    What are you reading in 2025?

    Finished Wesley Chu's "The Art of Legend" (3rd of 3 in his War Art's Trilogy). He was aiming for a Wuxia style story and it feels like he got it to me - although my exposure to the genre is about three well known movies. Like with the other two, I really like the world building and martial arts...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I can't even get past a bunch of things I don't buy often being stuck in my head with the prices they had 5 or 10 years ago, in spite of using adjustments for cost of living/inflation as examples on class all the time.

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I'm not claiming it is consistent or makes sense, but... I will easily drop $100 (USD) for a single physical book that I want sitting on my shelf even if I won't use it I will be fine paying $50 for a physical book that I want to use in a game I will easily drop $15 for a .pdf of something that...

    D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books

    A druid/barbarian in a game I'm on usually has it ready at least once a day .. ...but it might be an item.

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    I have the Avery one listed at the bottom - could definitely tell it was hi grav!! I don't rate the IPAs, Sours, or HiGravs since they aren't in my usual wheel house.

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    Tis the season. Five new (to me) pumpkin beers at one of the four big stores in town. Cautionary Tail Pumpkin Ale by Fat Orange Cat Brewery in North Haven, CT. 8% ABV ale with Pumpkin, Vanilla, and Spices. Lots of spice to start, and then a bit more pumpkin than I would choose. A solid...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I'm kind of confused about the difference between a work around and a houserule. I mean, I assume it is a matter of degree. Is reskinning a workaround or houserule usually, for example?

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    I am very doubtful I will ever use this one...but I am a huge fan of B2, and and so am a getting it to sit next to my OG B2, 2e revisited, and GG B1/B2. I can't think of any other thing they could have made the starter set about that I would have done that for (barring some properties I don't...

    To play, or not to play.....that is the question.

    As @payn said, check out the community rules. One commonly overlooked one is that if a mod says something to you in red you should not reply back in the thread (you can message them if you have a question). It would be unusual for someone to start a whole bunch of threads at once, but replying...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I find it a bit odd that a house rule to fix something could be unhelpful, but if someone were to publish the house rule on DnD Beyond it would be a good fix. (How much of a budget is needed to make a heartbreaker a game system?) That being said, I certainly agree that the things that work for...
