This 100% what I want. Clear examples of how/when rhe dm can use the skill. For example a DM might call for a stealth roll if… Then follow hints for how to set the DC. I would not even mind a few options—-meaning the group’s DM might choose to use it in A, B or C way with some codification...

This whole discussion is not easy for me. I really had so much fun in the freewheeling AD&D days. When the DM made a call it seemed legit and reasonable because I play games with people I like and trust. And yet, I really do like some guidelines and parameters. I have a history of enjoying...

The problem is people worry that other people are powerless to say “no.” Is that true? It is hard to feel left behind. Companies spend a lot of money to convince you that you need “it.” And yet…some of us think it’s on us to say no. Even some of us that sometimes fall prey to the game. I...

I realize I am a dinosaur. Its ok. My kids laugh at me daily! That out of the way… Part of the depth of D&D for me is its historical and mythological correlates. I like clerics to devote themselves to a divine power. Generally gods but I am ok with powerful entities of other sorts at...

100% Which is why I suck as a parent… “Dad, can I have this expansion for video game x?” Uh, do you have any allowance left? “no…” Ok. Just this time (said 4 times a month or more) That is not an XBox/roblox/microsoft problem! That a me problem!!!

I think you are absolutely right. There will be online exclusives and they will try to influence expectations such that people will feel the pull to buy online avatars, rule packs or whatever. Folks have to reject the self imposed pressure for cult of the new/complete. We will see what the...

Love 5e. Right out to Mordy’s guide… Excision of classic half orcs and the tone so far of some art leaves me a bit cold. I do not like most of the changes I have seen so far. However….i might buy and use Part of the game! And SRD…re: skills. I will like treasure tables…just don’t have an...

For those about to rock?

If we have the rules in hand, they cannot move us anywhere. I might play some online D&D…in the most primitive way possible. I have face times when I could not be in person! Of course corporate times will move to some things being name brand only. Of course some people will pay for digital...

I deeply love the d12 to the extent I might use a pike…and… A fellow player uses d12s that have two sides with 1-6 pips each. I probably should buy some…

I must use dice and for a year now, the clear pink ones I got from Gen Con. So many 20s…uncanny. And pink.

wins and losses… Occasional dead characters. But not too many since the DM gets tired of fudging to keep the party and campaign going :)

Left unattended my dogs crap in the kitchen

It sounds goofy to some I am Sure but I was hoping for examples of skills use and different options for adjudication. I hate to say I have been too concrete maybe but stealth and investigate have been a little lackluster for me…and group check I hope I am using well…

With the kids…growing fans!

Be assured that is the rule folks agree to follow; also be assured if I am participating I have no moral high ground in any way. but I can tell each and every one of these is aimed directly at busting my chops and I am therefore elbow deep in a gallon of ice cream. I am crying but only on...

That sucks it. I guess this is a GameStop decision. Will have to think harder about my membership there since it has lost some Value. It’s about a month ago I was in there getting something for my kid and they asked me if I wanted to renew my recently expired membership. I calculated the...
