    Constructive Criticism for Your GM

    I DM once a week and it’s been constant for over a year. I’ve sacked it off a few times to recharge my batteries. Luckily my group are pretty chill with that 👍

    Constructive Criticism for Your GM

    Mate, I could have totally wrote what you just said 👍. I’ve played D&D for over 30 years and had a pc about 7 times. 😞

    Time to Hang It Up? (Gaming Group Struggles Pt 2)

    My group uses google hang out. I draw on a hand held white board and hold it up to the camera 👍 There are definitely concessions to be made when playing online but it’s doable if you keep it simple.

    Time to Hang It Up? (Gaming Group Struggles Pt 2)

    Like any relationship you should put in what is commensurate with what you get out of it. If you’re giving all the time people will only be able to take. 👍

    Time to Hang It Up? (Gaming Group Struggles Pt 2)

    Start a new game with the people who normally turn up. But do take a break. This may be a bitter pill but don’t over invest in the game. It’s s thing that adults often just can’t commit the way they could when younger and footloose and fancy free.

    Ha! He’s started interrupting my bed time stories: “no daddy, Peter the Wolf went to Barry the Fox’s house, NOT Jessica Lion’s house- they want to go fishing in his boat to visit Simon the blue dragon and eat fish”.

    Gaming Group Struggles

    As I was reading this I was sat with my son watching Paw Patrol. There’s these six dogs who each episode a selection of them (never all six it seems) go and do some good and get it done in time for the end of the episode. Have your guys as part of a team or strike force who work for an...

    I can’t wait till my boy is old enough to play (he’s four so a long time yet). I’ve been collecting Fighting Fantasy game books to read to him when he’s old enough 👍 My group is two friends from school and two from uni (one being and ex, lol).

    D&D 5E (2014) Party Balanced

    When you have more than five characters you’re probably covering all the bases. 5e is really forgiving about party balance. My guys have been playing a year without a rogue or cleric with no worries.

    So we’ve been playing for over a year now. We’re on the second part of OOTA but we are doing Death in Thay rather than going to Mantol Derith(sp). One fatality, two character retires only two original characters. We missed a few weeks here and there, survived a few tantrums and killed a...

    Jonathan Tweet: On The Origins of Ars Magica

    I used to love how the Ars Magica time line was nearly OWOD. I was a sucker for cross overs in the 90s.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Feat - new players vs. veteran players

    I let my group redefine anything they like. I could be a feat or spell or sub class option. I don’t see how keeping them bound to a decision they regret months ago is fun for them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Avoiding High Level Play - Player or DM Preference?

    The group I run are knocking on 11th level for the first time in ever with wizard, druid, fighter, ranger. We’ve been playing the campaign for about a year and no one has complained about the high levelness. I would not be so keen to continue is it was 3.5 ed, though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you using 3d6 apply as rolled and if so can you share your experience?

    Not since Basic D&D. I’m not keen on inflated stats buts playing a dire roll character is normally not fun.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e House Rules

    The only house rules my group has is changing normal resting rules to gritty realism for long distance travel and back to normal for dungeon crawling.

    D&D 5E (2014) XP for Absent Players

    Dunno about that. A guy in my group died and rolled up a new guy (level 10). Played one session, went on holiday: his guy was there when a cave dragon breathed and failed his DM made save. Dead but resurrected (two sessions later). It does happen.

    Everyone I’m my game get the same experience. I can’t be doing with player inequality.
