I think that cover is gorgeous. But if it's just a reprint of the same player's handbook with new cover I'm not interested. My first one fell apart and I got it spiral bound. The second one I have is doing just fine. Now I would be interested in a 5.5 edition with the same core ruleset with...

LotCS is a fantastic adventure. I DM'd a group using it when I was relatively new to DMing and they were new to playing, and it worked fantastic. What I highly recommend to make it work well is to make a calendar for yourself, and put down all the events that will happen over the course of the...

Don't tease me.

I really hope it's Planescape and not Spelljammer.

Never been a fan of Pathfinder 1 or D&D 3.5. But Pathfinder 2 intrigues me. It seems to go for the right balance of streamlined game-play and complexity that I'm looking for, and it might address some weaknesses that I see in 5th edition, including equipment, travel rules, downtime, and skill...

In my view, they still didn't get it right with this. The problem I've had early on with my games is that tracking hour by hour, or even day by day, becomes too monotonous and becomes too much accounting. It just seems like work without much fun in return. I really like the approach Cubicle 7...

How sure on a scale of 1 to 100 are you that the remainder sections of the AP will come out as softcovers in the same way as Part 1 has? I wouldn't want to buy part 1 and then be stuck holding the bag and waiting.

Awesome! Will the entire AP eventually be released in printed book format for 5th ed.?

These kinds of threads start arguments, but yeah the real answer is to play the kinds of games you like to play with the kinds of people who like to play the same kind of play-style you do. "Powergamers" as you define them can still have a lot of fun, and if they are, then fantastic. But I am...

It depends on the nature of your campaign world. In my world, wizards are still kind of a rarity, especially wizards of any significant level. And they are not generally interested in making a little extra coin by selling their spells; they are more interested in their books and reclusive study...

It's fine, don't sweat it. Wizards studying and learning new spells is their thing. DMs probably make the mistake of not letting them learn new spells enough, not the other way around. Theoretically, wizards could or should learn most of the spells by 20th level anyway, and they still can only...

I would highly suggest checking on the "Comprehensive Equipment Manual" on the DMs Guild. It has a lot of great herbs listed there.

If you have to ask the question, my guess would be you would not approve for your kids. Different people have different viewpoints and tolerances, so I'd echo that you should watch the episode yourself first and then make the decision.

The first episode was so amazing. It did not disappoint.

I use a house rule similar to Matt Mercer's on Critical Role. I had put the details in here, but then realized you probably don't want/need them, but in short, the first resurrection happens as normal, but each resurrection after that requires a roll to see if it is successful, and it gets...

Have I even once? A bit dramatic, eh? You're talking about two slightly different but related questions here: How informative and accurate the CR system is, and how much variance to an encounter challenge is due to the DM's adjudication of it. With regard to the first question, the more...

These kinds of players wreck a game and frustrate other players, so it's best that it worked out the way it did and he didn't come back. And I would totally let him try on his next turn to jump off and grab a hold of the feather-falling enemy. But it would have to be the next turn since he...

If an 8th level party defeats an ancient red dragon, then the DM is not running it right.
