    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    DK Books - i.e., the kind of book that ends up in Five Below after a year or two.

    The price of streaming vs out right owning

    We dumped our Sunday Ticket subscription because of this, and decided screw it, if it’s on regular TV we’ll watch, and if it’s not, it’s not. Absolutely not going to buy all these different services just to catch a full season.

    The price of streaming vs out right owning

    I’d drop Disney in a heartbeat but it’s bundled with our Hulu + Live TV and there doesn’t appear to be an option to remove it.

    The price of streaming vs out right owning

    If you’re not using the service you subscribe to, then it’s just basically a waste of money. It’s very possible to get more value than what you pay if you’re using a service frequently. I’ve started getting strategic about the subscription services, cancelling several and starting to round robin...

    I think this is a big reason why there’s a greater community around D&D. So many people playing the game but in different ways leading to different styles of play, but none of it created with that particular intention.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    The TSR games were mine and my friends go-tos. AD&D was like 95%. But sprinkle in a little bit of Marvel Super Heroes and a dash of Star Frontiers and that’s probably the first 10 years of my gaming life.

    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    So, a couple of thoughts on this: it’s not like the Fireflies were upfront about their intentions. They were fully prepared to do the operation by force, and if I remember correctly, they took both Joel and Ellie captive first, and only informed Joel that it would kill her. It’s not even like...

    This feels almost like kids playing “Cops and Robbers” where one kid is always shouting what the rules are (the biggest kid, the oldest kid, the loudest kid) and the game goes on for awhile until a fight happens, and someone goes home crying.

    The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    Yeah that made zero sense to me, and now they just look like they’re ping-ponging around with the name. We still call it HBO at home.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Voice Actress For Heir of Strahd Is Amazing

    I want to go back to that old thread, quote this, and say “SEEEEEEEEE?” 😂

    What do you, personally, need a system to do for you?

    As a GM, I want to know how the designers envisioned the gameplay. If it’s a 1930s Pulp Action TTRPG, I’m going to expect some sort of vehicle and chase system, and want to know how that works, for instance. If it’s a mystery game, I want a good amount of guidance on how the game treats clues...

    What are some alternate ways to think about archetypes?

    Hmmm…just off the cuff… 1) Leader - able to give advantage to one PC per round. Maybe the limit is if the roll fails, it represents the plan has gone awry, and he loses the ability til next combat? 2) Kid - would be good to have some sort of push mechanic where they can take negatives for...

    What are some alternate ways to think about archetypes?

    Something like the Magnificent Seven would be a good set of archetypes: 1) The Leader - kind of self explanatory 2) The Kid - Brash, young, inexperienced 3) The Right Hand Man - often the voice of reason who can counter the Leader. 4) The Haunted One - he’s seen too much death and now he’s...

    I’m kinda hoping next season is the end. Keep the story tight.

    How long before you tire of a thread here?

    I think after two weeks nearly every thread has run its course with some exceptions where it’s a running thread by design.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Indian and Mexican fusion sounds like a match made in heaven. The similarities in the cuisines just make it sound perfect.
