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.

I am having a hard time parsing this response. So you are saying it not fair to say if a mage hand is limited to lifting 10bs, it can only apply 10 lbs of force - ok, so how many lbs of force can it apply? I was literally asking that.

Hey all! So I have a full and working draft of every chapter of my homebrew rules available on Google drive for those interested in downloading the PDFs - just let me know and I will share the link. I am also doing the first playtest session this Wednesday and hope to be scheduling more in the...

Oh and because I love to drop references to it and because others mentioned D&D sources themselves as inspiring media (like BG3 and Critical Role), my compiled story hour of my "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign has a higher word count the Lord of the Rings (approximately 480,000 words vs...

I can't speak for others, but I think limiting what inspires D&D players to fantasy is a missed opportunity. For example, for fun but also for inspiration for my current homebrew setting, I have been watching all the videos on the fantastic history You Tube channel, Historia Civilis esp. the...

I was gonna say this (I do love it) but for me it is the original U1-U2-U3 modules that are the classics, and GoS is riding that wave. (and there have been more recent classics than those, obvi)
