I didn't want to derail the other thread, so I moved this comment over to its own space. Because I'm a gentleman. Here's the quote: This isn't the first time I've read this about the Twilight Cleric. There are several threads out here on EN World that just casually mention the Twilight...

I know right? I've visited that thread a couple of times and tried to pick up on the discussion, but it's impossible. Nothing but broad generalizations and adamant declarations. Nobody wants to listen, they just want to be told they are correct.

What a hot take. "It used to be cool. But since I left, it's totally not cool anymore." Nobody has ever said that before, about anything. ----- Sorry I'm late to the thread.

I had to really zoom in to see the OP's message:

Ugh. House-hunting is stressful. I just put an offer in on a house in Portland, Oregon. We'll see how it goes.

I know, right? It's pretty bold to consider myself an expert of something that has only existed for (checks calendar) a few months.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I'm curious what a multidimensional scale from zero to ten would look like.

Yeah, I know. I did my best trying to come up with benchmarks between "never played it" and "I wrote it," but there's definitely room for improvement. What benchmarks would you have used?

This is a good point. Or that you've even read them: one of my players wrote a spell point system, not realizing that one had already been written in the DMG. :) And in the other direction, I imagine a lot of people would be thinking "I consider myself a TEN because I wrote some house...

I love it when that happens...when the group and the game and the schedules all just "click."

I put myself at a 5...I'm familiar with the rules and the supplements, and I'll tinker around with them a little bit, but I'm not proficient enough to come up with an entire new game mechanic. For example, I'll tweak things for flavor and ease of use--let the sorcerer pick spells off of the...

How familiar are you with 5th Edition D&D's rules? How comfortable are you with tinkering around with them? Rank yourself on a scale of zero (never played 5E) to ten (I created 5E).

This is an excellent idea, and I am happy to support it. Normally I eschew Kickstarter, preferring to do business with their competitors who have taken firmer stances against crypto and AI...but I think it could do a lot of good for the gaming hobby as a whole, so I'm backing it.

It's shaping up to be a great year for indie RPG projects!

I tend to zone out during combat. Like you said, it's usually the same thing over and over again for four hours: move, press A, press B, end turn. The rest of the story is so much more interesting to me--exploring, talking to NPCs, disarming complicated traps, solving puzzles, figuring out...

Over on Reddit, I came across an excellent example of an unreasonable DM who is clearly out to ruin his players' fun. The DM had prepared an adventure where the heroes would remove a vengeful spirit from a sweet old lady's house. The adventure started, and Kevin decided that he wanted to leave...

Pro tip: get a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid (we repurposed a quart-size yogurt container.) Put all of your vegetable peels, trimmings, end pieces, stems, etc. in it, and keep it in your freezer. When it gets full, dump it into a pot and make vegetable broth out of it.

Today, I'm in the mood for a kaiju triple-feature: Godzilla Minus One Colossal Tremors An updated classic, a kaiju rom-com, and a childhood favorite. What's not to love?

We've been 100% online since the lockdowns began. Last time we talked about it, there was no interest in going back to in-person gaming...babysitters, traffic, parking, designated drivers, etc., aren't worth the trouble anymore now that VTTs have become more viable as alternatives.
