    D&D 5E (2014) "I’m that DM. . ."

    I'm that DM who always has more prep time, props, and potential than actual games or players.

    D&D 4E Have you ever run 4e using just Essentials?

    I made some last minute adjustments based on some feedback. Now the real work begins. Again.

    D&D 4E Have you ever run 4e using just Essentials?

    My latest distraction: custom (power) card design that is clean, simple, and elegant.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the best way to learn how to be a DM?

    If it gets you in the DM seat and running games, then whatever that is is the best way for you.

    D&D 4E speak with money

    That's because those other OGLs didn't include a "poison pill" clause like the 4e GSL did. It could effectively nullify all previous licenses for the publisher who accepted use of the GSL at the discretion of WotC. 4e seemed hellbent on doing everything it could to take back the market and undo...

    D&D 4E Revisiting Reavers of Harkenwold

    Well, you're the first person to show any interest in about 8 months since I stopped updating these. Honestly, its a lot of work for me to write them up for what has been a very small, select, and largely quiet audience. I do have a number of ideas in mind, maybe more than what is needed to...

    D&D 4E speak with money

    But to what end? Without a fair and open license, the system can only get minimal support from anyone. So unless they're willing to update the books, or include all the errata that came out over the years, I (and more importantly, the company) don't see any benefits of supporting the same...

    D&D General Survivor Thread: Best D&D Movie

    Well, that's because the wizard decides to solo the balrog, levels up past everyone else, and is able to carry the party.

    So right up until they split the party...? :unsure: Yeah, that tracks.

    D&D General Survivor Thread: Best D&D Movie

    I dunno. The thing that stands out with LotR is that all three movies were shot simultaneously as one continuous movie. These were not sequels or add ons, and none of them sits as a complete story on their own. So it would be more like picking your favorite season of a TV show, or your favorite...

    D&D General Survivor Thread: Best D&D Movie

    We're really down to the top picks where no one should feel good about downvoting any of them. But from my perspective, Conan the Destroyer stands head and shoulders (literally?) above Krull. Yeah, Krull had some neat stuff in it. Looking back almost 40 years, however, we just seem to be more...

    Really? So what happened to the actual D&D movies from the list? I can't imagine a better fit than a script utilizing the actual source material. 😉

    Conan the Barbarian 8 + 1 = 9 Conan the Destroyer 20 LotR 21 Willow 11 Krull 15 - 2 = 13 Does anyone remember actually watching Krull? Even as a kid, I thought it stunk. And the fact that it outlasted other great movies that should still be on this list (and fairing better than some that still...

    Conan the Barbarian 22 + 1 = 23 Conan the Destroyer 26 LotR 28 Willow 11 Krull 17 Princess Bride 9 - 2 = 7 Because BOTH Conan movies are legit D&D movies. They just switched DMs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Version of Freeport/Other Pirate City...?

    I forget the name of the pirate town, but the module includes 3 linked adventures that should translate easily enough for 5e. https://paizo.com/products/btpy99se/discuss&page=3?Pathfinder-Module-Plunder-Peril

    Podcast/audible book you are listening too right now.

    I have very few physical copies of Star Wars novels. I collect mostly guides and RPG stuff. But the audio books (most of them) are so well done with voice acting, sound effects, and music, that even the "bad" ones are entertaining enough.
