    D&D 5E (2014) Feat, Magic Items, or Multiclassing? Which do you choose?

    Multiclassing Feats seem cool, but there aren't enough slots to make picking them better than ASIs in many cases. I'd kinda miss magic items, but that still impacts my character less than leveling.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    I don't necessarily think the cards are a bad idea. It works for Munchkin. I could see a similar idea working for a ttrpg. My earlier comments were mostly bringing up that such a thing could be an avenue for a business to make money during a time when selling books may be tougher...

    Not for me either, but if a company were to condition an audience to expect those things as part of the experience...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Certainly, speculative. Though, I'd say that it seems less implausible than others said it would be in the last discussion about Cocks.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    Sure, but they were most often sold as accessories, not a central gateway into the game. This is potentially a new opening through which Cocks can penetrate the market.

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    The concept I talked about in a previous thread was to link physical products to digital by having some way to scan minis/cards/whatever and unlock the same item's digital model. Drives more people to subscribe to the digital platform while retaining incentives to buy physical product Over...

    D&D 5E (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    I could see how it might change how people approach the game and what people expect from a game experience. Though, if I can touch upon an idea I mentioned in a previous thread (for which I was called crazy,) I could see a scenario in which cards and components are part of the sales model going...

    GURPSified LMoP for the curious

    I had mentioned this in one of the GURPS threads. It's a good window into how a familiar adventure may go when powered by a different engine.

    General DCC RPG thread

    I just got mine slot a week or so ago. A friend of mine enjoyed reading through the creature entries so much that he went home and ordered the D&D 5E version.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I had looked at that one. Sometimes, you just need a quick sketch to get an idea across.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    While not specifically for rpgs, I recently bought one of these Whiteboard Desk Easels to use as an initiative board and as a quickly way sketch things out that I want the whole table to be able to easily see.

    D&D General Reification versus ludification in 5E/6E

    I'm okay with non-PCs not necessarily equating to PC building blocks on a one-to-one basis. However, all things being equal, I do prefer the ability to view the situation from my character's perspective and understand what is going on in a way that makes sense and us internally-consistent some...

    Possum Creek Joins Steve Jackson Games as New RPG Imprint

    +1 The new update to the store was needed. I'm glad it was done. But other than that? I prefer a simple and intuitive site over a bunch of ads and videos that I don't need to see.

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    I've already answered that. The absence or presence of additional detail may change the accuracy of how you perceive what is visually in front of you. For me personally, I would say that the Helper needs to be more specific about how/where they are assisting. The drawback to that is two...

    Darkvision Ruins Dungeon-Crawling

    Right. So, maybe alone, I have disadvantage and don't see something. Likewise, maybe alone, the other person hears a sound and blows it off as a mouse or whatever. However, together, having that additional detail provided to me helps me make the connection that "there's somebody standing...
