The problem is that if he buys Hasbro and ruins D&D, it could tarnish the entire TTRPG hobby for newcomers. Anyone who hasn’t played tabletop RPGs before might avoid it entirely, associating it with his toxic reputation: the hobby of sexist, racist, backward-thinking individuals. This could...

The defensiveness is twofwold: 1. Don't slander my perfect flawless hero! You will get that in any Fangroup. From football clubs to popstars actors and authors. He can't do wrong. Those are the star struck superfans. More naive, but good hearted. 2. The other group is ... culture war group. In...

Yeah - for me it is mostly about what those people are doing now. So for example Gygax is dead, so I would never judge him to harshly, because no matter what, he will stay dead and not change his mind or his ways. That's why I also have no problem enjoying H.P. Lovecraft Stories or content. He...

Ah, hrm. Completely unrelated to current events, I want to open an Investment Company specialised in the entertainment and toy sector and looking for people who want to invest roughly 4,1 billion$ for a start. Anyone interested?

Hrm, who at Hasbro/WotC has the power in case of threat over a Company take over to Release everything (all of D&D and even Magic) into public Domain? Ah, but no matter - at least it would get me motivated to go back to create my own Creative Commens RPG - Chaos Commons! - with Black Magic and...

The problem with the 5e (and what I have seen 5.5e) economy is, that even the adventure economy is not explained. What is the purpose of a game economy? To facilitate adventure and offer verisimilitude. The discussion so far is more about realism vs. sumulatism of the game world. So more about...

You don't? ^^

My vision for D&D 6th Edition: Simulationist Mechanics and Enhanced Customization With strategic trades using leveraged options to short Hasbro’s stock, I project that by 2030, I could achieve billionaire status and acquire Wizards of the Coast from Hasbro. As a billionaire, I wouldn’t need...

Wow, this thread gave me a great homebrew idea. One of the 5e / 5.5e problems is that fighting one monster or 4 monsters with the same xp budget is not the same difficulty. Solo Monsters and Horde of Monsters are different and AOE Spells are only good against hordes, but weaker against solos...

The problem is, that it was one chart. So for example it is impossible to Show how mathematically the HP would have to be adjusted if you lower or raise the AC. So every CR 0 to CR 3 monster has AC 13 ... But 100HP with AC 13 is, from a challenge point of view the same as AC 10 with 133HP or AC...

The 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) offered us monster creation guidelines that, while not perfectly aligned with WotC's internal spreadsheet, have proven effective in my experience. That said, there’s certainly room for updates and refinement. I'm not particularly optimistic about seeing...

My reading and interpretation of 5e magic: There is RAW magic everywhere where there is life. Contact with RAW magic is not a good idea (like direct contact to a high voltage powerline). Then there is a Weave -an intermediate medium that can be used to access RAW magic safely. The Weave is...

I like the Idea of DCC magic, the misshaps, the chaos, I would read a novel about Wizards casting that. But has anybody here ever played a DCC Wizard? Because that sounds exhausting to play for longer games. But for magic - I would prefer for D&D more differentiated casting times and better...

A ranger in my mind is an outdoor survival and tracking expert. He knows his (favourite) terrain. So abilities in this regard. Additionally, she/he is very goodnight Bows. Fighting abilities more akin to monks instead of fighters. They should be able to commune with the nature, but not in a...

Yeah, but without an understanding of the rules, the changing of rules trough "rule 0" becomes ... random and the results are likely worse. Like, yeah, we can triple the sneak attack damage, bit that would likely lead to a game were nobody will have fun. Even the Rogue will stop having fun after...

Oh, yeah, the princess actress was like 15 during shooting. According to IMDB, It was her second film. Her first film was Ekstase, in which she goes full nude at 14. So Conan the Destroyer is actually an improvement.

I looked trough the cast. All named actress are at least over 21 when the movie came out.

Arnold was 35 in conan the barbarian and Sandahl Bergman 31.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Dragonstone of Doom Act 1: The Rise of Evil The film opens in the mystical realm of Eldoria, where the flamboyant sorcerer Malakar (Christopher Lee) and his duplicitous right-hand man Lord Varin (Alan Rickman) launch a dramatic assault on a sacred temple guarding the...

But the adventuring day is not ... Like ... the whole balance hinges on the adventuring day. Telling new DMs that is necessary. Leaving it out is ... just mean. "DMs, when 5e was created, we balanced the classes around 6 to 8 medium encounters or 3 deadly encounter between two long rests (or 2...
