^^^ THIS I do like the unpredictability of rolling die, and it makes for some really interesting character stats that I probably wouldn't have chosen if I was doing a point buy. And -- it's really fun to roll those stats into actual character traits; my warlock gnome with an 8 Dex was...

I'm having a prevailing problem in a 5e game I'm playing in, and I'm hoping that some of you might have some suggestions on how best to resolve/mitigate this issue going forward. Our Saturday game has a problem in combat. And I'm not sure what exactly the issue is -- several of us play in a 5e...

I understand this is frustrating, but I do encourage you to have some empathy for your players. There were a few weeks this year where my depression was so bad that by Friday (when our in-person 2e game was running), I could barely manage the drive home from work, let alone the drive to the game...

I'm really sorry you live in a place like that. :(

The thing is... gay people exist. They don't ask permission to exist, they just do. And sure, this is a gay character and not a gay person, but it seems like you're making an ideological statement yourself by expecting people to ask permission to play queer characters in your game. Do you ask...

I'm genuinely trying to understand you, so if any of these questions seems stupid, please know I'm being earnest when I ask them. Why does intent matter here? Is there a problem because he's talking about it? How would you be able to determine if a character was created to make an ideological...

How do you determine whether or not a gay dude was included to make a point?

I'm a little confused -- hopefully someone can clear this up for me. Are people arguing that including LGBT themes/characters is propaganda? If so, is including heterosexual themes/characters also propaganda? Please advise.

I play in two 5e games a week -- one on Thursday nights, and one on Saturday afternoons. We've missed very surprisingly few sessions, and usually when it happens, another DM subs in for our regular one; the only time we cancel-cancel is when several players aren't able to make it. Playing...

I'm absolutely in support of increased diversity in DnD. Half of our gaming group is queer and about half of us play queer characters, or have characters with queer parents. That said: my firbolg paladin was pleasantly surprised when she met the queer couple in SKT and was asked to help...

Thanks for the heads up -- this was really helpful. One of the DMs who runs for me is way over her head with STK for this same reason -- there's no real direction for the players (at least where we are right now), so she doesn't know what to prepare for -- and so, she prepares for everything...

I would be extremely interested in this if you decide to do this! Please let me know if you decide to give this a go and I'll make time to be there. -- To everyone else: I'm not the OP, but I appreciate the recommendations here; I was looking for a new DM thread. I'm not a newbie player (and...

I'm playing my first 5e rogue now (actually, my first rogue ever -- and I've been playing D&D for well over a decade), and all the talk of rogues petering out around mid-levels has me a little nervous. I'm playing a human dual-wielder (rapier, dagger) rogue, swashbuckler archetype with a 20 DEX...
