Sorry to hear about this Dave. A friend told me about it and I just had to return to tell you how very sorry I am to hear this. Feel your sorrow, but it is obviously she was much loved, so remember that. My next character will be a Warlock, for you and her. Again, my deepest and most sincere...

Well, the time has come to bid you all a fond farewell. I've come to the sad realization that D&D and this community is no longer for me. Many of you I've had incredible discussions with and I thank you for that; and some of you--well, not so much. ;) It is time to move on. Good-bye...

I know such things appeal to a lot of D&D players. But I don't think you can say the movie represents what D&D is, but it certainly is what D&D can be if that is what you want. As I said in my first post, it is one of the most marvelous qualities of the game--it can be a lot of different things...

That's sort of insulting, do you realize that? It's fine if you feel that way, of course, but to call how someone else chooses to live their life "sad" is not cool. Life is for doing the things you like to do and enjoying those things. Learning new things is very different from trying something...

@Ruin Explorer I imagine it is akin to Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I don't care for them at all. Watched the 1st and felt it was more or less a waste of time for me. Yeah, it had some redeeming parts, but all in all I wished I had spent my time doing something else. Now, I like a lot of...

There is never enough time, is there.... :D It isn't the same thing as being familiar with the game system the movie is "based on" (so to say...). Not everyone in the world always wants to branch out and try new things. Most people like what they know and are comfortable with. I have enough...

Mine isn't different from everyone else's. In fact, all the people I've played with from 1978 until now have played pretty much the same as I do. When I meet people who play their own version of D&D, I don't play with them. True, we are the minority, and I understand that, so while many of you...

FWIW, I have no idea of any of the things you're talking about in your edit. 🤷‍♂️ And none of them have anything to do with what D&D is to me. Obviously they have something to do with what D&D is (or was maybe?) to you, which is cool for you. None that claim to be a "D&D" movie and present a...

It really hasn't been since WotC took over... 🤷‍♂️ But enough people are already engaging in the "this vs. that" discussion, so to each their own.

I'm sure as a movie it is perfectly fine. Great actors, direction, special effects, etc. But, it isn't D&D to me. Also, there are many movies most people like (and are called good by many), which I never cared for once I watched them. So, I can't miss out on something I don't want. ;) But, I'm...

I like dungeons, of course, but the important thing for me is that the dungeon have a purpose and a reason to exist organically in my adventure/ game world. I don't like to adventure in a dungeon just for the sake of playing in a dungeon. As for the amount of time devoted to a dungeon...

And this is why I won't see the movie... because what the movie is isn't D&D to me. While D&D has it's own things, it also has everything else from the early influences, and without them, it becomes something else (again, to me). My preference is for the dark medieval-like world, with orcs and...

We had all three (Dancing Lights, Light, and Produce Flame) as 1st level spells for a while, but frankly with nearly half of all the races having darkvision, it becomes a non-issue anyway. When we have PCs without darkvision, usually a caster will take the spell to cast on those PCs anyway since...

Since this temporarily shifted to an economics discussion, FWIW in my games I equate 1 gp = 100 USD. So, if the PCs dropped 2000 pp (like they ever would in my games LOL! they never really have the sort of cash...), it would be equal to 2 million USD today. Yes, it is A LOT of money, but spread...

Interesting dialgoues everyone! I find it very noteful that some people have changed their votes--I think that alone signifies this is a point in D&D that should be addressed more. Yes, I know 5E is all about rulings over rules, yadda yadda yadda, but my preferences is for rules, which DM's can...
