    D&D (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    It's a single spell that opens up a ton of possibilities for players and GMs alike. I'm not seeing how eliminating it to add one different spell is going to add an equal amount of value. And, for what it's worth, my campaign is exactly focused o what the players want to do. If they decided...

    D&D (2024) Am I crazy, or did they just turn Stealth into full Ninja mode?

    With those rules it seems like you can't do a classic backstab. You would become unhidden as soon as you step from behind your cover. Melee rogues should have a basic ability to sneak attack solo.

    D&D (2024) Am I crazy, or did they just turn Stealth into full Ninja mode?

    I'm a nearing 50 overweight lifetime nerd and I am constantly scaring the crap out of people because they can't hear me walking up behind them. I'm not even trying to be sneaky, I'm just a quiet walker 15 is way too high a baseline.

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Since I've said something along the lines of what you are saying has been said I'd like to clarify. Products SHOULD remain available, not must remain available. There is a subtle but distinct difference between the two. WotC SHOULD keep offering their electronic catalog but it's not a hard...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    I don't mind if George Lucas wants to release a SW Special Edition with 1000 minor tweaks, but I still want access to the SW trilogy I grew up watching. Lapti Nek FTW

    D&D (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    All I saw in play was the druid turning into a bear with a lot of HP who got immediately manhandled because they had an AC of 11 (12 when they could upsize to polar). The druid was not tanky at all, because the enemies never missed them like they did the AC18 paladin.

    When you post a + thread, do you prefer (+) or [+] or what?

    I vote -(-). This thread is the real deal! These are the hard hitting topics we need to discuss for our hobby in 2023.

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Sure, but if you can get GAZ1 through GAZ9, and GAZ11 through GAZ 20 it's not quite the same as just falling out of print due to not being profitable.

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    How about this. We can go back and forth giving examples of how sensitive elements have been treated by businesses (you showing how they repackage them as learning opportunities at cost and me showing how they just get rid of them to avoid complaints) and whoever runs out of examples first is...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    I'm certainly not talking about any particular action or choice , I'm just illustrating how the word censor might mean different things to different people and trying to bridge an understanding. To bring it back to the OP of this thread ... I personally believe that if this petition were...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Question to you about your definitions of censorship. [This is not related to the topic of GAZ10, it is not implying any one position in that debate] Let's say the League of Outraged Bowlers represented 10% of the bowlers in a given area. The LoOB absolutely hates turquoise bowling balls...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Do you realize how many signatures you could have drummed up for the petition you are supporting had you not wasted all of your effort here? If you think it's important, go fight for the cause.

    Are the Million-dollar Kickstarters slowing down?

    On the boardgame side...a lot of the chickens of COVID are coming home to roost. Multiple Kickstarters are semi-fulfilled and are stuck at distribution partners awaiting payment from the gaming company that doesn't have funds to send. I am currently waiting on a copy of Fief:France. The...

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    I've really come around to see the good trilogy that I feel is hidden in the prequel movies. The base storyline should have been (and kind of was?) the gradual decline of Anakin into the dark side. This decline starts when he left his mom (a slave) at a young age to learn to be a Jedi. The...

    TTRPGs: broken mechanics vs. abusive players

    Of course this discussion is fixated on combat, HP/SDC/MDC are combat related statistics. Would you run a 5e game where fighters got a weapon that did 6d100 damage at 1st level?

    TTRPGs: broken mechanics vs. abusive players

    I can't speak to Robotech as I've never played it. My issue with MDC in Rifts is that it's possible for one starting character to have a pistol attack that does 1-6 damage while a different party member with a different pistol is doing 100-600. The problem is there are MDC personal items like...

    I'm always hoping I can find a copy of that when I'm Thrist Store shopping. When I hear the song "Spoonman" it always makes me think of this game andy favorite prisoner.

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    I voted for 8 and 9. I didn't mind that 7 was a retelling of 4 because I recognize it needed to get a lot of younger people invested in the SW universe. Then 8 came out which I assumed was a continuation of 7 (that's how trilogies work!) But instead it was just a completely different story...
