    How likely are you to use D&D for your next game?

    As one long-running (7+ years) campaign wraps up, we're planning to do the Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box next, then see what the group thinks. Either continue with PF2e or go back to 5e 2014. No plans to use the 2024 rules are this time. Other long-running 5e campaign has a while to go still, but...

    What's your VTT of choice?

    Foundry works great on Apple silicon. Or you can pay for hosting like The Forge.

    Pathfinder 2E Foundry

    The Rules Lawyer has a great 3 part Guide to Foundry on YouTube, which is PF2e specific, and aimed at total beginners to Foundry.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    The OGL thing caused me to look at other systems. After reading through and now playing PF2e for the past 2 years (while still playing in two long-running 5e campaigns), I can say that I'm (mostly) abandoning 5e because in all honesty, I think PF2e is a much better system. (I played in a PF1e...

    Baldur's Gate 2 + AD&D 2e --- Enhanced Edition Re-Re-Retro-Retrospective

    Sure, 2e had plenty of "screw you" moments, but it had nothing on 1e. Got bit by a spider? (Or any number of poisonous beings...) If you fail your save, you're dead. Dead, dead.

    D4 Dice styles/variants

    I use #4 in your example and love them. I no longer use any other D4's.

    D&D General Should the DM roll in the open?

    Depends. Combat doesn't really matter, so especially if it's a crucial moment in the combat, I'll roll in the open. But for things like deception? Absolutely not.

    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    Pretty high for me. 4 or 5. Why? Because for years they've been releasing half-baked products. Adventure paths that create tons of work for the DM, DM and setting guides that are light on truly useful information, etc. Outside of a few outliers, the quality just hasn't been there. Then there's...

    DDAL [DDAL] Need help deciding: flavor vs (a bit of) function

    Thanks for the reply. Dual-wielding isn't an option because I'm using a shield. I thought about keeping both and switching out depending on the circumstances, but story-wise that feels a bit cheesy. I think if he's going to use anything other than Goblin Render there needs to be a very good...

    DDAL [DDAL] Need help deciding: flavor vs (a bit of) function

    I have a Goblin Barbarian (Zealot) [I have the cert that allows goblin without Volo's counting as my +1]. For a while now he's been wielding Goblin Render (+1 Longsword that glows blue when within 20ft of a goblin - rumored to have slain many goblins). He doesn't know that it glows because he's...

    Have You played In An Official D&D Adventurer's League Event?

    I had never played organized play until a little over a year ago, and now it's all I play. I played with friend back in the day, but hadn't played for a long time. Just prior to 5e, I got invited to an online (Roll20) Pathfinder campaign, which I played for about a year. Then 5e came out, and a...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 031: Flat Plastic Miniatures 2, 1879 Gamemaster’s Guide, The Game Master Tool

    I can vouch for the Arcknight flat plastic minis. I have a couple sets, and they're great. Great space savers, too. Like Pathfinder Pawns, but better (see through, and thinner). They also make spell/aoe templates. Very handy.

    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    That would be awesome. I did an emergency download of each guide (1st page only), but they'd need to be cleaned up/stripped of WotC assets. Several of them have already been duplicated on Google Docs, too, which is nice.

    Get Sick: Six New Diseases

    Ok, got it. The link in the comments works. I hadn't looked there because I saw the post a couple days ago, and the followup that you were having issues with the upload, so I just assumed it had now been squared away. Thanks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Polygon plays D&D using Fantasy Grounds VTT

    Looks like they're all using FG for the first time, and learning as they go. For example, in their first combat attack they didn't use the tools to select who was being attacked, so had to do the damage manually. Still, gives a decent overview of the tools, even if they're not using them to the...
