    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Depends on the players, I've had ones that are quite easily distracted, and will pivot to next thing that takes their interest. Like doing a sci fi game, where pretended to be in a band to get to something, but then really enjoyed band experience so shortly afterwards looked at whether could...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    But does that assume they stay the course, and don't opt to do something else once find out where portal is or once get to Nexus? They may opt to never go on the Spell jammer?

    D&D General Sandbox and/or/vs Linear campaigns

    For me to contrast what I feel is a sandbox campaign to one that isn't: Shadow of a Dark Queen (ran through recently and we enjoyed it) - heading towards full on railroad, start off traveling to a village for given reasons, if cleric or arcane spellcsster in party have a couple of interludes...

    2d20 Heroes of Might and Magic RPG from Ubisoft and Modiphius

    Will need to dig into the quickstarter to get good feel of it, though helps ive used the 2d20 system before. Interestingly I kept getting tripped up and confusing the setting with the setting from the Warlords setting (where is the Sirian and Orcs of Kor flags?) But on plus side i think the...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    See, it is bits like this that feel to me that you are coming across as confrontational, and ignoring anything people are telling you, but you then complain that others are confrontational when using statements similar to yours. Sandbox as a term isn't pretentious, it is a way of describing a...

    OGL, ORC, CC or?...

    I believe Mamba is talking about non enworld publishers- Morrus is releasing using all 3, which then allows us to see which of the 3 other 3pp use when releasing levelup material based on the level up SRDs.

    Let's play Bloodsword, book 3/5

    And I assume he does turn out to be the villain after all this?

    Dragonlance novels humble bundle

    Got notification about below bundle, I think is all the Weis and Hickman books up until the end of the Amber series, plus some others. Interested in what other think of the value of it. I have the first two trilogies on audible, listening to Dragons of Winter Night currently, so not much value...

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Not as extreme as reaction, but one of the few books I couldn't complete (most I don't enjoy it do at least try to finish first book or like before writing any more off by that author) due to getting angry with it. Ironically the bit that pushed too far was when the main protagonist, who was...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Yeah, it is a tough read a lot of the times for the bleak stuff that happens, and thr sexual violence gets worse over the series, with one part of book 9 particularly dark / tough. I still enjoyed the series as a whole, but unlike most Malazan fans I prefer Esslemonts novels in the world as feel...

    Just wondering if anyone aware of any updates on this? Is one I'm looking forward to.

    Cubicle 7 Announces New Horus Heresy RPG for Warhammer

    I think it might come down to just how high ranking they are. Plenty of examples of fragments of different legions working together due to various factors, and also have potential for loyalists from traitor legions and vice versa, but generally they were typically a couple of high ranking...

    Different philosophies concerning Rules Heavy and Rule Light RPGs.

    I think consistency is quite a key part of many RPGs, including DnD. Such that rolling weapon dice is consistent for a given character and weapon. That fireball will do certain d6 per level each time and in a set radius without metamagic or the like. I think most players would expect a certain...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I may have overstated opinions on OT sorry, when I reread what led to that I think I misinterpreted original statements in other thread referencing the OT , above par and low bars, that they weren't necessarily calling the OT below par / low bar, but some of the other movies / materials come out...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Thought here may be a better place than father derailing the other thread @Parmandur but for me TLJ wasn't a bad movie for me, and I quite enjoyed it at movie theater outside of not liking what happened with Luke (too wedded to the old expanded universe version I fear) , but later on reflection...

    On warning points...

    Just on this. I noticed today if I click on someone's profile I can see warning counts *(e.g. 5/5 or 7/11) - is it intentional that we can see others warning counts?
