I know people like to crap on the SCAG, but it’s a pretty great and interesting book If you don’t already know everything about the Sword Coast. It may not be what DM book buyers wanted, but for what it’s advertised to be, a player facing book about the Sword Coast, it’s pretty great. Lots of...

Uh, no. You don’t retain the benefits of an invocation if you no longer have it. To be fair to the player, this one is phrased differently, “you gain” rather than say “can“ or “have”. But that’s player trading on semantics, it‘s not a unique invocation who‘s benefits you retain after you give...

Yes, it’s not more complicated because pretty much everyone has already decided what subclass they’re eventually gonna pick anyway. I’d solve the one level dip multi-class issue by simply denying subclasses to whatever your secondary class is.

I don’t comment on non-D&D because I have nothing to add, and there’s nothing to discuss, for me. And, as pointed out, there’s no discussion/comments, so there’s nothing to revisit (and give more views) to see the discussion. Whereas stuff that allows more people to give their hot takes...

I would do something about great class features being so level gated…like I have a player excited to play a fiend warlock so he gets hurl through hell. Which, yeah great for you in two forking years when we make it to 14th level and you do once and then we conclude campaign.

most Genre fiction is ideally suited to play in the background while you clean your house or something. Get the books on tape free from local library.

Sounds like a great idea for a retirement community.

No poll cause I assume the answers will be wildly different. I do about 2-3 hrs a week DMing a game. One hour prepping it specifically. 2 hours browsing my owned books for fun and inspiration. 3 hours on forums discussing or reading about how I spend my time. 3 hours dreaming about TTRPGs...

It’s WAY easier to publish now than ever before. It’s way easier to get it out in print now too, PoD wasn’t a thing in the 90’s, then it was buddy who worked graves at Kinkos If you wanted to print your idea. That’s why today we have the golden age of TTRPGs, systems galore, affordable art...

Is it though, stifling the marketplace? There seems to be an abundance of alternative systems being produced, and more kickstarted every week. Seems a golden age for production of TTRPGs. Getting people to play them with you might be a challenge, but getting a new system every week doesn’t...

This feels like, and is sized for a mount on your 4ft bong, you slide the shaft over the left hand under the right, probably could have modeled it better for that purpose though. Like one of those pencil things for kids, but for a bong. Mostly it’s a boring ass shelf queen. I’d be embarrassed...

Uh the only reason anyone extends a deadline is to get more responses, so they have less than desired. You can imagine other things.

I feel like you and @EzekielRaiden both assumed I, or most people, conflate popular and high degree of satisfaction. I didn’t, though I would assume someone who keeps playing fighters has a high degree of satisfaction with them, though you do point out how, actually, that might not be true. I...

Is it a problem if a race/class is popular, with a high degree of satisfaction, but mechanically weaker than less popular options? Making the cool race/class more mechanically equal will result in it being even more popular and over-represented.

Then run whatever you feel like running from your books. Whatever you’re excited about. As DM you being interested will infect the players. The starter sets recommended here are more for new DMs than new players….except, both, and especially DoIP, have more scenarios that conclude after a...

How about an indefinite suspension, something less irrevocable.

Legendary Games is doing a Kickstarter for a book that’s been out for a couple years and you can currently buy on their website. Kickstarter introduces nothing new. Or am I missing something? Maybe more systems?

Right, but when they face someone with 55 max damage? Doesn’t seem unlikely at level 8. I feel like we’re talking about different things. Also Starting to feel like a thread Jack, sorry. In battle healing needs some sort of improvement to make it a more useful part of the action economy...

I guess, for my thing group size doesn’t matter. And not talking about downed PCs. I’m just bringing up the scenario of being a 25hp guy facing a group of baddies that includes a 27 max damage enemy. Heal that guy to 1 hp and he takes the 27 damage and he’s gone for good, no saves. Would...

I feel like the starter set(s) do a pretty decent job of teaching that there’s a lot of rules but half assing it is ok. The transition from a 30 page book to the 1k page 3 book set needs work. Honestly, this is where they could do something amazing with DMs guild. Imagine if paying for say a...
