    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Yeah I wasn't a huge fan of 4e art. It was objectively good. I don't want to offend anyone, and this is solely my opinion, but it felt too cartoony to me. I feel the same way about PF art. During the Next playtest, the few Next adventures we got (Murder in BG, Icewind Dale, and that Daggerford...

    D&D 5E (2024) Hypothesis: Playtest 7 delayed to add elements inspired by BG3

    One thing to keep in mind here. People who love to play video games doesn't mean they will love to play TTRPGs. I have several friends who love CRPGs and video games but flat out refuse to try a TTRPG. I know that's anecdotal but I wouldn't count it out entirely.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    We ran Keep on the Shadowfell when it first came out. I thought it was okay. The ending stuck out to me as something we (my gaming group) really enjoyed. I bought the second adventure but we never played it. I wasn't really wowed by it and it wasn't tied very hard to the first adventure if I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion Thread to 5E Survivor - Adventures

    Thank you! It's worth checking out. I definitely don't want to scare people away from it. I'll definitely give it another go in the future.

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion Thread to 5E Survivor - Adventures

    It came out during the Next playtest. It gave you 3.5e, 4e, and Next stats. It requires the DM (and to a certain extent the players) to be fairly familiar with Baldurs Gate. It had some good encounters and true to the description you give they could be handled without combat. There was also...

    D&D General Why the resistance to D&D being a game?

    This is true. That's why I'll always take Gandalf in the debate who would win, Dumbledore or Gandalf.

    D&D General Why the resistance to D&D being a game?

    I agree with you but that's just my "tastes". I know there are many who will disagree with this view. I'm not here to say it's right or wrong. This is how I like to see my "fantasy world" it helps me suspend my disbelief.

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion Thread to 5E Survivor - Adventures

    I loved Murder in Baldurs Gate. It was a great read. My own failings as a DM ruined that adventure when I tried to run it. Well, I won't say it was ruined. I'm just not good at running city adventures or intrigue.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

    We will probably get, hopefully, better instructions on encounter building. That may be the extent of anything monster related in the UAs.

    Before 4e launched was there a "first look" book? I think it's been mentioned (or I made it up in my head). If there was such a book or document does anyone have any pictures from it or a legal way to look at it?

    Wonder if they purposely delayed due to Stanfield dropping? Stanfield? Lol!

    D&D 5E (2014) Phandelver starting to show up in the wild. NewbieDM looks to be the first!

    My redbrands are a secret cult for Vecna. Players don't know that yet and depending on the Shattered Obelisk I may change that, haven't decided yet.

    D&D General Why the resistance to D&D being a game?

    I can only speak for myself and to anyone who cares about my thoughts and opinions. I like video games. I like board games. I like D&D. All 3 of those things I like for different reasons. I like video games for escapism. I logged a lot of hours in Skyrim after my mom passed. I just needed...
