Topic	DMed my second game of DnD yesterday.

Since you seem to know a lot about DnD, can you answer this: Are the Community episodes (S02 E14 and S05 E10) where they play DnD accurate depictions of what a typical game is like? Ignoring the fact that they're condensed into 22 minutes, of course. Sort of. It gets the spirit of things right, but it leaves out a lot of the nitty gritty of the rules. And the DM doesn't roll for everything, the players do all of their own rolling. Muffinz0rz posted... shadowsword87 posted... ParanoidObsessive posted... To continually reemphasize my usual accusation that a lot of your perceptions are colored by playing in s*ty groups, I've never actually had a 20 minute argument or complaint about how the rules work in any game I've ever played. If anything, I think I've played with precisely one rules lawyer-y type player out of every group I've ever been in. Eh, it was an exaggeration, like at most there's like 5 minutes of someone explaining to me how grappling or hacking works or whatever, and me not figuring it out. Is it really that complex? I was under the impression it was just, "I want to hack this" and the DM says "here are your odds" and then you say yes or no and if you say yes then a number is rolled and the number determines success or failure. The DM doesn't have to tell you the odds. You've got a character sheet and will generally add a number to the die based on how skilled your character is. After you roll the die, the DM will tell you if you succeeded or not. --- If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change <cite>PMarth2002 posted [p:882432846] in DMed my se...
