Some of them quite easily in straight up combat. Darklords of Borca are Ivana Boritsi and Ivan Dilisnya, both 0-lv humans. 8hp, AC10, THC0 20. Except poison kiss and poison touch, they have nothing special. Regular humans. In 2ed Domains of Dread, when you read descriptions of domains, they...

That's kind of point of setting imho. Land itself is evil. Darklords could be killed like normal creatures ( roll initiative, drop them to 0 hp, they die, same as any other monster) but they would rise again, or someone else would take their place. They could be defeated ( special ways unique to...

Used it couple of times. It's decent and get's job done. It's faster than scrolling trough google and searching for appropriate art.

One of the core principles of Ravenloft is removal of player agency. What makes it truly dreadful is that in the end, what ever you decided or did, ulitmatley doesn't matter. You killed Darklord? Every domain is in essence personal version of hell for it's Darklord. They are Darklords, they rule...

As someone who has been that 1st person, no, i don't wan't to be that person. Unfortunately, i have some experience with serious trauma and for some reason people seem to find me trustworthy enough to open up even when we aren't really good friends. It's both honor and great responsibility. I...

I have 4 regulars. If i want to run something specific and more than one is not on board, i'm happy to let someone else in group DM's. If no one has anything ready, i'm ok with not playing until someone else prepares their game. Until then, we can play Descent ( as we did on several occasions...

My thinking goes in line with @Scribe. As a player, i'm the one who is responsible with which content i will or won't engage. Same as him, i turned down games. FE i had burnout on D&D and fantasy in general. Told my friends. Offered to run oWoD or 7th sea, but they weren't into it. They had fun...

Even then, they aren't fun. Slowest xp progression,very low hp (unless you rolled at least 15 for con, 2 hp on average), low AC (unless you rolled at least 15 for dex, you have AC 10), 1 spell per day. Lv 1 wizards die if someone sneezes hard in their direction. Giving them name is optimistic...

That one is easy as it requires minimal lore tweak on behalf of DM to accommodate player. Instead of having spider fetish, Lolth now has bat fetish, drow are all about bats, it fits thematically with Underdark and everyone is happy. If DM knows in advance that one of the players has...

I don't. Played only one Wizard in 2ed. It died 20 minutes after first session started in stupid bar brawl. 2hp wizard killed by dwarf sailor with 1d3+1 knife. After that, i go MC route, first 2-3 levels of fighter, than go into wizard. To be fair, lv 1 wizards weren't fun in 3ed. Hp got...

I agree. I met lots of new people trough gaming, including people i now consider my closest friends (one is my best man, 2 others are godfathers to my kids). In my 20+ years of gaming, not one of the groups was friend group first that started gaming together. It was gaming group that became...

Yes, but you will expand your customer base. In the end, WoTC is for profit company. D&D is consumer market product. They want to reach as many consumers as they can.

Ahhh. OWoD. First ttrpg i ever played, and straight into Sabbath campaign. It rocked. But unlike that girl from your game, mine was with group of peps who's idea of good Friday evening was chilling in the historical old graveyard (it's nice place in the center of the city, it was used from mid...

Those word are fine. Problem is, it's not really viable for people who do online only games with players from different cities/countries. While online gaming wasn't that big 10 years ago when last DMG was published, it became very popular due to pandemic.

It's not runing away. It's tactical retreat :D I design world that has inner logic. PC can and do encounter things way above their pay grade and they are told at session 0 that there will be times when fighting isn't best option and that running away is best option. They get enough warnings...

Do coke and wear pastel colored shirt. Half naked chicks in chain mail bikini. Half naked oiled up muscle bound hunks in leather. Epic one liners. Heavy metal soundtrack. R rated, blood and violence galore, with occasional naked boob or ass.

I get it. I always told new people, both in gaming groups and at workplace, if you have any issues, feel free to talk to me in private if you aren't comfortable in group setting. But i prefer to deal with those situations in person. Text messages don't convey body language. While i prefer...

Could you explain a bit if it's not a problem, what would you consider socially acceptable channels? Never dealt with Kiwis, but i had enough interactions with Brits and to lesser degree Aussies. It was in professional setting (first trough NATO joint operations, later in corporate sector on...

But they aren't. Act like an adult means - if you have problem with something, say it. Talk to fellow player, talk to dm. If someone says or does something that upsets you, voice it out. People aren't mind readers. I have low tolerance for passive aggressive behavior and drama. This is hobby, we...

Never heard of consent forms. I haven't played or ran game with complete strangers in years. But i had system for those occasions. Before session 0, i invite whole group for casual coffe/drink hang out. It's good opportunity to get to know people and in casual setting talk about game in...
