    D&D Movie/TV Rate the D&D movie

    I'm very happy that you've enjoyed every single movie you've ever seen in your life. It'd be a shame if one of them just didn't click with you and that made you part of the fun-hating gang.

    D&D Movie/TV Rate the D&D movie

    My expectations were very low at first, I had no intentions of seeing it. But I saw several reports that the movie was actually quite a bit of fun. Finally got you see it tonight. I honestly don't understand the praise. The special effects were nice, the production value was good, but that's...

    Would you play a TTRPG that used Meters instead of Feet?

    Being from eastern Canada my mother tongue is french. But I work mostly in english and consume my media in english. The two languages are severely tangled in my brain. It's probably a mix between the usual and a free translation of a french Canadian expression.

    How do you create an adventure when it can be about "anything?"

    Everyone works differently. But I constantly take notes or snag images, quotes and ideas from most media that I consume. When I'm hit with a blank page, I go through it and take one thing that inspires me when I set my eyes on it again. Then I put on some appropriate music and try to merge two...

    Would you play a TTRPG that used Meters instead of Feet?

    I'm from Canada, but I'm used to whatever strange mix we use here. The experience is not the same for every Canadian (big country), but in my thick of the woods... I measure 6 foot and 1 inch. Anything construction related is in foot and inches. I buy a two litres of soft liquor at the store...

    D&D General D&D Book Prices Are Going Up

    I'm mostly done with WotC with everything that has happened in the last few months. But even though 5E books have never impressed me with their quality, a price increase is absolutely reasonable. I actually think that the whole industry could do better by selling their products at a higher level...

    RPGs, new games and originality

    I've lurked around Numenera for more than a year, but a few bad reviews from people around me are making me hold on for now. There's also so many supplements!

    Wish I could delete this.

    I'll guess that against all odds, it's by something that is still active on the forums.

    Imagine being the actual last thread on ENWorld. All the other threads have been bumped more recently than you.

    How did you convince your group to try something different?

    I've always been the DM for as long as I remember. I take interest in other games, I buy the books and prepare the adventures. The players don't generally get much of a say. The conversation ressembles something like "Hey, I bought this cool game and I'm starting a campaign in a couple of weeks...

    RPGs, new games and originality

    I focused on these three parts of my personal survey because they're very active spaces. The OSR space itself is more active in what it produces than many big official RPGs. However, I assure you, within what is possible for one individual with a job, I've touched to many things outside of that...

    RPGs, new games and originality

    You're right! I left them out because buying full-fledged games from big publishers, sometimes IPs that have been alive for almost as long as D&D led me to discover some very different games. Just in the last four years I bought and/or played things like Burning Wheel, Vampire V5, Lancer...

    RPGs, new games and originality

    Alright, so this is not a rant. It's something that'd been nagging in the back of my mind for several months now and I've wanted to exchange with someone to kind of understand my own thoughts and feelings about the matter. I've been playing D&D since about 2000 with 3rd edition. I've only...

    When the New Edition Doesn't Cut It

    The only instance that I recall that's somewhat similar to that would be 5E. I was a big fan of 4E. Thoroughly enjoyed it. So you understand that when it crashed and burn a handful of years later I was a bit bummed out. However, I loved the game but did not fully disagree with many criticisms...

    What alignment is the poster above your post?

    He looks like a Beholder, so I was tempted to say Evil. But the caption under his username says "Everything's Fine". I'm convinced and I'll say Lawful Good.

    Pathfinder 2E Abomination Vaults 5e Pushed Back to January 2024

    It makes sense, since the announcement alot has happened. Paizo has a finite amount of energy to produce content and I'm sure it's main line, the ORC license and the remaster are taking most of their focus and are strategically much more important and sound than dipping their toes in the 5E...

    Why do nerds love East Asia so much?

    There's often fascination and interest with very different cultures. I can't talk specifically about nerds, but the stereotype tend to be applied to people that become very fascinated and passionate about one thing. So maybe it would make sense that a bigger proportion of them would latch onto...

    MCDM Announces: Tales from Arcadia!

    Having turned my back on 5E, I was a bit sad to leave MCDM behind. Matt's view on many aspects of RPGs greatly resonate with me. So I've been pretty happy to know that they're working on their own game. I'm also moderately interested in their settings. Matt showed some interesting approaches in...
