    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    Problem is they should have known this would be a big opportunity to introduce a whole bunch of new folks to the miniatures hobby who aren't used to the marketing, and they fumbled that. They definitely can do better. A couple of random figures I grabbed, one common and one uncommon, from recent...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    There definitely seems to be quality levels budgeted for each set. Some figures get very detailed, multicolor paint jobs with face stamping, while others get maybe two colors and a wash. Some are quite good, some muddy and dreary. These premium sets should be showpiece levels though, especially...

    Tv in gaming table and general gaming table advice

    I built my 60" table tv frame out of 20x20mm t-slot aluminum tubing, anodized black, lifting the tv about 4" above the tabletop. This lets people slide books and tablets under the edge, increasing the amount of usable table space. LED strip lighting around the bottom outside edge gives people...

    D&D General Dual Wielder, Two-weapon Fighting, Nick

    I believe the RAW has been covered. I hate that 2024 doesn't have an option to wield two non-light weapons now though, so we're playtesting a houserule for the 2nd bullet of Dual Wielder: Enhanced Dual Wielding. You treat all melee weapons lacking the Two-Handed property as if they had the...

    D&D 5E Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    Some issues we've noted, some are just general to D&DB and not specific to 2024. The character sheet does not let you spend hit dice arbitrarily on things outside of a short rest. See the 2024 Healer feat for an example of why this is necessary. 2024 warlocks only have access to the 2024 PHB...

    D&D (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    Are the NPC stat blocks really just sorted into the general monster list and not in a separate appendix? That's going to make a lot of needless searching.

    How many were abused due to their love of D&D, RPGs, and related items when they were young?

    Despite growing up in a conservative evangelical family in the 80s, they never had a problem with D&D stuff. In fact my first product was a used basic set my mom picked up at a rummage sale for me.
