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

    We debate endlessly and participate in discussions and make comments. So it matters up to the point of motivating that much behavior at least. When every point ends with “think about the inclusion” this corporation is helping achieve or “you are blind to your biases” I do feel some urge to...

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

    One big problem all people have is not having a realistic idea of intent and purpose when a business sends signals. I am not into mind reading with individuals, but companies are pretty transparent. The picture of the the blue guy sweeping the bearded guy off of his feet is not to me about...

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

    You are not wrong. But are there any pictures of male female romance in 5e? Or in ads? I don’t remember any. But maybe as you say it’s because I am blind to representations that are more common.

    I think it is time for a break.

    Life forced breaks upon me off and on over the years. I had a long boardgames run…then mostly Xbox. RPGs are labor intensive and hard to schedule. As a result, for my family and friends it often gets put off and delayed. I think part of my ongoing love for 5e is that I just have not played...

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    I think of it as a conflict… My overall thought is that humans irl battle with the drive to do right for the self but that this is in dynamic tension with our drive to do for others as social animals. The idea that most are neutral makes sense. And we have wicked people and also selfless...

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

    If you don’t like the current direction, don’t buy it. It’s cyclical. More of what you like will make a comeback. I am a 1st, 3rd, 5th guy…skipping 2e, 3.5 revised and mostly 4e. If you don’t like the weather, make a great game with your pals and focus on that. 6e may bring u joy… But NOW...

    D&D General Refresher Course D&D Edition Numbers. AKA Modern D&D Is a Self Inflicted Problem.

    Every edition so far both solves and creates problems. I think there were a few things 1e simply had “right” but the “right” just depends on your preferences. The more you toy with one thing, the more you break another. It’s ok as long as you can settle and choose and just move forward. We...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    I did not connect that. Watched a number of episodes of one piece with my kid! But no idea where in the series…or if they were actually contiguous. That show is nuts!

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    Years ago while my wife and I were poor and in grad school, we co-played the windwaker In the Zelda series. She was the brains, I was the reflexes! Anyway, the joy of landing on a new island was genuine. It hard to explain the wonder I sometimes felt. If you could bottle that feeling of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are times when I crave novelty. Been gaming with my friends for God 35-40 years (40 in one case…we were wee lads back then). But I will say I love the ease with which we just get along. Someone has “loose” campaign world, curated only to a point. Then playees Make a character…varying...

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    We are playing and will continue playing 5e. We are not using mordenkainens updates for races. So it’s mostly Tasha’s and what was before. I think our play time is less than many groups…with kids and kids sports and work and video game and conflicting schedules…I have had fewer than 12...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I saw something about his later days. People can be pretty gross. But for me, dad warpiglet puppet is greenlit by the porcine being himself!
