“Whatever makes sense in the fiction.” That answers 99% of all “rules” questions. “You talk to your fellow player like adults.” That answers 99% of all “I have a problem at my table” questions.

I always thought it was Warduke. shrug Cool. Warrior women rock.

At least the sheet looks cool.

"What's the big deal? I don't need nothing but fireball."

Never mind.

The thing about training wheels/stabilizers is you're supposed to take them off after you've learned to ride the bike. I guess it says something that you've been riding bikes for decades and still using training wheels/stabilizers. It says something else entirely that you're proud of still using...

And they got it from IndestructoBoy.

They're wrong and being silly. Shrug and let them be mad.

The May 1st update said the books were sent to the printer. No idea what that means in regards to general release/availability. There are quite a few monsters in the core book but it also includes rules and random charts to customize and build-your-own for several categories of monsters, like...

Two longish videos related to the topic for anyone interested.

When I think about LitRPG novels for some reason I remember that Philip K Dick wrote Man in the High Castle using the I Ching. I wish there was a version of the novel that included the questions he asked, what he threw, and the answers given in the text. I think it would destroy the narrative...

With the 5.1 SRD I’m surprised there aren’t more explicitly D&D-adjacent LitRPG novels. Do you read that genre? I have tried a few but bounced off hard. Any recommendations?

To each their own. I've found their stuff to be some of the most helpful I've ever read. And following their advice has drastically reduced my stress from running games. I can't speak to Pathfinder, but I've run and played the hell out of 4E. Combat encounters are dead simple to create and...
