    Is RPGing a *literary* endeavour?

    Eh? I've read a literary work - a modern masterpiece of a novel from a widely acclaimed literary master - where a set of paragraphs were each about one-third of a single sentence. On top of that, your definition would mean that Agatha Christie had never published a single paragraph in her...

    Favourite D&D edition that’s not 5E

    Ha ha! No. There's always a new generation of nerds ready to shimmy up to the keyboard and spew rage at their beloved hobby.

    What does it mean to "Challenge the Character"?

    One day, in the somewhat-distant future (or maybe tomorrow if the opportunity arises) I am gonna reply to some post of yours with a joke that references Frances the town guard. Perhaps the joke will be about how Frances the town guard considers himself such an experienced guard he decides he...

    Favourite D&D edition that’s not 5E

    Yeah. I pretty much said my assumption was wrong. I was making a joke about making false assumptions and our very human tendency to think that our personal preferences are widely (universally even) shared. That is, since 5e is my favorite edition, it must be everybody's favorite, right? Of...

    Right. Eberron is the new battleground.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    Yeah, this is what my Mearls-in-the-box (with a gun!) joke was for. I was commiserating with my fellow hobbyists since so many of us find reasons to buy a book that aren't just really wanting what's in the book itself. I have several 5e books that I've done nothing with. And I have dozens of...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    You got a good point. Last year, Mearls jumped out of a box that I found left on my doorstep. As if that wasn't terrifying enough, he then pulled a gun on me and forced me to drive to the local game store to buy a copy of Dragon Heist. If he does that to you*, it'll suck even harder than it...

    The New Dungeons & Dragons Storyline for 2019 Leaked Ahead of Live Stream

    Wait. You own both? Where'd you get a copy of the hardcover? By which I mean, how do I get a copy?

    Firearms

    I bet you they just copy/pasted those from D20 Past.

    Favourite D&D edition that’s not 5E

    Unless we assume that everybody's favorite edition is 5e (a rock solid assumption if ever there was one), in which case this poll is saying exactly what our second favorite is. :p (Protip: There is no such thing as a rock solid assumption.)

    Combating fights to the death

    Do you mean trying to get the players to the flee more often, or trying to get the players to not kill everything in sight? If it's the first, use tougher monsters, but make sure you have those monsters not chase after the PCs. Then they'll know that some fights really are too tough to fight...

    Yeah. At least at the beginning.

    Animate dead and create undead, for obvious reasons.

    I'm so glad I asked you that question. Folding/taping the card is an excellent idea. So is the the tear-strip thing.

    Is RPGing a *literary* endeavour?

    I like the original version better. Because there's no way to know how I'd rate the specific session after the fact. I mean, I've never had a session like that that I'd rate highly, but I fully expect it's possible I could thoroughly enjoy it. Theoretically. But your original, I can answer...

    The New Dungeons & Dragons Storyline for 2019 Leaked Ahead of Live Stream

    Ha! I did. In our Stranger Things Starter Set thread, even. Sorry for gloating, I don't get many chances to do so, eh?

    On Presentation, Performance, and Style- Players and DMs

    I used to be intrigued by all the fancy item cards that are available to buy or print, and I used the 4e style item layout with a pretty picture for the magic weapon cards I made for my 3e game. I've been intending to do the same thing for a while, but next time, I'm intending to make them dirt...
