Yes, it still is. It remains magnitudes more popular than its nearest competitor. When WoW drops to two million subs sometime in the next few years, it'll be a fifth the size it was, and still be killing everyone else. It was also the first price hike in ten years.

Here!

For those of us who...I'm trying to think of a better word than "suck"...it would be nice to see how the various tools come together to make maps of the quality people are throwing together on this page. :)

Smart site, and the sample posted above looks excellent. However, needs tutorials. :)

Apart from the fact that the "Media" menu should be renamed "Downloads", I actually think it's okay.

This is exactly my opinion on the subject. I'm not after specific monsters, just page after page of inspirational cool stuff.

It loses value significantly when players don't have to declare their actions before rolling initiative. Why would you charge at a defender set to receive you? You wouldn't, you'll charge at someone else. As a defensive measure, it works, in that you weren't charged, but it cost your whole...

I really wouldn't have any interest in running a game for such a player. The mystery is not only ruined for him, but by his overly-informed actions, he's changing the outcome of the module for everyone else as well. No. He'd be gone, sharpish.

That had me guffawing as well. :)

D&D still has its market in the face of competition from incredibly rich game experiences. The gulf between video games and TTRPG's, and video-games with VR and TTRPG's, is not so huge. VR dramatically increases immersion, but until software can generate realistic human interaction on the fly...

Fair point. I made a bad assumption there. On the general issue though, I still disagree.

Are you absolutely sure about that, KM? It seems to me that nerd-rage is constant flow: it just gets directed at whatever is convenient.

I struggle to empathize with the poster you quoted. I assume he must have players lining up around the block for a seat at his table, if he can afford to dump friends from the game for being too quiet, so on the bright side he should never have to suffer such awful people for long.

I'm operating on the assumption that everything you've said is faithful to what happened. People like this just suck the joy out of roleplaying. I've been there. You can't ever lose yourself in the game because they're constantly bitching, questioning, or disagreeing with the DM. Every...

Yes, this has been noted as an oddity before. It kind of works if you look at construction as a sunk cost where you anticipate how many days your character will be available to supervise across the entire construction time ("Let's assume we're available 50% of the time over the next six...

Oops! Sorry about that. Now repaired.

12. A wounded owlbear crashes out of the undergrowth in terror. 13. A sinkhole has bisected the road ahead; a broken wagon teeters on the brink.

Rejik grabs the halfling by the shoulder and bends down to look him in the eye. "Consider it done." Then, with a smile, he claps him on the back. "You're of much more use to me with just the two legs and all of your fingers intact." Anyone paying attention might notice that Rejik sticks closer...

Rejik spots the giant centipede, and snorts out a laugh as the scroll goes up in flames.

Rejik peeks in from outside. "What's going on? Where's Swift?"
