    Does anybody else experience "DM's High"?

    I absolutely get it. I'm always anxious before a session. But once it starts, I get in the flow, I feel in control, I feel competent. When the session ends and it went well I get this rush. It's both energy (I get reenergized) and a creative rush. I immediately feel the need to go prepare some...

    What fantasy system and setting should I try?

    I would suggest two games: Forbidden Lands and Symbaroum. Both are by Free League Publishing. Forbidden Lands This is Free League's response to the OSR movement. It's lowish magic. There's casters classes, but you don't cast a ton of spells and their pretty impactful. There's few magic items...

    [VTT] Going Back to VTT Instead of Live Play

    Same. I tried playing online and I absolutely hated the experience. It's exactly the same difference as doing a work meeting face-to-face or doing it in video call. To me, it was so different that I would even call it a different game/activity. Missing out on the energy of people around you...

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    This is down to a matter of perception and projection. I've just rewatched the clip and I absolutely get no pouting or anything close to that from him.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    The initial meeting felt a bit natural, yes. But they continued together for very little reason and the party was effectively multiple sub groups not trusting each other for quite a bit.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play the Different Editions of D&D? (+)

    2e: Played one session of it in, if I remember well, 2000. 3e: Played from 2000 to around 2005. 4e: Played from 2008 to around 2013. 5e: Played from 2016 to present. I'm probably DMing my last campaign with it though.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    That's not my reading of the situation. He looked both shocked and amused (as he does everytime something like this happens). Sam does things like this all the time and it is arguably a good thing from a spectator point of view.

    D&D General Your favorite way to start a D&D campaign?

    I like to start with the group arriving somewhere. I think strangers in a strange land is very effective. We generally talk about what would make sense in session 0, and in session 1 I present them with a fantastic location in which they arrive. I always try and offer a healthy mix of a few...

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I agree. I was a bit apprehensive that they'd throw projector elements at us to showcase it, but I really enjoyed how subtle and moody it was. The way they currently used it is actually something I'd enjoy having at my table. I knock about half the episode just by having it play while I'm doing...

    D&D General What are you prepping for your next D&D session? (+)

    Session yesterday was cancelled. So I get to work and prepare for the following sessions in advance. I've given them some clues and rumors as to a mountain that used to be the mountainhold, Berk Stolz, under the rule of Clan Glasseyes. In the weeks prior to the Shattering (a cataclysmic event...
