I was guessing it was designed to cut the seriousness of the moment, to show the audience that this was a different kind of show from GoT. "I'm going to be a knight!" Dramatic GoT theme song begins Cut the song a few seconds in with a scene of him shitting behind a tree That being said, I did...

I've only regretted Kickstarters because I overspend, sell myself on stuff that might (probably) never get used, and then it sits there taking up space, collecting dust, and reminding me of unnecessary debt 😅 . I have thousands of dollars of unpainted minis, between reaper and CMON crowdfunds...

2C Gaming (RIP) did a LOT of high level/high difficulty monster books. Check them out. 2CGaming

Yup- he gave a talk at PAX East years ago in the Kickstarter room called "How to Monetize Your Youtube Audience." I think it was around the time of K&W's crowdfund campaign. It's funny because I went there for solely for that talk, decided to drive to Boston sort of on a whim the week before...

Funnels aren't unique to DCC- there are rules and adventures for funnels in other systems. I ran the funnel from MCDM's Arcadia zine for dnd5e.

I voted 4. By default, in my games, a long rest requires two uninterrupted days of respite. This decouples sleep from long resting, which is a big thing in my mind- it doesn't matter if a LR takes one day or ten, once you've made it clear that sleep =/= LR then it makes challenging party...

I think the reputation that was eventually earned by artisan dice was "you'll get your dice... eventually- and they'll probably/hopefully be what you thought you'd be getting." I heard of orders being fulfilled anywhere from months to over a year after the order was placed- I imagine acquiring...

Nothing's going to link with DDB better than DDB. and I assume the VTT that you do use is DDB's Maps VTT? There ARE other VTTs that can hook up to and import stuff from DDB, for example there are FoundryVTT modules that do so, but if DDB is the most important thing to you... yeah you're not...

IMO it could use more practical effects over CGI, but it has all my nostalgia bones tickled. I liked it, would like it more with practical effects.

The most common scouts I've had at my tables, and often, are Pact of the Chain familiars via Imps. They're kind of nuts. Yes, they're not all-seeing BUT they're invisible, they can be directly guided at long distance, they have good sneaking stats, etc. Again, they're not foolproof but boy are...

I don't think it's a bad thing to have a haven with limits like the Ranger knack. Tying them to an area, requiring them to have some outpost to head back to when they get really messed up (needing a haven) isn't a bad thing. Yes Tiny Hut is also an answer, but I think the Ranger knack is a lot...

There's a bunch of info here: Artisan Dice - Dice Collecting Wiki

IIRC the Artisan Dice guy has warrant out for his arrest in a state because of ignoring requests to appear for a lawsuit related to business practices...

That's an interesting change. So instead of Destroy Undead, auto-killing CR# and lower, they do enough damage to destroy the low-level stuff but probably not stuff like Wights and Mummies. Basically it'll work against all undead cuz they'll take some damage, but it's actually less effective...

Part of the answer here is legacy, because this is how high level clerics have worked for many editions. It's not supposed to be incredibly effective and used all the time, it's supposed to be for the rare/occasional "oh this room full of skeletons that'll bog us down? Insta-kill. Those mummies...
