    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    I'm pretty sure that was his point. "D&D" belongs to all of us.....but mostly it belongs to the people making the money from it. ;) Ask a random person on the street and they'll probably ignore you....i mean.....they'll likely think any RPG is D&D.

    The Many Faces of Roleplaying: How ‘RPG’ Became Everything and Nothing

    My joy comes from the seriousness these conversations take on. The high scoring D&D games that I take part in are a close second. I believe the original comment was made in a “tongue in cheek” manner. But then again none of this is ever as serious to me as it seems to be to others. Call...

    The Many Faces of Roleplaying: How ‘RPG’ Became Everything and Nothing

    I would say its semantics; which is the bedrock of things so it seems. If a game you are playing has no win state, isn't it just an activity you are engaging in to pass the time?

    There is no score and no one wins. It's definitely a game. ;)

    The Many Faces of Roleplaying: How ‘RPG’ Became Everything and Nothing

    A wise man once said...."RPGs aren't really games, they are activities". The quote comes from that beautiful mess of 5e recording from @SlyFlourish. I'm not sure who it was that actually said it. Calling them "games" causes.....problems.

    D&D 5E (2024) There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen: Snarf's Guide to Using (and adjudicating) Skills in 5e

    I didn't read this, but it has "skills" in the headline. Skill checks are the worst. But Snarf....Snarf is the best. There should be "Snarf Checks". 🥹 Player: I want to do this thing....rolls...fails Player: SNARF CHECK!!! DM: Son of a...... I'm still working on the details. B-)

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    @SlyFlourish suggests being the players (characters?) biggest fan. One would assume that any prep is in service to the relationship that exists in the current game between the DM and the players. After playing together long enough the DM should be able to predict (at least a little bit) how...
