Truly the darkest timeline. D&D goes to dudebro country, no diversity allowed, all grimdark. Horrible. I would laugh, but after Twitter became White Supremacy heaven, I don't think I can anymore.

My 3d printer. The most useful asset for any DM. Custom-fit ini counters for the DM screen? Dice box from fake wood? Large monster? Here you are.

I hope this is not seen as a drive-by post, but especially the beginning of this thread reminded me very much of the "is 0,999... to endless = 1 yes or no" discussions back in the day. Spoiler: yes.

Yes! It is indeed the most OP PHB for D&D 2024 that was ever released. Though I would have pre-ordered it much earlier if Wizards had printed "Kraken Builds!" and "Drag people into Spike Growth!" on the front cover. I still miss 4e's "once per day, if you die..." abilities, though. Bring those...

Quick poll: if you shout at your wife, and she is taller than you, do you keep eye contact or not? Hearts-in-eyes smiley reaction to this post: yes Surprised smiley reaction to this post: no Also, I looked at A Paladin in Hell again, and the visor seems to be perfectly placed for keeping eye...

I don't need more dice. sees dice with beholder in them starts clambering over other shoppers Me! Me!

While I know that I'm late for this discussion, I love that every book preview discussion we have these days is page 1 'hate this art', page 2 'its AI' and page 3 'here is A Paladin in Hell that was good was it'. I, meanwhile, look at that one picture and think 'a dark-skinned character in a...

When a post like this is made, everyone in the thread who makes their money by publishing content groans slightly, as if they were in personal pain (they are), and then moves on.

Hmpf. In the olden days we would have had to wait for the DMG to learn what an elephant costs. I mean, the DM would have learned. We would have had to seek out an elephant wholesaler to find out, and then a horsesalesperson to compare.

This thread is not about acknowledging feelings, it's about if what Hasbro does impacts your relationship to D&D. And if naughty word practices and corporate greed would impact my enjoyment of D&D I'd have to stop playing REALLY early. Like, once the cash came in at TSR and people started thinking...

I'm not gonna lie, if I had to choose a corporation right now to be angry at, I wouldn't take the one that creates make-believe games. I'm reserving that for entities like United Carbon or those pricks who demolish irreplaceable cultural goods. Muttering "oh noes these vexing criminals monetized...

A good game system should ensure verisimilitude by consistent logic. This game has that. Here is a quote from the book how abilities work: "Powers: This term encompasses magic, psionics, earthpower, alchemy and chi, and may also include V.N., pure Psionics and God Power. Each type of power is...

While we wait to learn more about the most important stats, boob/cock size, as mentioned above, let me point out a really innovative game system that it is really worthy to have a revolution about. A system that we should all move to. It's a multi-genre role-playing game. Character classes...

Sigh. If you want to do something to stick it to those nasty corporate overlords who have the gall to sell us glossy D&D books (the gall!), play something that is different. Play Dogs in the Vineyard. Burning Wheel. Rebel by being different. Back in the day we angrily started to play Vampire...

Wow that is very creative! But looks extremely deadly. I'll save it for later. Yes, 4e had several good ideas, and this was one of them. It's a great book, but I'm not the biggest fan anymore of 3.5 statblocks I think the team would rather make a gumbo inside of the beholder body. A kind of...
