OD&D rated things in coins, which was kind of a combination of weight, size, and awkwardness.

You can’t change polls after they are finalized though, so adding IDK isn’t possible.

My favorite is slot-based although I don’t need it to be tied to body parts necessarily.

Second favorite (at the risk of premise rejection), is Other, by which I mean “play games where equipment doesn’t help much.” If PCs don’t get bonuses from equipment then they magically stop lugging around a small warehouse of goods.

I find this often happens with newer players. They seem not to get that the social contract of an RPG is to follow the leads provided by the GM.

I even keep crop marks off the card backs, so there are no tell-tale markings on the cards.

I don't understand this part - crop marks should never come near the cards and should not show up at all after cutting... unless you are are referring to the "+" style, which some people use, that sits between the corners of 4 cards?

Which are the only crop marks that should ever be used in Consumer Level PDFs of PnP Games. It's that or Printers Marks (the marks that don't touch the cards at all), which are great if you have a hydraulic cutting press in your home. But in truth, they should NEVER be used in a PDF designed for consumer use. The main reason why is no printer that will live in a home, or even an office, will print with precise enough registration to make using Printers Marks, which are only useful for cutting REAMS of paper, to be useful. And far too many people use dashed, or solid lines around the entire edge of the card which is even worse. So when it comes to consumer level PnP PDFs, the best ones to use are the "+" marks in the corner of each card. I typically make my "+" marks about .25" and with a line weight of .375pt so they print very faintly. Once you round the corners they disappear completely. And as I said the face and the back are printed on the same side of the page. Only one of those sides needs to have the crop marks on it. So I put them on the face. That way, if a user makes a particularly bad cut (which we all do from time to time), and a crop mark does end up still being visible, it will never be on a surface that will be visible while the deck is sitting face-down on the table leading to a "marked deck".

Something a lot of PnP file creators just do not take into consideration: You want to make your files as easy to use as possible. Or to put it a bit more rudely, you have to design for the idiots in the room. There are things that we as professionals take for granted as "This is how it should be done, because that's how I would do it professionally" that don't really apply to the average Joe sitting at home with his inkjet. Would I set these things up differently for a Printer? 100%. But when it comes to a PnP game, simplicity, ease of use, and the ability to be able to make the game without a background in Desktop Publishing / Graphic Design are what is most important.

I never watched it or read any of the books, but remember seeing lots of ads and references to it over the years.

It is not that. Also I'd be shocked, shocked if Goosebumps has not been picked yet. Did read a few of the books, never saw much of the series except for The Mask which I also had the book of - and that one, it's kinda cool.

I'll say that the made-for-TV-movie was basically just three of the tv series episodes aired in a row, but IMDB considers it separately. And stil gets to 44 episodes, so I guess it just counts them double.

They weren't remade for the film either, it's not a Twilight Zone situation where they did the whole thing again - or at least that's what I think from here, reading the Wiki page. Yes it has a Wikipedia page, it's not THAT obscure.

In terms of dice rolls, it would be helpful to have a d66 option, to give a value in the range 11-66. That is used for many look-up tables in RPGs.

I totally agree with making interfaces cleaner. Customizable sidebars could be a great solution, letting users choose what they actually need to see while browsing.
