    Request: Sub-Forum for WOTC/Hasbro Post

    I am less interested in corporate news than some folks…I know there is a place for many interests. I can pass by what is not interesting. But the interjection of WOTC sux! At every turn is overdone. Even more annoying is when this becomes an indictment of whole political/economic systems...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Not only do I like the paint job, I think that is a cool model. I wish more fantasy minis and art had a more grounded but detailed look like this. Super cool

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    Sorry don’t want to interfere with the current debate…just wanted to offer an alternative. With regard to “salute” would the person hearing this salute open hand facing out like the British or flat like an American salute? (No, I don’t know the technical terms). Yes, I know this is D&D but my...

    D&D 5E (2024) Its Ironic That Fire Goliaths Make Better Celestial Warlocks Then Aasimar Do

    I am writing up a Zariel Celestial warlock. Nice synergy with the bonus to fire and radiant damage. Not for one second do I lament this…nor the armor prof for my mountain dwarf blade boon warlock. I mean tiefling should always be better warlocks too I suppose. I don’t know what 2024 will...

    D&D 5E (2024) Its Ironic That Fire Goliaths Make Better Celestial Warlocks Then Aasimar Do

    The game is not “hard” most of the time. Play what is interesting. Yes, I still use racial ASIs. Playing suboptimal (not ineffectual) and unexpected things makes the game more colorful.

    WotC D&D Hiring New Game Designer Months After Firing Many

    WS this just saving money? Or were they looking to change direction? In the first case (yawn). Happens all the time. Some industries are very unstable. Sucks to get canned and don’t wish it on good workers… In the later case would love to know why the need for a change…

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I find it hard to argue about something I have not read or seen…and harder still to find conspiracies within conspiracies where there is no malfeasance. I do however find it easy to dig in and enjoy what I am doing with the good chance that is how it will stay…

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    I remember getting some metal minis in college but thought it was really cool that I used a d4 as a campfire in the middle of the table… Theater of the mind with the most basic props…I do recall using dice for characters marching order. Love minis now though…love terrain but some Of the most...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think I am a chump. While people quibble about stuff I am thinking “f it! I would play another celestial patron warlock but this time with a Zariel tiefling!” We are watching LOTR as a family and I and digging Gandalf all over again. “picture it! Sicily 194–…no I mean Zariel tiefling...

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    They are so so spoiled…they sleep in my bed and I feed them bits while I pack a lunch for work…I like them better than most people by a mile

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    Is my wife reading this? Of course I do! Small quantities, nothing too bad. Just enough to make them asshats

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah man…I hear that. But sadly doing for the family really locks a person in. By the time I pay for kids sports, pets, housing and transportation… Ok and my miniatures… my game hobby expenditures are kind of up there…damn. Hypocrisy!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    people are people I just mean being at a distance from it is what I want. Go be entitled “over there” all you want. So maybe crowding is a big part of it like u say. My family takes “rural vacations” for the most part. No offense intended at all, but I would rather eat spiders than stand in...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I am doomed by my human attachments for now. My wife would go to SD in a heartbeat… But aging family etc…kids sports… Maybe to retire though? I am so tired of people…it’s hard to put into words. I want to avoid angry and entitled behavior…crappy driving, crime, crowding. A lot of pop culture…

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There comes a time when you realize people are simply using a game differently than you do. They are playing with a vastly different group with vastly different expectations. And it’s cool! But our discussion has relatively little to do with the game itself anymore and one of us knows it…the...

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    I have my dungeon table marked in 1 inch squares…but when we move “outside” onto my foam terrain and grass mat, its my bendable ruler or similar. 1” per 5” has never been an Issue that way. And if it’s close the dice can decide a few millimeters if anyone would actually question.

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    A long sword does or did 1-8 dmg. A player could eviscerate innocents at will if they were so inclined. Maybe not without world consequences. I don’t think the rules mechanics are the only tool to stop undesirable game behavior. Someone using command to make someone self gratify falls under...

    D&D 5E (2024) Command is the Perfect Encapsulation of Everything I Don't Like About 5.5e

    I am 100% withholding judgment until I can look at a book. I keep going back and forth about it… So far I am likely to get DMG. Will know more about PHB and MM later. I don’t know how telling this spell really is…just one little data point.
