    Unique British aspects of D&D in the UK?

    So I need to remember my alphabet... man I'm so lost ;) Also, on the overall list, I forgot to put roundabouts - we have them (UK) not the US. Least not on the west coast where my wife is from. For years we talked about the 'cow udder signs' on the approach to those. Always good for a laugh.

    D&D General What is player agency to you?

    Player agency = player character actions make a difference (for good or ill) I thought that was fairly obvious? Although, maybe there are depths I haven't considered. I will say, it sounds like you have broader issues than 'player agency'. The communication between you and the players seems -...

    Unique British aspects of D&D in the UK?

    That's interesting because I find the grids confusing. I'm pretty sure I could find my way around any UK city but likely with a different navigation method, e.g. asking people then heading towards the 'big building over there'. So now I write that, maybe grids are the answer...

    Unique British aspects of D&D in the UK?

    My son just crashed his bike dodging a bloody pheasant on a country lane. I damned near hit a badger the other day. It's quite a thrill but ya gotta stay sharp! (He's banged up but broadly okay - the bike is not...)

    Unique British aspects of D&D in the UK?

    I married an American over twenty years ago who moved over to be with me. Yes, I am that wonderful - or maybe she was evading the tax man... erm... I might ask her tonight, anyway, there has been a two decades cultural exchange and there are a LOT of differences between the two cultures. A lot...

    D&D Movie/TV Should the D&D Movie Been Serious or Not Called D&D?

    I hope you are correct, and I hope they are willing to double down on their brand building to do another film in the same vein.

    D&D Movie/TV Should the D&D Movie Been Serious or Not Called D&D?

    I was saying NO to the heavy drama and asking to be entertained. The opposite of what you think I said.

    D&D Movie/TV Should the D&D Movie Been Serious or Not Called D&D?

    I don't want to say simply 'no' in response... but.... NO! Focusing on the title of the question: Should the D&D Movie Been Serious - no, thank god it wasn't There is enough serious stuff out there. I wanted to be entertained, my wife (non-DnD player) wanted to be entertained, my three...

    Would You Rather Maintain Campaign Theme or Win?

    I just published a book of magic items and in the dialogue between the in-game author of the book and their companion this is said between them: I’m quite fond of this one, although I’ll confess it isn’t my favourite of all the wands. There was an old druid who lived near where I grew up, and...

    D&D General Where is magic prohibited in your world??

    I was thinking the major towns. When there is a law, there is always a means to enforce the law.
