Whoppers, Lemonheads, and Milk Duds are awesome! Mounds, Necco, and Good n Plenty are probably the worst listed… However the absolute worst, I haven’t seen in a long while, and don’t know what they were called. They were like some kind of peanut butter saltwater taffy. Came in orange and...

The cost to get into the Radient Citadel is, “well, how much you got?”. It‘s a negotiation and the supplied ethics and motivations of the people the PCs must negotiate the fees with are to hit rich people harder than poor people. How could it be any more clear?

So today I discovered Hilma af Klimt who was doing modern abstract art a decade before Kandinsky. This obsession on who invented or created is pointless, who invented TTRPGs, who first did abstract representational art, what was the first punk rock band. Ideas are in the zeitgeist and they...

I don’t find the dichotomies all that useful, I answer yes to both sides on a lot of them. I like games, I like a lot of them, I‘ll play a lot of ways if it’s done well. I know there’s a lot of people around here with strong opinions on how things should be done, not one of them. I don’t like...

I know people like to crap on the SCAG, but it’s a pretty great and interesting book If you don’t already know everything about the Sword Coast. It may not be what DM book buyers wanted, but for what it’s advertised to be, a player facing book about the Sword Coast, it’s pretty great. Lots of...

Uh, no. You don’t retain the benefits of an invocation if you no longer have it. To be fair to the player, this one is phrased differently, “you gain” rather than say “can“ or “have”. But that’s player trading on semantics, it‘s not a unique invocation who‘s benefits you retain after you give...

Yes, it’s not more complicated because pretty much everyone has already decided what subclass they’re eventually gonna pick anyway. I’d solve the one level dip multi-class issue by simply denying subclasses to whatever your secondary class is.

I don’t comment on non-D&D because I have nothing to add, and there’s nothing to discuss, for me. And, as pointed out, there’s no discussion/comments, so there’s nothing to revisit (and give more views) to see the discussion. Whereas stuff that allows more people to give their hot takes...

I would do something about great class features being so level gated…like I have a player excited to play a fiend warlock so he gets hurl through hell. Which, yeah great for you in two forking years when we make it to 14th level and you do once and then we conclude campaign.

most Genre fiction is ideally suited to play in the background while you clean your house or something. Get the books on tape free from local library.

Sounds like a great idea for a retirement community.

No poll cause I assume the answers will be wildly different. I do about 2-3 hrs a week DMing a game. One hour prepping it specifically. 2 hours browsing my owned books for fun and inspiration. 3 hours on forums discussing or reading about how I spend my time. 3 hours dreaming about TTRPGs...

It’s WAY easier to publish now than ever before. It’s way easier to get it out in print now too, PoD wasn’t a thing in the 90’s, then it was buddy who worked graves at Kinkos If you wanted to print your idea. That’s why today we have the golden age of TTRPGs, systems galore, affordable art...

Is it though, stifling the marketplace? There seems to be an abundance of alternative systems being produced, and more kickstarted every week. Seems a golden age for production of TTRPGs. Getting people to play them with you might be a challenge, but getting a new system every week doesn’t...

This feels like, and is sized for a mount on your 4ft bong, you slide the shaft over the left hand under the right, probably could have modeled it better for that purpose though. Like one of those pencil things for kids, but for a bong. Mostly it’s a boring ass shelf queen. I’d be embarrassed...

Uh the only reason anyone extends a deadline is to get more responses, so they have less than desired. You can imagine other things.

I feel like you and @EzekielRaiden both assumed I, or most people, conflate popular and high degree of satisfaction. I didn’t, though I would assume someone who keeps playing fighters has a high degree of satisfaction with them, though you do point out how, actually, that might not be true. I...

Is it a problem if a race/class is popular, with a high degree of satisfaction, but mechanically weaker than less popular options? Making the cool race/class more mechanically equal will result in it being even more popular and over-represented.

Then run whatever you feel like running from your books. Whatever you’re excited about. As DM you being interested will infect the players. The starter sets recommended here are more for new DMs than new players….except, both, and especially DoIP, have more scenarios that conclude after a...

How about an indefinite suspension, something less irrevocable.
