Backwards. It's a roll LOW system. A one is considered a double success. A 20 is considered a complications. Aramis does a good job of describing it though I got lost in the TNx, TNXX, etc. Ha! But that's because it's early and I haven't finished my coffee. 😄 This website has a really good...

Just don't fall into the Sunk Cost Fallacy. The fact that these things have been expended should not be the driving reason to continue, in other words. I think all of us here have fallen into that before. For example, I've only recently come to realize that the reason I've been jumping through...

Fallout 2d20, so far. Even though I'm probably not going to be participating much in playing RPGs (most likely), Modiphius makes gorgeous rulebooks with tons of incredible lore. I suspect that these will follow the trend.

Managing things may mean missing a game. 🤷‍♂️ Not aimed at you, @Jd Smith1 : The attitude that the game comes before being a responsible adult is one of the reasons I'm so burned out on both running and playing RPGs. The sense of entitlement that one's enjoyment is more important than another's...

Just restarted the John Carter of Mars series (I own the complete works on my Kindle). Re-igniting my love of them.

Don't be sad, @Nilbog ! The hobby has just run its course for me. I'm on to other things at the moment. However, I'm sure that I'll circle around someday to RPGs once I retire in 5 years, 246 days, 22 hours, 57 minutes from now. Yes. Yes, I'm counting! :LOL::ROFLMAO:

If I'm to be honest with myself, it's to slowly drop out of the RPG scene. I think I'm just getting burned out after 3+ decades. It just gets harder and harder for me to move towards a gaming session. I've dropped DM/GMing and that helped. But not enough. I've already sold about 90% of my...

LOL. I'm the odd man out. I love playing the medic. LOVE it.

Hit points are the health bar over the character's head. I never understand the need to have them model anything else.

Over the years several things have happened, but I suppose they all revolve around one central aspect: I'm far more permissive. I very seldom give a flat 'no'. Instead, if the answer must be negative, I tend to go "No, but..." This has open vast vistas of roleplaying as the player will throw...

Found one! Magic Beans website states: "We are a community supported gaming cafe that focuses on providing a rewarding and fun gaming and "lite fare" dining experience!" I'm gonna check it out this weekend coming up (hopefully) and I'll let everyone know what I think.

My point, while it may seem like nitpicking, was that you're blaming WotC for something that they didn't do but that someone else did. WotC did not gather, process nor disseminate the data in this thread (nor hide, mutilate or spindle it). You're harshing on the wrong people. As such, it's...

Um, Badeye said, "(Although our internal data scientists do plenty of their own research that would be far less exciting/accessible for the community.)" So, while he did say it was boring, he didn't say it was inaccessible. Just less so. There's a difference. And he isn't a part of WotC. Don't...

Lots of people have point out that it is a profitable market. Even Badeye, I think, stated such. The question really is: is it profitable enough to pull resources off of other things and/or add to the workload. Would those workerhours be better utilized somewhere else? If so, it doesn't matter...

But couldn't you or someone else do that? That is what DMsGuild is for, right?

Aerial picture? Because that looks cool!

Actually, @Tiggerunner , you should just play whatever suits you and you think is fun. These boards (and others) will just make games give you a sour stomach if you take other posters (including me) seriously. I was just curious if you knew some third-party provider who was getting big enough...

Uh, ok. Conspiracy theory it is, then.

:oops: :unsure: Does WotC really have any real competitors? I mean, sure. There are other game companies out there and providers of content, but what real impact are they having now with the resurgence of D&D and 5e? Especially, third-party providers. Surely, not even close to enough for them...

Re: Badeye: Badeye is Adam Bradford, the lead/co-founder/Head honcho of DNDBeyond.
