I didn’t say the posters are immature. I said the desire is. People are more than one thing (thankfully for them).

It’s cute that you think that would make a difference. But anyway, it is not like I was complaining about just this thread or only threads I have posted, and while Matt Colville videos are the perfect example of this happening, it is not limited to them, but just tired of the fairly immature...

It would be nice if a Matt Colville video could be shared even once on here without it becoming about how people don’t like him or his delivery, and focusing on the topic instead, which plenty of people also do, it is just that it seem pointless that the same people always come in to say how...

There is an old Dungeon Mag adventure called “The Wayward Wood” about a forest that is literally marching out of its usual spot. Part of the way I incorporated it into the campaign at the time was that the place the forest was headed was a swamp. The PCs had a circle of the land Druid among...

This thread has a very simple premise. I will be posting pics of the books I consulted for the upcoming session(s) for either of my D&D 5E games. We only play each of these games every 3 to 5 weeks and I tend to prep enough for 2 to 3 sessions at a time, so this thread won't necessarily be...

1E DMG. ;) But to answer the question as asked (and anyway, the 1E DMG is still a "core book" even if not a 5E book), I guess Flee Mortals! But even that, I have not used very often, or used anything in there as written when I have. Some of my players have subclasses from Tasha's and...

The only time I have said no to trying a game with friends is when I have tried it already and really didn’t like it and felt like everyone else would have a better time without me there. There will be other nights!

I am sympathetic to this and understand the difficulty of scheduling (as a matter of fact I am about to propose a schedule change for my group getting together tonight). I am in exactly the same position (spouses not interested in TTRPGs, including mine) but we find a way to make it work. And...

Yeah. I had to stop watching those. I think that watching multiple hours of anyone extemporarily talking naughty word and getting frustrated with their audience's repetitive questions and assumptions would lead to eventually getting annoyed with things they say or attitudes they express, even if...

I hear that as someone who does only play with two different groups every 3 to 5 weeks each (which comes to about 10 to 13 sessions a year). But we do schedule other get togethers and casual board game nights between those sessions and I would suggest trying another game during one of those...

I have to say that weird thing where people quote your post seemingly agreeing with you but framed in a way as if disagreeing has got to be the thing that drives me out of discussions more than anything else.

I want to play in a game, but wouldn't want to give up running a game to do so. So I don't think fit Matt's definition of a Forever DM. Ideally, I would be both playing and running, and technically I am currently, but the game I am playing in is online and while I like it, I'd prefer an...

I am limiting all cantrips by asking for a spellcheck after each time one is cast. If you fail, it is no longer available until after a Long Rest. So you still get to cast it, but the effort may have temporarily burned out the knowledge of that spell. The spellcheck is based on your...

I just thought people might find this as entertaining as I did.

I know it is still winter in North America but. . . Some people really need to touch grass

Gotta offer to paint the minis for them! (or at the very least a dip and wash to bring out some detail to differentiate).

Does anyone know if this is the kind of book with the big spiral binding in the middle of the 2-page spread. These books always interest me, but when I see that spiral breaking things up in the middle, it breaks me out of it and it is a dealbreaker for me too - but on the other hand, I'd love a...

I voted 3. I can’t remember the last time I had to look something up that was not a spell that we don’t usually use and I count on players to know how their own abilities work, so in terms of general rules for running a game I know them not only well enough to not bother looking them up...

I'm with @Lanefan on this one, and always play out combats. As a player I really dislike when the DM decides to just narrate the end of a combat they assume the PCs will win and as a DM I enjoy the potential unexpected outcomes from swingy dice. Then again, I never see combat as "a waste of...
