    Monty Python RPG designer AMA tomorrow

    If some of the questions aren't "What is yer name?" "What is yer quest?" "What is yer favorite color?" I am going to be very disappointed

    D&D (2024) DM's no longer getting crits on PC's

    Random die rolls are sort of why the dice are there.

    D&D (2024) DM's no longer getting crits on PC's

    If the PCs don't want to potentially get splatted by monsters, maybe they shouldn't be fighting the monsters.

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    Adding Dexterity modifier to ranged weapon damage. Abomination.

    D&D General "I make a perception check."

    Its real simple. Perception covers "big picture" or "at-a-glance" impressions of the place/situation. If the PC passes, then "Something [looks/feels] off." If they don't, then nothing appears out of the ordinary or jumps out at them in terms of demanding further attention.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Cinematic Universe. What would it be like? What do you want to see?

    I didn't say all the movies would be the same story. That's the point of each game world: You can tell a very different story, emphasizing each world's 'niche.' "Against the Giants" is very different from "Ravenloft," which is different from "Isle of Dread," which is different from "Dragons of...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Cinematic Universe. What would it be like? What do you want to see?

    A movie set in each game world, wherein the heroes find a piece of the Rod of Seven Parts, whether it is their actual quest, or just a background treasure piece. Worlds-spanning, plane-hopping hijinks ensue as the various hero groups scramble to keep the assembled artifact out of the hands of...

    D&D General Adventure Prologues

    Bond-ian prologue: "Roll for initiative!" I can see merit in the idea. It could potentially spoil parts of the adventure later on... but then again, you could use meta-expectations against the players by changing up certain reveals, or tweaking a plot twist to, say, go left where it was...

    D&D General What did you think of the Stranger Things D&D game?

    My wife worked with a woman surnamed "Zocchi," who found it amusing that my wife knew she was related to "The Colonel" due to a D&D geek husband (me).

    What's your favorite dice system?

    I'm a big fan of Alternity's control die +/- situation die-step, roll-under mechanic. I also love Free League's Year Zero engine, seeing how each new game tunes the bane/push mechanic to evoke the overall theme/mood.

    D&D General Worst D&D advice

    ... why would they need to speak to the NPCs? (See post #13 above)

    D&D 5E Are ranged attacks too good in 5e?

    I'm still irked about the whole "add your Dex mod to damage" that ranged weapons get in 5e.

    I saw a Ghostbuster and it was good (spoilers)

    Spider Man: Homecoming's post-credit stinger was the best:
