This. I have started before that ENWorld is not what I consider social media. Social media consists of the self-branding sites designed to fulfill proto-narcissistic needs to post about yourself and have followers or follow others. Calling ENWorld forums, which grew out of old school chat...

The rewards should include a discount code for POD versions.

I am the same way about talking with people and getting feedback to make sure they are having fun. I have people who are not happy over losing a character but usually most people have some many concepts in their head that they just roll up something new to try.

I think it is not for use if toggled off and the player does not own the content. The player has to own it to use it.

I am a younger Gen X and I remember the first time they introduced participation trophies after we had a disaster of a season and were ranked last in the league. No one wanted them and it just made everyone feel worse. I remember a few kids pitched them in the trash. There was no sense of...

Inexperienced GMs. DDB does not come with a great user manual. You can see that with the recent thread about maps. A do a lot of publishing software setup and testing and it requires a certain mindset and level of curiosity to figure it out on your own and I see a lot of smart people who cannot...

Fireball should have the added effect that it sets people who fail their saves on fire and continues to burn unless you take a full action to stop, drop, and roll.

The encounter builder does not even work correctly with 5.5. The CR calculator is off. They specifically tell you to build the encounter in maps to get the right results.

It is called being professional. There are a lot of things in my industry that I think are crap but I work to the best of my ability with whatever I have to work with. If you act like a professional and have integrity, you can design a great truck even if you do not like trucks. People spend...

This is still a joke. A silvered weapon has a 5% chance to be useful in a fight against a were creature that is in hybrid or animal form. Werewolves are also a joke in 5.5.

It limits the players if they create under your campaign to the options you allow but there is no 2024 off toggle. You can turn off 2014 but not 2024. You can restrict the players from the books in the campaign but not if they own them so the players have to know not to use 2024/5.5 options.

Do not get me started on how bad search design is now that we have 5.5 and that horrible glossary. The glossary does not even pop until the 4th or 5th result and then you get the whole thing. You have to control+f to find the term you want, if you’re lucky. It is fine if you have a direct link...

It is because they built it that way in the database. The free rules are listed separately from the PHB even if you own the PHB. Basically, bad design.

I do need help. I am in the process of replacing my bookcases with taller ones so that I can gain an extra 3 shelves for RPG books.

I have no clue. I have bookcases and hard drives of RPG material I have never opened. I buy things that look cool to me and always think that the material can be incorporated into my games but that never happens. I usually build it myself. I think this means that I have a problem. I should seek...

I called Saga 3.75. It was a beautiful upgrade of 3.5 that fixed a lot of my issues with the system. It had some 4e elements but stayed closer to 3.5.

Star Wars Saga Edition. Saga style rules should have been the basis of a fixed 3.5.

No, actually, because that would give access to copyrighted material and place it in the public domain. The reality is that Meta should be required to pay a fine to the authors or right's holders for every piece of material they accessed illegally.

Medical articles are critical for a lot of people to get paid too. Editorial assistants, managing editors…..peer review and copyediting are not free.
