@@vodkast I'm with you on that one, I too have unconventional teeth due to various factors, but hey, f 'em if they can't accept what's real. Indeed I do. ICRPG by Runehammer Games is the perfect 'happy medium' between complex and rules lite (tends more towards the lite when interpreted RAW). A quickstart guide is available free on their website or perhaps DTRPG. It's a d20 roll over with the 6 main stats like D&D's current version, but cuts out a lot of the dead weight, which allows for customisation and use of the same ruleset across different settings - sci-fi, western etc. The GM section in the full book is packed with great advice on running an RPG. All done by one person, no AI, no messing around. I've found that if players are on board, the mood at the table can be freer than with some more prescriptive systems. Hope that helps.

The quickstart rules are available free from their website (or DTRPG). It's a d20 roll over system with the ubiquitous 6 stats, so it'll be familiar, but has a lot of unnecessary stuff removed. This can mean a little more improvisation and customisation on behalf of the DM, which can leave beginner DMs with some questions, but if you go into it with the philosophy that you/ your table should answer that question, you'll be fine. The DM section in the main book is gold!

Great video Champ! I have always loved called shots. It adds some excitement to the fight, and it can have a highly debilitating/damaging effect on an enemy. It's also a fun way for a Player to interact with a fight in a more detailed way, and it can inspire the DM as well, possibly changing the course of it. That goes both ways too, with success or failure!

I don't run with called shots at all, if someone wants to do extra damage durring an encounter then that's what mechanics are for, if someone wants to tell me that there character is aiming for a targets legs to slow down someone whom is running away I would just let them do it, maybe even just let them slow down the target, they are the heros so maybe they shouldn't need to have navigate numbers on there roll if they want to do something heroic right?

I looked at BP as a clean slate, a place to start over and get away from the bullies and ridicule. I didn't get away 100%, there were some pathetic slugs that tried to maintain my humiliations there though. I felt too free, and it was such a blissful time(talking to girls and making friends) I forgot to do schoolwork and blew it there (never got in commercial art, i missed by like 4 people).

The person kind of forgets that evil is defined from the outside not necessarily the inside. If we use history some of the most historically evil people in the world did not themselves think of themselves as evil. Bringing order to a chaotic and awful world bring it back in the way that God intended was much the mantra of Adolf Hitler. How many people like him thought that the world was wrong and he was just trying to fix it. If we want to go into fiction Thanos and me did not think that he was evil. Just think how many people were killed in the crusades and that was a fight people thought was for God. In fact both sides thought they were fighting for God. Neither thought that they were evil. We can go into the world of politics I think one guy is very clearly evil. But I am equally confident that he doesn't see himself that way. If you want to go deeper in the woods both good and evil commit much the same acts it's the reasons why that is the difference between Good and evil. There could be a terrible monster that has been killing and stealing things from villagers and travelers for a decade. A group of Good and evil characters Go and kill The monster. The people that are good are happy that the people are safe because that's why they did it. The people that are evil only wanted the gold in treasure. Intrusive they probably both get some of that treasure. A super good paladin may give some back to the people. Point being is that you might have to get into some really heinous crimes like serial killers that eat people. Before you get to an actual person that may see himself as evil. And even then maybe not. Some of them hear voices and they think they're doing what God wants them to. So are the evil or just mentally ill. Can you be both. Probably too deep a question if you just want to have fun playing a fantasy role-playing game. But what if you faithfully follow an evil God who has blessed you with good things in life.
