Hawkye on why playing golf is not for him: "I played 18, I shot 18. Just can't seem to miss."

Me too! My spouse is probably thankful that at least I use stuff that can be put away and stored in boxes. The only thing that stops me from going to town on the bases is that I use terrain, so I generally prefer the bases to be as neutral as possible.

If this thread was focused on just rogues and rangers I would have a much easier time getting on board with the premise. I think the "expert" classes were de facto nerfed by upgrades to other classes with the 2024 update. Rogues used to be arguably the best skirmishers and skill monkeys for the...

This. I've also been inexplicably accused of beatifying Williams, apparently because I've pointed out that a lot of the hate directed at her is blatantly sexist (that is inarguable; there are plenty of receipts that I and many others have cited), and because I've argued that in 1985 she saved...

Terrain is expensive and storage is a pain in the butt. There's no two ways about it. On the other hand, it lets you show off your miniatures, and is a hobby unto itself. So I love it, but I recognoze that it is a niche within a niche hobby. I appreciate that there are places like this thread...

This is, per your usual standards, both an entertaining and carefully argued, meticulously supported OP. Not everyone values the importance of a good citation; as a teacher, I can only say "bless you."

I've been painting up a bunch more Dwarven Forge terrain from the "Lowtown" KS and this is my first build using the modular dungeon tile-style of terrain tiles that were sort of a side project in the KS. They worked great for this kind of build! Plus, I also got to use some of my "sitting...

The friends and family campaign played again last night. Some of the players are from out of town and it is a bit expensive for them to get here (ferry), so we are only meeting once per month, but we've decided to add a biweekly online session. Which will mean more games (yay!) but probably...

That sounds like a game that only has one class, and just calls the same powers different things. Other than semantics, what is the difference between magical mind control guy, and charming mind control guy?

How are you being "penalized"? Having fewer options is a feature, not a flaw, for a lot of folks - I am currently playing a martial class as my main, and in general I have never much cared for wading through a catalogue of spells or other options as part of my game play. It's good that there are...

I strongly disagree that it is "broadly" seen as a problem. I've seen no evidence of that. I think D&D has done a very good job of balancing disparate classes, though as I posted above, if there is a current problem it is with the updated rules making martial classes distinctly OP at tier 1 play.

Latest update from Dwarven Forge on a current Kickstarter that I backed: Note that big "if" in the last paragraph. In other avenues (Discord and YouTube), they've also informed us that all shipping from China is currently paused, and they can't restock their store or complete shipping on...

I’ve read it - it’s good! He has a wonderfully down to earth voice, and his stories are entertaining. They’re not particularly surprising if you’ve ever worked in that industry, though.

My spouse is my favourite player!
