    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I have. Met them in droves when running 5E. It‘s one of the many reasons I quit running it. The players pushed to rest as often as possible and refused to push through. Town invaded? Don‘t care. Prince sacrificed? Don‘t care. If they couldn‘t start every fight as close to full as possible they‘d...

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    Yeah. I didn’t mean it is Eberron with different proper nouns. But it feels really inspired by Eberron. The last war, picking up the pieces, the houses, the feeling of another impending war, the pulp action, possibly noir intrigue, etc.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Damn. I know I can be…a lot…but damn, at least I’m not that bad. # I didn’t want to get out the big guns, but I need homes for these kittens. Free to a good home. Near Portland, OR. No. The photo is not altered. They are just that damned cute.

    At a guess, it'll be three games a month so each table plays once a month.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    AD&D came out in 1977-1979. Let's say 1979 for ease of use. That was 46 years ago. So in another 36 years we'll be able to check in with the 5E cohort to see if this holds water.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A lot more extensive list of films than I imagined. I knew some of these were theirs, but damn. So many more that I love. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine_Dream_filmography

    Critical Role Reveals Soldiers' Table and Motivations

    Honestly, it feels more like Eberron with the names changed than anything else. Maybe that's just me.

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    Just announced today. Another Kickstarter for Dragonbane. I'm not familiar with this setting, but judging from the reaction from long-time fans of Drakar och Demoner, this is a big deal. It appears to be a line of dark Nordic myth and fantasy setting books...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Pretty sure. Yeah. The game is an inanimate object, most likely in the form of a book or boxed set. It has no intentionality. It has no consciousness. It's neither haunted nor magical. It's lifeless. Only the people who play it can behave in any particular way. They might be attracted to that...
