    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    My Top 10 (I am not including some classic Universal movies written by my uncle which hold a sentimental place in my heart or a popular horror/comedy in which my "aunt's" brother was cinematographer). In no particular order: The Thing (1982) The Exorcist (1973) Alien (1979) A Nightmare on Elm...

    Five Big Takeaways from the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

    I know that works for some players. I am not one of them.* *edit: It has not worked for me since my first year or so of playing Holmes Basic/AD&D 1e.

    D&D General Custom Spells From the DM?

    When I DM D&D (or any fantasy game with clerics/priests), I provide a small list of shared spells and then spell lists tailored to each of the campaign's deities. Been doing this since AD&D.

    D&D General When and where did the idea of Ranger as "wilderness rogue" start?

    I don't know if I would call them "druid centric" in 1e. They didn't get druid spells until 8th level (and the number of druid spells were pretty limited). By the point they receive druid spells, they were close to name level (level 10 for levels) which was generally assumed to be the point...

    D&D General Multiclassing Shouldn't be Treated as the Default

    Rush, "Freewill" ! I had to give you a like for that and let you know.

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

    I don't know how it is where you work, but in many areas of the U.S., it is worse. If a parent sees you having a drink at a bar with friends or co-workers after work, you can lose your job if they report you let alone someone posting a picture of you having drinks on your off time.

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    If they are going with a classic adventure, I wish it had been Village of Hommlet or a reorganized Secret of Bone Hill (yeah, the latter was for levels 2-5, but Merric pointed on his site that there spots a party of first level characters could handle).

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast Backtracks on D&D Beyond and 2014 Content

    Not having Foundry (or any VTT), that might be my source of confusion regarding Foundry, prior to WOTC's recent statements) stating that users will be able to choose between 2014 and 2020 and my thinking they sold 5e 2014 digital core books.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast Backtracks on D&D Beyond and 2014 Content

    Any chance we will still be able to get 2014 digital core books on D&D Beyond, Foundry, etc.?

    D&D 5E (2014) New class niche?

    I don't think WOTC is going to publish an arcane gish class. You might want to check out the following: The Warmage (Mage Hand Press), The Magus (Sterling Vermin), and, maybe, The Magus (LaserLlama)

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast Backtracks on D&D Beyond and 2014 Content

    That is my experience too, but WOTC keeps shooting themself in the foot. I want, just once, to think that they are not completely incompetent. :D

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast Backtracks on D&D Beyond and 2014 Content

    I am starting to think someone I read the other day was right when they said that WOTC might have have put out their original post as controversy to get people talking (any publicity is good publicity) so they could then step it back.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Rules Oddities (Kibbles’ Collected Complaints)

    I am not a fan of many of the changes, but there are definitely some changes that fix both certain issues and loopholes that result in unintended optimizer tricks.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules that annoy you

    Edit: Sorry for Umbrella Academy season 4 spoiler below. At which point, just pour it over the wound. I believe in season 4 of Umbrella Academy, they poured liquid Marigold into Klaus's wound and it closes up.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules that annoy you

    Yeah, if you look at first aid classes, they say not to give liquid to an unconscious person as it may result in the person choking.

    D&D 5E (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

    1. While there are a few things that I like about 5.24, I dislike the changes to backgrounds, many of the changes to species, several of the origin feats, several of the changes to classes, the new subclasses (with the possible exception of Circle of the Sea), most of the new spells. 2. If I...

    D&D General Who shouldn't play D&D

    Yeah, she might be better served by a "light-hearted" game in the vein of 80's John Hughes teen movies in which death is not on the table. ;) Another option might be something like Savage World with the Cartoon violence option or Cartoon Action Hour where PC death is, in general, not a thing

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules that annoy you

    yes, it is according to someone going over the feats in a PHB reveal. According to the video, "If you’re holding one of them, you can load a piece of ammunition into it even if you lack a free hand" with "them" being a Hand Crossbow, Light Crossbow or Heavy Crossbow.
