What about that new 'adventure' everyone was supposed to be able to get on D&D Beyond for free? It sounds from folks reviews that its a simple couple of encounters with a nice map. Maybe that would work?

It certainly helps me and my table innovate. We get all kinds of ideas from everywhere and incorporate it into our RPG experience (currently OSE Advanced). I don't care anymore what WOTC does or doesn't do with the D&D brand or game. 5e is not the game for me, so I play something else. When...

And I wish that I had bought Games Workshop stock when all the armchair financial experts were calling for their "imminent demise" over the last 30 years. Or at least if I had a dime every time someone posted they were going to go bankrupt 'soon'(tm). Must have something to do with fanbases or...

I'll need a source or citation on how normal it is. Just kidding. Really, in my opinion, I think it boils down to "citation please" being a way to not engage with the discussion. And this board is about discussion, its not a medical conference or academic setting. People put out their...

Boy, some people take their RPGing waaay too seriously... sheesh...

I've been enjoying watching CFL games a lot more than NFL games... there, I said it. I just hope the CFL Commish gets his head out of his whatsit before trying to make the CFL a copy of the NFL.

We've always played that "displaced" distance was counted, regardless of how many hexes the mech moved. We found that the opposite led to some daft and unfun gameplay (for us). So I guess we were always houseruling that particular element, and we've been playing since the second edition CBT...

Only playing OSE Advanced (so Basic+?) at this point, with the occasional Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures. Those are about the level of complexity that me and my group are interested in at this point in our playing lives.

My campaigns may be set in post-war settings, or where there are lost civilizations, which technically could be "post apocalyptic", but I'm tired of the 'end of world' tropes in RPGs, where every campaign has to stop some world ending threat. I have been focusing my campaigns on an area...

Well, at least someone said it. That totally explains what's going on when threads get longer than 20 pages... :rolleyes:

I also have a VHS player, and still listen to my music cassettes. But I never upgraded to Blueray. Oh, look, time for my nap. :sleep:

Way to side step the well written post that specifically calls out rules that undermine your (repeated) point, and then post the same tired retort. No wonder I rarely come back to these boards (except to read this thread and @Snarf Zagyg 's musings)

I'm curious about the necklace, bracers, and belt with a jeweled dagger on it. Seems a little bit much for just an animal companion or familiar. Almost like it intends to, and knows how to, use them.

We started DnD back in '82-83 (Catholic gradeschool), I was the president of our DnD club in high school (private Catholic high school, enshrined in the year book :oops:), and there was not a peep about the Satanic Panic from any adult, except my one friend's (our DM's) uncle, who was deep into...

Nah, this will likely not move the needle. Look at tabletop wargaming, and the big names of designers there - Andy Chambers, Jervis Johnson, Alessio Cavatore, etc. who all left Games Workshop 20, 4, and 14 years ago respectively, joined other game companies, started other game companies...
