Thread title says August 28. Did you mean 18th?

Story idea!

I'm recovering from and stroke a looking to get back into my games. They're all text-based, and will remain so as long as possible. I have players who won't do voice, so that's not an option, but my typing hasn't returned to the level it was. Anyone have experience with Voice-to-Text and...

I chose "Perfectly Happy" even though it didn't include 5e in it. I haven't looked at a new hotness, and have no opinion (though some folks I tend to agree with have voiced some issues). I'm just satisfied with what we've built over the last five years. Don't need new books.

I Don't plan to change to the new rules and don't see an issue. My games are on a brief break - on account of the real world giving me a stroke - but I've had no interest in the 2024 hullabaloo, and my players haven't shown any either. Why should it be any fuss at all, sticking with our current...

Recently, to tie in an event to the larger world, I crafted an NPC. She worked in the relevant field, had relevant knowledge to share, and even - I thought - an interesting hook. But she didn't immediately begin to spout everything she knew so the PCs left and went to ask the butcher instead.

One main difference here, from a GMing perspective, is that its very little work to create. I began with a pretty simple premise, and the history and setting I hope to run now grew from that premise. My main worry in all this was wondering if all that history was putting too much on players...

This was exactly what my son warned me of. "Everyone who play for three years in the other will play this one. No-one else will. And this is what my friend warned me of. To be up front with the changes.

Hi all, I've been toying with an idea for a while, and a friend suggests I check to see if there's interest before I got too far down the rabbit hole. I ran, for a few years, a Star Wars Game in which I changed the Canon just a bit. At the end of Episode VI, Luke Turned, Vader Took Over, and...

I took it a bit further. I tell my players to imagine a gold piece as a $100 bill... in 1970. 1GP is enough to live on for a week, pretty comfortably in my games. I keep the prices for most magics as they are, but I let the prices for goods and services needed in every day things low, to...

I have seen not only more Moon Druids than any other circle, but in nearly six years since I returned to D&D, I have seen more Moon Druids than all other circles combined.

Not sure this is the right place, but my security says the enworld mastodon server cert is expired.

Like Richard Prior in Superman III...

Backerkit (Kickstarter, Backerkit) DM's Guild & DriveThruRPG - Aren't these really the same thing? GM Binder - Though not often... Genius ideas find there way there, but I can never format then right, so I can only look on the site... Humble Bundle - Occasionally VTT - Roll20, but only recently...

I discovered other games besides D&D in high school. Mid-Late 80s. The Fantasy Trip, Villains and Vigilantes, Chill. TMNT. Star Wars. Paranoia. MERP. But I kept playing D&D. Running it, too, more often than the others. Discovered but didn't really play (like, one or two sessions, if that)...

😲 $6 an hour in 1987?!?!?!?!?!?! I want to go back in time and move to where you were!! All of these. I've run almost exclusively online since 1998! Why do I keep buying dice?!?! Or cards?? Or more recently physical books?!? Here I may disagree. Not about the stuff you said about Roll20...

Listen... I've been doing this for a while now, and I've been through what you're going through. Hell, I'm going through it now. The only time there's too much prep is when you let that prep become a railroad instead of a map. I prep session by session, but only after I've made my outline. I...

What's eighteen thousand years between friends?

He employed, mistreated, then fired my sister. Edit: Garden variety employer BS. Nothing more deplorable.

I am torn. I want this, but I want Heinsoo to fail...
