    D&D 5E (2014) Dwarves are the best spellcasters?

    Is that you, Diaglo? :) Actually, you can’t be Diaglo, because you’re not talking about how there are no Paladins or Rangers, just Fighting Men, Clerics, and Magic-Users...

    Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

    The interpersonal interactions are some of the elements I enjoy most about the show. My wife has her Housewives and Teen Moms, I got my Rogue/Paladin and Druid making out. :) The PC-with-PC romance angles are definitely something that I can’t see happening in any of my games, but in my...

    How serious is your d&d?

    This may sound funny, but a Critical Role episode plays about like one of my groups’ normal D&D games - at times serious, mixed with a bit of humor, foul language, and totally inappropriate humor. :) The occasional epic role-playing moment manages to find its way in there as well.

    If an NPC is telling the truth, what's the Insight DC to know they're telling the truth?

    I would say that a minuscule chance exists for a PC to misread an NPC, even if they are telling the truth. It’s possible, especially if the NPC is normally a very smooth liar. My spot-ruling would be “if the person is familiar to you, it’s an automatic success. In any other circumstance and the...

    Who Killed the Megaverse?

    One of my favorite panels from the “What’s New?” Comic strip from Dragon Magazine #84: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W9kmTRhHY4Q/WPjoT2iXMRI/AAAAAAAAbyU/UN4RR-iDo0w2GM97qhKW8cVlSA3DvE0oACLcB/s1600/not%2Ba%2Bring%2Breally.JPG

    F. Wesley Schneider Is D&D's New Editor

    I think he’ll be fantastic at it. One thing Paizo sometimes do not get enough credit for, however, is their attention to story, flavor, and detail. I’ve often considered running Paizo adventure paths converted to 5e, because I find their plot lines and characterizations superior to the ones...

    F. Wesley Schneider Is D&D's New Editor

    In my experience, Life is a series of hyperconvergent timelines that if graphed spell out the words "Jeremy Bearimy" in cursive. :)

    D&D General I Do Declare! Do you? (POLL)

    I can’t say that I’ve ever encountered any table who has done any of 3e/4e/5e or Pathfinder this way. Back in 1st ed and 2nd ed AD&D, we had declaration phases, but not since.

    Role-Players vs. Actors

    “Roll-play versus Role-play” has always been around - this is maybe the seventh long-running thread I can remember on these forums on the topic? I feel like it’s one of those kinds of topics that absolutely NEED to get discussed if ANY group is gathering for the first time, along with things...

    Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

    I’m fortunate in that the groups I’ve hooked up with over the years have made in-character discussion and debate part of the table dynamic; a few years ago we had an absolute blast with the Paizo Hell’s Rebels AP, even to the point of having fairly involved discussions in-character about...

    Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

    In late 2017, I would have said, “not my cup of tea.” However, not long after campaign 2 started, I went to, “yes, and talks machina, etc.” The amateurish production values of the early shows, and them still finding their stride, was really off-putting to me, but when I started watching the...

    Critical Role Critical Role Kickstarter Predition Game: Guess the Funding Outcome (GTFO)

    Dragon Talk Interview with Kate Welch re Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    Much as I loved the Greyhawk setting back in the 80s and 90s, I have to agree with this. It's indeed quite hard for a company to try to resurrect and rebuild a fanbase for a product that (in Greyhawk's case) had at least one or more divisive splits (Greyhawk pre-Gary leaving, Greyhawk post-Gary...

    WotC Considering NPC Stat Format Change

    Isn't that reminiscent of that old saying about the two happiest days for most boat owners? :-)
