    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    League of Legends, or more specifically, Arcane. I know someone started a 5E setting and you can find the PDF online with a google search but it was never finished or expanded.

    What Do YOU Want The Future of TTRPGs To Look Like?

    Personally, I'd like to see it stay face to face at the tabletop as the default for the game. D&D is THE name brand and will most likely remain the gateway game. However, as long as the hobby continues to grow and draw in new players that is all that matters.

    D&D General To multiclass or not to multiclass

    Under 2024, I am not sure I see a point to multiclassing mechanically. If it helps build a concept you want then, yeah, go for it. In my current campaign only one player has multi-classed. He is now Monk 4/Ranger 1. He took Ranger specifically for the mechanical benefit of Hunter's Mark and no...

    What Mundane Details Are Important In Your Fantastical Game/World?

    For me, probably a calendar with with holy days and lunar cycles is important. For some reason my players like to track such things. Otherwise, bar a few areas, it needs to look what we imagine a fantasy medieval world looks like, so that includes architecture, fashions/clothes, the food people...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is compatible with 2024?

    Yeah. Compatible wasn't the right word. I'm only looking at official WotC options here. I say compatible because at the time the books came out I read a fair few articles and posts, and watched a few Youtube videos that made a point of saying that although a lot of 2014 material was fine, there...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is compatible with 2024?

    Thanks. Subclasses are the main thing I've been looking at. Just wanted to make sure before I add anything in.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is compatible with 2024?

    As I have said numerus times, my group and I are coming back to D&D with the new 2024 version of the rules. So far I have kept it to just material from the new version because I read a fair bit about how a lot of 2014 material wasn't fully compatible or balanced with 2024. I'd like to add some...

    How Much Do You Care About Novelty?

    I guess I prefer the tried and tested trope approach. I like things to be comfortable and familiar. It's easier for most people to get into.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I would argue that 5E doesn't count. 5th edition is 2014 and 2024. A refresh and retidy isn't a new edition, at least not in my eyes. I will cede that basically D&D isn't dead in any edition as there are still people playing 1st edition, 2nd...etc, even if nothing new gets released for it...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    When a game is no longer being published it's pretty much dead, even if PDF copies are available for sale, or 3PP continue to publish material. My experience has always been that once a game or edition stops being published, players jump ship and it's harder to find a potential group for it...

    How to Delay or Avoid GM Burnout

    I had this in my first campaign back face to face after Covid. I had all these cool ideas that I had been bouncing around for the last two years and the first 6 or 7 levels worked really well and then... it just fell apart. The players liked the early stuff and a little bit more sandbox than I...

    Not a fan of the neon or the cartoony gold, but I'm looking forward to the release of this book.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I don't consider myself a conservative gamer but I do consider myself a grognard of sorts with a D&D history going back 40 years. I consider myself inclusive and cosmopolitan in real life and in my gaming. However, I do find that in D&D (and role-playing in general) as well as modern society...

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    Having come from 15+ years of GMing/playing Pathfinder 1st, the Pathfinder adventure paths strong points are fully detailed campaigns running 1st to 16th with room for some player deviation but they are built with the linear (but not rail-roaded) player approach in mind. Interesting stories...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5.0 Retrospective. Races Most/Least Popular (anecdotes).

    I've seen one Dragonborn in a in store one shot game night session. I don't mind them but they don't grab me like other races do. Gnomes are very popular among the people I play with but they tend to just be sorcerers or druids, rather than any other class. Halflings however, rarely ever see...

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    I had everything for the 1st edition and we played several campaigns under it. I loved the character generation system with all the career progressions. I could be interested when this gets rereleased. Only ever played Twilight 2000 once or twice but did enjoy. I could consider picking that up...

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    It's less about year/time gone by as it is the emotions those games provoked then compared to now. I love the classic D&D archetype that was basic, 1st and 2nd edition of D&D, for example. I have great memories of 3.x but it wasn't the same because the D20 system had different mechanics than the...
