    Game Informer, the longest-running gaming magazine, shuts down after 33 years

    I “trusted” their reviews for years. If they did not get 8.5 in GI, it was a generally a waste for me even if other outlets differed. I knew something was up when it got harder to get print copies and the base benefit from a membership at GameStop was a (for me) clunky digital offering...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You are not wrong and yet there is a pull to have an outlet… People are weird creatures (said as my dogs are on the floor with mouths open kicking their feet in the air etc.)

    Game Informer, the longest-running gaming magazine, shuts down after 33 years

    Oh snap!!!! I still had an active subscription as we have like 4 consoles and the kids have gaming laptops… It went a bit sour for me because I liked print copy and they moved to digital. Hated that interface…then it seems hard to access? After that. But I had a subscription and read their...

    D&D 5E (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    I am likely going to do hybrid 5e/5.5 and went from all 5e to a mix to almost surely a mix. I don’t like what they have done with species or ASI so much. And to that end, really was not interested in 5e past Tasha’s (nomordy’s guide to multiverse). But the allure of a well organized dmg is...

    D&D General Wotc disclaimer in old books does not appear in DM's Guild mobile page

    Quick, while everyone is focused on the 5.24 PHB...

    Played some mishmash of basic very early…80 or 81. Dim and hazy as I was very young! But with a few years played and then bought top secret boxed set…and some years on bought the advanced marvel super heroes and finally. The older neighbor kid introduced me to those games. By 13 or 14 tried...

    D&D 5E (2024) Skeleton Entry and Stat Blocks from New Monster Manual

    As tight as they say they are keeping things…the truth is there is probably a lot of interference with previous editions. The author may assume that is how it works and it not be codified in the new book: whoops! Clearly would be better if more explicit…as if the player had never seen any...

    D&D 5E (2024) Skeleton Entry and Stat Blocks from New Monster Manual

    Good question. But I think the magic that Animates dead used to be from the negative energy plan. Hell I may be mixing edition lore. I think a good cleric could animate dead in some wild situation…to man the walls of a besieged town full of Innocents…but think that is a dm question ultimately…

    D&D 5E (2024) Skeleton Entry and Stat Blocks from New Monster Manual

    I won’t try to bait anyone into an alignment discussion. But my take is they are evil aince the black magic that animates them leads them to hate life and if unbound will attack anything that lives. So I think the alignment is descriptive of their behavioral tendencies when not commanded...

    D&D 5E (2024) Another D&D 2024 Monster Preview: The Kuo-Toa!

    I like the new lore better than the older 5 lore. That is a surprise. I am fond of kuo toa back the their cool art on the 1e under dark modules… I have a lot of kuo toa minis on tap with a preorder of Eve of ruin minis…I am a fan of this one

    D&D General I'm a Creep, I'm a Powergamer: How Power Creep Inevitably Destroys Editions

    We were so crossed up about the Lucern..e…hammer that my cleric of Tyr used one. We thought it was a two handed hammer like a maul… Edited for spelling

    Gen Con Sold Out!

    It is something to see…I would not discourage anyone. The crowds are just a lot for me now. I still had a blast.

    Gen Con Sold Out!

    I went last year and it was…big. I liked shopping at Gen con even though it wa shoulder to shoulder with 50000+ of my best friends. The most fun was playing D&D back at the hotel… Skipping this year and considering Gary con instead. On the plus side, my kid got to do a cool Star Wars cosplay...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I feel like we have a lot of slots, usually. I just don’t typically have a party of casters who all keep this in hand in duplicate. How many classes get this spell? I have it for my warlock but like eldritch smiting… I don’t think most of our groups have 3 5th level plus arcane spell...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh. Here I thought it was so we could more easily find our favorite flavor at snack time? Like family style…I think I was the only one who preferred sky blue. But really it’s hazy and I wonder if I was just eating alone?

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I am geeking out over everyone’s projects! It may be enough to get me back on mine… I just bought a case of prepainted minis so I want my dungeon ready for them…I have a month until they are released

    D&D General In Celebration of Over The Top Violence in D&D

    My kids just played a game in which I broke out giant spiders, minis and all. They got a real kick out of dealing killing blows and being coated in juice from the spiders abdomens! Ew gross! With lots of laughs. I would probably not talk a lot about the entrails from orcs but you never know...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I sometimes feel like a dolt! I get together with my pals and play…just play. Really have we “said this is nuts.” My one pal follows treant monk etc and occasionally plays a twilight cleric with silvery barbs. But he uses his power for the party so whatevs… We use counterspell, some. Not a...
