    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    When I still cared about alignment, I felt 4e did it best with its 5 points, but I don't really think alignment has mattered much since 3e when there were still effects that were impacted by it.

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    That looks awesome, his art style looks like it would work well for lord of the rings.

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    I might have taken the same character concept to a new game, but generally not the same actual character. More than likely, even the same concept would have been rare as I'd probably play other concepts that I have kicking around.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I'm not sure about that, but maybe they've decided in-person play is their focus while supporting other VTT providers. They have a lot of roll20 assets that they've created so they might be thinking that's a better way forward for online play rather than their own bespoke system.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I killed my subscription when I realised I wasn't really using it anymore. I do have a couple of characters on the generator but I can comfortably fit them within the 6 character limit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feat, Magic Items, or Multiclassing? Which do you choose?

    Magical Items. I can live without feats and just use ability increases. I like having the option to multiclass but can also live without it, I probably more often than not go single classed anyway. Unless it was a very specific campaign, I feel like magical items are part of the allure of DnD...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    Planescape was definitely a highlight for me. I quite liked that ravenloft guidebook as well, not sure when it came out. Can't remember if I have the book or just DDB access. I think after a while I ended up with DDB versions only, except for Planescape where I bought a proper copy.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I wonder if those are mainly the GenX at the older end of the scale. The younger half trends closer to millennials, I think I'm in that bracket where they've added in the term xennial to cover the crossover. In regard to work and social skills. I make sure to get tasks done for work, always...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    The more I think about it, the more I think I must have completely missed it returning. I remember using the demo and thinking it was great then the window you mentioned must have hit and I just assumed it was done for good.

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    I have all three editions of Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea. Never played it. One can dream though.

    D&D General [ART THREAD]Your Personal Favorite D&D Art For a Monster

    I'm not an Erol Otus fan either, but his art did capture the weirdness of early DnD.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I guess my thought was that WotC never continued with their etools, I don't even recall Code Monkey Publishing being touted as continuing the tools, if they were officially licenced to continue them, I'd have thought it would be better marketed, BUT it could also be my memory, 3e was such a long...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Yeah, the character creator was great, but I recall that they were planning on some sort of digital table or map software that also fell through.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    Didn't something similar happen in 4e? 3e also had character gen tools that I don't recall being further developed than a demo with the player's handbook. Seems that when it comes to tools like this they don't want to follow through.

    D&D General [ART THREAD]Your Personal Favorite D&D Art For a Monster

    I absolutely love his art, it helped define planescape and, while I'll never know what I'd have thought of a different artist doing the art for the setting, I think TSR made the eight choice in choosing him.

    D&D 4E What AI thinks about 4th Edition

    I think all of the DnD stuff that it's seen has meant that it drags some 5e terms into answers around earlier editions.

    D&D General Do you track ammunition?

    Definite maybe, I think we don't bother but I'm not paying attention to the one player that has a bow in our games.

    Must You Tell Your Players What Adventure You Are Running?

    I think for a sandbox like campaign where you've sprinkled various short adventures that there is no need to mention what the adventure is, ideally they should find out in game if they have a chance to find out about Raven's ruin but even then they don't necessarily need to know it is a specific...

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    You're right. I did mean 5e but I guess I did say wotc dnd which would include that.

    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    Nah, for that you need to look outside wotc dnd. There's bound to be homebrew or 3rd party products with a base fighter class you want, but it doesn't really fit as well in the base game as it currently stands.
