    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Holy hell, you are making it sound like he is a frothing at the mouth dictator. All I said was that we don’t get as many Short Rests as I’d like. That’s hardly enough to banish him to the corner. And yeah, the DM is the final arbiter. I have no problem with that. They get to limit all sorts...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Which I have done. Please give me some credit for knowing how to adult. I’ve known this DM for 45 years. But this is something we don’t agree on. He doesn’t like the concept of hour long breaks in the middle of the dungeon. At the end of the day, it’s his call. We can adapt, or just not...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Wait, are you actually suggesting arguing with the DM in the middle of the game? How is that going to end well?

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Well, yeah, that’s exactly what they could do. And come on, if the DM says no, it’s a no. I’m not going to sit there and say “ I’m not moving for an hour unless you make me, Nyah!” That tends to lead to rocks falling…

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Really? To my mind, the DM is totally in charge of rests. “Can we take a short rest?” “No, it’s too dangerous, too many monsters, etc”. Believe me, we’ve tried.

    D&D 5E (2024) They butchered the warlock in the new packet

    I don’t disagree with you. I would have loved to see shorter Short Rests. But that probably was a bridge to far for what they wanted to do with this…they would have had to rebalance a whole lot of stuff, potentially. But as a Warlock, I’m happy to get a fix, no matter how it comes.

    D&D 5E (2024) They butchered the warlock in the new packet

    That’s not fair. I like Warlocks, and am playing one now. But I didn’t like being so dependent on Short Rests for my spells. I got to the point where I stopped using them unless it was a clear game changer (like when I could drop Hunger of Hadar and change the fight). I’m definitely...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Okay, I’ve given a quick skim. I’m coming from a position of someone who (as a player) is mostly familiar with fighters and warlocks. So far, I’m happy with what I’m seeing. Weapon Mastery looks great, and I’m glad you aren’t locked in to your choice. I’ve got no qualms with the Fighter at...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Closer Look At The 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide

    It just feels to me like you are white-rooming an absolute worst case scenario I would never expect to see. I can’t imagine having a group where: 1) no one talks to anyone ever before the game starts 2) no one has any idea this is a cooperative game (new players are probably being introduced...

    Slow page load speeds (esp. for included images and fonts)

    It's definitely been a lot more sluggish than I'm used to, both on mobile devices and my desktop. I can't help pinpoint it, but just adding my voice to the chorus.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Closer Look At The 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide

    I have to say, I've been wondering that myself. A lot of potential issues that are brought up leave me wondering, who the heck are you all playing with? And why? Not just this issue, but the concerns over "what do I do when someone shows up with a 2014 druid in my 2024 game?" and the like...

    Mando season 3

    At least Vader didn’t totally forget about the clones he had stored outside…:)

    "The Marvels" - Teaser

    Also, saying She-Hulk got a lot of dislikes doesn't exactly disprove the "it's all about girl cooties" theory...:)

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    That’s hard to say. We know they covered 50% of the cost, it we don’t know any details on the revenue split. It’s possible that it was contracted that Paramount got a larger share of the revenue up to a certain point, to ensure they didn’t lose money. Pure speculation, but it’s not outside...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Weapons Table Shows 'Mastery' Traits

    Fair enough. Now that I think about it, I'm coming from a position of Battlemaster, so my perception will be skewed a little.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Weapons Table Shows 'Mastery' Traits

    I’m assuming you mean interesting and engaging outside of combat? As someone who does play fighters, I would have thought interesting and engaging are character traits, not mechanics. Personally, mechanically, I’ve never had a problem getting a fighter to engage with non-combat aspects of the...

    D&D General A King with A Common Born wife has A 20 month old common born niece that he's very fond of, when the niece is orphaned could he adopt her?

    I’m assuming any king who has a bunch of polymorphed good dragons as bodyguards can pretty much do whatever he pleases. Or is this a different kingdom we’re talking about?

    "The Marvels" - Teaser

    It definitely looks like fun! I’m more excited for this than I was for the last few. But yeah, I can’t believe there’s already videos popping up about how it was ‘trash’. Gotta get those hate clicks, I guess :(

    D&D General A King with A Common Born wife has A 20 month old common born niece that he's very fond of, when the niece is orphaned could he adopt her?

    Well, in that case, I’d say whoever was enforcing those rules are the ones you need to ask about the original adoption.
