Very interesting reading this thread and it’s made me aware of something I’ve only started doing since DMing for new people. I would never ask a player to describe something that I have added to the world. I would always expect that to be my job. However I do regularly ask players ‘what would...

You say this but many European cities - particularly tourist heavy ones can become extremely quiet on back streets in the late evening as everyone is either at dinner, in a bar, or home. Obviously varies. I remember walking around Venice at 9pm and being amazed that we saw 3 people in about 30...

It isn’t enough to just show the gore either. It’s why I’m a big fan of shows and books like the Witcher which show the full range and the consequences without glorifying it (like Game of Thrones). Generally when someone dies in the Witcher it is in some way sad, because protagonists and...

I don’t know. You read the 1 star reviews on Amazon and you realize there are some pretty unsavory people out there. I’m kinda ok that they don’t like the system. I’m hoping they go far away!

Anyone else think like this is the kinds shiz we talk about when there aren’t any products to talk about! Hurry up and release something WotC. We’re going crazy in here. Anyone seen any cool 5e compatible stuff recently? What campaigns have been released. Anything that can beat Dungeons of...

Sure but I was talking about the Amazon reviews and what they tend to say. There are a few 1 stars on there too. They read as pretty jaded.

That’s not what the reviews say for the record. They pretty consistently say the game is great and the books are beautiful. Which is want people who aren’t jaded tend to think.

I think the technical term is detractor. Rather than hater. It’s ok to be a detractor. It must really suck to be surrounded by D&D chat all the time if you detract it so much. For the things you’re really interested in get so little traction.

I voted 10 because I think it’s an excellent system. I DM or play in 3 current regular campaigns and I’m prepping another 3. Spending about 8 hours a week on average on the game. Why on earth would I do that if I didn’t think it was great? My company uses net promoter score a lot. We’re...

If your main issue is that you don’t know the rules properly - and assuming that is a problem for you because not everyone would care - then the obvious answer is to learn the rules. To put it another way git good. I still occasionally misremember things from 3e and pathfinder as being in 5e...

His group are forcing him to change against his will. Assuming he’s tried bargaining…The off ramp is to quit. Which is of course everyone’s choice.

I mean player facing stuff absolutely does concern me when I DM because I want players to have fun at my table. It was a summary of PHB changes though. I like the MM changes I’ve used so far but of course I’ve only used a relatively small selection of them in the 6 months the book has been out...

I’m not intending to come across as a fanboy. I spend equally as much time playing WFRP which couldn’t be more different as a game. I just think for what D&D does well, 2024 does it better. They aren’t massive improvements. They’re many many small improvements. IMHO. I probably praise more in...

We were never gonna get a compendium. It doesn’t make sense for new players or from a business perspective. We got upgraded system that took the best from the supplements to date. In such a way that you can largely still use anything they didn’t include. Sounds like a win win. If the changes...

I’ve only ever had one TPK. A party of 4th level players were attacked by a spellcasting Drider. It went first and were all bunched up. It fireballed them. They all stayed in the same position. It fireballed them again. Unlucky saves and a good roll for damage. Game over.

Yes. It was either overpowered or underpowered depending on whether you guessed the spell level right. With no mechanic to work out what level of spell was being cast. It was a game of battleship where the DM can see both sides of the board and gets to decide where his battleships are after the...

With my rating I think how likely am I to recommend it to someone else. Not as opposed to other games but in isolation. I guess that’s the same principle. If I’m rating a restaurant I don’t mark it down because there’s another restaurant in town that I happen to like as well. Folks of course...

I mean we’ve been playing it a lot throughout the playtest - trying things as they were released and switching to the new rules felt really organic. Our main group of longest term players (all 20+ years) see it as overwhelmingly positive. Things I see as straight upgrades Weapon Masteries...

It’s really ironic actually. The WFRP 4e system gained a lot of tweaks and adjustments over its release. Adding options, tweaking rules and adding alternatives. Similar to Xanathar’s and Tasha’s et al. The WFRP community has been asking for an updated 4.5 set of rules to bring it all together...
