    AD&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    Two fighters with identical character sheets play differently if they each have a different player. (And also do so if played by the same player and he roleplays them differently)

    D&D General Deep Thoughts on AI- The Rise of DM 9000

    A Skyrim mod was made that communicates with ChatGPT to enable freeform "voice chat" with NPCs in the game. An interesting tech demo of sorts for what we might see in future games.

    Why do RPGs have rules?

    One thing I've noticed is that whenever there's a ruleset made for an RPG, that RPG also exists. For example, there are rules for AD&D. But then there's actually a game called AD&D! I'm starting to think this isn't a coincidence. So perhaps the question is... why do rules have RPGs?

    D&D 5E (2024) Why is wotc still aiming for PCs with 10 *real word* feet of range? W/o vision range penalty/limit rules for the GM?

    The ranger in my Pathfinder 2E group has the Far Shot feat, which lets him shoot his crossbow from 240 feet before incurring a to hit penalty. When encounter distance isn't a given, I use the following BECMI-based chart to generate the distance. Outdoors, this means he'll sometimes get off a...

    Shadowdark Let's make Shadowdark classes!

    Narratively the monk can still make multiple attacks while only making one attack roll. If you want to make it feel like multiple attacks, perhaps the player rolls multiple d4s for damage or something.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Exclusive spells

    I prefer clerics, druids and mages having their own spell lists as it makes the classes feel more different.

    D&D General You thought the Mercer Effect was bad...

    Except for Chris Pine's character. He seemed to be a level 0 bard :)

    D&D General You thought the Mercer Effect was bad...

    As long as you're good with running a light-hearted campaign, or you properly set the tone if not, I don't really see it being a big problem. Plenty of groups probably already run it a little like that.

    I just started on The Wyvern's Spur, which is also quite promising so far.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    The Azure Bonds for one is quite good, and has better writing than most movies by far. It would likely be categorized in the action/adventure/drama genres. Certainly not comedy.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    If The Lord of the Rings can be done as film, I don't see why the same thing couldn't be done with some of the standalone novels. They are shorter than the LOTR books. Granted, you couldn't do something like the Dragonlance Chronicles justice as a single movie. They'd work better as a series...

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    It succeeds as a comedy, and is a major improvement over the old movie, but I'd love to see a D&D-based drama where you can recognize the Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance settings as they are portrayed in novels.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    Saw it today. The story was quite awful, and I didn't care for the visuals or most of the fight scenes. Fortunately, I was expecting the movie to portray a joke version of Forgotten Realms, and I felt the humor managed to carry the movie enough for me to enjoy it. It's a mystery to me they...
