    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    Because 4d6 is in the rulebook. When 3d6 was in the rulebook we used that. Now, I don't think anyone is suggesting people be forced to roll dice for character generation if they don't want. Gamers have a choice to not participate in games that play that way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    These are my friends. We don't always see eye to eye. Our friendship is not gaming. Gaming is just one of many activities we all do together. We have had people leave the group. It happens but that doesn't end out friendship. Now though you are changing the parameters of the conversation...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attunement

    Rules are artificial. What worked in previous editions does not always work in the current game. Assumptions have greatly changed and we see people not changing with those assumptions and it causes problems like these. People are changing the game to be something different and not allowing the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    Actually, my current group has been together for over a decade. We have had weddings and births. We have been together through good times and bad. We are all about having fun for everyone. We don't have these problems. The last time I had a player complain about dice rolls for character...

    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    It is your choice to be in that game. The DM tells you upfront what the character generation rules are and you agree to them if you stay in the game. But as you even say with your other examples some times the unbalanced characters are fun to play. Then don't play with that DM. I encourage...

    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    No. If you agree to the dice ruling method and it comes up bad for you then it is not okay to complain. People only complain when the character they feel is too weak. They never complain when the dice work in their favor. If you don't want to take the chance then don't agree to that method of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    With the cake or pizza you are describing a zero sum game. There is only so many pieces and if someone takes too many it has to come from another person's share. In attributes though if one character has an 18 and a 16 it does not prevent anyone else from also having really good scores. But you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attunement

    It's really not that big of a problem if you stick with the limit of three. Once you start changing rules it does cause a cascading effect to other rules. But if re attuning items after death is such a pain in the butt it makes me wonder if coming back from death so easily is not the real problem.

    D&D 5E (2014) Organized play character creation vs home campaign games.

    Honestly, I don't play in organized play anymore because of the problems with the other players at the table. I've learned there are plenty of D&D players that I don't want to play with through organized play. At home I get to invite over only the people we want at the table. It is more then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attunement

    No we have not run into this problem. We are 8th level and we have found just 4 magical items that require atunement. It feels great having a D&D game that once again does not need magical items or feats to work.

    AD&D 2E Encyclopedia Magica

    These are some of the greatest books for D&D because it compiles so much information in a usable form. Some things were over powered and others were just wacky so the players had no idea if what they found would be useful or deadly to them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stink of the City and other unpleasentries, do you pay attention to them?

    I establish that they are there and bring them up in details every now and again. But if the players choose to ignore that aspect of the city then I'm not going to dwell on it.

    New OCCULT ADVENTURES Preview Looks At Auras

    I'm curious once the books is out how many of the colors and emotions will match up.

    Childhood's End

    It is a good book and defiantly a classic in science fiction.

    Pathfinder 1E Anyone else view this character broken?

    Really, the only important opinion is the DM. If he things it is broken then go with that and ask him what crossed the line. I do like the idea of the gnome character. Sure, it is not the most efficient character but it is hard to quantify fun in these games.

    Armada Expansion Packs

    It's odd that they are doing individual small ships. They look like small version of X-Wing game.

    New OCCULT ADVENTURES Preview Looks At Auras

    Sounds like characters will have two dots in Auspex like in Vampire the Masquerade.

    Strange & Norrell on BBC!

    Since some of British TV is only 3 or 6 episodes to a series how is 7 episodes a miniseries? :D I will be watching this.

    CBS-SuperGirl first look

    That looks fun. From reports on the show it is in the license contract that this can cross over with both Arrow and Flash. That could be fun as these heroes are all different enough to interact in some interesting ways. I'm curious if Alex is a Luthor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats: Do you use them? Are they necessary?

    We have not used them at all for 5e and frankly no one misses them.
