    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    As someone who has seen almost all of their side videos featuring other game systems, I just don't see them so inexorably tied to D&D. For me, it's a lot like Baldur's Gate 3 - the D&D brand gave them the initial momentum it needed to catch on, but now it's so far beyond the need for D&D.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    It's entirely possible I misunderstood. It was an odd statement, and I've rewatched it over and over and they definitely say "Both." But I wouldn't know how they could do that without things being very weird. Maybe they are just including all their side projects under the umbrella of Campaign 4...

    Just a funny playtest report I saw posted on Bluesky. Spoilered for language and goblins.

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    I personally prefer the Hydra method. There are three or four major paths the party can follow, and the player chooses which path and how to resolve it. When they resolve it, that path branches off into two more, and the party can then choose to follow down one of the new paths, or circle back...

    D&D General All known sales of Dungeons & Dragons video games

    I will always remember what we could have had if Planescape sold more. Chris Avellone: "A long time ago, I did kick around the idea of two sequels. One was "Lost Souls," an adventure that allowed the player to experience the events surrounding Torment (both past and future) but the Nameless One...

    I'll take a more in-depth look later, but I want to compliment you for putting in some serious work! I do have a side question though. What was the motivation for 2006 specifically?

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    I don't play Dragon's Dogma, but I always heard the main character (called an Arisen) builds up relationship points. And when they confront the dragon they threaten whoever is highest on the relationship charts. If NONE of the potential romance options has a positive relationship score, it...

    D&D General Critical Role Season 4 and the Ship of Theseus

    #4 is the only one that really matters to me. Critical Role is the people, with all their experiences, humor, and raw charisma creating the feeling of a bunch of friends (these specific ones) sitting around roleplaying together. Matt moving to a player spot keeps him in the picture, and I'm so...

    D&D 5E (2024) Why doesn't the Tarrasque have Regen?

    Who knows. My tarrasque has sorcerer levels. The look on my players face when they see it flying around is priceless.

    Brennan Lee Mulligan to GM Critical Role Campaign 4

    It's a heck of a power fantasy above what DH caters to, and power fantasies are a very popular genre. I would say the entry level power for DH is higher than D&D, but D&D has a far higher power level in the end. Of course, there are far better systems for power fantasies (Nobilis, Exalted...

    Starting Daggerheart campaign. Any pitfalls?

    I had a Wizard player pick something similar. We talked about it, and ended up with "This can apply whenever you are not in a rush and have time to set your spells up, make ritual circles, etc." So it was applicable most of the time, but not in combat or when they were otherwise in a hurry...

    D&D General Players Decide when to Level Up

    We used to joke that dead characters are still adventuring in the afterlife. Of course, that entirely depends on the cosmology, and some dead character might just be sitting as a larvae in a lower plane, waiting to get scooped up by a hag. But the idea is funny enough. And I HAVE run adventures...

    I can definitely see it working for my groups., especially if there's an active discussion amongst themselves after story critical moments.
