I'm old enough to have started gaming before e-mail and cell phones, so I get it. As a DM, I would run the game we agreed upon and have a conversation about changing campaigns and system or at least trying something new next time as a one shot or mini campaign if I feel I needed a break from the...

This is similar to how magic works in Warhammer Fantasy Role Play. Wizards and characters with the right talent can detect the winds of magic, and magic requires speaking. Wizards can attempt to cast subtlety, but take a penalty to their language magic cast (expect for gray wizards who can cast...

I like all of the ones shown except the mummy gnoll with blue claws and the dragons. I'd be tempted to buy the others if I still played in person and could buy them on the after market instead of buying bricks of blind boxes.

Did you spring it on them at the last minute? Like they came to play D&D and you said "let's play Star Wars today"? I could see some players getting upset with that. Even so, was there at least a discussion or debate. Was it "I want a break from D&D, let's play Star Wars" and they said they...

My first 5e campaign was an open world sandbox campaign. I did most of the broad strokes world building myself, because that was a large part of my enjoyment with the hobby at the time. The third-party material I would use were mostly adventures that I thought I could plug in a pinch and ways to...

As a GM, I tend to play one system for a long time because I run long campaigns, don't have time to dedicate to multiple ongoing gaming commitments, and it is easier because of the investment in content and time already made. I ran 5e campaigns from 2014 until the beginning of 2024. Half of...

I just learned that this is something I really enjoy. @MonsterEnvy , do you plan to make more threads like this with different monsters and level? I enjoy live plays, etc., but reading a round-by-round combat, like a record of a chess or go game, is something I didn't know I needed in my life. :-)

Undead crash royal wedding banquet.

I'm tempted to preorder on D&D Beyond for the digital discount. But I want the special cover and I would rather give my money to FLGS. Paying an extra $19 by forgoing the DDB bundle discount is a bit steep. If I could get the special cover, I would consider buying the bungle, but I much prefer...

Yep and had the action figures as well!

DDB support resolved it and reconnected it to my Wizards account. To be fair to DDB support, their response times were very good. I generally sent an e-mail in the evening and had a response by noon the next day. It took three rounds back and forth, but the first round was my fault because I...

Thought I would share this as both a cautionary tale and to see if anyone else has done the same thing and if they were able to resolve it. Living up to my user name, I recently did a blockheaded thing and unlinked my Google account from my DDB account. The only account I left linked was...

Not burned. Just accumulated soot. The sooty reds are just down on their luck and don't have a clan of worshipful kobolds to apply Rutland's Hearth and Dragon Scale conditioning cleaner to them regularly.

I get it. I've certainly have been bummed out by the constant negativity in discussions about something I like and am even excited about. There are a lot of threads I avoid and I've occasionally taken a break from forums during particularly contentious periods. But unless folks are breaking the...

Well, it wouldn't be much of a discussion if someone just said "I don't like it" and move on. I find those kinds of posts more annoying. I don't understand the point of coming in and just posting "I don't like it" or "it sucks", etc. I'm much more interested in the "because ..."

Not sure about the original myths. The Malleus Maleficarum (Malleus maleficarum : Kraemer, Heinrich, -1508 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive), published in 1487 and which had a great impact in how incubi were thought of, seduction is emphasized. It focuses on more willing...

I miss the much more thoughtful discourse during the Great Eyeglasses Debate ignited by the PHB art. 😉

No, but can we please stat up a tentacled centaur?
