    D&D 5E Halflings are the 7th most popular 5e race

    That's exactly how Paul describes it. Such an RPG should at least yield something for 10 years and for this, new books must simply come out regularly. Especially we have seen that in the 4th edition. But what the heck, with the 3 basic rulebooks you can get far and as always, you are not forced...

    Picard Season 3

    Yes, ENT is enough to watch once, while DS9 or some episodes of TNG make it into the rerun more often. VOY started quite well, but the ending and the endless resources made the whole thing a bit exhausting. I watched PIC 1 and tried to like the 2nd season, but it just wasn't my cup of tea...

    D&D (2024) Rests should be dropped. Stop conflating survival mechanics with resource recovery.

    A rest can be very great in roleplaying, of course only with the right game master and players who are into it. But that doesn't happen often, because the hunt for treasure or the like doesn't allow for the quieter moments of roleplaying.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    One should simply approach the matter objectively. If the film had grossed $500 million ++ at the box office, there would not be this discussion about whether the film had earned its costs. With everything that is below, you can only speak on flop is finally the topic here in the thread. I...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    From our LARP group of about 60 players, many of whom also play D&D, many were in the movie. Only 3 friends liked it. So I'm not at all surprised that the film flopped. To pull up something like the MCU Phase1, it needs more than a fat dragon and potatoes. Well, maybe it will be better next...

    Planescape 5 New D&D Books Coming in 2023 -- Including Planescape!

    Most people were not upset about the division into three books, but about the non-existent substance of the same. Feel free to make 5 book slipcases, if the quality of the content is right there will only be a few grumblers, which there always are, but overall there will be positive feedback...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie Review

    Oh one more thing, my favorite movie is Alien 1 from 1979. The main character is a woman and I have no problem with that if the script fits and the story is coherent. Also, in the role-playing groups I am and have been in, women don't play barbaric village idiots who have to take every fight...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie Review

    @Blackwarder In the new Lord of the Rings - Magic the Gathering from the same company, Aragorn is black skin, which would never make sense in the context of Tolkien. Why and why not? Let everyone figure it out for themselves. The Little Mermaid (Disney movie) is now also black and heroes are...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie Review

    I don't expect a super great film. In recent years, the reviews and the hype were simply too high. Mostly the oneliner and the CGI are more important than a reasonable script or even heroes with development have become very rare. So who expects a miracle here at once, should not be disappointed...

    So WHY Didn't The OGL Contain The Word 'Irrevocable'?

    Let them charge $10, you don't have to use it. Take Roll20 and Pathfinder or something else. None of that matters, only OGL 1.0a matters.
