    Aphantasia and Role Playing Games

    This is true (friends comment I drive like a robot), but it also means I can't envision the cars around me, so my situational awareness is terrible. Also, even though my eyes are visually still taking in imagery and piping it to my brain, my mind certainly still wonders off... 😣 For me, I...

    Aphantasia and Role Playing Games

    For me, I absolutely "hear" thoughts. I think completely in words, not pictures. As for the other senses, I'm good there too. For instance, when I cook, I can imagine what adding more salt would taste like; and when I play guitar, I can imagine what going up an octave would sound like.

    Aphantasia and Role Playing Games

    I pretty much went my whole life thinking everyone else was the same way. I even began college as an art major and did pretty good! I only switched over to engineering two years later because I wanted an excuse to take more math classes. Poetry, music (guitar), drawing, and painting, all without...

    Critical Role's 'Daggerheart' Open Playtest Starts In March

    Yeah, but Spencer Starke is the Lead and judging by interviews like this one the main creative driving force. Not saying in anyway this is a bad thing, but makes sense why it's a "story game" and not "D&D, but better".

    Critical Role's 'Daggerheart' Open Playtest Starts In March

    Skimmed it tonight and nothing is clicking for me at all. Was Mercer involved at all? I don't see his influence anywhere...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Have A Thread of Veteran GM Advice

    It varies quite a bit: Digital Map Case - Etsy I'm quite the nerd, so have most of the electronics and cables for it, would just need the case. But that's still quite the investment for a game I only play once a week now.

    AD&D 1E Seriously contemplating an attempt at a retro AD&D

    @deganawida I think it's cool you're giving AD&D a shot, good luck! I find the original AD&D books to be the heart and soul of D&D and reread them at least once a year. I hope once you do the same you'll come back here and let us know what you think! That said, because Gygax approached his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Have A Thread of Veteran GM Advice

    @MNblockhead Thanks for the amazing response. That sounds pretty close to what I want to start doing actually. Over the years I've amassed hundreds of miniatures though, so thinking of using a digital map case to get the best of both worlds:

    D&D General The Alexandrian’s Insights In a Nutshell [+]

    Awesome! I certainly will. I'm only half way done, but picked it up again, so will update as I go. One of the first things I picked up on that he teaches (that took me a long time to realize) was the best games are ran somewhere between the "completely neutral arbiter" and "obnoxious...

    D&D General The Alexandrian’s Insights In a Nutshell [+]

    Agree! I wanted to talk about it here soooo bad after reading it, but I knew it was just going to be pages and pages of discussion of him as a person and not his actual insights. I've already started enough of those threads...

    Speaking of pizza, what's everyone's delivery fee's like? It's up to $7 here in California.
