    NPC Deception/Persuasion and player agency

    A guard jamming their pike into a PCs guts interrupts their agency. A ravine being too far to jump across interrupts their agency. If your game has social or mental systems use them. If a player elects to have poor stats for said interactions, knowing that skills using them will come up, they...

    D&D General Muscular Neutrality (thought experiment)

    Some psychotic posts here. Muscular Neutrality is the "Some good people on both sides" of DnD. It's a relic of some really wrong thinking navel gazing nonsense from people achingly entrenched in privilege. "Oh oh. Too much joy in the world. Need to up the suffering index." "I mean, there is...

    What TTRPG Is Perfect and Complete In One Volume?

    It was, imho, the best use of the Storyteller system that White Wolf ever produced.

    What TTRPG Is Perfect and Complete In One Volume?

    So "perfect" is a very high hurdle. For my answer, I guess it would have to be a game that had no supplements or if it did, they either added nothing or just were so inferior it just made more clear that all you needed was the main book. Furthermore, said book would have to leave no real ideas...

    It's Time To Vote For 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPGs!

    I kick-started Victoriana, so it is the big one for me. Daggerheart also has my attention.

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    Some really solid ideas here. Thanks. Only bit that I'm less all in for is the heritage variety solve. But that comes down to GM style and how willing one is to enforce option limitations. All told, some great pitches here.

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    On the short list of things that would get me to quit DnD.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Kinda resentful that I am going to keep seeing this gormless fool's face on the opening screen when I log on here for the next few weeks.

    WizKids Reveals D&D Red Dragon Tyrant Figure, Coming July 2025

    It's perfectly practical, for you. I already have issues with minis that drastically extend past the base on the table. In this pick, the wing on our right is in essence a full additional base wide if not longer. Again, for me, a lovely plastic statue, but a likely impractical gamepiece...

    WizKids Reveals D&D Red Dragon Tyrant Figure, Coming July 2025

    So, it looks gorgeous.... But those wings, just not practical on the table at a game. A display piece.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why 5e? Bringing Back the Cheesecake Factory!

    Totally thought this was going to be about a radical regression in art direction for the product line that was incoming.

    Peregrine’s Nest: Our Brilliant Ruin Review (Studio Hermitage)

    Is it just me or does this thematic space seem to be popular right now. Downton Abbey Magical Investigators.

    Trailer LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy | Official Trailer

    So lets break this down: It's not announced. If they were in the process of making a game, then it would make sense to announce it along with the show. Now, perhaps if the show does well, they might then produce a game. But this isnt likely as game production takes years. Lets be generous and...

    Trailer LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy | Official Trailer

    Totally true. But I saw nothing announced so that likely means its not in production.

    Trailer LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy | Official Trailer

    I have to admit that I thought that this was going to be a game. It just being a show is super disappointing.

    GMs: Do you have a "Before" race for your setting?

    In my current campaign the PCs are excavating a huge city underground that belonged to a race of Necromancers who came from the stars. Researchers call them the "Ur."

    Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player's Handbook Is Already Getting Errata

    I buy the book. I wish to use the book to run my game. The book does not in fact reflect the rules of the game. In order to use the rules as written, I have to use the online version. The book no longer represents the game. But that said, Ive stated my position. Moving along.
