Oh, having personal "I wish"s I absolutely get. It's when someone brings up "I'm telling you, Papa John's is definitely going to expand into Italy and make Hawaiian pizza their flagship option for the Italian market!" in every single pizza thread that makes me think "do you really not see why...

Jumping very late into this thread, but personally what I want to use is the "PC describes action and intention, DM decides whether a check is needed" approach, and that is what I default to most of the time: Most of the time, players describe what they want to do, and I say "Make an X (Y)...

So looking to the replies in general, I agree about some points: The Synergy feats that currently exist are generally geared towards specific class combinations (for instance, the barbarian/druid combo explicitly enhances class-specific abilities), and A5E's new freeform spell schools might...

I know vagueposting isn't good form, but sometimes people here seem fixated on this one idea that will never happen due to obvious financial and popularity incentives, and not only do I not understand why they think their idea is plausible, but they never reply to objections to their obvious...

I have to say, I find this argument to be a bit disingenuous. Sure, spaceships and lasers were a thing in Early D&D, but so was indiscriminate killing of "monstrous" races, level limits for demihumans and prostitution tables (edit: seeing that you objected to these examples as a potential false...

I opened an account for the podcast I run with a friend, but I didn't create a personal one. I mostly have privacy concerns, and I refuse to regularly use a social media website that shoves down algorithm-picked posts from accounts that I do not follow down my throat. If they get good enough...

I mean, this has been a distinct possibility since high fidelity character creators have been a thing, so I don't see why it would be a particular problem for BG3.

I don't know, man. I used to be in the same camp as you but then I got a cat. When you don't want the little devils to ruin an entire roll by rolling it out, rolling under is a good way to cat-proof your TP.

I have professed my dislike of OneD&D and its design philosophy quite extensively in these forums. There is, however, one thing that I quite liked in the playtests: Futureproofing class and spell lists by giving them categories. I like the Arcane/Divine/Primal divisions.* I think the...

I remember seeing a dev-diary like video at the early stages of the Early Access, and they were showing some very early models for the romance scenes, and I distinctly recall there being dwarf models involved (as well as some pretty rough mock-ups where said gnome model was... interacting with a...

Well, WotC claims OneD&D will be cross-compatible with O5E in terms of the fundamental math, so I don't see why A5E would need to be updated. Also, a lot of people who like A5E (myself included) like the ways in which it diverges from OneD&D (not abandoning simulationism in favour of things like...

Funnily enough, I find BG1 more fun than BG2 - the game is pretty difficult and deadly (much like lower level AD&D 2E I suppose - whooops, better not carry over the debate from the other thread!), but if you know what to expect (and play intelligently) it's quite manageable. However, BG2's Real...

Aw man, I was looking forward to getting a headstart, but we're already going to play a month earlier than expected so I can't complain. Also, my Baldur's Gate 1 + 2 playthrough just got three extra days! I've yet to deal with the mines in Nashkel (update: just cleared the mines, take that...

My friends and I will almost certainly do the Barbieheimer two-movies-in-one-day sitting. The real question is the watch order...

How do you put Baldur's Gate in plural? Baldur's Gates? Baldurs' Gate? I'm expecting a 900+ page thread about it with multiple mod warnings on my desk tomorrow!

I believe you when you say that you played the game and requested a refund, but this line makes it sound like you simply watched a few trailers about the game and then made up your mind about it. Your first encounters pit you against a bunch of imps and mind flayer thralls, and even the final...

Could you elaborate on this? I want to play the game with my partner and suggested multiplayer constantly, but she's really turned off by splitscreen so hotseat without splitscreen would be a great alternative.

Let's say I've heard some vague info from people who might get some insider info and what they implied was that your hunch is correct. In the teaser scenes with that origin, Bhaal's blood splatters also appeared as a magical effect under them, so there definitely will be some connection to...

I'm really not looking forward to the 2.0. For me, Owlbear Rodeo's greatest feature was storing all my maps and tokens in the browser cache (which allowed me to run a wide variety of things without worrying about paying for a subscription) and having just enough features to simulate a pen and...

The casting time would take several days at least!
