In general, I think high level play requires a level of investment from the players (including the DM), that is more than what the casual D&D player enjoys. For one, I think successful high level play almost always stems from progressing through many levels before it (ie starting no higher than...

Yes. My campaigns tend to go to level 20, so that's a big reason for me. But more importantly, the higher levels also help guide the fiction for players who never get that high. They still look ahead and see what powers they will have some day and aspire to get there. It sparks the...

Just got HBO back and binged this in a couple of days. Loved it. Dune is really kicking Star Wars butt all over the place right now. Really goes to show how when a studio trusts talented creatives to run with their vision, something great can get made. Gonna need to go back and re-watch the...

They did it because they wanted to premier it at SxSW and get some buzz, which they did, the reveiws coming out of the festival were great, but then they ran into the buzzsaw that was SMB and got killed. What they should have done was move it even further back into the third week of April or...

That surprised me too. It would def be R as a movie release.

Agree that Levy has range and that TV-14 doesn't mean kids stuff. But it's simply untrue that MA hurts streaming shows in viewership the way that R hurts movies. Most viewed Netflix Shows (per google search) of the top 12, 10 are rated MA. Squid Games - MA Stranger Things - TV-14 Wednesday -...

While that's generally true for movies, streaming tends to favor MA rated content. GoT, Sopranos, Squid Games, Sex in the City, The Witcher, Interview with the Vampire, Last of Us... I could go on and on. They should tell the story they want to tell the way they want to tell it and let the...

Deadline also just reported that the pilot script is complete, which means it's further down the production pipeline and much more likely to happen.

First I've seen of it! Shawn Levy is involved, makes sense with Stranger Things coming to an end. I'd guess this has a very good chance to move forward. Would love if it followed the adventures of Doric and Simon after the movie.

Torq was the name, a half-orc funnel cake loving fighter. And yeah, Matthew's nat20's mysteriously deminished when they started using Roll20 for dice years into the campaign.

Def recommend listening to the Celestial Crusade (season 2) and the Lords of the Feywild (season 3). Incredible worldbuilding, great character arcs, and some of the best combat of the series.

You may want to try Critical Hit, season 1-3 are freaking amazing (note that they are playing 4e) and they eventually finish a single 1-30 campaign in season 5 or so, before moving on to other systems. The episodes are mostly 60 minutes long (slightly edited for long pauses or rules lookups)...

Yeah, I've been playing a lot with maps over the last 4 months, and I think it really strikes the right balance between automation and ease of use. Don't see any reason not to have Sigil run the same type of UI as maps, but with 3D instead of 2D.

Since you're not using maps, I'd recommend the encounter builder for running encounters. Very easy to add monsters, it keeps track of your party (if they are part of a campaign) and allows you to either manually enter die rolls for initiative or have the system roll (allows you to choose just...

My latest campaign has a mix of 14 and 24 PCs and the biggest issue we've run into is the need to have the spellcasters filter their spell selection by the correct rule set every time (you can't set up a default). Party is a 2014 Wizard and Barbarian, and 2024 Ranger and Paladin. Otherwise it's...

I wouldn't get your hopes up that they move to Daggerheart for C4, though I'm sure we'll see some additional content using that system like they did with Candella. Unfortunately, like Candella, the system really just cribs from other, better systems, and is kind of a mess. If they stick with...

Did you look at it's list of spells for innate spellcasting or just the actions? In inate spellcasting it has DC25(+18) At Will: Counterspell, Dispell magic, detect thoughts, eyebite, fireball, lightining bolt, shield 3/day: chain lightning, create undead, hold monster, mass suggestion...

If you're looking for a solo for level 18-20 characters, you'll need to look at a CR 27-30 monster. Sul Khatesh (Eberron RftLW) is magic user themed and CR28, just change it from a fiend to a human. If you don't mind having some appropriate support monsters, I think the Arch Hag will do fine...

As a solo, level 14 (typically solos can be handled by a party of 4 at 1.5x group level)

I am glad it's there. I may not actually use the lore as presented in a campagin, but it's a wonderful inspiration to me as I put together adventures.
