    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    I do agree with you it should be possible; for some reason d&d seems to do well when the movie/ show focuses on the players not the actual story i.e. IT crowd, stranger things and the big bang theory (although I am reluctant to include some of these because they are a poor example of what a game...

    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    Issue may be that d&d lends so much from other fantasy settings that a movie would just be generic. Also d&d's strength is its weakness, everyone is the hero in their story; sounds awful but a lot of the time I get bored listening to peoples d&d stories in real world conversations, I don't doubt...

    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    As for D&D sometimes less is more and I would argue that there is enough content (outside of campaign books) to satisfy most peoples needs. We are entering a point of saturation in subclasses, although more feats could be welcome if done right (thinking of the recent chef feat)

    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    Might be for the best. With mtg at least Hasbro seems to really want to push sales to unfeasible targets which could be damaging MTG long term.

    D&D 5E Was the Rune Knight (in Tasha's) "over-nerfed"?

    I find it odd that a lot of people are saying the rune knight has been nerfed (except for the fact you need to be level 7 to access storm and hill rune; seems fair to stop level dipping and preventing things like a rogue having a minute straight of sneak attack through advantage) In fact a lot...

    Level Up (A5E) The Advanced Fighter

    It's a bit subjective saying that they don't work, it's not been an issue on my end at least and I play fighters consistently. Personally if there are any rule adaptions I would like to see spell casters with less spells and a restricted spell list removing game breaking elements; some of the...

    Do you prefer your character to be connected or unconnected to the adventure hook?

    Actually now that you mention it, I have never played a character that is hooked to the adventure. Not due to preference, but most likely due to the fact the DM never tells me what a campaign is about when I am about to start an adventure. Personally I feel my characters tend to be like Han...

    Besides D&D, what are you playing?

    Nothing. Including d&d. Too busy key working and doing over-time

    Level Up (A5E) The Advanced Fighter

    Perhaps second wind should have the added ability to once a long rest, reset all the short rest features (perhaps the long rest features for clavier and samurai)?

    Worlds of Design: Is Combat Now Passe?

    I have gone through a range of phases often based on my own level of maturity (or lack of) and to be honest group expectations Beginner= Murder hobo, always starting fights and not caring about story RP. I was a reluctant participant to the game as I was more into my sports and martial arts so...

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    But Gollum actually remained evil and would have never been allowed to join if Samwise had his way. Frodo had empathy for Gollum as he understood how the ring was twisting his own soul and it could be argued he wanted Gollum to be saved as a reassurance that there remained hope for himself. Of...

    D&D 5E Are some cultures ("races") predisposed to violence?

    To be honest your post highlights why alignments for races should be removed. By your logic this is behaviour which is taught over generations and a belief system and therefore a race can not be inherently evil, just led astray. Whereas my argument would be can a race of humanoid not be twisted...

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    Fair point. I wonder if the message was removed because the context/ debrief was off-putting or if it was removed because the owners did not want it highlighted that they have the monopoly on that type of gaming system? Questions for later

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    So to you a morale/educational goal is more important than a mechanical design? Forgive me if I am reading that wrong

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    XD I can relate to this. Starting off violent because you are just trying to get knowledgeable on the mechanics (got to cut the new DM some slack as well), then getting all creative and becoming bit of a hipster with all these wild concepts and trying to be the "wild" one of the group and then...

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    And how many 7 year olds realistically stopped to consider that? Regardless of intent, the reality is people will focus on winning within a game and not many will be looking for a philosophy lesson.
