    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    DDB with 5.5 bites....hard. If you search "incapacitated" then the first entries are for 5.0. The first 5.5 entry is the 5th link. This takes you to the glossary where you are forced to run a second search to get to the condition. Why? Because they did not make it searchable as a separate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    Well, if we did not get the folks who complained about detrimental effects of casting high level spells etc, then we'd have seen more balance at high level. Wish or Simulacrum should be difficult to cast with serious consequences to the caster. The main problem, I see, with high level play in...

    Spoilers Academy Awards 2025

    They are restricted by their rules on what movies can be nominated so only movies that fit the requirements can be considered.

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    Currently, Sigil is free. You pay for a sub for DDB. Sigil is an add on. Now, if that changes, I will evaluate if it is worth investment.

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    FYI I just installed it on a second computer. Once you download the exe file, you go to downloads, click the executable, then it will launch and ask for you to sign-in. You can use multiple methods, but I used my Wizards account. After signing in, you can click "Install." This will provide a...

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    Do you have an Nvidia account? The new app seems a bit better than the old GeForce Experience. Both apps work much better if you are signed into them. They get buggy if you remain signed out. Otherwise, they release new drivers monthly and if folks do not want to use the app, then I would put a...

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    It works pretty well for my online game. We have used both Sigil and Maps and they are not bad.

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    It means that you should update your graphics drivers. Do you know what card you have? If Nvidia, use the Nvidia App to stay updated.

    Ernie Gygax Has Passed Away

    I am sorry to hear it and I hope that his family gets the time and support they need. The worst aspect of getting older, especially getting to middle age, is the people you lose. It is not the aging, it is the loss and the understanding at a deeper level that this what will continue to happen...

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    I have been using Sigil for 5-6 months. It is pretty decent. Now, I only have experience on much older VTTs or Roll20. I like Sigil right now but it does need some more cook time. It is pretty easy to create content in the system and the rules are not always fully set. For instance, you can...

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    Just link your Wizard account on DDB. I have linked my twitch, google, wizards, and discord account.

    AD&D 2E Huh. AD&D 2e is my favorite D&D

    2e is also my favorite edition. I played it again a few years ago and it still is my preferred game. I have been working to collect it all digitally on drivethrurpg.

    D&D 5E (2024) Circle of the Moon Druid Fix

    Not sure you need to fix it or just rule that some of the monsters they changed are still beasts, which may be easier. The 5.5 version already allows you to choose lesser forms like wolves etc. Of course, you can also just stick with 5.0.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    Why does this matter? I see a lot of people focusing on generational BS. I do not recall age wars in D&D back in the day. Gamers tended to stick together because those were the people who understood us.

    Just this week...

    The state of the world is no excuse. If someone is that upset, they should seek help rather than abuse others. Plenty of folks struggle every day and have for years.
