Another good topic…. That said, the problem with power creep for me is that it is uneven. As stated, the monsters stay the same, generally. This means a DM needs to potentially modify them or increase their numbers…if people want a challenge. But for me, that is the rub. How many people...

I have a basic idea of what WOTC is…and it’s not a small cabal of mustache twirlers. It’s a business with a lot of diffused responsibility. Oh it has a leader but not every small decision is on them. They delegate too. If they produce what I like, I buy. If they do something ignorant I...

Oh for sure—-watching violent porn is not helpful for attitudes. But D&D specifically there is next to nothing out there… And I think very weak for video games…

That is what I am saying! There was a not a big literature on D&D generally but I have ready some very modest correlation with some desirable behaviors. Not big effect sizes…not causal… I have no problem Playing it with my kids. Then again my youngest has played gears of war with me (father...

It’s just a preference for now. Back in college and such we had more evil groups than good and never pretended to be heroes. Maybe I will want to try again someday…today is not that day. I need uplifting more now…

I have feelings about this topic. So I find it a good one. Its provocative depending on how it is discussed… I rescue spiders from the basement typically. We have a ritual for altering rabbits the dogs are about to be let out into our fenced backyard. I cannot tolerate watching movies where...

For real. Fridays much of my staff is out and we don’t have many meetings. I can grind out several days work in that space

Same. I have a pair too and they are essential. I have also thought about the large magnifying glass on an arm/stand as well but for now how glasses. Also have found a headlamp or other light source essential (I often use my phone light with my phone propped up on something) needed too as my...

Will check that out! After dinner it is go time. Brought my minis bag with zombies and giant spiders. Think the kids are gonna get a real kick out of it. Their party consists of a goblin, kenku and a sentient fruit person (faerie stats) but the game play is pretty traditional. They have...

Look…some of you pros likely know this. But I am at a remote location for vacation…my kids and I plan one night of D&D between listening for coyotes and looking at stars… Many of you I am sure use donjon. But I found you can just cut the map out with the snip tool and use “draw” to enter room...

Thanks for the quick reply anyway

Is there a way to combine accounts? I have an old one that was deactivated and a new one that I use. Is there a way to combine them without losing anything?

Some of the most fun I had was when I had to FaceTime into a session. Think I was ill and worried about making others sick. My friend uses a tv and projects a map onto it while it lies in a recessed table. We put minis on that. Anyway, it worked and was fun for me as a player anyway. As...

At the intersection of sanctimonious and purposefully obtuse is ignore street. It’s a blissful street some people are afraid to go down.

The struggle is real. Everywhere there are pundits tearing down things you like without having even watched or played them! For my part I decided my vocal dislike for some D&D stuff needs to be quieter in some respects. I have found that you can just do what you like and offer preferences for...

I assume others have posted these heroes. If so sorry for repeating it…

It was new to most gamers…so the role of DM I suspect was still evolving even to the late 70s. (And still is) The creators and players were coming from hard knocks wargaming. One bad roll can collapse your line and there is no one begging for a “better story outcome.” I doubt he was just...

Just time to unwatch at this point…
