If we follow the academia model, it seems to me like we could make one answer a bunch of mainsite links to highly-voted online-roleplaying questions, perhaps going from broad/general → more-specific issues … questions we've gotten recently are likely the advance notice of a large wave coming. Right now I think it's right that we've closed those questions. …

Trust the Stack =) Go ahead and ask for details in comments. I suggest, though, asking only for the two or three most-important-seeming details. Avoid help piling. I think it's important to get a few …

"You gotta get this to get us...." Linked there ^^ is, in my opinion, a super-important bit of Stack philosophy. Take a moment to read it. Hmm. it's not just about the one asker, or the four voters, …

For reference, I'm just going to reproduce wholesale a comment-discussion on the matter. It doesn't in any way answer the question, but I think it's useful background to collect into a place it can be …

They anticipate that $SOMETHING may go wrong if $THING is changed, and ask questions about that expectation. …

Yes, sorta. I agree with V2 that the way you pose it in your post here--"what's a good example of combat"--would be broad and unclear. However, it sounds like you've experienced difficulty sorting out …

Focus on the problem, not the question. "How do I assign damage when someone falls 30' into water," as you note, sometimes doesn't end up working out so well in practice. Miniman's answer pointing out …

When you have favorited a post a few things will happen: it will enter the list that lives in your profile-->activity-->favorites, thus creating an easily-accessed list of "bookmarked" questions; the … (See more at the main meta.SE FAQ entry on favorited questions here.) If it's an answer you really want to easily come back to, there's no in-site functionality that will help there. …

Vote, answer, or move on. Some days I've seen a question like that and downvoted for "lack of effort." Some days I jump right in and derive some joy from helping someone sort out a crease in the game' …

I'm of two minds about this one. (Disclosure: I answered it.) On the one hand, all of the rules required to interpret it are included on the same page, even in the same named section: "Two-Weapon Fi …

I don't have much of an argument to make other than the reasoning in the linked meta, and the good reception the two linked canonical-list questions have gotten. …

But these questions (IME) pop up at the once-per-month level, at most. In summary: vote your conscience. … If you think the site will be polluted by the presence of questions like this, vote to close them as off-topic. …

"How long did X take you" is clearly not a good Stack-question. Because every answer is equally valid, so there's no way that voting helps, there's no "good" or "bad" answer, &c. (I'm aware that's no …

I don't agree that "anybody asking the first is definitely wondering about the second." But I do agree that anyone asking the first would likely benefit from seeing an answer to the second. That's w …
