Not even going to get into that early red card... So thoughts are:
1. 0-4, zero shots on and subbing a striker off for a CB? What goal lead ya protecting, Phil?
2. Crepeau was 0/9 in delivery today, why does he start?
3. How did that ref miss the handball when standing 5ft away!?
4. RCTID. Still. ⚽🌹

My first TTRPG was D&D 3.5 in 2004 and my first non-D&D game was Dogs in the Vineyard, in 2005.
Two questions TTRPG folks. When did you start playing TTRPGs and what was your first non D&D game? I started in 1999 with 2e AD&D and my first alternative game was Vampire the Masquerade back on White Wolf Live Chats in the very early 00s

Very excited for the Pirate Borg + Seas of Sand session I'm running tomorrow... The crew finally made port, made a bunch of money, and are planning on kitting out their boat. Can't wait to dive into naval combat now that they'll have some real weapons!

How many different die sizes can be replicated using a standard polyhedral set? Most easily with little math: d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d8, d10, d12
Can a resolution mechanic tied to a base d5 system work? Attributes increase and decrease die size? Skills tied to a die?
Attribute d5 + Skill d5 = DR 8?
