    D&D General My experience with popular D&D session summarizer tools

    One of my groups plays over Zoom and its tools do a decent job of summarizing but there is a delay in processing the meeting into a summary and I usually have to fix it’s treating players and characters as separate people and a few other things it consistently gets wrong (like monster names).

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I love 5 Guys. There is a smash burger clone nearby here in Pittsburgh called Moonlit Burger that is pretty friggin’ good. Back when they were around NYC, I was all about Umami Burger.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Campaign: game day setup

    Cool set up. I might suggest setting up on the long side of the table for easy access for you with a player at each end and two across from you (assuming you have 4)

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Yeah, that’s not advice i can imagine ever taking as I don’t see that as remotely “overthinking” or a concept I personally find to have much value. Edit to add: But I found a way that makes sense in my head, and ultimately that is all I need.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Hmm. Yeah, I see now. Maybe a fail means a reckless flight from combat and on a success you might have them choose to flee anyway, but it'd be more of a strategic retreat.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    I hope this is okay to ask in this thread, since it is a small question and I don't want to start a new thread just for it, but I was looking at the morale rules and it struck me as odd that failing a Wisdom check is what makes monsters flee. I would think that failing would make a monster do...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    TFW when you check your settings because all of a sudden you are only seeing 2 posts per page on a thread, but then you realize that it only appears that way because you literally have everyone else posting in that thread on ignore.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Creation- How to Apply Auction Techniques

    When the topic of stat drafts come up, there is inevitably one or more people who object on principle and can only think of it as competitive, but while it can certainly be played that way, I have never run a stat draft that was not cooperative to some degree and where everyone didnt get stats...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    That sounds like an amazing adventure/encounter! And it also make me think, perhaps too obviously, of one of my favorite poems (by anonymous): Westron wynde when wyll thow blow the smalle rayne downe can Rayne Cryst yf my love were in my Armys And I yn my bed Agayne Or transcribed into...

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    Scenes from last Friday's session and here is a link to a Instagram reel of my setting up the table before the game started: HOW I RUN IT on Instagram: "We left off our previous in-person session mid-encounter. Traveling overland from the Penzig Villages to Hommlet-at-Hookhill the Prophecized...

    Shadowdark Good starting shadowdark adventure to use with kids?

    This convo makes me wonder if I could get away with running a truncated version of B3 - Palace of the Silver Princess.

    Shadowdark Good starting shadowdark adventure to use with kids?

    I may be running a short “D&D” (I’ll use shadowdark) for a group of kids ranging from 8 to 12 during a big family camping trip (my guess is there will be up to 7 of them, but as few as 2). Anyone have recommendations for an adventure? I am looking for something that is ideally classic-feeling...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I recently learned on this very site that not being informed on a topic in no way invalidates your opinion about it.
