    The Stakes of Classifying Games as Rules Lite, Medium, or Heavy?

    I don't think there are any stakes since we don't have anything like the shelving and distribution categories common to fiction publishing in years gone by. If books got shelved according to their "rule weight" it could have an impact. As it stands, I agree that it's merely a descriptor. At...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Adventure or Setting Book?

    Yeah...we ditched the level gating on portals as well. I love seeing the creative ways players survive encounters they can't just battle their way out of.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Adventure or Setting Book?

    Yeah - not wrong. Although an adventure typically has a story thread woven through it that you're following - even if loosely. So you could have an extremely large adventure which you'd call an adventure by the presence of that unifying thread. So I'm not sure scope is the only factor. I guess...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Adventure or Setting Book?

    Is it possible Dungeon of the Mad Mage was mis-marketed as an adventure when it should have been sold as an Underdark setting book? We've been playing through and running it as a straight dungeon adventure and it just wasn't working - even bringing in the cool story hooks on each level. The...

    How important is "realism"?

    How important is it that your games reflect reality? Examples include making coins in a D&D game more closely reflect the size and weight of real medieval money, limiting the number of predators in an area to a realistic number, or not having sound in space. Are there some specific "realistic"...

    WotC “Atomic Arcade”— WotC’s New Digital Platform?

    I seriously do NOT want to repurchase all my D&D digital content again. I hope all of the speculation is wrong.

    D&D General Why is tradition (in D&D) important to you? [+]

    Tradition by its nature ties us to what came before. Tradition in an RPG means that we aren't just interacting with the game on the table today, but with every game we've ever played. It's like my extended-family's cottage. To outsiders it's just an older cottage showing its age and not all that...

    D&D General Rethinking the class name "Druid".

    I imagine it comes up as part of this conversation because of the historical connection between Druids and Bards. Two sides of the same coin and all that. I take it you've never had a player bring an accordion to your game. :) ;) That aside, I do think the music aspect of bards is...

    Defining TTRPGs and the the International Roguelike Development Conference's "Berlin Interpretation"

    Wouldn't you say the answer to your question is in the name? If you take on the role of an imaginary (or perhaps historical) character in the game, and the choices you make in the game are based on what that character wants/needs/desires, and in any social interactions (whether between players...
