    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    I hate Critical Role as much as the next guy...but what does this even mean?

    Hot take: get rid of the "balanced party" paradigm

    I must've been spoiled in my RPG upbringing, because this how I assumed all games were played.

    RPG Evolution: Game Cancelled, Now What?

    I can relate, for the most part... During COVID, I was one of those essential healthcare workers working double-shifts 6-7 days a week. But I did have enough time to read, see, and hear about other people having so much time on their hands to game. As things began to settle down and I was...

    Theater of the Mind and VTTs: Oh Brave New World...

    I'm old, so I get this and approve! WB0***

    Theater of the Mind and VTTs: Oh Brave New World...

    I'm in the same boat, as I have also spent my life playing TotM. I was able to successfully bring this to the VTT space. Like you had mentioned, I've used landscapes and dungeon scenes so the players weren't staring at a blank, white screen. If I felt something wasn't being communicated well...

    D&D General This and official D&D novels colored what D&D is for me.

    There is a photo that will eventually be made available to the world, if I ever decide to run for public office. It's of me sitting at my Commodore 128, wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt, mussed up hair, face covered in zits, a stack of tapes ("Weird Al", Led Zeppelin, and Iron Maiden), and playing...

    Level Up (A5E) Introduction with Starter Boxed Set

    Thank you! If I end up enjoying A5E, Memories of Holdenshire will be my next stop for getting into something more long-term. For now, it looks like I'll continue my search for a decent introductory one-shot.

    D&D (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

    I would definitely be on board with the DL Saga. I love running the original, but it's getting more and more difficult to find a group that's right for them.

    Watching films at the cinema - also, RIP David Lynch.

    The loss of David Lynch was definitely a punch to the gut. I was optimistic to believe that he would release something else like Duran Duran: Unstaged. I live in a rural community...the bowling alley closed, 3 bars (4 if you count Applebee's), 29 churches (no, really), and a 3-screen movie...

    D&D 5E Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    One of the shops I go to shrink-wrap their books, because they put an anti-theft tag inside the cover. Customers are also made aware that if you want to flip through the book all they have to do is bring it to the counter and the staff will remove the shrink-wrap and the customer can look at it...

    D&D 5E Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Judging by my own local gaming community, I have yet to see a physical 5.5 book. There are a few groups that are mid-campaign, and they're waiting to see what they're in the mood for when they're finished. Some groups don't feel it's necessary to "upgrade". And, finally, there are quite a few...

    D&D 5E Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    What if I had owned an earlier model of Car B? On top of that, I had also seen a demonstration of the new model of Car B. I think that would be enough information to make a decision.

    D&D General DDB style site for Older Editions

    Aha! Thank you. The way people talk about DDB I was kinda expecting more. It would be neat if they supported older editions. I'm sure the impact would be negligible, but it would bring some new traffic to their site. I would definitely support a site that did this sort of thing.

    D&D General DDB style site for Older Editions

    My knee-jerk reaction when I read this was "Yeah, that would be cool". Then I started thinking about it...what would this older edition DDB site do? I have been to DDB, but I don't understand what it's used for outside of the forums.

    D&D 5E Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    Just sticking with my 2014 core...PHB, DMG, MM. I still haven't seen or heard anything about 2024 that I feel is an improvement.

    D&D 5E Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Is that lollipop made with the same quality as the content in their books? If so, then diabetes would be the least of my concerns.

    D&D (2024) I am so torn [UPDATE: I bought it]

    I totally understand the owning each edition mindset. I never got 3.5, because it wasn't a new edition and I didn't need it for my style of play. For myself, 5.24 is in the same boat...not a new edition and definitely not necessary for my style of play. If you are someone who needs to...

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    It isn't called the Player's Rulebook or Dungeon Master's Rulebook. They are handbooks and guides. Those names were intentionally chosen.

    D&D General Hasbro enters gambling deal using Dungeons & Dragons intellectual property

    This bugs me more than I think it should. I have seen physical slot machines themed around other Hasbro games, so why not online D&D slots? I'm not a fan of what they have been doing with D&D, but I just shrug my shoulders and play the many other games I do enjoy. I wanted to be naive and...
