    D&D General How do players feel about DM fudging?

    I think that there are some important things for everyone to remember regarding Fudging. The DMG talks about fudging and gives advice about it. So it is part of the game and cannot rightly be called cheating. If the game says it is a tool the DM can use IT IS NOT CHEATING. BUT, and it is a BIG...

    D&D 5E (2014) Favourite Dnd 5e books

    I like and use Xanathar's and Tasha's the most outside of Core books. I love having more Subclass Options so these are essential books for me. I also like race options so Volo's is great too. I also like Like Wildemont because it explores a cool setting with options for character like a nation...

    D&D General Your favorite character experience?

    My favourite character is my Goblin character, that I have played since 1st level and is now at 20th. We have been playing for the past 3 years, but the game is on hiatus until Covid numbers are lower here and it is safer so we can play in person again. Then we will finish our last adventure...

    D&D General [+] What is your favorite non-WotC D&D setting?

    I am a big fan of the Midnight setting and am super keen for 5e update. I ran a campaign back in the 3.5e days. I also love Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved. I would love an updated 5e version, even though there would have to be a lot of changes to make it in the 5e design philosophy. I also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does Call of the Netherdeep open the door to ogre PCs?

    Even if that were true (it is not entirely the case, Chris Perkins was involved in writing to at least a little degree) then what I stated is still true. Editing involves changing things. WotC has control over it. As with Wildemont WotC were involved in development and editing. They have final...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does Call of the Netherdeep open the door to ogre PCs?

    I would say no. It is an NPC with an NPC stat block. None of the NPC rivals are made like a PC. The "Rogue" character has no sneak attack but has 2 attacks instead. It doesn't say anything about the possibility of PC rogues getting extra Attack. An Ogre NPC doesn't open doors for PCs. Sure...

    Critical Role To Critical Role or not...That is the question

    I completely disagree with your statements that if you have time for watching CR you have time to play D&D. I play 3 games current, just about start a 4th. I have time to play D&D and other RPGs. I also have time to watch CR. These to things do not take the same commitment and are not...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE LIVES! Unearthed Arcana Explores Heroes of Krynn!

    I like how they solved the klepto issue with Kender. Rather than promoting PVP thieving, replacing this with an interesting ability that gives people a reason to think they might be thieves is a good idea in my opinion. But I do think that the UA kender are weak. I am not sure there is a need...

    D&D General How do you like your character sheets?

    I have always used portrait because I am used to it and the forms I use are laid out that way, it is the standard for most things. But now that I think about it, landscape might actually work better for my in person games because of the limited space due to the grip map in the middle of the...

    D&D General Technology in D&D, the IRL Timeline, and Pausing It.

    I am not really suggesting that people shouldn't mix technology and magic, just because magic can solve the problems that technology is trying to solve. I am more suggesting that people should choice the technological level that they want from an aesthetic preference point of view and not...

    D&D General Technology in D&D, the IRL Timeline, and Pausing It.

    I think the biggest reason that technology doesn't advance the same in a fantasy world is that there are alternatives to solve many problems - Magic! When magic can easily solve problems, why look for new ways to solve the problems that are no longer problems. D&D Setting is pretty high magic...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your thoughts on the DnD Next playtest sorcerer compared to the final 5e sorcerer?

    Having now read the playtest document, I think their mistake was not presenting another subclass at the same time. The HD, the Armour and weapons can all be different with different subclasses. So if they presented a Wild Magic Subclass alongside the Draconic Heritage, with a D6 HD and no...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your thoughts on the DnD Next playtest sorcerer compared to the final 5e sorcerer?

    I hadn't seen the material, but the concept sounds awesome. Martial/Magic Hybrids are my favourite type of class/character. But I don't think it fits the concept of what the Sorcerer previously was, so I can see why it may have been unpopular with the Sorcerer name. Call it something else and...
