We use Discord as primary, Zoom as secondary. For video we prefer Zoom, but if it's primary audio we find Discord is easiest.

It's...fine? Not enough for me to feel the need to go buy this at the FLGS

Have people found the Study and Search actions to come up enough to justify that change?

When my Cleric got a 19 strength unexpectedly it was funny, and sometimes useful, but usually just an RP thing. He wasn't built to use strength so it just didn't come up very often. He could grapple like the dickens though!

I am finding the new game is very sensitive to adventuring day length. If you're having one combat per day, a lot of items seem overpowered. For example, if you have armor that can cast the Shield spell with d6 charges times a day, that's overpowered for a single combat each day because it's...

In actual use I've repeatedly heard Counterspell remains a good spell. Very little changed about cantrips?

Right but that would be a houserule. Nothing wrong with a houserule but I think there is a way for WOTC to fix it with a new spell which doesn't mess with their prior design integrity.

I think there is a solution for the Ranger Hunter's Mark that doesn't require changing the Ranger class itself. Major Hunter's Mark Does the same thing as Hunter's Mark, but is a level 3 spell [so comes online at level 9], has no concentration, and gives you a choice of an add-on for when you...

So disappointed there is no Wizard (Necromancer) subclass announced for this. Wizard had, I think, the most number of subclasses removed between the 2014 and 2024 PHB, and when given the opportunity to finally put one of them back in they put two Warlock subclasses in instead, AND an Artificer...

I am characterizing Williams as an unethical businessperson during that brief window when she effectively took over the company (and for a few other decisions well after all this which hasn't been discussed in this thread). I am characterizing Gary Gygax as both an unethical businessperson and...

That's not what I wrote on that part of the topic however. I wrote extensively why my view isn't based on the inchoate dislike towards her, isn't based on rumor over years, but is based directly on specific events in the podcast where she does bad things. I then also wrote about alternatives...

I said repeatedly I think gary is worse. You repeatedly quoted posts of mine where in those posts I say I think Gary is worse. I then directly wrote to you saying that comparing Williams to Gary isn't the point, that Gary was worse relative to Williams but the standard for being "good" isn't...

Here is the link from the first post. That's what triggered Snarf to make this thread. Note the comment I was replying to. If Snarf is accepting of criticism of Williams, I have yet to see it. Every response I've ever seen from him on the topic is either dismissive, or worse.

If you make an object which you're moving out from, attacking, and then ducking back behind, you shouldn't face the issue of the illusion being exposed from return fire. If they can't see you, they can't target you well nor see if you're hit or not. They're not going to try and shoot through a...

Fair point and thanks for asking. Been a rough few weeks. Getting better but yes, short fuse lately. Sorry about that. Will endeavor to lighten the tone.

I am not in any way asking him to hate Williams. I pointed out in the other thread some serious failings of Williams with direct reasons. Snarf then quoted that post by linking to it, then ranted about Revisionist History and how people get stuck thinking something based on rumored conventional...

Because the post you linked to of mine, without direct reference, was about the podcast. Which you knew, because you had just linked to it without replying to it to start this thread, remember? Saying "see the record" without linking to the record or referencing a specific part of it isn't a...

I agree non-legendary creatures can absolutely be a solo threat to a party. It's more difficult to pull off but it can be done and your example is a good one. I'd say flight, or some other meaningful distance or barrier between the party and the foe, is pretty important to pull this off. The...

You mistook my saying you stated falsehoods with my calling you a liar. I don't think you're a liar. I think you believe falsehoods because of the extreme bias I mentioned which you have in favor of Williams. Which I found ironic given your essay on Revisionist History, and your unwillingness to...
