    Curmudgeon's Corner: So, what's the deal with Critical Role?

    I don't get the appeal of reading and answering posts on a message board from old folks. I mean... don't they have grandchildren for this? Can't they get their 'hip' information elsewhere? Why can't they just hop into their old sedan and listen to the Beach Boys or something. I feel like...

    I am not certain, but I feel as though you besmirched Falling Down. I caution such actions in the future...

    Rate Joker

    I greatly enjoyed the movie. While I can firmly say Heath's Joker is still my favorite, Phoenix's is a very close second.

    The REAL news in Video games....Diablo IV announced

    I kind of felt that way at first, but then I got a thorns Templar working and it was... amazing. Though, nothing beats a group of leap-quake barbarians for enjoyment.

    The REAL news in Video games....Diablo IV announced

    Ended up enjoying the Templar and the Necromancer as well. I think the Elemental aspect was more of a general game mechanic thing, rather than a specific class stepping on another's toes.

    The REAL news in Video games....Diablo IV announced

    Looks good. Interesting to see Lilith step onto the stage. I have thus far enjoyed all the various Ds. I don't see anything stopping me from enjoying this one either. As long as I can play something like a Barbarian. ;D

    Let's build a world together.

    Castagar is a quasi-republic. Various principalities and city-states came together to form the Kingdom, and meet annually in a great witan, though Lord Degaunt still holds the most influence of these leaders. What culture does Castagar boast?

    [TRAILER] Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Looks good to me so far. Pretty excited. Hoping to get to see this in a free early viewing through work as I had with the rest of the new Trilogy. Also, I think the cavalry charge is on the newly rising Star Destroyers, so likely still in atmosphere. Regardless, this looks visually stunning.

    D&D 5E (2014) Active Defense in d20

    Okay. Yes, the way it was explained and read, felt like you were taking the already calculated like spell DC and adding 1-20 to it verse at the time some static number, in the example the orcs spell DC? It makes more sense now, but I would still probably keep to vanilla 5e. I like to roll too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Active Defense in d20

    So... does anything ever hit them? In 5e there is a thing called bounded accuracy, and not a lot of monsters have huge +'s to hit as they may have in previous editions. I feel like if I tried this, there would be whole sessions where the PC would stomp over everything without taking a scratch...

    Norse-inspired adventuring

    I am very much into the Norse vib in my campaigns. So much so, that I try to tone it down. Heh. Currently, there is a couple of groups that fit this culture, but they have not been encountered largely by the group. We will see as time marches on. This set of books does look a little...

    D&D General Is character class an in-world concept in your campaigns?

    I would have to say no. Typically, they are not represented in the game world. There are things as others have described that bump up against the classes. Clerics Sorcerors Wizards Warlocks Bards Whether or not these in-game jobs or titles are the same as the class PCs can pick from are...

    OD&D First Character Death

    Hmmm. Good question. I have had characters retire or fade out from the party. A Human Arcane Archer that got banished back to his material plane. A Drow Samurai who decided to quick the party for a Nymph they met in the forest (I didn't care for Samurai). Countless others where the campaign...

    who came first to make a village?

    Well are we talking who turned the hamlet or group of farmsteads into a proper village, or who/what began the hamlet? Who was the first to actually settle on the land? Those can be pretty different, and very far apart in a time line. Take for an example the small town I grew up in. It started...

    D&D 5E (2014) Archetypes to add to 5e

    Sure! I would like taking a look. It sounds interesting for certain. I think there are some interesting options for it on DMGuild but I agree, an official option could be nice. Validation and all... not to mention some testing on their behalf.
