Meh, I think that’s distinction guided by prejudice. The problem with both site is separating the wheat from the chaff. Or finding the needles in the haystack. even if both are loaded with needles. Like you I love MT Black’s stuff, but because DM’s guild is so vastly more popular, his stuff...

So many long interesting and revealing posts, thank you everyone for sharing. Just a FYI though, none of you are the target audience. Not cause you’re old, but because you spend hours online discussing whether or not you’re the target audience, it‘s cute you do, but says you are way to...

Sure, since there are half-stuff and I don’t blink at Dragonborn/gnome unions I guess i also consider all playable races somehow genetically related, but, not anything that I’ve ever bothered to parse out cause the 100k year distant family tree thing isn’t a subject of any of my games. Falls...

I feel like this very great game has not been very successful. It’s often discounted, think I picked up three books for it along with a bunch of forbidden lands stuff for like 10 bucks a year ago. Though, with the free league stuff, once you get the pdfs on a discount, since so beautiful, does...

Goodman was like the least hostile to the OGL shenaginans, and here we have WoTC pulling the plug on the best use of their old adventures. Shame. I’m guessing we’ll see more useless crap like the Against the Giants thing from Yawning Portal where WoTC couldn’t even be bothered to know the size...

I hope so, but I’m sure they will keep getting made. Maybe if they make less money, less money will get spent making them, and they will have to, oh I don’t know, try being creative.

So as a PbtA curious person, I wonder is that common to PbtA games or an artifact of Root being a board game? Cause in cooperative board games, or any board game, only being able to do one of 5 things is common. Lots of stuff you cannot do, as opposed to RPGs where there is much more freedom.

He can be right about Good Omens but wrong about Queen. That said, Queen put out like 6 albums since 1980 and the world wouldn’t be that worse off w/o them. There’s a reason their regard was at a nadir when this review was written, a decade of mostly garbage preceding it. 70’s Queen, sure...

D&D has too many spells. Even just using the PHB Wizard gains access to 34 new spells at level 3, they can pick 2. That’s an absurd amount of new options to choose from. In addition to the lvl. 1 30 spells they Could consider or swap. If you’ve been playing for 20 years, sure, really, it’s a...

It’s no pg wood house, or it is, derivative whatever, not masterpiece

The Guardian article highlighted how boring as shell Good Omens is to randos, none of those quotes were the least bit arousing. I’m with Joe’s review. I know that’s not popular but the books pretend at profundity, and are overrated by genre fans. I allow that others love, but, fine hate me...

So, best 3rd party adventures is tough…but I’ll go with M.T. Black’s Complete Adventures Vol. 1. It was tough because second place was Vol. 2. You should definitely buy both, Vol. 1 is more standard LMoP type stuff, but better, and lower level than Vol. 2, most all for below 5 which isn’t...

I really want to engage on this but darm, why why why can’t people just enjoy playing dnd.

all the people posting before me being jerks I guess don’t play team games.

It means non aggression pact In any game I’ve ever played.

What D&D should learn is ignore everything video games do well and focus on what they can’t do. The lesson from video games is they do tracking arrows, encumbrance, and random monsters way way better, but what they don’t do is ‘I set this NPC on fire and cast fly and take a poop on the...

d&d is about the four people at the table, if their journey was such that they became leaders of armies, then yeah, game does dissapoint in the lack of rules for that. Doesn’t have stuff for general level combat. But that’s not how most fiction goes is it, the hero’s hold the east gate, they...

Love the salt thing, ran into some flavored salt yesterday described as “low in sodium”…only guess on that is that is one serving is like 10% daily sodium or something.

just because it happened to you doesn’t make it interesting

I would argue that it’s more of a pastime than a game. True “games” have built in objectives, like checkmating a king, that you deploy the rules and materials to achieve. I find playing playing Civilization against others or on the hardest difficulties just ruins it for me because all my...
