Thank you for reviving this thread. I bought this awhile back with the intention of running it. Ended up not being able to get a good group together for it, then I eventually abandoned 5e. I'm inspired to try to find a group again, and run RotD.

This is what hit me most of all. It wasn't so much that it happened, but who it happened to. I have rolled dice, had drinks, and had silly conversations with a number of those people. It felt like running into a friend who tells you that they were let go and your only response is "But I thought...

Someone sees the "D&D" logo somewhere (someone's socks, on the cover of some Mad Libs, a deck of cards, YouTube, Twitch, Steam, etc.) and realizes that this is the trendy new thing everyone is talking about. They want to be trendy and cool, too. It's the flannel shirt tied around the waist, or...

WotC's ability to shove their brand down throats. It's almost as bad as Star Wars.

I found the taste-test analogy accurate towards my experience with 5e. I started running 5e using the Adventurers League to help a couple of stores promote D&D and at conventions. Then I moved on to running one-shots in a friend's West Marches game. During that time I was also running the...

Done. Criminal activity at store.

To be fair, it's a video about D&D. If you want to talk about and play D&D with the folks who were there, go to Gary Con. If you want to absolutely anything else, go to GenCon.

I agree with DarthPanic. I didn't feel like I had learned anything or had become enlightened to a different point of view. I would consider "The Dreams in Gary's Basement" to be more of what a D&D documentary should be.

I guess it depends on how the feedback is being requested. If the DM is just saying "So, how did I do?" then it might be hard to offer any sort of constructive criticism. If instead it's something like "Those scenes in town seemed a little off to me. What did you think?" then the ball could...

I have tried to run PHB-only campaigns, and the players have failed me each time. Before we begin character creation, I hold up a physical copy of the 5e D&D Player's Handbook and announce "This is the only book you can use." Without fail one or two players will try to sneak something in from...
