One specific example was the multiple times they used the First Class Berth hallway set where it was completely empty other than the main characters in the shot. Also several conversations on the promenade with maybe a single couple or crewman walking by. That deck would be packed with people...

How many "Clerics that will never ever cast a single healing spell on a party member" are there in the wild and is that enough to devote a thread to? I have had clerics who RARELY healed at my table. I played one in 3.x. That doesn't mean I wouldn't occasionally use a healing spell to save a...

I can only speak for my table in that everyone plays the character they feel like playing, regardless of which "jobs" are filled in the party and which are vacant. We once had a long standing party with two clerics and a paladin of Torm and a rogue (3.X). There was zero arcane magic in the...

I think Dark worked because the characters where never much in a place where there would be large crowds. 1899 felt off because the ship never felt BIG. Other than a single scene in the fancy dining hall there never seemed to be more than 15 or so people in any shot. It's not bad, but I'd...

Why do you view it as selfish to be a cleric who doesn't focus on healing? If I want to play a character who bashes skulls why is it selfish to build that character with a cleric chassis instead of a barbarian? Either some other player can play a healing character or nobody can play one and...

3e half-orc cleric with Strength and Destruction domains. Maxed out STR. Chef's Kiss

Truth. How many boycotters are going to order their non DnD books printed in China by a person on their 78th hour of work for the week and expect it delivered in two days by some delivery driver out working at 10pm because an Amazon order can't be late.

Only with your reply do I realize I used the word you in my statement. It was meant as a general you for all readers, not a direct reply to you the individual. My apologies, that comes across as rude and wasn't meant to be. That being said, I am not going to boycott since I have already...

If I had a magic act that included a tiger...and eventually that tiger bit me...I shouldn't be surprised it did so and I shouldn't hate the tiger for doing what's in it's nature. Tiger=big corporation Bite= care more about making money than anything else As long as DnD is controlled by a...

I am 99.9% certain one of the primary reasons the new OGL specifically calls out not being able to use it for apps is because of the many many spellbook and character sheet apps available for phones. I believe one of their first moves is going to be to tell Apple/Google to remove all those apps...

Asmodee is the biggest player in the boardgame industry. They in turn own Fantasy Flight which is the only boardgaming company that had a decent RPG presence (with StarWars and Warhammer at one point).

Since some things have come to light in the month since this thread started ... I'm curious if anyone is still thinking "better monitizing" something is likely to result in a better experience for the customer?

It was big enough to spawn two different studios to make a videogame on the SNES/Genesis and a bunch of novels. Shadowrun wasnt obscure.

I think you set your clock back too far. Ebberon was a very good setting with a new hook (magic as technology). People also seem to like the Nentir Vale but despite playing 4e during it's lifetime I never read much about it. I don't remember a supplement specific to it as a campaign setting...

A question about your first point (sandboxability) In what way do you feel Greyhawk is better at facilitating sandbox play than another setting. As an example, I feel like your exercise at crafting a starting seaside town from a map blank space could have been also done in the Forgotten Realms...

For a cooperative game I suggest Pandemic. Spirit island is fun but it's pretty complex even for seasoned boardgaming adults. Pandemic is very streamlined to play, is challenging, and is one of my few 10/10 games. For a competitive game I recommend Space Base. I have played this with 8 year...

I can't answer the questions you asked for another person, but answering for myself... I don't have an issue with your houseruled initiative system. I also don't have an issue with the stock 5e initiative system. I have no interest in revamping or replacing a 5e system I don't have any...

It always helps me to think of it as both myself and my neighbor have an item we call D&D but those items only share one trait, what we call it. This enlightenment happed for me in a thread about halflings where I was told halflings can't grow black pepper as a seasoning.

I agree with pretty much all this. For part 4, though, some gamers might find it fun when Fytor VII loses his eye to a rot grub because in real life Nancy thought it would be a good idea to check the door for traps by looking 8n the keyhole. Personally, if I wanted to experience pain and...

1 action is not a fixed amount of time in the narrative. In your campaign how long is "1 action"?
