I have to disagree here, ttrpg is about whatever you want it to be. If it's only about playing a game, it's fine. If it's about meeting new people, that's also fine. For me it's generally about playing something fun with friends. Online isn't for everyone, I can totally understand that. But...

Couple of issue that you're stacking together and influencing the 'golden age of RPGs' in a negative way for you. #1 Limiting to local players only (no online). #2 Going through just the local FLGS #3 Setting your game to your preferred system (OSR?), which is a relatively small niche compared...

I know that reading is hard, but that's why I said: "Add to that the comments and the context, then you don't have to think deeply to make some conclusions on why that situation is what it was..." As is the other sexist remarks and comments written in the margins... And apparently we give a...

It isn't, because the world 'original D&D' was created in, isn't the world now, no 'Internet', nor easy access to world wide information. You were generally stuck with what books your local library had and what books yourself had. And to be honest, I don't expect the collection of books on...

+1/+2/+3 DC could be very strong, it depends on the spells and could require attunement, just like the spell recovery. The stacking also happens with ranged attacks with a bow +2 and arrows +2 You could even add a Giant/Dragon slaying into that mix. As for melee characters vs spellcasters. A...

Background: I'm currently playing a Warlock that has a "Wand of the War Mage +1" and two other attunement items. Now I have gotten my hands on another attunement item and choices are now hard on what to attune. I was thinking of other non-spellcasting classes and how they handle the limited...

A Monk, a Fighter, an Artificer, and maybe a Bard?

Kind of depends on what I would want to play... If everything functions as a human mechanically anyway, you could play anything. A Kitsune? A Minotaur? A Centaur. Or just one of the classic Elf/Dwarf/Gnome/Human? What would I be in the mood for? These days I often play something human adjacent...

Wow... That title... It's about expectations and mutual respect. You're playing a game together: the players and the DM, each person has it's own responsibility, but there is a shared ownership and not an absolute ownership. Not for the DM and not for the players. But if people want to and...

And that is the problem of the 'otherside', trying to brand people as 'bad' or 'evil' if they enjoyed a game from 50 years ago. Even if it's phrased (semi-)jokingly. That is also why a LOT of people's first reaction is assuming a defensive posture and try to defend what they like(d). But it...

WotC/Hasbro don't deserve anything. They are a (big) corporation, they have been for over a decade, with many different people working there, all with different visions. 'Trusting' a group of people you don't know and knowing that group of people will continue to change in composition is the...

The quote text didn't actually use the name Tiamat. And if Tiamat the Mesopotamian deity was depicted as a dragon or serpent is seriously up for debate. And while she did spawn 'monsters', including 'Dragons', but she also birthed the other Mesopotamian gods. And what exactly made her 'evil' in...

Absolutely, it isn't about time, it's about environment, upbringing, and personality. Woman's rights was already a movement a lifetime before GG was born, a woman's right to vote in the US was established nationally in 1920, GG was born in 1938. And the WLM was already a 'thing' for a decade...

I probably won't buy the physical books, but I might change my mind on that down the road. I did preorder the three new D&D 5.5E core books for Foundry VTT. Because for VTT rulessets/modules/plugins, I suspect the most (and probably only) support will be for the most recent edition. You can play...

Is that 'reality' or something they are told? Because imagine the devastation it would cause when destroying the coins actually destroys the souls permanently... This they find out after destroying thousands of souls. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions...

Are you sure? This seems like 12B... ;)

When the adventure was announced and some details of it's scope were made clear, it was pretty obvious that this was going to be a roller coaster ride in a theme park that's having it's 50th year anniversary... Around the planes in 80 days (or significantly less)... If your not prepared to go...

That kind of advice just leads to more piles of dice! And at what size (and material) do these things become deadly weapons? I've got a couple of metal dice that are already unsafe to use, a glass table shatters and anything wood just gets dented... Not to mention, don't leave them around angry...

The only proper response is: Way too many! To be honest, I have no idea. Bags of them are all over the place! At least 100, probably way more. Do the D6s count that I bought for Warhammer (40k), but could easily be used in one of the Warhammer RPGs?

Questions: regarding Dall-E 3 vs Midjourney, when I look at the documentation, there's more ability do manipulate the image and/or part of the image with Midjourney then with Dall-E 3 (ChatGPT Plus), I really like that. I do think a lot of the AI art in this thread is absolutely awesome and if...
