  • If you want to play with house rules, that’s fine. If nobody at your table has any problems with this, you are golden. This is a fairly common house rule and CritRole (Mercer) uses it quite liberally.

    As someone who disagrees with critical success/failure on skill check rolls, I would like to better understand your position. I feel reliable talent and other abilities like it are diminished by this house rule. What would you say to me if I was one of your players and brought this up as an issue?





  • I went back to watch both trailers today after seeing the movie last week. One is a lot of plot points but jumbled to make it somewhat unclear (by design?). The other has what you would expect to be full scenes that I don’t even recall from the movie. The full plot is not more than hinted at in either. I enjoyed the movie, and having seen a trailer didn’t take away from that at all, in my experience.

    Again, the disclaimer: I agree that plot revealing trailer suck. I typically avoid watching trailers in theaters by looking at my phone or whatever just to distract myself, and never watch trailers at all outside of theaters.


  • I agree with your overall sentiment, but I actually was thinking about the trailer I had seen for The Fall Guy as an example of a trailer done with a little more care, before even reading your post. I thought The Fall Guy trailer was cool in that it made you think you knew the whole story but it was a bit of an intentional misdirection. I would have bet $20 going into that movie that I knew the plot … and lost. I will add the disclaimer that I am typically trying not to pay attention to trailers because so many of them do spoil the movie.
