Failing the DC:X check to notice the trap, failing to disable the trap because they didn't know it was there, and asking for a DC:X check to avoid the negative outcome of the trap is how the basic game is written and how I run it. Whether or not a character has gloves isn't germane to the trap...

My general view as a GM is to assume that the characters are much better at their job than the players are at emulating that job through a game. Because of thiw I give the characters a lot of benefit of the doubt when the players do something with the character the character really shouldn't be...

I really liked the base design of 5e, but I er the years the lack of interesting new rules content to explore has led me to feel that it got stale. More subclasses is great but doesn't work for me the same as more base classes with unique mechanics would. Ultimately though what would bring me...

Can you name one of the characters that stopped the High Lord of Earth (Torg). Can you say how they achieved it?

Total War: Warhammer 3 is currently $60 on Steam.

This Comics and books are stories. Games are scaffolding to make stories with but aren't stories themselves. How did Bright (Shadowrun) and Altered Carbon (Futuristic Cyberpunk) do on Netflix?

I once rolled up a Normal Human that had one power - Alter Ego. Literally all I could do was turn from one regular guy into a different regular guy. And yet it was kinda fun to play outside of combat.

I subbed back in the 4e days because the character builder was AWESOME. Access to every character related item (there were a few that didn't get programmed from odd sources) pretty much within a month of it coming out. I killed it when they killed the builder and repla ed it with a crappier...

I'll take some of those slings and arrows....I will publicly state that I prefer the movies to the books. I actually really like Tom's introduction in the books (because the scene in the barrow is one of my favorite in the novels) but feel like the story grinds to a halt (when it should be...

Not an actual response to your post, but just a fun aside. My 3.5 warmage could shoot an arrow up to a mile and halfish (I forget the exact number of feet) away without any range penalty (some spell and Distance property on a weapon) that would explode in a Maximized Acidball. It started a...

Lets go in a slightly different direction with this discussion. What do YOU think the 350+ new employees working on the digital footprint of DnD are going to be working on, and how do you think Hasbro/WotC is going to recoup the costs of exploding their paid workforce? What do YOU think it...

I feel that Jesse is as much a main character as Walt, with is own road to where he ends up. Walt centric story does eat up more of the show (he has both a nuclear family and an extended family in his orbit) but Jesse has enough focus that he also has multiple characters that relate only to him...

I don't think most people feel the need for a show to be "perfect" for every minute on screen in order to consider it "One of the best shows on television". Thats a pretty big bar to set that nothing will ever fit. The alternate questions is how much difference do you place on somethign that...

I think one facet that I enjoy about "long form" types of media (4 hour movies or 5 season shows like BB) is that the pacing of character change seems to feel more "real". You can do a 2 hour movie featuring a story of a good character gone bad, but the number of steps from good to bad will be...

It sounds like maybe you are approaching this discussion from a mostly emotional aspect. If you are getting overwhelmed by negativity maybe engaging in online debates isn't a healthy use of your time. I'm hearing most people say "I wonder if there is a snake down that path because last time I...

4th grade language incoming. You own a game company. You make games that people like and give you money for. You also make doo-dads to go along with your game that people also give you money for. The doo-dads take 1 hour to make and sell for $10. The games take 24 hours to make and sell for...

How about the option of I pay $60 for the game and I get to play it how O want with all the content available to me? I find it odd the buy a game=get all the stuff option wasn't one you mentioned.

Literally nobody on this thread is "complaining" about WotC wanting to make money on movies or by licensing video games, or even random merch sales. People are bringing up very valid points being concerned that the bullet point for "recurring profit" in regards to DDB MIGHT mean an appearance...

I've had a lot of trouble explaining this to multiple people over the years. DnD isn't a singular setting with a singular group of characters, it's lots of different settings with some characters common to them all and others that never mingle. Some poor kid is going to see the DnD movie, get...
