    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    Everyone is the hero of their own story. His attitude seems to have been that the basic concepts all came from him, so all those other creators were essentially riffing on what he gave them, which put him in a different category of creative ownership. The Arneson situation obviously complicates...

    D&D 5E (2024) Stealth Errata

    Yeah, they should just add "hidden" as a sub-condition to invisible, and then just refer to "hidden" in the text, so it reads intuitively. This is why emphasizing natural language rather than creating key words/jargon is a better approach! Me, I just basically ignore the RAW for stealth and...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Glad to see they are following through on this, now that the three core books are published. It's a vital resource for 3PP.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Me either. It’s just donuts and cheap coffee.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Wait...that was the season finale? Man...that sucks. How long until season 2? Great to see Karen Page back! And Punisher, obviously (though his plan wasn't exactly the best). I hope season 2 brings back Jessica Jones. She'd fit in.

    Yeah I just finished rehabbing a partial tear in my right shoulder last year, and now the pec - I'm obviously doing something wrong on that side!

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    Not at all. Both the rule and intent seem obvious: you can't use multi-classing to get around normal spell level restrictions.

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    No arguments from me! Reeves will never be topped in that role. And that film gets Superman in exactly the way that Snyder's films don't.

    Our Physical Fitness

    I seem to have either a significant strain or mild tear in my right boob, so that's a (literal) pain and also gets in the way of my regular routine pretty significantly. Had to do one-armed elliptical machine today, and very low weights - gonna take it easy until it is properly assessed, so I...

    The Bondsman (Prime)

    We have one episode left, and are quite enjoying it. There's been a few unexpected turns, and it strikes a good balance between horror and quirky. Plus country music (which I can take or leave, but I thought the last episode's rendition of "May the Circle Be Unbroken" was quite lovely). Be aware...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    That is the opposite of a selling point for non-Americans, though. It potentially means higher tariffs for us, not to mention the fact that many of us, including basically my entire country (Canada), are feeling pretty negative towards the "Made in America" label these days, for reasons I don't...

    How do you like to handle dungeon mapping?

    If it's a complicated map I use the Maps feature on DDB and unveil it as the players explore. If it's not, I just describe it, and assume that the PCs, being immersed in it, will not have any trouble remembering a couple turns and some side rooms, just as we would IRL. So I remind them if they...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    If sub-par effects are disqualifying, then most of these films are disqualified. Will you believe a man can fly? Not through watching the original Superman; those effects are totally janky by today's standards! Still an important movie (not that great, though; the plot is pretty dumb, with a...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Yes - this. I love a lot of American games companies, but right now it just feels wrong to spend money on American products. That's why I'm particularly glad that Dungeons and Lasers is running a KS right now - Poland is a safe choice!

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    Seems pretty straightforward: "This table might give you spell slots of a higher level than the spells you prepare. You can use those slots but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like Burning Hands, has an enhanced effect when cast at a higher level, you...

    D&D General To multiclass or not to multiclass

    My players usually multi-class for character reasons.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I also just read Livesuit, the "James A. Corey" novella that explores their new setting from a different perspective. It's really good, as well, if you like good, old fashioned battles with aliens. A lot like a less problematic Starship Troopers.

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

    It's not much of an adjustment. Been doing it for awhile.
