    D&D 5E (2014) 5.0 Retrospective. Races Most/Least Popular (anecdotes).

    I've seen one Dragonborn in a in store one shot game night session. I don't mind them but they don't grab me like other races do. Gnomes are very popular among the people I play with but they tend to just be sorcerers or druids, rather than any other class. Halflings however, rarely ever see...

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    I had everything for the 1st edition and we played several campaigns under it. I loved the character generation system with all the career progressions. I could be interested when this gets rereleased. Only ever played Twilight 2000 once or twice but did enjoy. I could consider picking that up...

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    It's less about year/time gone by as it is the emotions those games provoked then compared to now. I love the classic D&D archetype that was basic, 1st and 2nd edition of D&D, for example. I have great memories of 3.x but it wasn't the same because the D20 system had different mechanics than the...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Deleted. Didn't realise I had already replied this thread back in January.

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    I prefer it. Box text makes it so much easier. You can always modify it or self describe. It just gives you an idea. I know one thing my players hate about box text is room descriptions. The author will describe the minutia in a room but never mention any monsters or at the very least, put that...

    D&D 5E (2024) What are your 2024 houserules?

    We're stick to 2024 RAW as much as possible. The only thing we agreed to include was flanking as we are used to it from playing Pathfinder.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    I cant answer that because I only ever played 2014 once and that was a short online campaign during Covid, so I wasn't familiar enough and I don't really remember. My experience largely has been Pathfinder 1st which we played since it's launch until recently when I decided to pick up the new...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Combat Tedious on Purpose?

    That's interesting because we're finding the 2024 combats to be much more enjoyable and thrilling than anything that Pathfinder or earlier editions of D&D had to offer. Combats go quite quickly and Legendary actions give a more suspenseful aspect.

    D&D General What do you want out of your D&D/RPG games?

    I'm a traditional D&Der. Roleplay is fine when it happens (no amateur dramatics though, thank you) but I like a story to tell, dungeons and locations to explore, treasure to find and monsters to slay. Exactly what D&D does straight out of the box.

    D&D General Should the DM roll in the open?

    I used to roll behind my screen for decades. It was the idea that it generates suspense in the players and because I'm not fudging the rolls in anyone's favour. However, the last few years I have thrown that idea out of the window because after years of DMing I realised suddenly that seeing that...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM imposed restrictions to the game (+)

    As someone just coming back to D&D with 2024, I have the following restrictions: 2024 books only and only if I own a copy, or you can bring a copy for me to look at first. No 3PP books at all. No evil alignments. Saying that I have expanded the PHB races with Goblin, Sentinel (Warforged)...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    This module cropped up in an ad on Facebook and looked interesting to slot into my Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign. It's bit of a loaded site based adventure but with a few tweaks it'll do nicely. Picked it up on DMsGuild on pdf.

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    I have this one and still use it frequently to this day.

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    I generally don't look at it from a £££ perspective, although if a PDF is near it's print price I won't touch it. PDFs should be a lot cheaper IMO. As the DM I look at whether something will be of use in my campaign or have something I would like to incorporate. Adventures have to sound fun and...
