    Star Wars Rewatch

    @Hussar Hope your recovery is going well. I'm excited to hear you are revisiting Star Wars to pass the time. I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was a kid, and continue to be one as an adult. I revisit the movies (and shows) often, but I have also expanded my experience through a number of...

    A "Why Oh Why" RPG Thread [+]

    In my experience, a lot of players (and possibly a few GMs) think of Session 0 as their only time to get their characters ready for the next session. Anyone can make a playable character without much effort, especially with access to so many digital tools. And for many players, that is just the...

    How to deal with a "true roleplayer".

    I've been in this situation before, and it's a hard place to be. But here is the harsh reality: This isn't about "good roleplaying". It's about being a good player, which your friend is obviously not. A good player respects everyone else at the table and ensures that they are not negatively...

    D&D 4E How to get started if you want to give 4e a try.

    Essentials is an easier path to get into the game, especially for newcomers who've never played. The character choices are more streamlined, as well as more in-line with traditional classes and races. And for a group that is just dipping a toe, you won't need to buy a ton of out-of-print and...

    WotC What is the last WotC adventure you played in or DM'd?

    Earlier last year, I began working on revising Reavers of Harkenwold in order to revitalize a return to 4th Edition using only Essentials as an OSR-style game. I will be returning to that as soon as I get settled into our new home in Washington.

    D&D General I DM because...

    I've always wanted to GM. My experiences as a player were unsatisfying, so I wanted to learn everything about the games so I could create the experiences I wanted for others. Ultimately, I just became the GM I always wanted to play with but rarely ever met.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    WotC's "authority" ends at the table where my friends and guests get together and play. This also applies for anyone else's opinions, advice, and two cents.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rebalanced Tyranny of Dragons Coming In January

    Someone new at the offices looked over the history of sales and publications, specifically eyeing how often the same adventures, titles, and supplements were used repeatedly throughout every edition. And then they asked aloud, "How many times do you think we can get people to buy the same stuff...

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    No one and nothing in the history of this world, this timeline, or any other conceivable dimension, has ever needed an "Elon Musk" for anything, ever. Except maybe Elon Musk, and I can't even vouche that is true for any and all possible instances.
