    Project Sigil Sigil, WotC 3D vtt game automation no more?

    I'm on the side of "if you want automation you can have it, but if you don't you also have that option". An example: I love Foundry VTT but I have to be honest, I never used more than half the features it offers. I use if for tracking overworld maps, city maps, dungeons, light and tokens, and...

    D&D General Playing to "Win" - The DM's Dilemma

    It depends. I play monsters more as roleplaying what they would do than trying to win a skirmish. If the party is fighting a griffon its objective is to make one character unconscious, grab them and fly away with its meal. I play goblins less optimally than I play hobgoblins. Orcs are brutal...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    After all, the tanar'ri is in the detail. Or was it the baatezu?

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

    The system depends on what we want to play. Currently we're playing campaign set on the Sword Coast, so the 2014 5e was a good choice. If we're planning to do something with more dungeon crawls next maybe we play OSE, and there's a campaign we're planning to ressurect for a while that would be a...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    I have nothing against the campaign books, but I hope they publish they less and give more attention to it. I would rather have a Curse of Strahd every two years than an Eve of Ruin every year.

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    I hope it becomes the standard, not only the shorter modules are easier to use and insert into an ongoing campaign, lately the quality of the short modules is way better than the campaign books. I guess it's because the campaigns are suffering from the "too much authors" problem, it's visible...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 needs more short companions!

    It's very easy to design a short character that doesn't resemble a child. See Barcus, Kagain, Yeslick, Quayle, Tiax etc. Or a recent example that had a sex scene, Harding from DATV.

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    It's not for me as the DM to decide. It's for the player's with their actions and the dice.

    MtG just made 3 UB sets per year Standard/Pioneer Legal and the Vorthos are mad

    Not cool, Pioneer wasn't the biggest format but enough people play it in the FLGS I use to play and it was my favourite. I'm not a fan of UB and I think it really dilutes what makes MTG fun for me. (Yeah, I'm a vorthos and although I'm not mad, I'm sad)

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    After I've seen many and many online debates about if Gandalf is a level 5 magic-user, a cleric, a paladin or an angel, I have a new proposal: he's a fey.

    Scions of Elemental Evil Released on D&D Beyond

    I love the cover art! It scratches my Keith Parkinson itch.

    OSR BrOSR

    I'm a bit bummed it isn't Brazilian OSR anymore. The LATAM TTRPG scene is really cool and avantgarde.

    D&D General Harshest House Rule (in use)?

    For 5e: if you you're healed from 0 HP you're still unconscious for 1d10 minutes

    D&D General D&D Expert In Your Pocket

    Looks like they changed the badge of the Zentharin again. And to be honest, the "Z" snake is a bit silly.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I always find funny when I click to see the latest page from a thread and I can't understand what it has to do with the topic and how the discussion went that way... Until I notice I clicked the wrong thread. It's me, I'm wrong on the internet today.

    Not yet, but I'll make sure to read it! Thank you for the recommendation.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn

    I like them as mixed bags too. As I presume the "intention" behind the five factions they choose for original 5e is that each one is on a represents a point of the alignment chart: Zentharin as the most Evil of the bunch, the Lord's Alliance as the Lawful faction focused on bringing order and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn

    As much as I would like to believe it, I doubt the Forgotten Realms novels will be set on 1492 DR forever :(
