You are welcome! Thanks for the kind words. We are currently playing Spelljammer now and I will eventually start posting some of those.

Have they mentioned any changes to the Concentration mechanic for spells, or less spells that require it? Or just a rebalancing. Just curious.

I ran Lost Mine twice, and the original is still one of my favorite Top 10 D&D adventures from any era. The second time I spliced it with the other starter set as there is tons of overlap. I had plans to introduce Phandelver as a no-man's land between Venomfang and the White Dragon as they...

I haven't been on this site in a very long time and realized I never finished posting my recaps for Margreve, so here they are, 16 final stories. https://app.box.com/s/tz4m33io6ifg6wkowk80o4amiwyn6yfs https://app.box.com/s/x96ljp3satsnh9imy4g95hd2p108f9rv...

I think they went the correct route in making a widely acceptable D&D movie for mass appeal. Personally, I would want a grittier D&D movie more like Conan the Barbarian,. but that's just me.

I gave it a 7. Was fun, lighthearted, and did (mostly) feel like a D&D session. Chris Pine really held it together. Well, the whole cast was good. I wasn't bowled over by the movie, but it was certainly good enough, and I expect they will get some sequels and spin-offs.

Right, they have an extensive list of options, and I think there's even a rule for a "signature move" which is their default move, so even if the player doesn't explicitly say "I'm doing such and such" or forgets, it's assumed the character would have tried anyway. Thh Mighty Deeds are very...

DCC has Mighty Deeds for the fighter that lets you do whatever you can think of, within confines of the die roll and the circumstances at hand. It's the best iteration of the fighter class I've ever seen. Also, since DCC relies heavily on crit tables, the Fighter has the best, most damaging...

I think I read Saga of Old City and Artifact of Evil around the same time I started playing 1e, so they're both ridiculously nostalgic for me. The later books were not as good and too verbose, but I did quite enjoy the first two.

Also, I found online walkthroughs and supplementary material that makes CoS even better and more fleshed out in ways I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.

oh yeah i'll fix that, changes the number

I don't know if this means anything, but I looked up the budget for the original 2000 film ($36 million) and plugged it into the inflation calculator. The 2023 movie has a budget of $45 million, for reference. Value of $36,000,000 from 2000 to 2023 $36,000,000 in 2000 is equivalent in...

Midnight was originally a 3.x setting from Fantasy Flight games, imagined as if Sauron had won the war of the ring, subjugated the world, and the heroes are the only resistance left. It was epic, dark, fun, and had a huge amount of sourcebooks to go with the original game. I don't know what...

I really don't think 5e is dead, it will remain permanently. And I really don't even think 5.5e (or 6e, or One, whatever the hell it is) will die either. It is coming and people will play it. Will as MANY people play it as 5e? I don't think so. But the movie will do good, maybe even...

I haven't been a real customer of WotC in a long time. I didn't even buy Tasha's or Xanathar. I don't use or subscribe to DnDB (although the character builder is excellent) and the last adventure I bought was CoS for Roll20 three years ago. If they come out with a particularly amazing...

The LU MM is just FUN to read! I don't think I have enjoyed reading a monster manual that much in many, many years. I hope any new 3PP manual moving forward uses a similar format. It adds in encounter size, treasure, combat strategy, morale parameters and more, plus really interesting lore.

Yeah, it does seem a bit like gaslighting. I think what bothers me more than anything else (so far) is the leak saying that WotC + Hasbro higher ups regarding the community as obstacles to their money. Now, I am not a DDB subscriber and I haven't bought any WotC books in three years, but that...

If we still remember how THAC0 works, there's no way in hell we're forgetting about this.

Exactly. Those "Drafts" weren't drafts: they were sent out with NDAs and contracts to sign. You don't send out an official document as a "draft" with a contract attached.

Lol! They did didn't they? DDB is just a fancy online character sheet.
