    D&D Movie/TV Hasbro Getting Out Of The Movie Business

    The last two movies I saw in the theater were DADHAT and Furiosa. Both good movies that underperformed. Clearly the folks who go to movies alot want something diffrent than me.

    Planning a 3-Night RPG (and hiking) getaway (recommendations needed!)

    Grab an old B/X or 1e module. They are made for 8 or 9 PC and combat moves fast. You could probably knock out G1, G2 and G3, or Ravenloft, or B2. Plus they usually come with Pre Gens.

    nevermind

    THAC0 It's not really a good system but it's fun to say and it made you feel special once you could use it.

    D&D 5E (2014) [House Rule] Swap an action for a bonus action

    In my games it's allowed as long as the DM (me) doesn't think it trigger some sort of game breaking combo. But yeah giving more choices rarely speeds up the game......

    We’re On BlueSky

    Nachos and Mimosas? I'm in, but honestly it's not the first combination I think of when I think British Pub.

    Effective Communication Outside of Game Play

    Being a good Manager and being a good DM have a lot of the same skills. I definitely think I'm better at both from what I have learned at the other. The "bad player, good friend" has ruined many a group. I got no easy answers for you, but a honest conversation about his behavior is a start.

    D&D 5E (2024) No Appendix N Equivalent?

    WOTC is avoiding controversy and so it makes sense they don't include a list of media, Lots of older fantasy has issues.

    D&D General Session Zero and Nobody Chose a Spellcaster

    I'm a 100% for your party composition. If I had my choice modern D&D would be a lot less focused on spells and magic. Back in the day we played 2e almost exclusively with fighters and thief's.

    Players sit down with there family and make a series of increasingly difficult charisma checks to try and hold their tounge as there family members try to bait them with outlandish statements and needless drama.

    D&D 5E (2024) Enspelled items and marketing

    Cantrip like Mending already destroyed the tailors guild (one shirt last forever), and now with this almost any job can be replaced by a cheap magic item so you don't even need to pay a apprentice wizard. The D&D economy is bizarre beyond comprehension.

    D&D General A DMG for all of us

    I'd be fine with a 2 page section on why this is the best style of D&D. I could easily fit my dice in the open, low magic, combat as war, xp advancement through gp/monsters killed, sandbox player agency driven adventures, etc. Including my house rules on two pages with a decent explination why...

    Random House to Publish New "Tusk Love" Critical Role Novel

    Sorry to be the one to break this too you, but Herman Melville passed away. I only got enough juice in my time machine for three more jumps. I'm not wasting one on giving him writing advice. I already spent two off my jumps preventing the destruction of Los Angeles in 2008 and stopping fixing...

    Random House to Publish New "Tusk Love" Critical Role Novel

    So let's think this through if it's written as in world fiction logically it should describe things as someone who lives in that world would view them and not explain or lore dump.

    D&D General Rerolling Initiative each Round

    My preferred method. I've run multiple 1e/2e campaigns using roll every round once you train everyone it's fast especially as those system don't have a lot of options for players. As said it adds more delicious choices as you don't know when each person will go. Will the fire all go off in...

    Why a rapier is bad for an adventurer

    I always house rule a saber. Same stats as a raiper but does slashing damage. Plus sabers are where it's at is what I learned from A Mighty Fortress back in my 2e days.

    In-Depth Review of the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

    Which is my preference. I don't need to know the back story of every rock, or history of the table cloth. Emirikol the Chaotic? Rary the Traitor? I'm sure there are more I just noticed those two on a quick glance.
