And here is why attorneys make money! ;) The old saying: If a town has one lawyer they are poor and if it has two lawyers they are rich... Aside from my nonsensical posting, I'll pipe in as another attorney and say I agree with @Mistwell that there is a lot of room for arguments.

I voted ToEE because I am doing something similar and the way various campaigns in my campaign world have crossed threads have been cool and players have really enjoyed that aspect a lot.

I ran a "dead" rpg for years with WFRP 1st ed. I could do the same with D&D. I do like being involved with a current rules set, but if I were inclined to be left behind - it's no big deal, I have done it before.

I don't budget. If I like it enough I buy it. When I looked at the hardcover list from WOTC from last year I was honestly surprised I did not purchase any of them. However, miniatures, terrain, paints, etc. I often throw down a fair amount of cash on those. Most of the things I buy I use for a...

This is where being on the other side of the screen changed the way I run the game. When I play I do not enjoy mapping. When I play I do not enjoy being lost. When I play I don't enjoy bottleneck puzzles that rely on the cleverness of the players and have nothing to do with the characters'...

@Clint_L Really well done!

Yeah, @Cusm mentioned that upthread. These are nice lists even for snobs like me that do not use pre-painted. How are your resin miniatures holding up to play? The ones I have seem a lot more fragile than Bones or GW plastic. I mean a lot more fragile. Do you have a resin that works...

It did, yes.

I am not sure what to choose. I do run a game online for far flung friends, but we do not play D&D. We play lots of other games and a few that are D&D-like, for example we're playing DCC right now. I could envision an online service getting a subscription from me. If it were say a patreon...

I opened a game this Christmas, I don't remember which one*, and it said "reading the directions is the worst way to learn how to play a game follow this link to a video explaining the game." I prefer the written word, but I know that I am in the minority. I coach high school American football...

Malmuria I hope that was not your video, because I agree with much of your opening post, but the video was pure clickbait nonsense. 100%. Now, unlike you, I really enjoy running that kind of game. However, like you, I enjoy running a number of other games - I would say at least 50% of the...

resolved.

Sounds like a blast!

Not sure it was advice I have received directly, but more of a realization: "No gaming is better than bad gaming."

Great idea on the adventure paths. Maybe I'll do that going forward. We had an art forum for many years. I don't think the images were much of a problem. The trouble was it just did not see the traffic of the other forums. I kind of liked its slow pace, but I do understand why Morrus...

I honestly wish we had similar miniatures rosters for all of the adventure path books.

I don't mind running Adventure League at conventions - it's a chance to meet new people and if our styles do not match, it's OK. Adventure League at a store is a bit more cumbersome - if I am going to make a weekly commitment, I prefer my home game. I can run what I want, with the people I want...

I am glad the vast majority of responses are because people wanted to. I am certainly in that camp. Occasionally, I get the impression most people DM because they have to, which sounds pretty miserable to me. I do hope this poll is more accurate for most groups out there!

Best advice in the thread...

Yes, would not have to be Ravenloft per se, but something huge and immersive. I am also one of those oddballs that enjoys running high level games.
