I'm a little confused about some of these criticisms. No other season was tied to Season 1... What made you think this one would be? Using names like Tuttle or the Spiral seemed to me like declaring that Ennis was in the same world as Season 1, not that it was continuing the story. The tongue...

I fully agree. D&D has always been a hobby closely associated with friendships. I really only play with friends, or with people I'm interested in becoming friends with. Because of that, I'd pretty much run or play anything as long as it was with a good group of friends. The best systems are the...

Way back in 3rd Edition, my group and I played for a while misinterpreting the Flanking rules. I forget exactly how it went, but we thought that being Flanked meant you lost your Dex bonus to AC. It made flanking extremely advantageous. Eventually we realized Flanking just gave a +2 to attacks...

I prefer 4 hours, though 3 are used for gaming and 1 for hanging out. To me, hanging out, chatting, catching up are really important parts of D&D! But if we have three or fewer hours to play, I get more focused on just playing.

This is my experience, too. Once I have the core books I'm pretty much done. I'm still using the same dice, miniatures, etc that I bought 15 - 20 years ago. And since I make my own adventures I'll drop a few bucks on some grid paper and pens, but that means I'm spending $20 a year on D&D. A...

I really enjoyed the season! I wish they had peppered the reveals earlier in the season instead of saving them for the last two episodes. But I was really satisfied with the answers to the mysteries, as well as what they didn't tell us. To me, it seems that "Her" is the female force. Call it...

Most likely! I just put together a group of brand new players. If the game continues into next year, we will probably all switch over. I did advise them not to buy any D&D books until the new ones come out. If the game falls apart I'll probably wait until I'm playing regularly again and then...

Thanks for the discussion everyone, it's great to read all these different perspectives!

I'm running a new campaign for brand new players, and last night the Barbarian showed some boredom with using the same weapon over and over again. She started to switch to her rapier, her daggers, etc. And of course, the only effect of this was that she did less damage. Now to be perfectly...

Due to scheduling stuff, we are only two sessions into the actual campaign... And the players are so invested!!! They just encountered an NPC they'd designed who is an anarchist freedom fighter and they were really excited. This has been a really rewarding process.

The pop-ups come up occasionally for me, here's a screenshot. EDIT: Just to be clear this is a screenshot from my phone.

My players helped design my latest campaign world, and they designated humans as the face of the opposition. The idea is that the realm used to be a lot more diverse, but a single entity called the Sun King took over and put humans in charge of everything. In reality, a lot of the humans in...

The lesson here is that if influencers continue with this misinformation campaign, Tencent will wind up purchasing Guam.

Whatever you can do to help with this would be greatly appreciated. The ads are making the site just about unusable on both my computer and phone. Here's a screenshot of the homepage from my computer, using Chrome: Edit: and here's a screenshot from my phone:

Does it matter? Thread necromancies are fun! It's fun to see old conversations, what has or hasn't changed.

Player: I want to roll the dragon's corpse off the gold pile. DM: Hm... The dragon is really heavy, I don't know if you can. Player: How heavy is it? DM: I'm not sure, let me ask on EN World... (20 years later...) DM: Okay, roll for it.

Session 1 went great! The players all had very tragic, involved backstories, they're really playing into the darkness of the setting. They were excited to see all their themes and choices represented in the campaign.
