    Robots can now *dance* better than you, too

    Well. It's good to know that when the robots do come for me, at least they will have a hop in their step and some upbeat music to go along with it.

    D&D General What Day(s) of the Week Do You Game On?

    During COVID, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Outside of that? It was every other Wednesday, and another group on like Sat or Sunday, depending on what worked best. Only the Friday online one persisted throughout both umm... states of society? Yeah... let's go with that.

    D&D General Another D&D pronunciation question - this one's for Grognards

    Grog-nard is what is said in my region of the States.

    D&D General What Kind Of Setting Does Your Group Use?

    Overall, the world was shaped by me. The locations, larger nations, and the flora and fauna (for the most part). After the players encounter it though, they are encouraged to fill in the gaps. Take the bones I have provided and put meat on them. Makes for a shared world that my players find an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd map for my campaign

    They do have that effect don't they? Maybe it could be the most powerful story hook at your employ if running it? Maybe the OP has trapped us all in the mystery just as he wanted. At least, I like to think that was the intention.

    D&D General What Do These People Eat?

    Writing up a Twighlight/tidally-locked world right now. Did a good deal of research on what would be consumed along the differing horizontal parallels as the exposure to light increased or decreased. So lots of root and ground crops the further shadeward you get as well as hunting and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd map for my campaign

    Lol. Precisely why I only left my comment as I liked it. I wanted to add though, that I think that those odd island formations are probably specific and maybe part of the campaign. I know the OP hasn't said so, but, they seem to consistent to not be in my mind. Maybe ley line focal points? Or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dnd map for my campaign

    Without getting to map nerdy, I will say that I like it.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Heard that too. Had read it might have also been in South Africa, and recall seeing something like Umbran's list as well. I am crossing my figures that there isn't something too divergent out there. I simply want the quickest safest path to seeing my D&D buddies again. Not to mention and end to...

    D&D General The DM is Not a Player; and Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock

    DMs are players. That's where I land. If asked, my response will be I am playing D&D, or I played D&D, even if I am Dming. I expect that the Players in a group allow for the enjoyment of all including the DM. Just ask I expect the DM to want to allow for the enjoyment for those playing the...

    Star Wars, Alien, etc. novelization dispute

    Zero. Unless they have some sort of contracts that might prevent it, but that doesn't sound like a megacorp to me.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Didn't sleep well. Work was stupid busy, and on top of that I read about a new possible COVID-19 strain that is supposedly more infectious. I am going to be looking into this more to see what happens. And trust in some of the experts that think our efforts with the vaccine will not be thwarted...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tome of Undeath

    I notice above that your greatsword does piecing damage. Is that intended? Not the typical damage type associated with that weapon. Otherwise, looks good!

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e Powergamer's Tactics Room: a youtube channel

    Seems decent to me. I may have gone with dueling fighting style instead as I like a little more punishment when I land a hit. If you built it out more how many more levels do you suppose you would sink into Warlock? Probably belongs in the Character Builds section though.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Fall Of The Dwarves: What Races Do People Actually Play?

    I have been seeing this decline from the groups I run, and play with. Less and less dwarves. I had hoped after the Hobbit series, some players would jump on the chance, but no. I would have though. And all dwarf party? Sign me up! Alass... might be some time yet before a dwarf graces my table...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons & Dragons Holiday Gifts and Wishes

    Got my Goddaughter the ABCs and the 123s D&D books for Christmas. Start them out early.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Well one of them was going on well before the pandemic struck, so I think that game will persist as it always has. Voice over a separate medium (currently discord) and playing via Roll20. I know my in person group is itching to get back into play, and while we have done a couple really short...

    D&D General What is the appeal of Tolkien fantasy races?

    Personally, I think the halflings are the most dull of all the races offered up. I mean... I hate gnomes, but at least they are a bit more distinct than halflings are to me. Why I prefer other races though is a matter of experience. In my time, I have seen countless... countless elves and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Everyone Should Play Custom Lineage by Default

    That's good. And thank you for expanding on the why. While it was something I considered unnecessary for me to know, it definitely helps understand where you are coming from. While I first played 2e, most of my early D&D was 3/3.5. So we do not share a similar vibe on PC vs NPC in general. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Everyone Should Play Custom Lineage by Default

    So you are brining 1e expectations into a 5e game. Understood.
