Does anyone use hidden die rolls?
Brian Stanfield replied to Brian Stanfield's topic in HERO System Discussion
Thanks everyone. I didn't mean to ghost my own topic. I had to start chemotherapy again with very short notice and my time and energy has been taken up with that. I always forget about the list of pre-rolled results made by the players themselves. That seems like an obvious solution to the mechanical problems I was having a hard time with. Lots of good input on when to do it as well. Thanks for the suggestions! -

Tell me about how you conduct the rolls . . . -

It's been a while since I've posted, but I miss those long gameplay discussions with lots of great bits of advice. So here goes: I've been fiddling with the idea for a while to use hidden or secret die rolls for certain types of situations. I've never really liked having the GM do all the rolls behind a screen because it takes away, at least on the surface, from player agency (some of us remember the bad old days of D&D using this tactic). But sometimes you don't want your players to know if they've succeeded, or by how much. Some examples could be: a stealth

Brian Stanfield reacted to a post in a topic: Fonts?
-
Got it. If you ever see fit to trust my conscientious use of font you can send me a private message! 😉
-
That's a dirty trick! Out of curiosity, does changing the font create a problem for you as an administrator? Or is is a potential uniformity issue?
-
We used to be able to use different fonts in our posts. I used to start every post with [font=times] in order to get a serif font, because as my editor friend once said, "Sans Serif fonts are an abomination!" I like to use the Times font mostly because it makes italics much easier to see in a post, and I do like to use my italics. That trick doesn't work anymore. Has it simply been weeded out with the latest update of the HERO site? Just curious . . . .

Hey "Forum" why so stingy with the Up-Votes?!?
Brian Stanfield replied to Gwarh's topic in Site Questions
I would totally agree here, except that I once saw Ernie solve the problem of "not eating crackers in your bed" by eating crackers in Bert's bed instead. Some crackers (albeit very few) really do matter to some beds. But in the spirit of your overall message, we do in fact tend to take ourselves waaaaay to seriously in these discussions, and probably do deserve to sleep in the beds we make for ourselves, crackers or no. -

It may not be what you're looking for, but I think it is: go to your "Profile," then click on "See my activity," and then scroll down on the left to "Posts," and it should get you want you want.

The private message said, "I'm sending you a public message," thus closing the circle and starting a paradoxical black hole. -

By the way, take a look at Sheet 2. It appears to have most of the product numbers that you are looking for. Sheets 1 & 3 are notes and stuff that Duke made for himself.

Fire of a message to @Duke Bushido and give hime that info. I'm positive he'd want it and would add it to the list.
