If you object to DnD lacking grounding in a proper time period in terms of technology, I have some bad news for you...

So I was reading the excellent post, D&D General - Spelljammer Collector’s Guide Revisited and got to thinking about what I feel fundamentally hindered Spelljammer from being more popular. Quite simply, classic Spelljammer was a retcon. It radically upended D&D cosmology and history for multiple...

Thanks for this. It really got me thinking.

Thanks all for the discussion so far. I did want to further clarify my intentions. Some people are speaking about the GM not rolling and the rolls of the players determining all outcomes. For anyone seeking a system that does this, please check out the excellent Red Markets. Also, the current...

For clarity, you can note that this thread is not in the DnD section, it is in general RPG. I don't mention DnD or even use the term DM, instead using GM.

A post about "fudging rolls" as a GM has made me ponder. Have you ever considered, as a GM, never rolling dice on your end. Players still roll, you don't. Things hit or miss based on your judgement for what the story needs. If you fudge rolls, you already do this in a sense. You decide that a...

"everyone has the right to an opinion." Totally true. However, if you offer up your own opinion for public consumption, you have to accept it will be subject to public scrutiny. For good and for ill.

Grognards are gonna nard. Its a golden age of gaming. People who don't like the current DnD tone can easily either A: Just run the game with whatever tone they like or B: Buy one of dozens of other fantasy RPGs out there right now, actively publishing, that more fits their needs. Warhammer...

3 Books + Screen +Map +Slipcase. I was expecting a price increase over a singleton book.

$70 is actually cheaper than I was expecting. I was bracing myself for a cool $100.

Still waiting for the Price point and if Spelljamer will have alt cover.

Spelljammer. Let's Go.

I default to using Investigation for research and figuring things out rolls.

Yeah. My expectation is, if the games prove popular, they will either not renew and publish their own version, or like DnDBeyond, buy it outright. However, as all three feel like niche products, I can't really predict what will happen. That said, how many books would you want of any of these...

Please no. How about instead we remove d12 from the rotation.

So I'm new to this debate. What's considered broken about the 5e version of the spell? Sure it is cheeseable, but there are ways foes can get around it should they need to, and the fact that it takes a full minute to cast bars it from being protection during an ongoing combat. I understand the...

I will always trust that greed has no limit but what it can get away with. NFTs are contentious, yes. Good. People responding with rage is that very contention. Rage on.

As someone who is a lifelong DM and has worked with a charity that aims to bring young people with limited means into the hobby, trust me, there is a money barrier. Is it as bad as many other hobbies? Oh no. CCGs spring to mind that's in the geek sphere. Same with wargaming. But even with low...

By third parties.

If there is curiosity about why many are so angrily opposed to this business model gaining any legitimacy or traction, it is simply this: I am not worried about Gripnr. I am worried about Hasbro. If you don't think Hasbro is watching this, watching to see if they can find a new way to monetize...
