Certainly glad folks were able to influence that outcome. No game is perfect, but my friends and I have sure gotten a lot of mileage out of 2014 5e. Thus far it looks like we will stay with it for the foreseeable future barring some release that we do not anticipate.

We have some in long term groups (close friends) who love to play but are simply not as rules savvy, forum savvy or DIY savvy. They love to RP and roll d20s, sometimes with prompting. My pop point—-is that I also have that experience. The others of us are rules Teachers, game buyers...

If people did not talk about their unverified theories, what would a forum do? I have been reading about 2024 here and elsewhere for a long time. My brother joined a new group and found they are playing the 2024 version. He grabbed a PHB and I got to peruse it. For established players, I...

1/10th of that effort in having fun… Pages and pages…the investment in misery is staggering. Not everyone sucks. No conspiracies. Make a character and go play something.

Why play the game? There is a wargame potential. We want to be challenged in solving a problem….or we want to roleplay and pretend to be something else… All of this is on a continuum I think. I do not like playing, dm ing or being in anprty with characters that are in the tails. Weak and a...

Pounding coors light playing gears of war with son and buddies!

My wife rolled with it. Now our children play games with Dad along with friends of decades. My wife has zero interest but accepts my glass cabinets full of toys…she can watch her shows which hold mom interest to me. We can watch LOTR or Dune movies together though. You dodged a bullet, sir...

I try to stay “in the game” and terrain, drawing, mini collecting helps curb the urge to play when I cannot. Today I found images for character representation…and have a bunch of terrain to dry brush…

I am a big Gygax fan generally. But am so glad D&D survived to the present. Like 5e…but am most grateful it is not “the end.” It might be the end for me, but the game lives on. But make no mistake the game lives! I have been playing about 4 decades and now my kids play (they only know...

Yeah. Good for goose, good for gander. The game is and is always an arms race if you want challenges. The problem with magic being too powerful is best handled I think with making it dangerous. Clearly that is not how the game has trended and may not be what a majority wants. 🤷‍♂️ Just...

I feel you but with some recent games we had player death and did not capture or kill the main target. I think all things being equal, yes, the game leans into players showing off toys. Because they have too many! And I don’t men variety but rather number of uses. Combine spells and domain...

You have never been to St. Louis… You will be rolling for initiative But you hesitate to say city

I will buy that for a varying value dollar!

Ok. You got The answers. You get people to go with your way…the better way. The way you like. Congrats.

If the group does not communicate or get along, no other recommendation matters much: in which case imploring people to find matters little. I am saying find the guns nd group you like. If you do, you will avoid poor communication and dashed expectations. Find your fun. Find your group...
