Look at the bell curve. There are people that are +3 standard deviations out… And some -3…but in aggregate we are adaptable and solve a lot of problems even ones we tend to create. The real issues are psychological ones..social psychology and other domains show how our reasoning get...

Oh yeah, I specifically meant places to easily discuss on ENWorld. I am fortunate with built in groups—-my kids and lifelong pals all of whom take turns DMing! Of course we are so busy it never happens enough. I am not worried about losing games but really value talking about it here on...

I am so far not interested in what I see of phb. I am neither mad nor planning to shun all 5.5. I am hoping there are some Designated 5.0 spaces. I think it matters for “character builds” in particular.

No but I anticipate things will change. Maybe I am wrong.

I would like a separate category for threads since it looks like I will probably stick with 2014 D&D save maybe the dmg and Maybe? MM? I am sure I will get some adventures. But if I am talking about character design for my favorite class, I won’t want Dewback I can’t use.

Was thinking same thing. Port that monster over…

I am really torn. I have really enjoyed 5e but am a 1e fan. Really played it from mid to late 80s as kids right up to 3rd in 2000, skipping 2e. When we play 5e, I enjoy lower levels a lot. Staying there longer makes sense if you like that kind of play. Milestone is ok but if you like more...

I don’t know…but my friend has a flying monkey familiar. He usually rides on his shoulders and looks ahead. My friend is cautious and paranoid and wanted him to face backwards…we asked about the logistics of this and if the monkey wears pants while he presumably was seated on the characters...

So literally every post is about what you don’t like. Every one…unless its drive by snark about what someone else likes. Are you even having fun with your hobby? If so crack a smile and talk about what you do like my man. Talk about your favorite character or some sh..t and break it up a little.

It all sucks. It’s all a conspiracy: you have been tricked into liking X. The only reason you don’t like Y is that the people who wanted Y to succeed tricked you into not liking it enough. But y hey wanted me to like Y too…? Wait. I…am just going to…so am I supposed to only trust myself...

Clearly discouraging anyone from owning and buying a book is not a good business model. What people forget is this was not the modern age of big business RPGs…these folks were the first generation. I think this was being treated as looking at the DMs notes behind the screen. Owning the dmg is...

No and we don’t. But…if my goals are to wargame, I won’t accept the OPs explanation no matter how artful. Its just a mismatch in desired style and approach and it’s ok.

Part of the disconnect is probably about the nature of the challenge and not the language used. When people are hoping to level up and get better gear, it’s to better face the challenges that already exist. There is a belief or hope that the world “is” and that they need to be ready for it in...

That unfortunately sounds like a mismatch in gaming preferences. It reminds me of people who only play say euro games being expected to play some traditional wargame or worse one that is traditional and has player elimination. It is just not a fit. The jargon…I admit it’s not rational but if...

Dunno man. We had the same issue with Samsung. We bought the most basic thing possible to replace it… Unfortunately I learned a lot of old reliables have been replacing metal parts with plastic too. Disposable everything. Might as well get the cheaper version if they are all trash.

I kind of like that but wonder how it would play out in very remote regions. Short rests and hope for the best? Sure makes it more challenging. What about big dungeons? Would you allow resting outside the dungeon at camp if creatures are not assailing them? Not criticism, just thinking of...

I was going to skip breakfast but all of these posts about pizza combinations has me ready to rummage. None of them mentioned pineapple. Not a coincidence…
