    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    I think for any edition death should be as frequent as fits your group's wants and desires. I do miss the grittiness of older editions where death was more frequent but given we are all adults with responsibilities now we want to play not make new characters as it eats into our limited gaming...

    Media THIS is how you build a Game Master's Guide! Tales of the Valiant - Kobold Press

    I'm a forever DM of 40 plus years. That being said I thought the 2024 DMG was nice but made more for a beginner which is fine. BUT I find The ToV GMG to provide a lot more useful info across all DM experience levels especially those who have already been DMing. Big fan of what you all did with ToV.

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    I don't necessarily disagree, it's why I mentioned "depending on how things move forward". Add in two narcissists and I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone before Trump is sworn in. But with chaos also comes, who really knows what plays out with this circus. Someone just needs to start BlueskyBro.

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    I'd agree if you had said he's destroyed his brand or maybe he morphed his brand depending on your point of view BUT to play devil's advocate, he's hanging with the new admin and depending on how things move forward he may have gained a whole heck of a lot more power. I'd say he destroyed the...

    He should buy Palladium instead...

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Is this satire? It's hard to tell anymore...but if not I'd prefer if Leon Musk didn't utter words related to our beloved hobby. Doesn't he have anything better to do like pretend to be an expert in government efficiency?

    D&D 5E (2024) Least stereotypical species/ class combos?

    I'm going to double down on your Gnome Barbarian. Which BTW is my newest PC, Nocan the Barbarian which I really enjoy. Total underdog vibes.

    Good RPGs for killing Nazis

    I don't think they're be too much of a problem just using regular 6 siders and substituting certain numbers. I imagine the d6s and conversion to make them non important would change the game quite a bit honestly and take some major reworking to make it work. I do know they make online dice...

    Dungeons & Dragons May Not Come Back to Greyhawk After 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

    Has anyone actually ever gotten high in the High Quarter?

    Good RPGs for killing Nazis

    I played the 2d20 version. I'm a fan of the 2d20 system as a disclaimer and realize personal tastes vary. Also, to be fair I have not played the other versions so really can not compare and contrast. I find the 2d20 version to be really about the pulp, supernatural, and comic style super...

    The Day After Ragnarok is pretty epic.

    Good RPGs for killing Nazis

    I enjoyed Weird Wars. I believe they have a SWADE version and a d20 version. I also enjoy Achtung Cthulhu.

    GMs - Do you get bored when you're a player?

    I'm of a forever DM of approx. 40 years. I do get bored at times, sure. It's been mentioned by others but I occupy myself with note taking, mapping, and preparing for my next turn if in combat. I'm a lore/explorer type of player. I also do all I can to assist the DM. Boredom happens, for me...

    I was happy to see you all have great taste, especially the individuals who added the Thing to the list ;) You all did a great job, my table is full of KP fans and ToV is a big hit with us.

    Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide impressions

    Following along. Huge fan of Kobold Press, love the Game Masters Guide. Big fan of minions and hoards, encounter templates, bloodied, as well as doom... I enjoy the Monster Vault, and as many know it's a pretty basic standard faire offering of monsters BUT you should probably get that as well...
