For me it's Jurassic Park. I've lost track of how often I've watched it but I love it every time I watch it. I love the ones that followed (I'm a dino fan), but the first one for me is the best. Sure, the large drop at the t-rex pen doesn't really make sense but the characters, the dinosaurs...

I'll get like this before a game. I'm often second guessing myself and wondering if my players are having fun. I don't think I ever really need to worry, but I can't help it.

Something else to consider: are the majority of DnD players actually reading business magazines? I know plenty of people who had no idea about the OGL kerfuffle. I'm representative of the majority of DnD, but if not for the fact that I come to ENworld daily, there's a good to fair chance that...

I'd completely forgotten that this existed, it's been so long.

I guess the issue I have with his statement is that you really doesn't make sense (to me) to spend all your feats on combat abilities especially if you want a more well-rounded character for out-of-combat. 5e is one of the most forgiving versions of the game so spending a single feat on...

Isn't that what backgrounds and feats are for? The class skills might represent skills that complement the class and the background can grant you those intelligence skills or the background feat can let you pick up skilled for extra skills. Even in 2014 the fighter gets a bonus feat at level 6...

I will sometimes throw in hidden doors to secret chambers with loot, it's all bonus material though and doesn't really affect the adventure itself. Cool if they find it, not a problem if they don't. Because I also run my games a little more old school, I'll often have a trigger so that if they...

VTT allowed my friends and I to keep gaming during covid with all of our lockdowns. Drivethru has allowed me to access a number of RPG products I likely wouldn't have seen down here in NZ and because I'm purshasing a pdf more often than not, I have instant access. I have also built up a large...

What about asking for 4 wings instead? Just wondering how that would change things.

I wish there was a game sort of similar to X-Com but set on Cybertron where the transformers factions are fighting for control. There was a game based on cyberverse but it doesn't really scratch that itch for building up your faction. You could have the original autobots and decepticons of...

Yeah, but you have to differentiate information appearing in your head and information appearing in you character's head. The character sheet can't model everything the character can know and I rather think that either way, the info isn't spontaneously appearing in your character's head, it's...

I voted yes, I have a number of gods with their listed portfolios and different races/cultures follow different subsets of the gods. I don't have priests of X god, rather I have priests of X faith.

I don't look at enough kickstarters to be able to tell that but I have seen a lot of cheaper books on drivethru rpg that have AI art covers.

Really only created for me when I built my campaign setting ages ago since it rarely if ever comes up in game. I have the Prime/Mortal Realm; next to it are the Feywild (closer to Celestia) and Shadowfell (closer to Infernis). Surrounding The Prime is the Elemental Chaos. Above the...

I'm the same, I've just had a look at the previews and it looks like it might be a somewhat streamlined take on 3e.
