    Diablo RPG Kickstarter signup is live

    Watching the d4 trailer where she forms from the blood of those slain was pretty awesome, absolutely horrifying. One of the side quest chains follows the path of Elias and the others in the clip as he goes to summon her. I think the side quests are great for snippets of lore, though I don't...

    Diablo RPG Kickstarter signup is live

    It was better after they released the expansion, before then I'd only played through the story of the base game then I quit because I didn't find the gameplay very fun.

    D&D 5E (2024) Purple Dragon Knight as a background?

    Maybe even purple dragon knight as a title; as an example, background could be urchin, class could be ranger, position and title could be purple dragon knight. Then the pdk subclass just becomes the generic name of banneret. Maybe it calls out that many pdk fighters choose it.

    When you play in person, where do you play? (Poll)

    I selected all 3, last game I played I was at the DMs home, I've also run games at their home, and we often play at a bar when it's closed.

    This might be the first kickstarter in a long time that I back, I love diablo though I have more fun when my friends play and they've sadly given up on d4. I'll be keeping an eye on it, even if I don't back it, I'll likely pick it up later.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    A friend asked me the other day if I was interested in Cosmere, I needed him to explain what it was.

    D&D 5E (2024) No way to end Rage on your turn with 2024 rules?

    Which is a shame, because now you're limited in the characters you can use barbarian to define. One of the concepts I had for a character ages ago was that the rage was just a power up, sort of like going super-saiyan or gaining a battle focus that lets you dish out more damage without getting...

    D&D 5E (2024) No way to end Rage on your turn with 2024 rules?

    I'd say ask your DM if you can add the bonus action rule back in. You're ending a limited resource early to use another limited resource, sounds fine to me.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Every now and then I think back to the cartoons I watched in the 80s, a lot of these I remember but a lot I'd have not thought of if this playlist didn't already include the intro for them.

    D&D General Belts of Giant Strength?

    I think a 16 is fine, I'd even accept a 14 if starting high level.

    D&D 5E (2024) No way to end Rage on your turn with 2024 rules?

    Maybe it was an oversight, but you are correct, there doesn't seem to be a way to end it early now. I'm also now realising that they can't rage in heavy armour which isn't new for 2024, just something I never noticed as I rarely play barbarians.

    D&D General Belts of Giant Strength?

    I think it's only really ramped up in importance in 5e. 3e, damage was still based on strength and you needed a feat to use dexterity for hit bonus. 4e it was just another attack stat which was tied to class powers so it didn't matter as much.

    D&D General Belts of Giant Strength?

    True, but in this case where you're starting at high level, it seems a bit power gamey. Fine if you want to do that, but I think I'd require some investment in strength.

    D&D General Belts of Giant Strength?

    I like the boosting items, though like you if they are playing a warrior and choose to go 8 strength and replace it with a belt or gauntlets then I'd likely veto that, they should at least have a decent beginning strength with the belt being "found" during their adventuring career.

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    You sound more organised than me, I'll often start a campaign with little to no idea as to where it will lead. The last one I ran (quite some time ago now) had events that would unfold that players could get into or ignore as they wished. First few adventures led into something that was more of...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Depends on the players. Are they power gamers or just there to have fun. I think in just a regular game of players who don't spend a lot of time online checking builds, that samurai player would be doing fine and the group would be having fun.

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Yeah, the theory crafting was crazy, I also thought the tier lists were pretty stupid or existed only for the theory crafters. The majority of people would play whichever class they liked and have fun.

    This has put the image of Torm and Bahamut flying into battle, Torm as a dragon rider, striking fear into their enemies.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    I went through that list and definitely remember 4 of those shows (some may not have reached NZ) and there are a couple of maybes. It's not something I've really thought of, but the sheer amount of shows and movies we've had since the television was created is truly staggering.

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Campaign I ran went to exactly 7. We could have continued, there were other parts of the world to explore but life, ah, finds a way to make scheduling difficult. I'm in a level 12 campaign, but that's because we started there, it's also a more casual campaign rather than a more serious play...
