    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    Well, I have had two instances. The first time involved me retiring my character after the GM had my character's reason for adventuring and the resulting situation created a situation where it made sense for him to retire. The second involved the party (experienced adventurers) arriving at a...

    What was your 2nd RPG?

    It was either Boot Hill 2e, Gamma World 1e, or Top Secret 1e. We played a few sessions of each around the same time.

    D&D General Explain 5(.5)e to me

    I am kind of in a weird spot with 5e which is not my default system when running fantasy. However, it is the version of D&D that I will run if the group wants D&D despite starting D&D around 1980, I prefer the 5e 2014 chassis to TSR D&D/AD&D. Yet, at the same time, I dislike the default...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    OK. I don't know anything about Glicker and the Bookscan stunt. However, I also don't regularly watch Roll For Combat. I, occasionally, will click on it when it comes across my YouTube feed which is not that often.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    What about Teos makes his conclusions stronger (Asking as I know nothing about Teos)? As I understand it, Glicker has a corporate background and has dealt with quarterly reports. I might be wrong, but I recall it being mentioned in the past.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Stephen Glicker also pulled out the quarterly posts. I have never had to deal with quarterly reports which is why I am curious as to others' opinions since I am there are other posters that most likely have. Yeah, since sales can also start strong and then tank. I think one of Stephen's points...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    He didn't rely on Bookscan. He mentioned it, but at one pointed, he mentioned the limitations of Bookscan for sales now in comparison to 2014. I am curious about thoughts regarding when he talked about Hasbro's report to shareholders. He discusses 1) How things in the report were worded; 2...

    Does anyone have thoughts on Stephen Glicker's (Roll for Combat) take?

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    Probably not. Overall, I like many things about 5e I may be trying to run a short session of D&D (the first time running anything since before COVID). If I do, I am going to use 2014 and, maybe, borrow a few things from 2024 that people revealed in reviews of various classes. While I like some...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    I can releate. When I was about ten or so, my friends and I, not knowing better, walked across a mudflat to get back to our campsite. I stepped in a patch of quickmud. Thankfully, my friends were able to pull me out, but I did lose one or both of my sneakers.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    You are correct. I had 1 million in an earlier post and was looking at the wrong line on screen (visual convergence disorder) , I was looking at open window and typed 1million for 3.0. My eyes picked up 1.5 for 1e instead of line for 3.0.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Maybe, unless some reports that the popularity of D&D and the number of active 5e players has declined since the pandemic ended are true. If I recall correctly, the end of the pandemic lines up with the move to digital (I.e. about two years ago).
