    Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head

    If I were the optimistic type I'd say that this might mean that Wizards will do a better job of coordinating different aspects of the brand in order to capitalize on potential synergies (16 years since I worked in the corporate world and I still got the lingo down ;) ), so for example, a starter...

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    While I didn’t do a spread, I had players declare how many cards they planned to draw (0 to 3) and then I laid out that number face down before them like this: Player Declares then cuts the cards. Let’s say they declare 3. I lay out 1 and then put one aside “for the god of luck,” lay out...

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    When/If I get a chance tonight I’ll share my opinions. But after using someone else’s deck as a reward the PCs were given a clue as to the location of another deck they might use to mitigate the negative effects of their first go round (or risk even worse results).

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    I am out and about right now so can’t find the link but I did recently post about a version of the deck I made/used for one of my current games. My advice it to just decide on a number (like 22) and then just pick and choose what makes most sense for your game/setting/scenario/characters

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Just seeing an image of the Banana Splits starts to make me feel nauseated like I just realized someone had clandestinely dosed me with acid. I'm not kidding. They always gave me an oogy feeling as a kid - and on to today.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Middle School?! I had to have those memorized by 5th grade! It really is worth knowing, though. I credit playing D&D since I was 11 with my ability to do quick math in my head.

    Reaction Emojis currently limited to Thumbs Up?

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    Roger Moore. Bond is such an absurd and wacky concept that anyone who plays it straight fails and his approach seems to fit best. The Daniel Craig ones are the worst.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are so many things I want to respond to in that thread, most of which are references to variations of the Kruger-Dunning Effect regarding evaluating your own play style and processes. But I won't.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I keep going back to that thread when I know I really shouldn’t. But the rest of the forum seems kinda slow lately.
