My friend ran a game of daggerheart last weekend and it was a lot of fun, looked like a bit of a mental load on the DM but he ran it well and I did enjoy the freeform nature of it. My cat wizard was very grateful for the turtle guardian who soaked a few hits for me. I thought the spotlight...

Played a 5e game that was meant to be 2014 but one of the players, not knowing the difference in DnDbeyond made a 2024 fighter and everything worked fine, really wasn't all that noticeable other than that he'd use his weapon masteries.

I've had a lot of fun developing campaign settings or creating classes/subclasses using chatgpt, it was more to see what it could come up with and some of it was really quite good, particularly the setting part since it doesn't rely on mechanics that it would often get wrong. For...

I think we've gone around in circles enough times that this is an agree to disagree situation. As a player I've never had any doubt about the metagame when a ruling is made in the session and then the correct rule is noted afterwards. As a DM I've never had any player try to argue to keep using...

Well, I've never had it happen that one of my friends kept arguing for the previous ruling after we've corrected the rules and moved on. If they did, then unfortunately that would mean the table wasn't the right fit for them and they would no longer be invited back to play. There is no risk of...

Glad I'm not the only one. A couple of times looking at the thread title I spent a bit of time trying to figure out when I joined the thread.

No it isn't, mistakes happen, you just correct and move on. I have never played with someone where, when I've told everyone the error and corrected it going forward, they've come back and tried to argue for the original ruling at the table. Everyone tends to accept it and move on using the...

Yeah, I'm happy to try out other rpgs, but the one suggesting it has to be the one to run it. Same with if I'm wanting to try something new; I'll run it, the other players don't even necessarily have to know how to play, I'll explain things as we go.

You don't need to retcon anything, you can just say "Hey everyone, that was incorrect, we will run it the correct way from now on". No retcon needed, the game keeps on running fine. Sure in some groups players might be laughing, but if I ask the player of the thief to stop stealing from my PC...

They don't really have an ironclad argument unless you never correct the issue. If the mistake that happened is just a mistake in game rules, you correct it later and then move on. Some of us prefer not to have players who are antagonistic towards each other. If I was playing in a game and...

I thought I watched a different AI art thread at some point and people were posting in it again. Totally didn't click that it was a title update!

I'm the same when it comes to rules, made so many mistakes and rulings early on in 5e, we just kept the game moving then I looked up rules later on and let everyone know. Had no impact on previous sessions (such as turning a win into a loss), it just changed how we played in the future. I'm...

The d12 is the greatest, I love that chonky boy.

More scamming of old people on facebook?

They're getting pretty good now, I rarely see too much in the way of weird artefacts like extra fingers or a sword where the blade doesn't match up with the handle.
