I would hesitate to agree with this completely, as I think it goes a little too far in describing the problem. Was it the discussion? Or was it being kids without the maturity to have a productive discussion that can actually be fun to hash out and often broke down because of this? This is...

I run one in-person game, one online using Zoom and a camera pointed at a table with minis (so the table top is not virtual, but the means of sharing it is digital) with occasional Owlbear Rodeo for exploration mode, and play in one game that is just Owlbear Rodeo.

Not sure that I can easily express why I feel this way. Part of it may be that I prefer long form serialized TTRPGs, and as such, the longer a game set in such a license goes on the more chance there is for a conflict between what you want to do and what the setting suggests as part of what...

Well, I’m sure it doesn’t help that most of the fights aren’t very well done.

I jumped onboard.

I was gonna say that my most recent RPG purchase was this toadfolk mini. . . along with a froghemoth, two cultists, and 14 gibberling minis But I just backed the Shadowdark KS at the "Newcomer Level" - which means I'll get print and PDF copies of the old rulebook and new setting books + a...

I am not into playing in licensed worlds, you know stuff based on films, books, and shows for anything more than a one-shot, and even then I would probably just being polite. I would play Laser Sword Space Opera, but never Star Wars. I would play some kind of Supers, even a ruleset based on a...

No one I play with currently has a steady enough schedule for a set day/time to work, so what we do is leave aside time at the end of each session for all of us to get out our calendars and schedule the next one. We lean towards either Sunday afternoons for 5 hours or Friday evenings for 3...

It really depends on how we left things. These days we are more likely to reschedule if someone can't make it, but if rescheduling in a timely manner becomes an issue because one or more other folks who could make the scheduled game have other plans that can't be worked around, we don't think...

At the risk of derailing this thread further, my experience is the opposite (even though I did use both 1e and 2e and later 3e and 3.5e interoperably). That is to say, I felt like I needed to change less to incorporate 1e stuff into 2E (or vice versa) and it was very easy than I did for 3/3.5e...

I'd probably rule that they can try to teleport monster sans druid, but the difficulty of such precision makes the monster save with Advantage. Easy-Peasy.

I want to add that while I 100% understand being picky about who you spend your time with and what on, but no one’s time is so precious that you shouldn’t at least take a chance to meet new folks and find games/gaming you can enjoy. Sure, it might not work out but you might also discover...

Cool! Rough edges are to be expected. We’re just home brewers (every time I go to share something I think is complete, I inevitably spot errors or oversights the second after I click send.). Personally, I have moved away from equating my setting’s languages with real world ones (at least one...

Well, it is certainly A way (and the way I prefer). I’d love to see your chart.

Oh and the reason this thread interests me is because languages feel like a key world-building aspect for D&D - or at least for my general preference and style. So below I have shared a screenshot of the language table (here in PDF form) from the character creation chapter of my current...

As a heritage Spanish speaker, on the other hand, when I worked with people from Brazil we could communicate with some effort and a whole lot of fun as we’d laugh at the funny differences of the distinct but otherwise close languages. When it comes to hearing French I am totally lost, but in...

I often find that complaints of this kind come down to “Please update the setting, just don’t change anything at all. Thanks.”

That explains what I otherwise thought was a very strange position to take.
