Main draw of DMs Guild is visibility, right? From what I heard there are people who kickstarted their independent rpg careers with generic, but well-done products for DMs Guild, like Second Black Dawn, whose author is now acclaimed for independent products in Itally.

I keep seeing posts and video thumbnails implying as if there is a controversy with the SRD, anyone knows what it may about?

That is going to grow all the way up to 2-12. And considering how many attacks Monk makes, all of which can be unarmed, this is going to add up significantly. Plus a bit of additional control in extra push is also helpful. I agree, Beastmaster is one Ranger subclass that requires you to have...

Sorry, I didn't notice when replying that for some reason a WIP of reply in a different thread got added to the top of my post. Didn't knew it can happen, my bad.

In his video Matt flat out states that this is both normal and healthy. He also states it is normal for a group to begin with one game and only move out to another once they get bored or to become obsessed for a long time with a single game and only play it. What I think is important to note is...

That is a deflective stance to wave off responsibility for one's actions and its consequences. Do you not think a non-profit has a moral obligation to weed-out sponsors and do not take sponsorship from those who may have vexed interest in undermining or corrupting the non-profit's mission...

When I run I have no problem letting players pick up character of appriopriate level from previous campaign that is in the same setting or the character has canonically ended in a place where it could make sense for them to got to the campaign's next setting.

And I find that, especially in the context of NaNoWriMo being sponsored by a company that is going big on AI, to be a betrayal of the entire writing community. And while the words "poor disabled people" weren't exact words used, they do describe the way many have read the message of this post...

What is weird or narrow about official group behind a world-wide phenomeon using disgusting ableist rhetorics to push AI after accepting AI company as one of their sponsors, effectively alienating their entire fanbase by telling them they'll be replaced and that some of them are too stupid to...

This was literally how last year NaNoWriMo tried to justify using AI, by claiming "poor disabled people" are just unable to write without it and everyone who dislikes AI is ableist. There was a HUGE backlash from disabled writers who were not happy being infantilized to sell a naughty word toy that...

AI doesn't HELP you do anything, it generates ready, garbage, thing. The idea it is "helping" is currently being pushyed through VERY ableist lenses by AI bros, trying to pass it as a tool for the disabled people, effectively treating every disabled person ans unable to do anything on their own...

Tavern Brawler is very useful for Monk. I did the math and it is in fact ten times more useful. There is a 6% chance any other class using Tavern Brawler will reroll will jsut get 1 again. For Monk that chance is 2% and goes down every time their Martial Arts die improves, down to 0.6%. And...

Big deal, I never felt like I fit in this or any hobby. My whole life is a history of trying to make myself place in the hobbies full of people that fundamentally despise my existence without knowing me. My disillusionment with comic book fandom and video game fandom and anime fandom can be all...

Yes, this is for a damage dealer perspective. And this effectively scales the damage up on all tiers, it is jsut notable it even outscales the highest tiers. However, if you get Ranger levels first, you could technically grab Epic book at Monk 16, since it will be your effective character level...

I see a lot of daring choices and improvements mechanically, I am even tempted to get 2024 Monster Manual and player's Handbook (but Bastions scare me away from Dungeon Master's Guide due to their "I WIN" button nature). But I see a lot of books that were criticised for dismissive approach to...
