Personally, I prefer taking the average every level. It makes the math just a bit easier, and I don’t get crabby about a bad hit-die roll on my last level-up. If others prefer the randomness of rolling, that’s fine, too. I’ve got no fight with you. I am intrigued by “reroll all your hit dice...

My first 5E group included an edgelord Drow Ranger… … named Nicki Minaj. (NOT my character, btw)

Since I switched to online play, I’ve almost always used standard array, unless the DM specifies another method. It’s easy to do with DDB, and it never leads to accusations that I fudged my stat rolls. In one game, the DM had me roll 4d6k3 in the VTT. I rolled slightly better than what standard...

In addition, there may be some classes that are commonly used for a one- or two-level dip. Fighter and Warlock are the ones that spring to mind, though there may be others. If that’s the case, it should be taken into account in all of the “Nobody plays X” arguments.

I mean… we’re talking about a game that has Liches in it. I think we can all agree that the immortal Undead should be WOTC’s new target demographic.

Should have posted this earlier, but… WOTC: “You want the print runs?! You can’t HANDLE the print runs!”

My first 5E group started up in 2016, so the PHB was all we had. The only exception to that was: One player wanted to play a Ranger. The DM suggested an updated Ranger from a UA release. They both thought that was a better choice. Everyone had a perfectly good time, and the lack of additional...

Either: 1. The definitive answer to the fighters vs. casters debate, or 2. The complete text of the DMG… forever condemned to never be read.

FIENDS A sitcom about a half-dozen young, attractive devils, demons and aberrations living in a ridiculously oversized keep in Gehenna. Plots revolve around their romantic lives, and the daily grind of collecting more souls for their Blood Wars bosses. By season three, every character’s main...

Even if the assumption that “teens have no money to spend on D&D” were indisputably true, there would still be a compelling reason for WOTC to pursue the 12-24 demographic: Those “broke” 12-24 year-olds will eventually be 30-40 year-olds with much more disposable income. And if they become D&D...

Who in their right mind would pay money to watch Benedict Cumberbatch play a wizard?

To be fair, if someone would hand me gold and magic items for doing these three things all day… I would take that job in a heartbeat.

I mean… it’s been 40 years since the cartoon. I’ve moved around a bunch of times since then. No reason the kids couldn’t have done so, as well… and maybe gotten stuck in the Realms somewhere along the way.

Posted this in another thread a while back, but I’m sticking to it: A hooded stranger, dressed entirely in black, steps out of the shadows and approaches Chris Pine’s character. He pulls back his hood. It’s Samuel L. Jackson, with an eye patch. “Mr. Edgin… I’d like to talk to you about the...

First: Thank you for creating this thread and keeping it going! Second: Have we done “I didn’t ask how large the room is. I said, I cast Fireball.” yet?

1. Do a victory dance. 2. Target another PC.

2022 was the year I made the switch to online gaming. The in-person group that I played with disbanded in late 2019 due to real-life demands, and as of a year ago, the gaming stores in my area had not resumed in-person sessions. So I got crash courses in DnDBeyound, Roll20, Discord, and now...

Copy paste copy paste … Welp. Don’t need to do any prep for the next several sessions. Thank you, robot overlords.

Currently playing an Artificer (Battle smith), with a one-level dip into Forge Cleric to double down on the theme. For the next campaign, I’m brainstorming a Bard/Warlock combo. The concept would be a musician who struck a deal with an otherworldly entity for greater power/talent (a la Paganini...
