wanted to chime in here on another note entirely - fgysin, you're a pretty new user, so I thought I should mention that it's good practice to give a question a couple of days before you accept an answer.
