That’s what they want you to think! Looking at my conspiracy board it all makes sense now that I can connect Williams to Edmond J. Funko… the puppet master that’s been pulling the strings of every major since gaming controversy since Col. Mustard’s involvement in Iran-Contra was leaked on the...

I’m 50… it’s been a long time since anyone’s called me a young’un, so thanks!

Not to derail the thread, but I had a short wedding themed adventure... at my own wedding reception, so that doesn't seem odd to me at all. Granted, the wedding was at a castle, and the reception theme was "choose your own adventure," so we had booze in the pub, board games in the great hall...

Excuse me while I go out and buy a lottery ticket.

Nice. Perhaps those who insist on using 5.whatever to identify the revision could settle on 5.2 to match the SRD. Still, I wonder how many posts it will take for someone to spin this as a negative. I predict 7...

Don't be too hard on yourself. I'll be a lot of use don't set boundaries. It does sound like your players are taking advantage though. Since you are in therapy, I'd definitely bring this whole situation up.

GM burnout is a common issue. I feel like we all go through out at some point. What we don't all have are groups who aren't understanding and willing to work with us. As others have said, it sounds like you are in some toxic groups and that's a problem (the fact that your wife is part of it is...

Plot hook? Pass... gimme death!

There are some interesting ideas in this thread. The problem is there are just too many different types of settings that folks want--you make one, it will appeal to some and piss oof everyone else. Maybe the smarter play would be to create a setting book that doesn't detail a single setting, but...

Other than the odd set of miniatures, I've managed to avoid buying gaming stuff on Amazon. But since I used D&D Beyond, their physical digital bundles have been what's kept me from buying at the LGS. I imagine I will do the same for the new core rules--the savings is just too good over buying...

I've stayed at Landoll's castle--my cousin got married there. It's nice. The act that it would be a 90 minute drive rather than a long flight makes it more tempting... but it's still a lot of money.

Truth! Even when a system has a free SRD it seem like some gamers are like “ugh, I have to buy dice?! Why are there no systems that will pay me to play them?”

Years ago, I was in an online game that started off as 5E, until the DM decided he couldn't stand 5E, and that in fact he has not like any version of D&D since 1E and and wanted to play that instead. I'd only played 1E a few times back in high school, so I gave it a try... but it just wasn't for...

I'm pretty interested to see what they do with this revision. DMGs have been all over the place in terms of quality and usefulness, with the most recent being among the best (4E) and worst (5E'14) examples... Even using D&D Beyond I really struggle to find things in the current DMG. The...

While I’ve had this or that I’m not so sure about, on the whole I’ve like what I’ve seen in the play test, so I’m a yes.

yes and no. I generally ignore the terrible ads on most websites and skip the ones before a video whenever possible, and yes I will actively avoid a lot of products/companies because of these ads. But l feel like it’s largely because ads these days are lazy and awful. I remember actually liking...

You know, in retrospect one of the worst decisions TSR ever made was starting the tradition of having a major in-world event to explain minor in-game changes (at least in the Realms). The Time of Troubles was cover to explain why suddenly there are no assassins (Bhaal's dead) and the new...

Though my players don't realize it yet, the campaign I am currently running is (in large part) a version of the 2E Rod of Seven Parts boxed set sprinkled with the four Flame the dragon adventures from Dungeon magazine--the second of which uses the Hand and Eye of Vecna as a maguffin. I was...

I gotta admit, I'm pretty surprised that the first adventure of the updated rules is for levels 10-20. Not that I'm complaining mind you, it's just unexpected. And the posts from the past few days about how WotC has basically blown their opportunity to capitalize on the 50th anniversary by not...

It's not even the middle of February, it seems a but early to be making predictions for the entire year. Sure, it would have been nice to have a more concrete release schedule, but it's been a really long time since they made those types of announcements really far in advance. I'm fairly...
