    D&D 5E (2014) Is D&D 90% Combat?

    You can chalk combat up to a single roll based on some sort of nebulous, all-encompassing "attack" stat or skill. Then compare rolls to see who got the higher number (no modifiers needed, even) and then adjudicate the results based on the intentions of the winning combatant. Combat is just...

    D&D 5E (2014) Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    No, I don't play it because I don't care about Dr. Who. I think you're missing the point tho, because this whole kerfuffle isn't even specifically about Dr. Who the game or the franchise or whatever. It's about the industry standard of 5e being the only game that gets the majority of attention...

    Chaosium Suspends NFT Plans

    Whatever they could put out in terms of an adventure, map, char-op, or any other type of gaming resource can already be done in other, non-environmentally destructive formats.

    D&D General Chris just said why I hate wizard/fighter dynamic

    I find it works so well cause like... Yeah, sure, the Wizard can pull through in a dire situation every now and then. But afterwards we have to haul their 90-pound, half-mummified frame out of Lankhmar because they burnt themselves down to the wick casting Magic Missile! Lots of spectacle, lots...

    D&D General I hate pdfs, and I'm happy that WOTC primarily publishes Books

    When it comes down to it, if there's only one option available I can always print out what I need from a PDF without worry. But I do love my physical DCC collection.

    City adventures in very low-magic fantasy

    Check out the DCC Lankhmar adventures. Gang wars, heists, theatre plays, there's some good stuff to be found in there.

    D&D General Railroads, Illusionism, and Participationism

    I'm not even old and it just makes me kind of befuddled. If they're gonna arbitrarily end combat when you like, why make players roll all those dice in the first place? Just... narrate the battle being won?

    D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

    Is it a major issue? Seems more like 3-4 people complaining about it in an internet forum.

    D&D 5E (2024) 4e design in 5.5e ?

    It's not a bother, it's just a different mindset. One that is more interested in seeing what the dice give you, and making the best out of those results. And as a player, not having to worry about builds is pretty nice instead I can focus on "building" my character through the items, knowledge...

    D&D 5E (2024) 4e design in 5.5e ?

    Yep. The point of the funnel is not only to pick up the pieces that remain and have them be Level 1's, but to have fun watching unlucky peasants get destroyed in all sorts of ways!

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble She examines the door, squinting at it. "Looks heavy. Perhaps we should wait until the rest have finished doing whatever it is they're occupying themselves with before checking this strange tower's insides..." She leans against the wall, and then spots Vasha and Ranken...

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble She taps the wet stones with her sword, and then shakes her head. "Not worth the head injury, I'm afraid." She walks up to Koby, wondering what the orphan's getting up to and heeding his call, and looks at the tracks as well. "Strange. Where do they lead to...?" With a...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble Talia whirls around looking back at the gate, and nearly trips when turning at the sound of the bell! It looks a bit silly in the moment, so she hopes no one's looking and composes herself by standing up straight and clearing her throat, "Our 'hosts' seem to be well aware...
