    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Update: 2024 Rulebooks & Survey Results

    Depends on the system and what restrictions there are on firearms; also depends on how firearms are balanced and what advantages or disadvantages they have against bows. If you make them generally like muskets and they require a reload of some kind, that can help quite a bit. It may not work...

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    Could you elaborate on this and provide proof or explanation? Especially on how this can be demonstrated?

    D&D 5E (2014) Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    I think then I'll pick this up at some stage as an inspiration piece ^.^

    D&D 5E (2014) Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    ... huh. Okay, let me clarify. A good sensitivity reader or anyone even REMOTELY aware of the history of some of this stuff could have caught that.

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    He is banned from the site, but beyond not initially understanding why using a trans person's dead name to refer to their work in the past was bad and stating his criticism in a way that can be extreme* - as far as I can tell he's not a bad actor (i.e. bigoted or promoting hatred; done...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    A sensitivity reader would have prevented Wizards printing racist dumb naughty word in Spelljammer, so excuse me if I think that the job is important and taking their concerns seriously instead of boiling it down to the 'arrows of social media'.

    What Property That Has Never Had A TTRPG Adaptation Deserves one?

    Deus Ex would have such strong potential, no matter whether you're doing it during the time of Adam Jensen or J.C. Denton. An immersive sim with the right collection of rules (maybe rules light, or at-least something flexible?) combined with great rules on how to make quests and 'dungeons'* with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    Hrmmm. Asmodeous gettign all atheists - doesn't this reintroduce the Wall of the Faithless again, but slightly less worse? That is... naughty word, in my opinion; I do get that opens questions of 'why is the Forgotten Realms cosmology so naughty word up?', but it'd be nice for those questions to be...

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    They have promised to errata Runelords at some stage - it sounded as soon as some point next year.

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    I would not say they are 'game ruining' level of bad, but I am also not a fan of them, and think they should have clarified the rules to go the other way. I personally in my home games will be running it how I was running before, but its difficult to know how it will change player behaviour or...

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    Dependent on the country, really; the BBC lacks advertisement*, so if you primarily watch that, television with ads is a different thing. * besides for other BBC programs.

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    That's probably the clearest term yeah.

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    Here's a term I have thought of: 'Metroiding' the dungeon, or 'a Metroidvania dungeon'. Essentially, a dungeon similar to a region in Metroid - with multiple pathways around the dungeon or area; some of which may require effort or upgrades from the user.

    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    Well, not in the specifics, but genre wise, I would argue a game like 5e or Pathfinder 2e are pretty good at doing heroic fantasy... it's just heroic fantasy where 'who are the heroes who make it or not' is not predetermined, and the heroes can get unlucky to the point that it can become very...

    Pathfinder 2E PF2 Remaster PDFs have been sent out! Talk about/ask questions about them here.

    How's the layout and flow of the rules? Does it feel easier to read and learn from? Does the clarification on Recovery Changes and how they work surprise you, or was that how you were running things before? How do you get access to formulas for crafting? Are there costs associated with them...

    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    It's complex. It is a very different system compared to 5e from the core, but all these have an impact: Three action system changes up dramatically what you can do on turns - specifically, Martials can do multiple attacks per turn if they want. Attack of Opportunity (in the Remaster, this is...

    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    That's not really fair if you want to play in person and can't find a Pathfinder 2e game though. I'm not sure I could find a Pathfinder 2e game in person - and I would be the person running it! That is why I specified online games - which may not be everyone's cup of teas. Granted, I think...

    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    That is not really true. Here's the classes that have been released since the Advanced Player's Guide (which I will consider part of the base game, especially since in some ways they will be after the Remaster books moving some about). I will put in Italics classes that are not primarily...

    D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

    Considering Pathfinder 2e is pretty successful and doing quite a bit better than even Paizo hoped, I think it does have outreach beyond vocal forum people. If people are unhappy with 5e's balance, particularly with Caster / Martial imbalance, and particularly for people looking for something...
