I feel like the starter set(s) do a pretty decent job of teaching that there’s a lot of rules but half assing it is ok. The transition from a 30 page book to the 1k page 3 book set needs work. Honestly, this is where they could do something amazing with DMs guild. Imagine if paying for say a...

A two to three page guide on maintaining, and updating as you level, character sheets is sorely lacking. If a fresh noob, how everything interacts is not intuitive. Also the sheet is hot garbage for tracking day/rest limited abilities. I think selecting spells to learn or prepare is pretty...

I hear this enough that it must not come up as much in other peoples games, but healing to single digits, while it makes the player useful, is often more dangerous than being unconscious. I’m not big on targeting unconscious players, but I do have to go after anyone standing and single hp...

I came here to post the same thing. It was my favorite book as a child…maybe second favorite to Richard Scarry’s Cars And Trucks And Things That Go…but I loved it. Here’s the bestiary.

I think it matters, it’s nice to have something real these days. I think that’s part of the appeal of RPGs, being with Real people, even if not in person. I think real artists is part of the D&D brand as well, publishing a history of your art and then just taking all the beholders you’ve ever...

Seems like what Amazon licensed is pretty great for them, enough to put Tolkien’s name and LotR on it, but not enough to be limited in anyway from telling the story they want. The price not so great for them.

So, I liked this post even though I don’t exactly understand where you’re coming from. It’s sad and I appreciate sad, but what it‘s sad about I just don’t truly get. I haven’t played this game for decades, and I’m surely less attached to it than many here, but to me, the most important thing...

Reasonable? What’s reasonable about expecting a company to support your efforts to play a game they haven’t made in 30+ years? What’s reasonable in being salty with them when thay actually have by making legacy products available? What’s reasonable about expecting the company that’s moved on...

It’s interwsting to see these efforts become more more successful as the ways around them increase. Awesome Liberians more important than ever.

Yeah, saw this preview too, it’s wild and long time fan of George Miller, looks awesome, it looks like a lot of money was spent on it, which is a shame cause this is gonna be a hard box office bomb, but still be awesome. The market for this movie is people like you, who don’t go see movies, so...

I use the tabletop audio site mentioned earlier. Plus Cantrip Candles for some smells, and monster pictures inserted into the front of my DM screen which I don’t actually sit behind.

Um, why with the, not exactly persecution complex but, the bizarre antagonism and expectation that there will be something new for fans of a game that hasn’t been published in 40, 30, or 20 years? it‘s obvious if you didn’t like 5e, you’re not going to like what comes next, as they’re pretty...

Mazes at Midnight sounds cool, 50k gamers sounds like a nightmare.

is a good question. I struggle with this, especially knowing my players, and setting a DC knowing who’s coming up against it. Why I think player passive perception is stupid too. That said, you can probably see the difference between something set up before the players got there and you just...

I get that’s an opinion, meaningless rule, but since it’s being made, maybe you might want to explore and think about why they thought it might be necessary to say and what they thought it would change. If all you can come up with is “nothing” probably missing something.

If you don’t think this rule changes anything, I think you’re not understanding it, but I’ve said my peace, go on playing as you were. If it’s actually implemented in two years, worry about it then

Sure, but it does suggest more rolls than before.

I will pretty much disagree with this. Dm fiat is a hard wrong. The game has rules and adhering to them is important for consistency. DMs have wide latitude for judgement, but just making up stuff according to their whims, Fiat, is not at all central to D&D. It’s D&D with jerks when that’s...

I still go back to my original point, they get to roll unless impossible for everyone under the new rule. that Said, I’m exhausted on this topic and, frankly, was never gonna use this New rule anyway.
