    D&D 5E (2024) 3,000 Player's Handbooks Available At Gen Con

    How so? It is more then an Ad should have? Are Facebook ads an acceptable way to advertise D&D???

    D&D 4E D&D 4E Post-Mortem

    4E, like any TTRPG, has certain assumptions. If you violate those assumptions, a bad time can ensue.

    Graphic Design Layout Artists: The Reason TTRPGs Look Great

    People who complain that the stylish layout makes it hard to read should go read the 4th Edition rulebooks. Firing up the imagination is vital, understanding the rules is optional. After all, won't the DM just ignore them and use their judgement anyway???

    D&D 5E (2014) Legendary Resistance shouldn't be optional

    Why not? This monster is so powerful/special, an effect that would out right kill/render powerless other beings only slightly weakens it! You're free to come up an answer that'll best fit your sense of simulation; but I'm not willing to spend the time or energy to jump through the loops...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Jeremy Crawford Interviews

    D&D 5E (2014) Legendary Resistance shouldn't be optional

    Is there any genre or theme that the TTRPG medium does not work for?

    All you really need is a karaoke machine. Pick the song that best fits a moment. It would be much easier to have an adventure path with musical numbers in it. You could play prerecorded songs to serve as exposition.

    Is there any genre or theme that the TTRPG medium does not work for?

    Due to licensing, I'm never gonna see an Atlus Shurgged TTRPG or a "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear" Faisco deck.

    Applications Open for GAMA's Horizons Fellowship

    I assume he's yearning for the day when people do not suffer political and economic disadvantages due to their racial/sexual/etc. background. Programs like this grant will be redundant then. I, too, yearn for that day. Until then, we need things like this to help level the playing field.
