Aren’t there ways to focus in an adventure that don’t double down on cruelty to noncombatants in the part of main characters? In one of my favorite fantasy films, Conan, the adventure is a bloodbath but I don’t see ongoing murder of children. Conan’s people are cut down early on…saying you...

I have a fat cleric now. And finding a good mini for him is not easy! Same for my old evil 1e barbarian…like a lineman with a belly! But the minis are all ripped or movie-conan like. Come on! We need belly and eye patch and…character

I play “mostly” blade pact warlocks. Celestial and fiend. Eldritch smite on a 20 is fabulous. If you use feats like shadow or fey touched, you can do a lot. If armor bothers you and you like str based fighters like me, starting as cleric is great. I had celestial patron warlock who had a...

you have a cool character concept?! Don’t you know the company clubs baby seals? How can you enjoy being an imaginary hero when people are spending too much on plastic monsters?!

I think that it does matter in this: if you play with a doucherocket DM/players you better keep things tight and limited. But if your group tries to be reasonable and fair, you can have some more open ended-ness to give more room to creativity. I have noticed those “scarred” by bad DMs often...

I know I don’t agree with…a lot…of what some companies choose to do. But this is not cause for me to make every discussion about your favorite class turn to those grievances. And this says nothing about the many deep dives into motives and conspiracies that may not be linked to actual events…

I am less interested in corporate news than some folks…I know there is a place for many interests. I can pass by what is not interesting. But the interjection of WOTC sux! At every turn is overdone. Even more annoying is when this becomes an indictment of whole political/economic systems...

Not only do I like the paint job, I think that is a cool model. I wish more fantasy minis and art had a more grounded but detailed look like this. Super cool

Sorry don’t want to interfere with the current debate…just wanted to offer an alternative. With regard to “salute” would the person hearing this salute open hand facing out like the British or flat like an American salute? (No, I don’t know the technical terms). Yes, I know this is D&D but my...

I am writing up a Zariel Celestial warlock. Nice synergy with the bonus to fire and radiant damage. Not for one second do I lament this…nor the armor prof for my mountain dwarf blade boon warlock. I mean tiefling should always be better warlocks too I suppose. I don’t know what 2024 will...

The game is not “hard” most of the time. Play what is interesting. Yes, I still use racial ASIs. Playing suboptimal (not ineffectual) and unexpected things makes the game more colorful.

WS this just saving money? Or were they looking to change direction? In the first case (yawn). Happens all the time. Some industries are very unstable. Sucks to get canned and don’t wish it on good workers… In the later case would love to know why the need for a change…

I find it hard to argue about something I have not read or seen…and harder still to find conspiracies within conspiracies where there is no malfeasance. I do however find it easy to dig in and enjoy what I am doing with the good chance that is how it will stay…

I remember getting some metal minis in college but thought it was really cool that I used a d4 as a campfire in the middle of the table… Theater of the mind with the most basic props…I do recall using dice for characters marching order. Love minis now though…love terrain but some Of the most...

I think I am a chump. While people quibble about stuff I am thinking “f it! I would play another celestial patron warlock but this time with a Zariel tiefling!” We are watching LOTR as a family and I and digging Gandalf all over again. “picture it! Sicily 194–…no I mean Zariel tiefling...

They are so so spoiled…they sleep in my bed and I feed them bits while I pack a lunch for work…I like them better than most people by a mile

Is my wife reading this? Of course I do! Small quantities, nothing too bad. Just enough to make them asshats

At people? at people?

Yeah man…I hear that. But sadly doing for the family really locks a person in. By the time I pay for kids sports, pets, housing and transportation… Ok and my miniatures… my game hobby expenditures are kind of up there…damn. Hypocrisy!
