Castle Dracula Dracul/Draco/Dragon, whatever. Vampire shadow dragon second form. Against the Idol of the Sun 1. Random encounter as they're crossing the ocean with an aquatic young dragon that climbed onto their ship at night. The group figured out really quickly that he was (a) arrogant and...

Watched a couple of more over lunch time. So far all of them seem to have a theme of loss of humanity, disconnection, and death. The Warhammer 40k episode was the most optimistic (!) followed by D&D, although D&D still seemed like a loss because (Spoiler, if you've seen it you know why). I am...

I feel like I've seen that dark Pac-Man before somewhere. But yes, do not recommend that one. Pac-Man In Name Only. Yick. I don't even recognize some of the other IPs. I didn't see Mega Man yet. I guess the other half drops next week?

That was great! Very well done, recognizable D&D without being too "I shout the names of my abilities." I didn't see a specific subclass for the monk. Druid was probably moon given the wildshaping. Edit: The Unreal Tournament episode was even better.

I found BG1 to be much harder than BG2. Traps are more frequent and deadly, characters have fewer hit points, and characters miss a lot more often. I only beat BG1 once. I have solo-beaten BG2 with every character class, but not TOB. The easiest BG2+TOB party I ever played had no full...

Is it Baldur's Gate I & II, or is it Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I & II? They are very different games.

My custom DM screen (via Etsy seller): Player-facing Owlbear, Castlevania 2, Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2 DM-facing

After 150-something Robot Masters (I don't know anything beyond about X3, but there are at least 3 Zero games and a Battle Network), it's hard to come up with new concepts. Releasing remakes isn't going to get them very far, since you can still play the originals pretty easily, and most of them...

I'm really interested in the Mega Man one. I hope it's kid-friendly. My boys have run through Mega Man 1-6, and they're up to X2 now.

^^ What he said. Do a one-shot at 3rd level or 5th level and try an Eldritch Knight or Paladin out. "Use weapons and magic" covers Artificer, Bladesinger, Paladin, Ranger, EK, AT, Warlock, Bard and leaves out only Sorcerer, Monk, Barbarian, and Druid.

If you're planning on using 5.14 instead of 5.24, D&D Beyond is currently intermingling the two on character sheets with no way to turn off the 5.24 components during character creation. You can ignore them, but only if you know you need to ignore them. I've seen it end up with some pretty...

If she doesn't get back to you within 24 hours, you may be better off doing an in-person visit to discuss it.

The poll options are a bit hyperbolic :)

What walls are you hitting? I am 50 sessions into my BG2 campaign, with the party just about to enter the Underdark. Campaign log is here: https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?656408-Baldur-s-Gate-II-(5e-campaign-log)

These tokens are pretty great. https://diceofrolling.com/products/battle-tokens There's one for every character class (except artificer), plus a selection of monster-suitable ones. I see that they've added a dragon token + expander since I bought my set.

My wife has been on a kick of listening to or reading audiobooks and has gotten into some of the stuff that's adjacent to urban fantasy. Apparently old elf/vampire/lycanthrope/secretly a dragon/secret king/etc. etc. meets younger woman is a pretty common plot line. Meh.

Stats were rolled (4d6b3) and I had 17, 14, 12, 8, 8, 7. I ended up playing a bard! This is the first time I have been a PLAYER instead of a DM IRL in over a year and a half. My party ended up being: My bard Another bard (the player was a bit confused by DNDB defaulting to 5.24 rules; he went...

I added Cleave Through in my current in person game. We have a swprd-wielding rogue, NPC fighter (run by a player), cleric who uses the Flail of the Ages a lot, and a sorcerer. In 41ish sessions, Cleave Through has been remembered exactly 0 times. Too situational and fiddly. The big boost is...

I think this could work, or it could flop. The devil's going to be in the details and how you handle it with the players. I think it's worth discussing with them and giving it a try. Having some mechanical benefits helps, also. "You remember picking up a strange spear wielded by the...

After a discussion in the Weapon Mastery/Complexity thread, I was listening to Ginny D's D&D with ADHD video and realized that my cleric who can't remember some of his class abilities or find things quickly on his character sheet is probably ADHD or ADD. I have designed a one-page character...
