    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse Alt cover?

    So is Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse getting an Alt cover version for my FLGS?

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Look folks, it's really simple: All confidence swindles are based on appealing to the desire of the mark for an easy win. NFTs in gaming spaces, be they TTRPGs or Video Games are built on the pitch to the gamer that they can make money doing something they were already going to do anyway, which...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Feeling like people are arguing with a dealer who is highly motivated to extol to virtues of cocaine.

    D&D General When does the system "work"?

    The system works when it provides a Goldlocks zone of experience. Combat is neither too long or too short, too easy or too difficult. The rules are not too complex to be non-intuitive nor are they too simple so that they fail to cover most things that happen in the course of the game...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    I feel it's a great illustration of how NFTs overall are a scam by design. A geared out lvl 20 wizard has no inherent value because anyone can make one for free. The supposed value here is the permission to play the character on their non existent system. Characters have no value. Play...

    Rivers of London, RuneQuest Gods, Regency Cthulhu Coming Soon From Chaosium

    So I'm jazzed for the Regency CoC offering. I am curious to see if this is in effect replacing the Cthulhu by Gaslight setting for 7th edition. Not exactly the same time period but I could still see the drive to do CbG for the current edition diminished.

    RPG Evolution: D&D's Missing Archetypes

    A martial buffing class (Marshall) and an exclusively summoner class are mt two largest desires that can't be effectively simulated currently to my satisfaction.

    Which properties have the most Canon?

    If we are talking volume, Comics. DC or Marvel. In a stomp. It's not even close.

    How long have you been gaming?

    As expected that these forums don't jibe with the current demos of the game.

    Critical Role To Critical Role or not...That is the question

    So according to the yearly census info that WotC takes on DnD, the current majority of DnD gamers is 30 and under. I am curious if this is reflective of those who engage on this forum, or is it made up of a lot of old men yelling at clouds. I have been watching the 3rd campaign, mostly as...

    Steal From The Vampires And Give To The Poor In Brinkwood

    I snagged a copy based on the premise and it's quite cool. My only petty annoyance: I got PoD and the cover is slightly offcenter and it drives me nuts.

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew monkey race balance question?

    Just feels like they get too many things, imo. One of the dangers when designing a animal based pc race is the desire to give them every attribute we ascribe to the animal. This is not to say they are too powerful, as all told, their abilities are niche, quality of life kinda improvements. It's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggestions about making crusher, piercer, and slasher full feats

    I will say from experience that a Crit from Crusher is an encounter ender.

    D&D 5E (2014) Any cool Skill Challenges you've run in 5e?

    A key plot point in a game I ran was the PCs having to successfully complete a unicorn's tax return.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Starship Troopers (The Film) is a scathing satire of Fascism. Unfortunately, it has the weakness of any satire: If people are into what you are mocking, the mockery may go completely over their heads.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    As a professional, I have to take issue with this assumption. Most people assume they are much more media savvy than they actually are. Look how many people view Starship Troopers (the film) to be aspirational. Fascism is by design slick, stylish and seductive.
