    D&D 5E (2024) So other Classes for the PHB are dead and gone yes?

    I just wanted it to be clear for everyone else that the playtest material does explicitly say they'll address the issue you say the playtest materials doesn't address.

    D&D General "It's not fun when..."

    A single encounter where one party member can largely resolve it is great. It allows those strengths to shine, and will probably create a memory that is talked about for quite some time. Arguably, something this momentous can be almost as fun to watch and experience as it is to perform. A slew...

    Hot take: Most of Breaking Bad was actually boring filler

    I'm grateful for Snarf's post, because it conveyed a lot of my thoughts in a much more articulate way. Not to mention, it's been years since I've watched it, so I'm nervous about speaking confidently through the fog of memory. But, to address one aspect in particular, one of my favorite...

    D&D General "It's not fun when..."

    Ah, fun. What a dangerous word. Is reading Finnegan's Wake fun? Is watching Schindler's List? Is playing Diablo? No, no, no, and yet we do it. Now, for certain, we have limited time in this world, and we want to spend it meaningfully, intentionally. No one wants to look back at free time spent...

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    I think including the word only is putting words in their mouth. They're not invalidating that people have issues with spiders, or saying that it might not be worth removing. They're just saying that these two examples are nowhere near the same level.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XV: The FINAL ROUND)

    I'm still very curious how the ranked choice voting would go, even if we just left it at the final list of winning subclasses. Didn't want to steal thunder from your last survivor thread for the foreseeable future though.

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    As someone who has generally been reading but not participating in this thread, I think most of the participants here are not as far apart in what they actually want to happen as they are sounding to each other / reading the other side as being.

    D&D General How Do You Feel About Established Lore

    For my FR game, I try and use the widely known stuff as reasonably as possible. My players went to Neverwinter, and the people there were grumbling about Neverember's taxes, warned them of the chasm in the SE quarter, etc. I like having confidence in what I'm saying, especially for the players...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see from the bastion system?

    Oh man, been a while since I've thought about that series.

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see from the bastion system?

    I get the appeal, but this exactly why I want this system to not come with those extensions. Land and follower management is very disconnected from what I find interesting about having a home base, and doesn't feel intrinsic to why I play the core game. It's why Strongholds and Followers ended...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor: Species (formerly, "Races"): Lightfoot Halfling Wins!

    Hopefully, this should be the last correction needed, though this needs @Ancalagon's revote, both up and down. Again, sorry for messing it up. Aarakocra 10 Aasimar 8 Autognome 10 Bugbear 10 Centaur 10 Changeling 8 Dhamphir 11 Dragonborn 10 Dragonborn, Draconblood 10 Dragonborn, Ravenite 10...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor: Species (formerly, "Races"): Lightfoot Halfling Wins!

    Oh yeah, I messed that real up, let me fix it. Agh, I pulled the last post of a page, not the most recent post, that's why. Sorry everyone.

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion thread to 5E Survivor: Species

    There's just really nothing I feel that strong of a drive to vote down in this one.

    D&D General The DM Shortage

    Can? Absolutely. Will have fun if everyone is committed to it? Almost certainly. Is supported in the ways that an average party can and likely will diverge from the expectations of the adventure? Sporadically. Builds the soft skills of a DM and an understanding of why to make decisions one way...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part XV: The FINAL ROUND)

    One my absolute favorite subclass flavors, not to mention my current character, so I'm thrilled that this won, and that I never had to vote for anything else this round.

    GM Confessional

    That's one I'm not sure any GM is entirely immune from.
