    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    If we're counting dice, it was 17 seven-die polyhedral sets and 3 twelve-die d6 blocks. Eleven of the seven-die sets are reward for sticking with my health plan for the last four or five months, the rest were a new primary set with nicer dice as an early birthday present to myself. In terms of...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    We were not talking about criminal acts and we were not talking about sexual assault. We were talking about sexual harassment. But nice try to move the goal posts to justify your justification of sexual harassment.

    D&D General The Resurrection of Mike Mearls Games.

    I've been trying to move away from multiple checks in order to keep the probabilities clear. Now, you're not quite doing the 5E group stealth check, but you are doing something very similar. And 5E group checks are basically rolling with advantage. Take a group check with two people with the...

    D&D General The Resurrection of Mike Mearls Games.

    Color me confused. It seems odd that progress is different from distance climbed. Now, progress matters in terms of who wins each round, but it's not clear to me what winning even means in the example given.

    How do we reflect on our sessions after playing / running?

    I am often running up against players needing to get to bed so they can get to work in the morning, so we have time to talk after session only here and there. I always do a review of session, but that's more focused on "how could I have run the session better?" Based on that I may make a comment...

    Technology is not the problem, protecting creators is

    We're not going to get that, because that would be expensive, and AI is being looked at for cheap solutions. Furthermore, that doesn't solve bias problems. Just because you are paying for your training sets doesn't mean your training sets aren't biased. A programmer can do that. But will a...

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    People keep saying D&D is dead. But really, it's at 0 hit points, it has five chances to make three death saves, which it gets a +4 bonus to because there's a paladin within 10 feet, and there's a cleric with healing word, spare the dying, and raise dead prepared who is rushing over to help.

    D&D General The Resurrection of Mike Mearls Games.

    I've always thought of failure at lock picking as "You need to go find the key."

    D&D General Maps, Maps, Maps! Dungeons, Ruins, Caverns, Temples, and more... aka Where Dyson Dumps His Maps.

    I thought nice DMs had them open out of the room so that you could take the hinges off if you couldn't pick the lock.

    I don't know. Running skill challenges as a game of Yahtzee might work.

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    A couple years ago I had a secret society in my game based on the song The True Wheel by Brian Eno. It's something I've wanted to do since high school.

    A couple of the restaurants I like play local radio. And after Thanksgiving, all it plays is Christmas music. I thought I was going to go insane.
