    D&D 5E (2014) The Warlord shouldn't be a class... change my mind!

    It needs to be the class because it's the only healer class I ever had fun playing. I guess it only needs to be a class if you want me to heal, or anyone else like me. Otherwise, shrug.

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    Been playing D&D since 1977. I play a lot of OSR games and have played every single edition of D&D. I'm also a Critter. Love me some Critical Role and thinks it's the BEST thing about D&D since Mystara was first created. I love that not only can i play D&D when I want but I can listen to it as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is my DM being fair?

    I do have to say that D&D 5E sucks in that regard. Why the heck would Feats and Multiclassing and Magic items not be accounted for with Monsters? It does make the game more difficult to DM because you either need to rebalance every single Monster/Encounter for those things or just not let your...

    Critical Role Here's The Cover Of The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount; Plus It's #15 In Amazon Bestsellers!

    Love Critical Role and will be preordering the book. Not bad for a neckbeard grognard! They have even converted some of us old Greyhawk and Mystara fans!

    WotC Is Mike Mearls Happy Hour still a thing?

    has not been accused of criminal behaviour Same can be said of Zak Smith. It is something to dismiss if a crime occurs and someone goes online to report it. You want to be taken seriously go to the police. Reporting it to a silly audience is a reason to ignore it all by itself. As far as I am...

    Pathfinder 2E Balancing encounters (and converting stuff from other editions)

    D&D 5E is too easy. Monsters are not balanced verse PC's with:Higher stats from rolling ability scores,Feats,or Magic Items. Add to that 5E's small math issues,Overpowered classes and races and PC's with all of those things and a strong sense of tactics destroy the game. Sure DM's can fix...

    Is Pathfinder 2 Paizo's 4E?

    I have played 5E since it's release after finally changing from Pathfinder 1E. I didn't play the playtest mostly because I was playing 5E. So far Pathfinder 2E is wonderful! It isn't what I would have wanted for a second edition back when I played Pathfinder 1E BUT it's exactly what I want...

    D&D General Holding non-Paladins to their class vows

    I have done it but with a lighter hand. If your a cleric of the God of Strife and War and you promote peace or Follow the Goddess of peace and butcher whatever crosses your path.....you Deity isn't going to stay happy with you. That said"It's a game". I give the players a lot of leeway and when...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin just committed murder - what should happen next?

    One thing that escaped my notice earlier is the wording of the thread Title. Paladin just committed murder - what should happen next? I don't think anyone,even those like myself who see the possibility but for sure not the inevitability of the Paladin being in the wrong, would see this is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin just committed murder - what should happen next?

    I mean that is one way out of many to look at it. You are choosing to see what you want to see,because it's easy. There are just as many ways he could have saved the man as there are ways they both would have died. I agree that most of those ways are not readily apparent but to say it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin just committed murder - what should happen next?

    A encounter you can't win is one of the best things about D&D. Do you Die? Do you go around it? Do you go under it? Do you instead make it your encounter and now you have new followers? I'm laughing at people expecting the game world to be any more fair than the real world is....I mean I guess...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin just committed murder - what should happen next?

    It all depends doesn't it? If you are a normal person on the street and you hear gunfire and people screaming, I am not going to hold it against you for not running in. If you signed on the dotted line and trained and took an oath and made money off being the guy who runs in when you hear...

    D&D General How Long Does It Take to get Sick of an Edition?

    I played Basic D&D for years but left it behind because I was a big kid now and played AD&D. When AD&D 2ed came out we moved to it right away because obviously it had to be better it was newer! By the time 3.0 hit I was DEEP in 2E. Registered that it came out but I maybe flipped through the...

    D&D General Monks of the Blue Ostrich

    My friends and I like coming up with strange little funny ideas about the D&D world that are comical. This was one of them. The King awarded lands and prestige to the Order Of The Blue Ostrich. Not only were they given certain tax free advantages but also holdings all over the kingdom. In...

    Pathfinder 2E Are you moving from 5E to PF2?

    D&D 5E's simple math system is shallow. We are going to give Pathfinder 2E a shot.

    OSR OSR ... Feel the Love! Why People Like The Old School

    1-B/X is cheap. Really, you can buy a hardcopy of Basic Fantasy for $5. So my B/X game cost $5 while my 5E game is up in the hundreds. 2-Less complicated. Rules lite rpg's are just so much easier to run. All that brain space you free up not having to remember 10,000 rules and 20,000 ways those...

    If the show skipped ahead a few years in highschool they prob started playing again off and on again and that carried over into college before dying again. Then fast forward once more till they all have wives and kids of their own and suddenly...the game flares back up and continues from then...

    OSR OSR Gripes

    Every rpg has crap rules. OSR-New Modern...it's all crap. You have to overlook that crap to get at the fun. Rules do not bring fun to the table. I love OSR games just as much as I love 5E. More some days,less others. Mostly I run a crapload of 5E but my B/X D&D game is awesome as well. So if...
