Roll20 is what my friends and I have tried playing around with as a VTT and it works well. We're lucky enough that we don't usually need it though since we can typically meet in person. It's nice to have as a back up option however and to be familiar with it should we need to use it. For voice...

Add me to the list of folks who feel the lack of a "none" option along with the hyperbolic wording of the question makes this all seem a bit... off. I don't hate any of these. I'm not sure I'd even say I dislike any of them. Certainly, I like some more than others, but I'm not sure during any...

Sorry. I had to. With regards to the greater topic: I haven't found a D&D video game I've truly enjoyed since Neverwinter Nights. That makes the list only because online you could potentially find a server that got so close to feeling like an actual roleplaying game it was glorious. The video...

Other people have said, more or less, what I would already with a lot more words. So I'll pare it down to bone: If the difference between someone showing up or not showing up is the xp for their character, I'm not interested in whether or not they show up. I'm too old to try and incentivize a...

5e for me, no contest. Easier to pick up and run, easier to convert older material, etc. I've been able to improv entire sessions in the 5e system, that's an ease of use that I can't say I find many other places. I liked PF1 and appreciate PF2 for what it is, neither were/are bad games. I just...

These aren't for me, but I can't balk at the price either. In this golden age of nerdery, there's a market for high-end niche products. This isn't even that bad at the end of the day, considering it's meant to be a limited run collectors item. Dice are being made out of all kinds of materials...

I've skimmed enough of the thread to realize that other people have already held this opinion, so at least I don't have to be that guy, not that I mind being that guy... Anyway... Nothing. Nothing breaks my immersion. The way I look at it, the definition of immersion, at least as it's being...

Every episode, every week since they started. The game bears no serious resemblance to my own games, outside of the fact they're playing D&D, as we don't roleplay as much or to the extent the they do on the show, but all the same I've been hooked since the start. The characters are engaging...

As of right now it's showing at $7,055,104 which means in all likelihood it'll push past 7th Continent at some point later today and become the 9th most funded project ever. And man oh man am I eager to see the Briarwood arc in all its glory. I'm hoping they hit a point where they can finish...

I've been watching CR since the first episode of campaign 1 aired and its been an amazing phenomenon to see unfold over time. I started out not expecting to be especially interested in watching other people play, especially since their style was so different from what I see at my tables, but it...

Two groups. Six people each. One all guys, the other four guys and two women. I also find comments regarding bias in results because people might be judged for having an all male group bizarre. I mean the game has grown in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean people need to feel shame or fear...

This could be cool, glad they're going to try something a bit different. The backlash and people whinging about them not updating other settings first will be worth a laugh too. I look forward to seeing how this all plays out.

I like the idea of expending HD as a resource outside of using them during rests and I've also never been a fan of tracking negative hit points. So that said, something like this may be a tad over simplistic, but still provide some tension during combat: When a character is reduced to zero hit...

So is this the final, final word on balance in D&D or is there going to be one more final word after this one?

Sorcerer in both cases. I prefer playing characters with higher charisma and all the accompanying social skills, though on occasion it's fun playing the walking encyclopedia. Additionally, I just like the feel of being magical rather than simply studying it. It doesn't hurt that I'm of...

I'm fairly laid back about this sort of thing, to the point where it seems like pming might have an embolism. ;) When the players/characters tell me they're "headed north" or something similar I ask myself two questions: First, are there any extenuating circumstances that would prevent them...

The rule works as intended and I quite like it, there's nothing that needs fixing. The poll seems to bear that out... Anyway, do what you think is best for your game, but this is one rule I personally wouldn't tinker with.

So I usually read an entire thread before posting, you never know who's going to have already touched on a point you want to make or said something you'd like to address outside of the OP... but then I realized this was essentially eight pages of people going back & forth about the Warlord and...

Simply to play more. D&D, or all tabletop rpgs in general really, have always come in fits and starts. I'd like to see that change if at all possible. Other than that? Maybe get a chance to try a different game. I've got a library of rpg games, mostly because I just enjoy reading the rulebooks...
