    D&D 5E (2024) How D&D Beyond Will Handle Access To 2014 Rules

    It is your adherence to the view that 5e means D&D 5e that leads to that nonsensical declaration. If view 5e as not D&D 5e, then it does make sense. I guess it comes down to whether considering D&D 5e a brand, or an overall system. I'm more aligned with Mamba, seeing it as a brand as others...

    Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player's Handbook Is Already Getting Errata

    I don't believe was intent, my read was that was trying to pull out an example of industries where perfection should be paramount, errors eliminated completely if possible, and that even in businesses that may spend millions a year in eliminating such things (for the sake of point here, ignoring...

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Is interesting looking at discussion, and thinking about what I'd do if recruiting. In lieu of much other information, if I was aware of this (we don't tend to look at social media ourselves when recruiting) I would likely determine based on knowledge of the company being 'bad mouthed' as such...

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Are you sure you're not getting WoTC and Hasbro mixed up here? I thought the 1,900 was Hasbro overall, not purely WoTC.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I don't know if I remember it right, and it ran into issues around resource management, but older D&D had 1 minute rounds, and I think the idea was you had multiple swings etc going on but only one or two attacks that had a real chance of getting through defenses, so only rolled 1 / 2 attacks...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I agree with that - question is do the rules vary from that, or is it more situational? In a case when got clear terrain and can see advancing enemies approach, I think with D&D rules as is can make most of ranged weaponry / spells to kill from a distance, but in a lot of typical D&D situations...

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    Default breakdown of money only gives about 5% to charity, of the rest it is close to 50/50 between humble and Alchemy. I'm suggesting it is Alchemy who should be making it right out of the money they are getting, or FL from the money they are getting from Alchemy.

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    Ah, in that case very consumer unfriendly to basically change terms of the bundle after purchase, I think they should have fixed for new purchases but for people who already have purchased PDFs should have been maintained somehow, even if meant giving drivethru codes or the like if the VTT...

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    I recall looking at the bundle, as could have been interested in PDFs, but the bundle seemed to say was only for software for the Alchemy VTT, and so if not using the VTT, didn't seem ablny benefit - was there something that said PDFs also available, or is that more from a general understanding...

    Did You Back a Million Dollar TTRPG Kickstarter? How's The Game?

    I backed the One Ring 2nd Edition (and Moria) - very happy with it, played starter set with the group and everyone seemed to enjoy it, now mainly waiting on Moria book to consider giving it a proper go, once we've run through other games on our list (currently Star Trek Adventures, then...

    The Lord of the Rings as [Greenlandian] Fantasy in The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien [edited title]

    Minas Tirith, while built into a hill, is described with the top being 700ft above the gate at the bottom. The Argonath are described as 'massive'. Barad-Dur is implied to match up to Minas Tirith, so be 700ft plus as well. But like others, not sure overall point. LOTR I find is a mythical...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    But when I look at reviews of some of their products, like WFRP, or One Ring, I do see videos of people flipping through their pages and showing off some - certainly they don't show every page, but I don't see how it is much different to what Slyflourish did, and apparently those companies have...

    The Lord of the Rings as [Greenlandian] Fantasy in The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien [edited title]

    I don't know, possibly impacted by having read some of the Unfinished Tales / History of Middle Earth stuff - one of which opens with a traveller from 'current day' as such meeting Elves from memory - but always felt it from published works that it was a view of a mythical past of our world...

    WotC WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond

    Or it may point to a systematic problem with the way you recruit? Maybe there are flaws with your process, such as relying on someone's ability to interview well, to sell themselves well - yes people should be honest, and from my experience it is clear when they're not, but I know I bring my...

    WotC WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond

    My understanding if it helps, is Frogweaver was trying to get a feel for those who were still listed as credited, to compare against those that had been removed - to see if a pattern was there - i.e. was it that only credits where certain people were listed that were removed, and others with...

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    I had the toys as well at one point, and I think a book that went with it, but memory blurs and for a long time I thought it was about an adventure R2D2 and C3PO had regarding a black hole.

    Doctor Who: Jodie Whitaker’s last episode [spoilers]

    Not sure if right thread for this- but has been announced that the Thirteenth doctor and Yaz are returning for Big Finish audios! Given the great job they did with the Sixth Doctor, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do for the Thirteenth :)

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    I guess for me I'm struggling to see the point of giving context here if not trying to excuse him? What does bit matter what the context is if the main point is purely that Gary was sexist, which some people are trying to deny? Does it matter what society was like at that point? I just don't...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    Thanks for that advice :) is there a simple run down for group advantage if I don't have up in arms? To make sure understood above, given group are experienced in RPGs, better to skip the starter set, or still get the starter set butbl use above adventures instead of the starter set adventures...
