    D&D (2024) Quotes from the Monster Manual

    I love the quotes and trying to track some of them down to their original mentions/sources. I also enjoyed the Motorhead Easter Egg for the Azer.

    D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    I'm playing in two groups and DMing another. One group I play in is doing 2024 only, another is doing a hybrid. The game I DM we are keeping 2014 for the foreseeable future. We'll see what happens but truth be told I'm not excited enough to start reworking my campaign world and with limited time...

    For those who have embraced new systems/games, what was the deciding factor?

    I chose other. I always enjoyed other systems just like I enjoy a variety of board games, video games, genres of book, movies, etc.

    How open are you to trying new systems?

    I've always mixed it up and am willing to try almost any system and genre. One system would drive me crazy. Plus, to me a lot of TTRPGs are about who you play with more so than the system. Variety also keeps the burnout from setting in IMO. My core group is about 50/50, half will only play...

    Twitter Alternatives and Social Media Changes

    Never had Twitter. I run a marketing and branding agency and had to do some client social media posting but that stopped shortly after he acquired Twitter. My clients all bailed.

    The Last Potato Salad at the Outdoor BBQ- Thoughts on Spoilers

    Potato Salad with Raisins Medium aberration, Neutral Bad The Potato Salad with Raisins is an inexplicable monstrosity born from culinary hubris. A revolting blend of poorly cooked potatoes, too much mayonnaise, and the audacity of raisins, this creature exudes an aura of discomfort and regret...

    Presentation and Rules Are Different Things

    Anything by Palladium. In all fairness though, maybe they've improved since the 90s. Sadly once you do get past the presentation you also learn their mechanics are terrible.

    Ideas for a new game in the D&D genre

    I love Shadow of the Demon Lord and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I think both do a good job of the character class/sub class thing as you level up. I feel if characters like the character development process of D&D/PF both games offer that in spades. I'm also a huge Schwalb fan so I am biased.
