    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    Q in some episodes of Star Trek Next Generation. Empress Sato in the Star Trek Enterprise episodes "Through the Mirror Darkly". IMO - a CE critter doesn't think of itself as CE. It is just doing what it thinks is best at the time or as part of a longer term plan. The side effects of its...

    New Lord of the Rings movie in the works centered around Tom Bombadil

    If it gets received much like the final season of Game of Thrones. HBO had to bring in writers off the bench after G.R.R.M quit writing GoT books. The final season is considered by many to be a botched ending. A lot of Middle Earth fans have a vision of what 'should be'. If this new movie...

    D&D General Did you realize The Forgotten Realms is the most written fantasy world ever?

    While not fantasy, the amount of system info on the Traveller Map site: The Traveller Map is rather astounding. Many of the thousands of dots on that map link to wiki entries with a description of that dot's system. Add in the many versions of the game published since the original little black...

    New Lord of the Rings movie in the works centered around Tom Bombadil

    Hope it turns out better then the ending for Game of Thrones after G.R.R.M. didn't produce the books for a proper ending. This seems like it could fall into the same trap. A movie set in a Tolkien designed setting but is a story largely not written by Tolkien.

    D&D General Favorite Underrated D&D Monsters for Low-Level Encounters

    Rust Monster. Turns the tables on those metal clad fighting tank types.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Maybe step 1 is to list all the current and past settings and the box(es) that each checks. Asking WOTC/Hasbro to spend time on making a 'new' setting that largely replicates an existing one will be a hard sell. What hasn't been covered by one or more existing settings?

    Let's Talk About Defining Player Characters

    Prefer pure point buy like GURPS. Lets me design the character I think I want rather then having to plow through piles of books trying to find the magic combo of class/sub-class/archtype + traits + feats + ??? to get something close to concept. Often still missing something that makes perfect...

    RPG Evolution: Me vs. the Mob

    I was in a high level 3.5 game with 10 players. Even if everyone was ready, it was often 30~45 minutes between each player's action times. One thing we did during combats was encourage pre-rolling your attack dice before your turn. And damage dice if you already knew the to hit number. Also...

    D&D General Weird "DnD Is Dead" Youtube Trend??

    Lots of folks make money from YT videos. Anything that attracts clicks is fair game. Posting a mostly nonsensical title is a good way to get clicks and therefore earn sweet sweet click money. In many ways, YT has become the gossip media of the Internet. And like the MiB, we have to figure...

    https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-d-d-memes-thread.693664/page-228#post-9880410 This ^ In a current game, GM asked me to roll dice for 'something' related to what my character was doing during cleanup in an Orc stronghold. The next morning, discovered a mimic had followed my character back...

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    That is my understanding as well. SF2 is supposedly mix and match with PF2. Might be some terminology issues between PF2(OGL) and SF2(ORC) but probably nothing that can't be puzzled out.

    Your Top 5 Superhero Outfits

    For many of the same logic points for the Christopher Reeve Superman outfit, the Adam West Batman outfit. The Green Lantern movie outfit. Captain Marvel's outfit. I liked the Stark Industries Spiderman outfit for the cool factor but Spiderman is more about doing Spidy things instead of high...

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    PF2 is a 6 year old game. Possible a lot of folks that already had PF2 skipped the remastered books. The remasters are advertised as includes errata + name changes to escape the last vestiges of WOTC IP. Around $200 for errata and name changes might be more then a lot of existing PF2 players...

    Buffy Reboot Cancelled

    Not sure how someone could be described as a 'hater' if that person never saw the show. Sounds like Hulu is cutting expenses and cancelling a reboot with several known stars is a quick way to cut future expenses. Making a new show with cheap unknown talent seems the fad these days. Its also...

    How Do you have an adult conversation?

    Don't worry about having an 'adult' conversation. Kids often do a better job of communicating then adults. Just have a conversation. The medium of the message depends on the situation. If the situation is salvageable, then in person is probably best. But if the game is primarily VTT, then...

    RPG systems frozen in time

    While generally set in the far future, watching how Traveller deals with computers is entertaining. In the 70's Traveller, computers are massive multi-ton things that sit in the bowels of a ship and can only run one or two things at a time. As the game versions get closer to now in publishing...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Maybe no. Glowing sword. Nat 20. Head severed from attack. Dead dragon. Previous room featured an encounter with a well dressed gentleman offering the Fighter in question "The Big Deal of the Day".
