    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Also, didn't the internet play a part? For the first few years, you couldn't just Google 'druid power build' and get a recipe for making your DM cry. You had to build from what you had in your books. Modern games have to take that into account. That's what I like about PF2. They tried to lift...

    D&D 5E (2024) Nerf to magic users?

    Just look at this. The difference is stark. It's like a NY Times front page next to NY Post.

    D&D 5E (2024) Nerf to magic users?

    I just can't take these shocked YouTube faces any longer. It has almost become a meme at this point.

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    Wow. Just wow. So what you’re saying is that the layoffs are more about looking proactive than something actually needed for the financial health of Hasbro? That sucks.

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    This...I didn't see coming. Especially since WotC seemed to be doing fine. Also I don't really get the "boycott"-mindset. There is nothing strange or weird about companies downsizing. Wishing for more ill to befell those left seems.....weird to say the least. What I'm thinking is that I wish...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ben Riggs speculates on 2024 D&D and the OGL.

    Why would they release the SRD before the books? Has that ever happened? Can’t imagine why WotC would do that. And the argument hinges on that.

    D&D 3.x Ben Riggs shares Sunless Citadel sales numbers

    Honestly I kind of feel this isn't really true. Paizo did some great APs for sure, but man they also penned some duds. Also their APs are known for containing way too much grinding and battles whose only purpose is to pad XP points. Further I don't see any PF2 AP becoming very popular yet...

    D&D 4E Let's Talk About 4E On Its Own Terms [+]

    Great thread. There is so much I just love about 4e. I want to mention just a few things: Easy to prep monsters. At the moment I am GMing a PF1 campaign. And there's also things I like about PF1, but prepping 3.P monsters is like a full time job next to 4e monsters. How power descriptions...

    Great input. I think I will try to do a one shot in it and see how it goes. But there are so many interesting games on the horizon: 13th age 2nd ed, PF2 Core Remastered, D&D 5.1, and then also SW Pathfinder.

    Ok thanks. That is helpful. I’m currently GMing Giantslayer in PF1 and mostly like it. But I would like to run Curse of the Crimson throne soon and perhaps in something other than PF1 because: It feels a bit archaic Really don’t like Vancian casting Prepping monsters takes a looong time and I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    Yeah kinda agree. But instead of getting annoyed by his style I mostly ignore his posts. Much prefer the style of Mike S, Shawn M and Teos. The kind of D&D-beer-and-pretzel style game I play with my group doesn’t require a Justin Alexander approved adventure. But if you like that kind of stuff...

    I recently bought Savage Pathfinder, and this thread has gotten me more interested. But I am thinking why this instead of normal PF. Why would I play Savage Pathfinder instead of just the original Pathfinder? Why prefer one over the other? What does it bring to the table that Paizo Pathfinder...

    Pathfinder Playtest Updates and New Releases

    Just wanna stress how good New Paths Compendium is. One of the best PF1 books out there.

    Grade the Pathfinder 2E Game System

    Yeah. I will say one thing I like about how they organized feats in PF2: it's much easier for the players to look at these 10 feats that's specific for e.g. Rangers, than trying to get a handle an the HUNDRES of PF1 feats. Yesterday when biking to work, I thought if I could somehow make it...

    😆 This is what PF2 players keep telling me. And you might be right. The thing is though, reading through class feat often feels underwhelming. It's the same thing with the "every +1 counts"-paradigm in PF2. It just didn't fired us up. Now it's totally a "us" thing, I'm not saying PF2 is a bad...

    Yeah - forgot that one. I use the Monster Menagerie for 5e. And it's such a good monster book.

    Grade the Pathfinder 2E Game System

    Tried it. Played Quest of the Frozen Flame (or what it is called). Wasn't impressed. Class abilities was disappointing and not very interesting. I remember reading something like as a Barbarian I could get a class feat that allowed to be intimidating when raging. Whaaaat? Isn't a raging...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    I can't really see what's wrong in any way with that review. It has the brashness of being young in the late 90s.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    I miss Mike being part of D&D actually. I think he had some good ideas in both 4e and 5e. What is he even working on now? Still at WotC?
