    GMs - Do you get bored when you're a player?

    I'm of a forever DM of approx. 40 years. I do get bored at times, sure. It's been mentioned by others but I occupy myself with note taking, mapping, and preparing for my next turn if in combat. I'm a lore/explorer type of player. I also do all I can to assist the DM. Boredom happens, for me...

    Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide impressions

    I was happy to see you all have great taste, especially the individuals who added the Thing to the list ;) You all did a great job, my table is full of KP fans and ToV is a big hit with us.

    Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide impressions

    Following along. Huge fan of Kobold Press, love the Game Masters Guide. Big fan of minions and hoards, encounter templates, bloodied, as well as doom... I enjoy the Monster Vault, and as many know it's a pretty basic standard faire offering of monsters BUT you should probably get that as well...

    Worlds of Design: Why Buy Adventures?

    I voted 20+ and have a problem...not enough money to buy more. I also run multiple systems and rarely run an adventure as written if ever. I just figure the more resources I have the better I feel. Plus, what else am I going to decorate my house with besides books.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2024 AD

    Still hard for me to believe. When I saw the news I was floored. Engineer, producer, advocate, and guy who lived by his words. I was lucky enough to see Shellac twice in a bar once in Jersey once in Philly. I'm a tad younger but it reminded me of the flow of time and our mortality.

    D&D General 50th Anniversary- Are You Not Entertained?

    I'm curious to see what they have planned but I'm also wondering if the fact they are rumored to have no one in the book department anymore and they just had huge layoffs plus a new VTT and edition to launch might mean this year could be messy with all going on. Tsojcanth sounds fun and exciting.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Wow, just took the last two days to catch up. This whole continued debacle is like watching a clown car parade crash into a trainwreck that collided with a dumpster fire factory.

    D&D General D&D monsters that have been changed the most over time

    I know in 3rd edition they became more feline-esque. I watched Todd Lockwood discuss it on a youtube video. Of course, aesthetic design has influenced many monsters over the years, sometimes with a purpose other times just because the artist had a different image in their head. I think the...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    Exactly. I do marketing and branding for a living and have clients like LaNasa with the grammar/spelling, not his worldview, I'd never work with someone and be ok marketing like he does. It's disgusting and hurtful....and stupid. There are a gazillion spell check and content improver apps out...
