    D&D General What does "This adventure is for mid-level adventurers" mean to you?

    5-12. But I wouldn't use that term in relation to 5e (since it has its own defined tiers). And I agree with the OP - when advertising an adventure, the actual level range should be used.

    Spoilers Cobra Kai Final Episodes

    I think they dropped the Sekai Taikai thing - it was foreshadowing for the series. For the other: his wife had a necklace that was stolen from them. Miyagi broke in to steal it back, was caught and attacked by the guy, and injured him in self-defence. That was then spun by the media as him...

    Kobold Press Announces 'Cozy' RPG Riverbank

    Yeah, that could be a useful introduction to a couple of people I know...

    Spoilers Cobra Kai Final Episodes

    I finished the show last night. Overall, I thought Cobra Kai went on just a bit too long, and most of the final season in particular was rather weak. That said, the final few episodes were great, and I thought the finale was near-perfect, somehow managing to bring the whole thing back to the...

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    I hadn't actually meant to combine the "American Bond" and the "female Bond" into a single film. :) But, yeah, that could be cool.

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    IMO, they're taking an obvious, and wrong, approach to their new casting. The Daniel Craig films never quite settled on whether they were part of the same continuity as those that went before - "Casino Royale", despite Judy Dench as M, felt like a new start, but as they series went on they...

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    As with all these rumours of TV shows and movies, I'll believe it when I see it and not until. I still think doing either of these in live action is a good way to lose money. But since it's not my money, it's not my problem. :)

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Obviously, they're not listening to me, and nor should they, but I would argue that they absolutely should not bin the new canon. Doing it once was risky, but arguably to the good. But doing it repeatedly gives a clear message that everything is canon only provisionally - until the next person...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    This is a big factor. The other is the massive backlash against TLJ, which I can't imagine they expected. "The Rise of Skywalker" makes a lot more sense if you accept that they've been given the task of somehow cleaning up the big mess that they've been left. It's not great, to say the least...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Burning down the old EU would have been fine had they replaced it with something better. Unfortunately, they've largely replaced it with a mess that seems to get its only good ideas by raiding the stuff they've decanonized, so, really, what was the point of that? And doing endless shows that...

    RPG Evolution: Game Cancelled, Now What?

    I've been playing long enough, and seen enough cancelled games, that I've learned not to let it bother me. Stuff happens. What did annoy me in one of my campaigns was the last minute cancellation, especially with no notice. Which happened rather more often than it should. Basically, in this...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Hiring a D&D Worldbuilder

    I'm afraid it's worse than that: even if your direction does work out, there's a good chance you'll get the boot.

    How do you put aside your own feelings when reading?

    I don't. But I also don't mind having my views challenged, so don't mind reading things I disagree with. I also generally separate my opinion of the work from my opinion of the author, so also don't really have any issue there. Except that if the author turns out to be terrible I'll make sure...

    D&D General Humanoids...and world demographics

    I don't have solid numbers, but I tend to be around either the "Early Medieval" or "Renaissance" bands - so somewhere between 200 and 500 million humans. And then about the same again divided between the other humanoid species. I can't recall the last time I've seen a player create a human...

    D&D General What would your "fourth core rulebook" be?

    I tend towards the view that the game already has too much by way of "core rules", and so could do with fewer books, not more. If I was forced to nominate a "fourth core rulebook", I'd go for some sort of setting guide - either Forgotten Realms or Eberron (I'd prefer the latter, but the market...

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    Genuine question (because I simply hadn't seen it confirmed before): when did that retcon happen?

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I was thinking more of the whole "we can't kill them if they're pretty" stance. For the rest of it: yes.

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    Actually, thinking about the Eye of Gruumsh specifically, it probably is true that it was first introduced to allow WotC to sell a miniature, and it's true (IMO) that removing it is a step backwards. I think the thing that was off-base, back in the day, was the objections at its introduction -...
