Honestly, your certainty doesn’t leave much room for discussion. I don’t need to approach conversation like a boxing match anymore. Enjoy

What I don’t share is the general sense of pessimism. Great games can come from small studios or large ones. I’ve seen a great franchise be wrecked by the same studio that made the first two installments. Larrian keeping it is no guarantee of success either. Game franchises come and go, some...

Drag and drop 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hang on there. This isn’t being used on a party member or an ally. The OP set the premise that this was the big boss fight of a campaign against a ghost possessed dragon. Hence in my opinion it being reasonable to expect an attack roll or a saving throw. No one I’ve seen thinks that you should...

Very good reviews of the two systems I’ve used extensively (Roll20 and Foundry). I won’t comment on the systems I’ve not used. I kinda feel that Roll20 is the way in if you play D&D and then Foundry is the system once you familiarize yourself with VTT. [Unless you play WFRP, in which case just...

Could the same argument not be said about BG1. Same with BG2. If this opinion carried the day then we would never have seen BG3. We don’t know what might come down the line. For me Bg4 doesn’t have to be better. It just has to be a good enjoyable game.

I also like the template. I’m converting some tropical diseases from Lustria book for WFRP4e into D&D for Tomb of Annihilation.

So I guess that fits with what I’ve said. A small handful of corner case spells that have very small damage compared to other spells of their level. Or in several of these cases very specific circumstances where they are useful. You’re not going to make a basic principle of magic on Magic...

The new tarrasque is an absolute beast. Thunderous bellow and the full suite of powers it has is truly terrifying. It’s worth saying the tarrasque has been changed so that instead of regenerating from a speck of flesh a new tarrasque now awakens somewhere else in the world. There are many...

Which ones? I think it’s hard to discuss these things in an abstract sense. Is this a single corner case spell or a common occurance? This is why I also asked @ECMO3 for his examples. My general principle is that offensive effects unless very minor and/or very costly should offer a save or...

You’re the DM you can rule it how you like. I just made it clear how I would improvise touching a creature that doesn’t want to be touched. Banishment and lightning bolts have saves to avoid/resist. As other people have been said the touch spells that don’t require attack rolls or saving throws...

Confidence I think more than everything else. Plus as you say, familiarity means that you can really enjoy the details and allow the players to indulge in the experience. Also as a general rule the five adventures that make up the campaign can be tackled in many different ways depending on...

Ok, so I will present two options. If you play on Foundry then you should absolutely go with 4th edition WFRP released by Cubicle 7. It is massively supported and automated. The modules are extremely cost effective and contain all the rules within the modules. The core foundry will set you back...

Yeah. So wise. A lot of that comes from Pratchett who had a way of seeing the work in an extremely practical but funny way. A quote from Equal Rites I just read… “She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to...

Great that makes recommendations easier. Last question. What platform do you play online?

Are you worried about Alzheimer’s? Kinda feel being able to publish at least 6 novels after the diagnosis is amazing which just goes to show, never surrender.

I decided to go back to my childhood and re-read the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. I had forgotten how formative they were about my concept of fantasy. I finished Colour of Magic and Light fantastic and now onto Equal Rites which is so funny and provocative. It also introduces Granny...

So a couple of questions if you don’t mind… Do you play face to face or online? How important is a physical book to you? Do you prefer published adventures or do you definitely want to write your own? Do you need the rules all in one book? I can’t recommend WFRP enough but there are three...

Touching a creature in combat that doesn’t want to be touched should require an attack roll. The reason break enchantment doesn’t require one is because the spell doesn’t envision a hostile version of removing someone’s charm or possession. In the same way cure wounds doesn’t require an attack...

I’m very excited about the Dale Lands which has always felt like the most English part of there have been some great products like the Campaign Setting Box and products like Ruins of Myth Drannor, Doom of Daggerdale, The Randal Morn Trilogy and Shadowdale: Scouring of the Land. Very excited to...
