    D&D 5E (2014) Group skill checks

    I've seen this suggested often. But I really dislike it. I don't think having people not roll the dies and use their high bonuses is especially rewarding for being good at stealth.

    Who should play Zelensky?

    I'm a bit uncomfortable at the idea of casting an actor for a role of someone that's actively defending his country and might be assassinated any day.

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    Anyway, these art piece from Beeple are absolutely incredible for a game with sci-fi themes. Couldn't ask for better art!

    Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer

    I am very excited. I was not impressed with most movies and shows that Disney released, but the rumored Kenobi movie/show has always been at the top of my wishlist.

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    Some of his work, prior to a specific year is Creative Commons to my understanding. The creator of 24XX wrote en email to Beeple to ask for permission and Beeple said something along the lines of "naughty word big companies, but if you or other indies want to use the pictures, that's all cool." If you...

    D&D General Why do you prefer DMing over Playing?

    The truth is that I personally don't really enjoy playing TTRPGs. It's not like I don't understand, I see why people enjoy it. But I don't. I don't dislike it, but it's very meh. I'm a forever DM and I'm pretty critical of other DMs around me (I won't tell them) but I think I just never played...

    RPG Sales of 2022

    I'm interested in this bundle. Does anyone know if they just dump 493 products in your library, or is it all under one umbrella bundle? I don't want to flood my library with possibly 400 products I'm not interested in for a few dozen I am.

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    I received the order today! As I mentioned, I printed a ton of other TTRPGs, but the cover of the 20XX stuff are gorgeous. Here's a picture.

    Shadow of the Demon Lord - your analysis?

    The name also doesn't say much. It sounds more like an adventure, or a setting than a game. The name also kind of implies somewhat dark, maybe gritty? Where Dungeons & Dragons is much more neutral and describe much better the general fantasy genre. For years I thought Shadow of the Demon Lord...

    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    I just bought them on Itch.io on creator day and sent to to get printed at my local print shop. Bought a couple of micro-RPGs too. Should be receiving them on monday.

    D&D General Could Improv (and maybe Theatre) save your Roleplaying???

    I'd argue that the newer generations of player are already looking for something similar. We probably don't live in the same country, cities and are of different age, but the social circles around me have ton of new players brought to the game through Critical Role and they're pretty...

    TSR The Cult of Abaddon - Release from NuTSR/TheEvilDM

    Most of the time, I'm very critical of my own level of English as it is not my mother tongue and think that I might not have the editing skills to get something to a publishable state. And then I see this, which will sell probably more copies than I would dream for my own projects:

    D&D General Critical Role: Overrated, Underrated, or Goldilocks?

    I'll have to agree with @Deset Gled . Calling out for the rogue to come and open a door because your character has clumsy hands is not playing into the mechanics, it makes total sense in the fiction. There's other examples of things that the characters couldn't really know, or wouldn't...

    How do you handle evil?

    You're absolutely right! You found better words than me to explain it :)

    How do you handle evil?

    I allow evil characters. But I generally discourage it for new or inexperienced players. There's also certain type of tables were I won't really allow it. But if I know that I have mature players that already have a few roleplay experiences under their belt, I allow it. The thing with evil...

    [poll] which cover do you like best?

    The art for the Fey Court one is pretty cool, but the composition doesn't work really well for the cover. Everything is squished, it's crowded between the edges and the logo that takes a lot of place. The other two work much better. But as personal preference, I voted Wild Hunt.

    Torchbearer 2nd ed: first impressions

    I've recently purchased Burning Wheel and am still only halfway through the books. I've been curious about Torchbearer, but what exactly it is still hasn't fully jelled in my mind.
