Hey there. I just got this rulebook and I'm going to start poking around. What are your thoughts?

Waiting on this beauty: Return of the Ripper

Unfortunately, people in every fandom can be total asshats. The anonymity of online conversations emboldens people to be complete jerks about...everything. One of the main reason I got off of Twitter (aside from the fact that Musk is a tool) was the bottomless malice in the TTRPG conversations I...

Yeah, we all tend to prefer a lower-powered fantasy with a grimdark vibe. I think I said somewhere in this thread, the Free League LotR game is great: it has the 5e mechanics, but the power gaming stuff is sanded off. Of course, PC magic is sanded off,too, so...🤷‍♂️

As a guy who is reading through a lot of Middle Earth RPG content, I found it helpful to see a story set in Tolkien's Gave me some good ideas.

Thoughts? I liked it very much. I am not a huge fan of Japanese animation, generally, but the story was excellent.

Fortunately for me, I have been playing with the same guys for 40+ years! They are well aware of my game ADD. We take turns GMing, so there are always a good variety of games being run--Star Trek, Dragonbane, Call of Cthulhu, DCC. I am very blessed!

I'm sure it's a good game, but I need to have VTT support. C&C is releasing a big upgrade on Foundry, and there is a workable compendium on Roll20. Plus: I just like Troll Lords. Good dudes.

Yeah. Castles&Crusades it is. Thanks, all.

One other cool idea (stolen from the irrepressible @SlyFlourish) is to ask them to write a 'one year later' story. It doesn't have to be long--what have they done with a year in game time? Might generate some great ideas. In my group, the expectation is that we are making the path together...

Have your players help you. Ask them for direction. Use their backstories for ideas. What would they like to do, and where would they like to go? Collaborate!

From what I saw on the bug forum, they want the user to manually add a skill (like Old Lore).

From the book on D&D Beyond. I do not see these skills listed on the character sheet.

There was a problem, but I figured it out.

I like it a lot. I recreated my character from Roll20 using the resources on D&D Beyond, and found it very easy. I also built an encounter just for fun; I had the compendium set to LotR specifically, so it only showed me monsters from the book. Very simple!

I just bought it!

I have recently gotten rid of a bunch of stuff--old D&D stuff from the 80s and 90s, a LOT of old Call of Cthulhu stuff from the same time period, and some new things I bought but will never use. I recognize that I have a bit of dragon sickness when it comes to RPG things: I just...like it. I...

We played this last winter (on Roll20, not on D&D Beyond) and liked it a lot. The rule set definitely...let's say moderates some of the powergaming excesses of 5e, so you still have the good parts of WotC D&D, but the excesses are sanded off. A very fun game, but I suspect it's not for everyone...

I started in 1981, and I remember being completely flummoxed by some of the tables in the DM's Guide. We used to play AD&D, but mixed it up with the Basic/Expert box sets rules and modules. It wasn't until I reengaged with D&D five years ago-- after an 15 year absence-- that I saw how brutal...

We played this a few years ago and had a blast with it: Claus for Concern
