    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    Not the same situation, of course... but didn't we have a whole thing a while ago because because WotC sent thugs to someone's house to enforce their requirements? :p

    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    One thing people sometimes forget... player consent is always required. I don't think the quoted piece was WotC telling you. It was them reminding you. It's just pointing out that something has a high probability of touching on a nerve. I played in a game once where another player outright quit...

    D&D General Drow as Dark Fae?

    My game is probably pretty close to the old party line. An age ago, some clans of elves sided with the wrong side in a huge war among the gods. These clans, whether one fought or no, were punished by the god of elves. They became drow and those were weren't evil to begin with fell into the...

    How Old Were You When You Played Your First TTRPG?

    I was 12. But my daughter was 9 when we got her to play her first.

    D&D General So your thoughts on this guy

    This. What is even the point or the goal in reposting someone else's ravings?

    Legacy: The War of Ages character sheet?

    I found the system serviceable, and honestly that's enough for me. It was just... everything else. I had high hopes for Immortal: The Invisible War. But those hopes went unrealized.

    Legacy: The War of Ages character sheet?

    I reviewed that game for a 'zine. I was not kind, mainly owing to the games gratuitous use of its own terms ("Winternet" for "Internet?" Really?), its poor attempt to emulate White Wolf's formatting style, and its failure to acknowledge the similarities of the thing it was so clearly inspired...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM gave me a helm of teleportation, am I a jerk for using it?

    In the last series I played, we got to a high bluff and peeked into the courtyard on the place we were trying to get into. We waited ten real minutes while the DM laid out the mass of forces we saw waiting for us past the gate, placing the minis for tons of foes, barricaded gates, heavy blocked...

    D&D 5E (2014) please post advice for novice DM like myself

    I've got one of my own, but first... This. You can get yourself lost so easily by describing the wrong thing in too much detail, or the right thing in not enough. I consider myself a very experienced DM, and this is probably the mistake I make the most. When you (me!) get wrapped up too much in...

    20 years of playing D&D

    I started gaming in '79, aged 12. I started with D&D but didn't stick with it. By the third year of High School. I played several others. By early 90s, I had left D&D entirely for other games. Picked it back up in 2018. So I have maybe about 15 years of D&D, Maybe 10 years when we were exclusive.

    Renegade Studios Sends C&D To Stop Small Creator Using The Word 'Renegade'

    I was trying to think of a way to express my feelings without using any of my go-to words. This is it. RGS - this was a unworthy move, and even though it's resolved, the devil take you. You're like the crappy bully older brother who dangles his little bro over the Grand Canyon, pulls him in...

    Gloomhaven RPG Crowdfunder Hits $1M In First Hours

    Yeah... I'll check back when there is more info on the RPG. The Board Game (and board games in general), doesn't matter to me.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    You know... I had my own crazy, worthless scum-pretending-to-be-a-person stalker for a few years in gaming spaces. Sad cretin unable to come to terms with the fact that all the hate he got from all over was the direct result of how he acted toward other people, and he decided I was the...

    D&D General Another idea for a perfect crime in Dnd, the defendant bribes the jury to ensure their found guilty

    First of all, while this might be an interesting (probably not) plot for PCs to get involved with, I take issue with considering this even remotely, and tongue-in-cheekily, a "perfect" crime. It is a hot mess of convoluted planning with so many ridiculous variables, any one of which will kill...

    The Sith Lord's Home. Not a secret base. Not where he relaxes from a hard day of bursting hearts. It's the place where little Jimmy grew up, some out of what way settlement getting by on farming or something, happy memory of childhood the Sith Lord tells himself he's keeping it just to go back...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB on Amazon $26 and in the three for two book sale.

    Sadly, there aren't 3 I want. Or even 2. Are any of the adventures worth getting if there is a 0% chance I'll run them? Like... new rules / cool fluff / etc?
