    West Marches Primer?

    Friends, I am trying to wrap my head around a West Marches-style campaign, and I'm not sure I'm getting how I could make this work. I have a very stable ('stable' being a relative term...) group of players. I'd like to try and run a more open-world (I'm not sure that's the term I want) kind of...

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    I can't say I've enjoyed watching RoP--some of it is just poor writing, and canonically grating--but it is visually beautiful. I think I am too invested in the books to enjoy this particular interpretation. With that said, it is a gorgeous production.

    Worlds of Design: Why Buy Adventures?

    I find it easier to get a module (#oldguy) that gives me the framework I need--the maps, the names, the room descriptions, etc.--then re-skinning it for my campaign's needs. So, I still get to do all the fun parts, using my imagination, creating the interconnected storyline--without the time...

    D&D General D&D 2024 does not deserve to succeed

    Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your ears! No one has to play the new D&D, or the old D&D! If people want to, great! WotC has designed an incredibly effective interactive experience for you in D&D Beyond. The thing is remarkable (and their VTT looks amazeballz, too). If you like this whole...

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    I agree. It wasn't like the orcs were voting for Sauron to lead them: he was the right hand of Morgoth, a Maiar in his own right. He was not reduced to bug eating goo because the orcs voted him off the island. So dumb.

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    I did not like how they are portraying Sauron, especially during that beginning sequence.

    Tales of the Valiant vs. 5e: How different?

    Greetings, friends. I know ToV is similar to 5e. I am wondering how different it is. For example, is this high heroic fantasy, like 5e? Are there the same (he writes politely) power creep issues with characters as in 5e? Any insights would be most welcome!

    D&D General 5e Tier 2 Play: Advice

    Hello friends. So, I am about to re-start a 5e D&D game with my players (five) in a highly bastardized version of Descent Into Avernus. The characters are level 6. I have been a DM for a long, long (loooonnnnngggggg...) time, and I have struggled a bit with the power creep in 5e. Essentially...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I am a shameful game harlot who just bought the three core books and the digital version on D&D Beyond. Even though I told myself I wouldn't. Even though I told my friends I wouldn't. Even though I think Hasboro sucks. Even though WotC can be horrid. Even though 5e feels like a superhero game...
