    What are you reading in 2024?

    I'm trying to remember what you could be referring to. Where did Douglas Adams do something similar?

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Just finished reading Asimov & Silverberg's Nightfall. It was meeh. Didn't seem to be going anywhere plot wise, ordinary characters and the idea that most people would go crazy (in bad stereotyped way) after suddenly seeing the stars for the first time in two thousand years didn't work over a novel.

    This is why I recently taught myself book binding. So I can make hard-cover books of those PDFs.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D at Pax preview adventure

    I don't think it was even shown in Australia. Anyway, I preferred the ABC with doctor who, star blazers and g-force.

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    The list is down to 291 currently. This is the danger of goodreads. Beware.

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    Just noting the Mistborn trilogy is listed in the 5E (2014) Players Handbook Appendix E. It is also number 147 on my 'to read' list.

    D&D 5E (2024) Have the 2024 PHB Reveals changed your intentions re: purchasing D&D 2024/25?

    Let me explain why am still going to buy: Expectations: I was expecting am incremental improvement on the whole and from what I've seen, that is what we're getting based on the sly flourish review. Playability: I play and DM at my FLGS using a 'adventurers league' format. I will get this to...

    D&D General Alternate thought - rule of cool is bad for gaming

    I am just reading Fate Condensed and it has introduced the 'rule of bogus'. Fate Condensed assumes that the characters can do anything the player says, but if another player (including the GM) calls bogus the table should discuss it. This basically establishes what is possible in the particular...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG adventure design advice - a bit contradictory?

    I certainly see that tension in the writings of Sly Flourish. In particular, the balance between what and how much is prepared compared to what is improvised. And, it changes depending on the circumstances. How the DMG addresses this we have yet to truly see since we can only see the first page...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG adventure design advice - a bit contradictory?

    I'm not getting what you are trying to say. Any you saying that Apocalypse World does not contain any form on contradiction? I haven't read Apocalypse World, so I can't comment on that.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG adventure design advice - a bit contradictory?

    My thoughts are: This is an overview of the process. It is not going to have the detail to unpack these issues. For example, if you look at the 8 steps of the lazy dungeon master with out the explanations you will not understand how it works. The explanations are in the pages we haven't seen...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Creature Reveal: Sphinx of Wonder

    I picked using an adding 10 to the initiate bonus from Sly Flourish. It works quite well, especially for multiple monsters. There is enough randomness is the initiative system with the players rolling.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D character sheet, what do you think?

    IMO, traits, ideals and bonds should be an optional system. I DM casual games in a game store. It never comes up in those sorts of games.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D character sheet, what do you think?

    How do you do weapon attacks? I have decided on that yet.
