    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    I wonder if any success has ever been had with a campaign that wasn't strictly linear - where the players had x different character sheets for each level of their character from 1 to x, and on any given session, the GM would run an adventure from any point along a possible timeline, that perhaps...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm going to have to reverse myself regarding a stance that I took earlier about MtG Whenever this product is released, I will have to begin collecting - I must have everything in this set. Now granted, it's probably not enough to get me actually playing the game, but based on my unabashed...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Going great so far -- when the fat starts to congeal on top, I just blowtorch the surface a bit so that it looks a little nicer for the next Trick-or-Treater

    Ken Burnside on how screwed Asmodee is

    If I were Embracer, I would have at least wanted the 'Saudi investor arrangement' committed to paper, rather than merely a spoken deal. But the arts & entertainment and leisure industries don't have the options for shuffling money around that the tech industry enjoys, q.v. the current 'nVidia...

    General video game discussion

    But there was a time when you played it semi-regularly? Twenty years ago, I used to log into EverQuest fairly regularly - the cycle has slowed - I may log into in once a year or one-and-a-half years, just for a brief taste before going on to other things. NMS never quite reached that point.

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

    In the alternate universe in which I'm still alive in 2044, I'd probably buy the books just to check them out. I'm a mortal 'Uatu the Watcher', observing all the moments dispassionately, but with a certain curiosity.

    General video game discussion

    My experience is similar - I'll get interested by something, an update maybe, try it again briefly, and the game's loop will push me away from it once again.

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

    Sounds like corpo-speak needs a healthy dose of internet shorthand - they should preface their financial tweets with 'ngl' so that everyone knows they're sincere.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    One of the neat things about Tolkienian cosmology is that other philosophies can be applied to it better than or as well as Catholicism - there's a cyclical nature, and recurring motifs in many of the stories that could easily fit Buddhism/Stoicism/Existentialism/Epicureanism. The beautiful and...

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    I've never played and have no intention of playing MtG. I prefer Silmarillion to LotR. I watched 'The Force Awakens', thought it was very meh, and haven't bothered with the other two sequel films. I've no interest in reading Dune. I think Denis Villanueve is a great filmmaker though...

    D&D General 'Project Sigil' 3D Virtual Tabletop Finally Laid To Rest

    If there's one conclusion to be drawn from the above, it's that there's obviously room for more VTT environments for different aesthetic tastes/hardware specs - I'd enjoy seeing Sigil continue to grow & take shape in under a different oversight/management arrangement: private (sold)...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I've used '5.5E' and '5E2024'.

    Trailer Solasta 2 Trailer

    Will this use the 5.5 ruleset? My wife and I enjoyed playing Solasta - if this improves upon that, I can see us playing this co-op. If finances (or significant discounts) allow, I could probably talk her into playing BG3 together in the interim.
