    D&D General Neurodivergence & Magic

    I guess things depends on how you view magic. Is it more wizardry and you must gather the right materials and say the right words and study the right words and markings. Is it more Sorcerer in that you are born with it and suddenly you know how to do it without learning the right rules like...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ultra Pri Offers Drizzt Forgotten Realms Accessories.

    If I open it in another tab, then I can zoom in. It is still hard to read and I only know by knowing some on the world already.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms book trailer

    The one minute video did not show much. It did name several of the big names in the Realms, but I admit not knowing Karlach, but I do not play Baldur's Gate (BG3). It kind of names a few locations and such, but the video does not say anything about what is in the actual books. A bit of a...

    Worlds of Design: Who Gets the Crown?

    I tend to not use succession in may of the game. Things like politics tend to have more elements and mysteries that my players do not want to invest in. They have been on adventures where there is a noble that needs help or a mission, but this tends to be the quest-giver NPC that comes and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ultra Pri Offers Drizzt Forgotten Realms Accessories.

    I kind of like this seen in the link above. Did not see a price though. I have seen others similar that people have made themselves and use the page inserts. (From the site linked) The Dungeon Master is also considered in the line with the Premium Dungeon Master’s Screen, a three-fold...

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    Smart monsters like some already mentioned are harder to run. Also some of the PC races like elves who are long-lived. A bit like the Hobbit movie and the elf king not wanting to waste elf lives since normal human and dwarf lives are gone so soon that it makes an elf life so much more...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025 Starter Set quick unboxing.

    So quick, I missed the inside of the box and only seen the shaky cover.

    D&D General Need help

    I voted blue since the campaign takes place in a desert instead of a forest kingdom. Just made this last part up though.

    D&D General Garys House Tour

    I think my wife would divorce me if I did this. She still reminds me of the time she watched Monty Python and Clash of the Titans in clay-mation.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Sounds like when faith enters the discussions.

    Replace AI art with real art and charge for it? Looking for advice.

    I would not invest money to remake the older game. It seems like people who want it already have it and an updated version would not likely sell to make your money back. I would invest that money into the new product to make that one better.

    What are your thoughts on roll-under/roll-high mechanics?

    It sounds easier for those who cannot handle 1d20 and then add 5. Might make things faster. I think people have been conditioned to roll high (at least coming from D&D) and to roll low might take some time.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    I believe there are things we cannot explain, whether these are ghosts like we think are unknown. Same for aliens and such. In 500 years, people will look back and call us simple for some of our beliefs like we do for older civilizations.

    D&D General D&D Releases New Japanese Campaign 'Oni’s Right Hand'

    I noticed this myself and was going to comment. I heard on the radio about changing language and the death of the semicolon. With the death of formal writing and rise of texting, it's use is down 50 percent; but I hardly ever used it to begin with. Maybe vowels are interchangeable now as...

    D&D 4E Magic throw weapons and multi-attack powers

    It was more of the specific rules trumps the general rule. While normally a free action between attacks might not be allowed, the specific of an attack power or multi-attack trumps this and allows the action to happen. I seem to recall a daggerbust power that allowed a dagger attack against...

    What is adventuring?

    People gather around the table to roll some dice and get away from reality for a while. Without the excitement of combat, I could just read a book. The other parts are also needed with treasure and cool leveling things, but that only leads to more combat and cooler monsters to kill. Like...

    D&D General Belts of Giant Strength?

    I might just let things go if the game had only a few more sessions and the player brought something in. I do not think the effort in limiting things would be worth the arguments. If I was giving out one of these in an ongoing campaign, I think I would have a + to STR like others mentioned...
