    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Yeah, it's not like TSR had some kid-friendly mascot in order to entice younger players... Oh, hey there, Morley!

    D&D General How much do you care about rule change specifics?

    Only if I'm forced to deal with it. If I'm the DM, it comes down to how easy or hard it is to houserule it away. As a player, it comes down to how easily I can avoid interacting with it. Like, if a DM introduces "crit fails" in his game, not really a fan, so I might elect to play a...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    I mean, there are prisons a lot harder to break out of than Arkham. Or hey, just ask Superman to dump the Joker in the Phantom Zone! Problem solved!

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    My take on this is that Batman's quest is one that can never end, because if he succeeded, then there'd be no reason for him to be Batman. Subconsciously he knows this, which is why he'd rather toss his villains into an easy-to-escape asylum rather than a true super-max prison- it's a form of...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I had such high hopes for Iron Fist, since I'm a fan of Heroes for Hire. But without the friendship with Luke Cage (which only somewhat manifests later one), the story flounders about, feeling like the worst parts of Arrow. Jessica Jones is a bit uneven as well, but any time Killgrave shows up...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I don't think The Defenders is necessary. It's pretty strange and felt kind of half-baked, if I'm being honest.

    One innovation per edition

    And we had Half-Dragons and Dray (not to mention Draconians) in AD&D.

    D&D General What races/species populate your DnD world?

    So in my campaign, the characters were brought from their own worlds through mysterious means. Despite being members of unusual species, so far that they've noticed, no one seems to bat an eye at them- I have a Changeling, a Trollkin*, a Shadar-Kai, and we had, but have since lost, an Orc and a...

    Don't forget the Binder! But uh, do forget the Truenamer, lol.

    Yeah but it sure made the rounds for awhile, didn't it? By the way, Lethal Weapon is a better Christmas movie. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) Potion miscibility, permanent effects and using potions in the future.

    I look at it this way. If you don't want a particular result to happen at the table, you shouldn't make it possible in the first place. By using the potion miscibility table, the door was opened for a character to become incredibly powerful. Retroactively trying to nerf or balance this after...

    For another example, 3.5's Dragon Shaman with their draconic auras.

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    If Robocop is a superhero movie, that shoots it up towards the top. I never saw it that way (well maybe Robocop 3) because while Murphy does have superpowers (being a cyborg), the focus of the movie isn't so much on superheroics as showing us a dystopian society and confronting the Ship of...

    D&D 5E (2024) "No magic items are necessary" vs Magic Items Awarded by Level

    My campaign is magic item-rich, because it really doesn't matter. Even though I increased the amount of Attunements to 1+proficiency bonus, and make sure that every item still does something even without Attunement, most of the magic items go in the loot pile because competition for the...

    Can I vote for 75% of a movie? If so, Hancock. If not, Defendor.

    Oh very much on and off again. Matt's a good Catholic boy, he's not happy unless he's suffering.

    Oh so high Dexterity makes your AC worse then? Take your insults elsewhere, please and thank you.
