    Last week, the Level 14-16 party beat Graz'zt, 2 Marilith and a Storm Giant...easily

    2024 monsters, especially at higher levels, have been toughened up. (Though spell casting and spell like abilities have been oversimplified). Not sure how much of a difference it would make here but I thought it was worth noting.

    Best Horror Role Playing Game

    Am I the first person to mention Ennie winning Mothership in this thread? So Mothership. Space horror mini-toolkit with several adventures. Also agree that CoC is a true triumph of game design. D20 CoC is a great horror/mythos resource.

    D&D 3.x Mike Selinker about the release of 3.0 D&D

    i got that first printing PHB, with the CD and the monsters in the back, and was running something almost right away. Of course the character generator on the CD did not really work, and other complications would ensue, but I do remember being pleased with those first sessions.

    D&D 5E (2024) Starter Set and Stranger Things Set video.

    If it works why stop at 1? But then they would be really leaning into a bifurcation, of more casual board game style, and a more hardcore one that presumably migrates more and more to D&D beyond. Like one is basic, the other more advanced.

    D&D 5E (2024) Starter Set and Stranger Things Set video.

    The MM, Dragon Delves, 2 box sets and 3 setting books makes 7 for the year, which ties 2019 for most 5e releases in a year, at least in print. Otherwise you are going well back into 4e for that many.

    D&D 5E (2024) Starter Set and Stranger Things Set video.

    As for Tod. Apparently they were doing him the favor, or something like that. There is certainly space for better RPG content on Youtube. Hope it works out for him.

    D&D 5E (2024) Starter Set and Stranger Things Set video.

    So setting Tod aside (ahem) for now. 2024 D&D is three very big books and is definitely not simpler nor (in spite of many organizational changes) does it feel particularly more accessible then 2014. New player acquisition remains a big question mark. But they clearly have a plan, and at least...

    (Netflix) K-POP DEMON HUNTERS

    I was actually surprised that it was not in Korean. It felt a little weird. And was skeptical and didn't watch it until I realized what a big hit it is there (and how it has been embraced by a lot of the Kpop community). Now it is a huge hit around the world. You think the K-wave is fading...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    Yesterday, I heard "min-max" used by a young person in a very non-game related context. He did basically mean "optimize".

    D&D General D&D/TTRPG as therapeutic escape

    François Froideval Passes Away

    This is basically also my understanding. This was one of those TSR is almost bankrupt moments, and Gygax had said he put out a lot of things with his name on them to save the company. As for M. Froideval, he was also supposed to be working on 2E with Gygax. What that may have looked like has...

    D&D 5E (2014) It Took Us a Nearly a Year to Complete "When a Star Falls"
