    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Sure, if you want to risk alienating Critical Role and their fan base. It's not like Critical Role is beholden to WotC. What would stop them from switching systems to Pathfinder, or something else? Making demands just seems like a great way to ruin a potentially great partnership opportunity.

    Do you ever "call" fights?

    I've done it on occasions. Normally when the combat doesn't have any major implications on the plot and it is obvious what the outcome will be. Seems silly to waste time rolling dice when the outcome is already determined.

    How often do you use the Inspiration rules?

    I'm playing a Wild Mage at the moment, so I often don't use my Inspiration as I prefer to use my class ability as that will increase the chances that I will have a Wild surge. However, there is probably once or twice a session that the DM will award Inspiration, sometimes to 1 or 2 PCs for...

    What "non-main" book do you use the most?

    We're playing through ToA at the moment, so obviously that gets the most use by the DM. For us players it would be Xanathar's Guide to Everything. That said, it's mostly used only for a few spells. Everything else is just by the book PHB. This is only our second 5E campaign (our campaigns...

    Converting Grimtooth over to 5e

    I agree with this. I think the traps work better as something almost like a puzzle to be interacted with, rather than a DC and a die roll. That takes all of the theatre out of it otherwise. You could allow die rolls to help players figure out how the trap works or might be disarmed, maybe with...

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    I still need to go through and catalogue my PDF collection. I'm thinking that will dwarf my hard copy collection. Not quite as large as yours though. Looking at just your 5E list, I'm amazed you have so many PDFs for that alone! PDF bundles suck me in too. I own several Humble Bundle and Bundle...

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    Your RPG collection is pretty decent, but that board game collection is ginormous! How the heck do you store that many board games?

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    Wow, that's seriously impressive. That's roughly 70ft worth of books or roughly five 6ft x 4ft bookshelves full of RPG goodness!

    What Are These D&D 5E Notes In Monte Cook Games' Numenera Shipments?

    Monte's marketing has always been pretty on point. The guy definitely knows how to sell to his market.

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    I'd needed to inventory mine for a while as I think I need to cull it down a bit more. There's still some 3.xE books I should sell as I'm not sure I'll ever use them. My PDF's are sort of organised, but I think I need to go through and inventory them as I've accidentally bought a couple of PDFs...

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    Yeah, I've got about 60 Dragon Mags plus 70 Dungeon Mags that I didn't count in my initial post. They add up really quick!

    90% of D&D Games Stop By Level 10; Wizards More Popular At Higher Levels

    I’m not at all surprised that the number of PCs goes down as the levels go up. That would be common to most RPGs and editions of D&D. I do wonder how much the 5E stats are also impacted by the fact that the WotC adventures tend to end around level 10-13 (with only DotMM designed to run above...

    90% of D&D Games Stop By Level 10; Wizards More Popular At Higher Levels

    You lost a player at 1st level due to complexity? What the heck were they playing that made things too complicated, because at 1st level your options aren’t much beyond move and/or hit for most characters. 2nd and 3rd levels are where more options get added in (which I’m guessing was completely...

    It's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

    Was TMNT a Palladium release? IDW are actually Kickstarting a TMNT board game at the moment. So very tempted, but the price point is fairly high - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idwgames/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-adventures-city-fall/description

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    That’s quite a few! :) Yeah, I’d be at 400+ if I included Dragon and Dungeon mags.

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    How many painted minis do you have in your collection? I think I’ve seen you paint over 100 minis in the time I’ve been following your painted minis thread.

    Running Frog God’s Blight

    Can you provide any examples? I've got the 5E book and would love to run it some day, but I haven't read it closely yet.

    What are the biggest RPG crimes?

    Players cheating is right up the top for me. I also don't look too kindly upon PC's attacking, stealing from or otherwise destroying party unity with the excuse of "I'm just playing my character". DMs playing favourites or punitively punishing players is also up near the top (especially...

    How Many RPG Books Do You Own?

    I do not look forward to ever having to move my collection. I can only imagine how many separate boxes I'd have to spread the books across.

    I'm surprised. I expected you to have a lot more.
