    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    I don't necessarily think the cards are a bad idea. It works for Munchkin. I could see a similar idea working for a ttrpg. My earlier comments were mostly bringing up that such a thing could be an avenue for a business to make money during a time when selling books may be tougher...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Not for me either, but if a company were to condition an audience to expect those things as part of the experience...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Certainly, speculative. Though, I'd say that it seems less implausible than others said it would be in the last discussion about Cocks.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Sure, but they were most often sold as accessories, not a central gateway into the game. This is potentially a new opening through which Cocks can penetrate the market.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    The concept I talked about in a previous thread was to link physical products to digital by having some way to scan minis/cards/whatever and unlock the same item's digital model. Drives more people to subscribe to the digital platform while retaining incentives to buy physical product Over...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    I could see how it might change how people approach the game and what people expect from a game experience. Though, if I can touch upon an idea I mentioned in a previous thread (for which I was called crazy,) I could see a scenario in which cards and components are part of the sales model going...

    My pitch: •XCrawl tv-show that Is planned for 2 seasons and 3 movies (with two movies serving as the end cap of each season and one extra movie as a special event). •The tent posts of tone would be a little bit Twisted Metal; a little bit Running Man; a little bit Generation V; and a little bit...

    GURPSified LMoP for the curious

    I had mentioned this in one of the GURPS threads. It's a good window into how a familiar adventure may go when powered by a different engine.

    General DCC RPG thread

    I just got mine slot a week or so ago. A friend of mine enjoyed reading through the creature entries so much that he went home and ordered the D&D 5E version.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I had looked at that one. Sometimes, you just need a quick sketch to get an idea across.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    While not specifically for rpgs, I recently bought one of these Whiteboard Desk Easels to use as an initiative board and as a quickly way sketch things out that I want the whole table to be able to easily see.

    D&D General Reification versus ludification in 5E/6E

    I'm okay with non-PCs not necessarily equating to PC building blocks on a one-to-one basis. However, all things being equal, I do prefer the ability to view the situation from my character's perspective and understand what is going on in a way that makes sense and us internally-consistent some...

    Possum Creek Joins Steve Jackson Games as New RPG Imprint

    +1 The new update to the store was needed. I'm glad it was done. But other than that? I prefer a simple and intuitive site over a bunch of ads and videos that I don't need to see.

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    I've already answered that. The absence or presence of additional detail may change the accuracy of how you perceive what is visually in front of you. For me personally, I would say that the Helper needs to be more specific about how/where they are assisting. The drawback to that is two...

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    Right. So, maybe alone, I have disadvantage and don't see something. Likewise, maybe alone, the other person hears a sound and blows it off as a mouse or whatever. However, together, having that additional detail provided to me helps me make the connection that "there's somebody standing...

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    I've never said that your vision improves. My position is that your visual perception improves. Those two things are related but not necessarily the same. I may notice a detail that you did not. Being made aware of that detail in conjunction with what you yourself have observed may enable...

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    I suspect that there may be some miscommunication due to using different versions of the PHB. Also, I'm open to being corrected if wrong. So, I pulled out my old 5e PHB to compare it to the new 2024 version. "Help" as a specifically named action is described as a combat action in 5e2014. That...
