    D&D General Why does D&D still have 16th to 20th level?

    Well it's a good thing the developers don't share your opinion or experience. Just because YOU find the material of no use doesn't mean that the rest of us don't. Personally I'd rather have it included in the PHB than tucked away in another book. Makes it easier for me to access when I want...

    What's your favorite superhero TTRPG and why?

    I guess the closest it'd come would be Marvel Superheroes (advanced) by TSR. At least that's the one I've had the most fun with over the years. But honestly I don't think I've found a favorite yet.

    What counts as a detailed enough, permissible action declaration?

    When I understand what you intend.

    D&D General Weird: Do you introduce weird elements in your campaigns?

    Oh yes. It's not a constant barrage of weird, but it could crop up at any point. For ex; in the previous campaign (well I guess it be the campaign before the previous one at this point:)) I dropped a WWI British MKIV tank into the game. Literally. A portal in the sky opened. Something came...

    D&D General Gods: What role do they play in your campaigns?

    They're there. They're important culturally & as the source of power for certain followers (clerics, paladins, etc). I suppose they're technically NPCS..... And of course there's all sorts of myths & tales of them directly interacting in mortal affairs. But in reality? Playwise? The closest...

    Rank your Treks!

    I don't? Hmm, let me consider that for a moment.... Nope, I think there's room for improvement, but I've liked most of it so far.

    D&D General Dragons: What role do they play in your campaigns?

    It varies wildly. Recently: In my last campaign dragons played..... zero role. The party only met two. *Fairly early on they defeated the White dragon that had moved into the Phandalian area. It was mostly a fight with a dumb brute. They were supposed to learn that something was going on with...

    D&D 5E Do You Tinker with Adventures to Make Them "Winnable"?

    My players would've asked me "What are the walls made out of?" Failing to mine through the walls.... If there was any space under the door? They'd light a fire & set up a bellows system to smoke her out. Ok, so the thing can't be hurt. Is it immune to grapple? Being tied up? And then being...

    D&D 5E If you're buying Strixhaven, will it to be to run a campaign there, or as a crunch sourcebook?

    If we go the Pirate route I'll most likely be using the PF AP "Skull & Shackles". I ran it about 10(?) years ago, have all the minis, ship maps, & most importantly all my notes from back then. So a good deal of prep has been already been done. :) It just needs dusting off. But I never run...

    D&D 5E If you're buying Strixhaven, will it to be to run a campaign there, or as a crunch sourcebook?

    Obviously if I pick this up I'll mine it for crunch/ideas. But I do that with everything so.... Wether or not I use it as a setting.? {shrugs} We'll have to see what it inspires. If it does though I doubt very much it'll be used right away as I'll likely be running either a Theros/Greek...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    So all those adds for NZ travel I see on TV aren't working? I stream all the CW Arrowverse superhero shows as one big 3-4hr block each week from their site. It's free, but comes with adds. I see NZ travel commercials at least once/episode, & often several.

    D&D General How many hours of D&D would you say you have played in your entire life?

    That's only a bit over 2 years total time. :)

    D&D General How many hours of D&D would you say you have played in your entire life?

    Well, I started playing D&D Christmas 1980..... *We played a helluva lot of D&D, then other other stuff, 1980-'85 - but no set days/times/session lengths. And then there'd be chunks of time we didn't play at all. So I can't really estimate this period. But it was still ALOT. And last year...

    D&D General Did you get your start playing D&D, and what do you play now?

    Along with my brother & cousin I started completely cold (none of us had any RPG xp & no one to teach us - but being kids of average intelligence + literate....) with Basic over Christmas break 1980. Then about a year later things blurred into 1e. After that we tried all sorts of stuff through...

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    After observing my 5e group for the better part of 4 years.... *1 player - Definitely. Even when she knows the campaign is a finite one-shot. She has added stuff to the world through her characters. *2nd player - He'll tell you he does. And he's very knowledgeable & stuck on the FR. But...

    D&D 5E New WotC Survey! Learn About A New D&D Product!

    Same here. *A bunch of "How satisfied are you with _____ racial traits" & some basic stuff about what's advantage etc. *One of the questions was if I'd ever used the D&D Discord. Answered "No" - and then got asked how it could be improved. ?? How in the world would I know? I've never used it...

    D&D General My Problem(s) With Halflings, and How To Create Engaging/Interesting Fantasy Races

    This is not unique to my 1/2ling characters though. Or even to D&D characters in general. Books, movies, comics, plays, RPGS, cmputer games, myth/legends, religion.... Interesting stuff happens to ALL protagonists to get the stories rolling. * Know this: Whatever you consider barbarian rage...
