The reason why so many periodicals are failing IMHO is that the editors and publishers can't resist interjecting their politics into the product. You can publish a magazine without insulting 75% of your audience. I think if they keep the politics out then a relaunch of Dragon would succeed...

It's good to know that Jeff Bezos has sons to hand his wealth down to instead of just the state (death/weath tax :p), ex wives, and future mistresses. Maybe Bezos will buy Wizards of the Coast if Hasbro does sell in a few years as rumored in another post around here. Then he can use the IP...

Wow, with his money he could hire the entire cast and crew of Critical Role to run his games every week like some rich people hire rock bands to play at their kid's birthday parties. I can only dream.

We use Roll20 for map and background music and Discord for voice. The dynamic lighting is overrated. Roll20 will work on a tablet like the iPad and I think the Galaxy tab, but not on an iPhone or Android smartphone. The character sheet is pretty good. If you buy the digital books then their...

Staff of charming plus high charisma. Think Charles Manson with a bag of weed. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the spell ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you. So after an hour the creature realizes what the Mad Mage has done, but that doesn't mean...

Hi guys, I just want to follow up and say I finally multiclassed into fighter 6/forge cleric 1 today with my character Bjorn today. I told myself I'd only do it if my character found a pearl worth 100 GP. That's the material component for the Identify spell (a forge cleric domain spell)...

I like the base for the flying carpet. It looks like stars in the night sky. How did you achieve it? Really nice job all around.

11?!? Wowsers! I've just started painting for the first time in over 20 years thanks to Pogre's inspiration. I was never any good and all the YouTube guides haven't helped my technique. :cry:. I may just stick with washes and dry brushing because layering and blending is beyond my skill...

Godspeed. I just went through the same with my mom. It can be frustrating for both you and your parents but ultimately you will find it a blessing to have been able to be there for your parents.

How about pulp Cthulhu where you guys are adventurers in the vein of Indiana Jones? Less horror, more pulp action and adventure with fantasy and sci-fi. It's an easy system to learn. My other suggestion is to roll up Adventurers League legal characters and do their one shot adventures using...

How about nature and spirit worshiping druids? Or they are all heretics with no healing magic, only warlocks and sorcerers. Their fecundity makes death and injury of an individual not a concern. They may even practice eugenics.

Yep. And as they move, more area is revealed so they keep moving until the DM notices. Soon your party is 100 feet or more apart. People forget that is at least two combat rounds before your allies can get to you.

I hate the dynamic lighting on Roll20. Our DM doesn't enforce a marching order and allows people to move their tokens willy nilly around the map until combat starts. This leads to the party being spread out when combat starts and several near TPKs. If you do use it, try the advanced fog of...

In our DM's defense, we had a metagaming player that immediately killed Kreeg as soon as we saw him and took the shield off the wall. I don't know if he was forced to reveal it early because of the kicked player. I think we tried searching Kreeg or something and the DM said Kreeg jumped up...

In the picture our DM showed us which I think was from the source book, he wasn't human either. What was he?

You are correct, but I'm getting into miniature painting and have read about object source lighting (OSL) which gives the illusion of an object being lit by a light source or giving off light. 😉

I have a question about Thavius Kreeg, the former leader of Elturel that made the bad bargain on behalf of the city. I'm not sure if I could Google this, but I want to avoid spoilers so I thought asking here might be safer for me. So this guy is a devil, right? How the heck did a devil become...

I agree that the CGI was distracting but I got over it and the cutesy faerie stuff about halfway through. I like Guang's interpretation of Maleficient shape shifting into a phoenix, but I thought it was a cockatrice when I first saw it.

The Adventurers League at my FLGS has at least 3 DMs that bring 36" monitors to the tables. You can buy 3rd party content for maps or modify them to create your own. Like photoshop there are different layers to the digital map. The DM layer has everything in on the map. You move what you...

I went on Twitter looking for all those gatekeeping tweets all the way to January 12th and couldn't find a single one. There were only tweets complaining about gatekeeping. Can someone send me a link or three to actual gatekeeping? I read one Reddit thread with over 250 comments complaining...
