    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    That's all perfectly fine to me. If you had, however, said you were going to have your PC ditch the others and go find adventure somewhere else on their own while the other PCs were poking at the alien samples, that's another story ... Like, for instance, the time when I was running Legacy of...

    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    There's a world of difference between RPing your character's traits to the point of irritating your fellow players and RPing your character to the point that the GM has to create a solo campaign for you on the fly because you refuse to go along with the rest of the party. I did that once, and I...

    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    I did this when I was younger and didn't know any better. Made characters that resisted going along with the plot. One example was a non-Star Wars game using the SWSE rules. I was playing one of those high-level characters who is suffering from amnesia and so is currently low-level because they...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    That sucks! Did you try resyncing your entitlements / restoring your purchases first? I had to do the latter on my iPad before they showed up for me there. I did not purchase them separately. (I also got an email this morning letting me know they were now available on my account.) If I were in...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    There is SO MUCH good stuff in the alpha playtest version of the Elemental Evil books that I really wish had seen the light of day. I wish they'd just release it all as Unearthed Arcana if nothing else so people can just play around with it in its draft form. This new iteration of spellfire is...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    I really liked the conversational, unreliable in-world narrator approach ~ in fact, I'll go so far as to say I prefer that approach to the pithy little comments from the books' title characters that they ended up going with instead. My only real complaint with the SCAG was that it was too...

    D&D General Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons & Dragons to Be Racist

    Isn't this thread in violation of the no politics rule?

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Yeah, for instance, they're undoubtedly factoring in the cost for all the DDB coding. I'm pretty sure they said the bundle price included these DLCs at their full price. They weren't discounted as part of the bundle. IIRC, the digital bundle didn't really have a discount. It was only the...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    What would have been really neat is if they'd gone farther afield than Baldur's Gate. For instance, Waterdeep has a well-known vampire lord (Artor Morlin) with his own mini-dungeon (The Fireplace Level, so called because it's one level of a larger dungeon known as the Dungeon of the Crypt)...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    I agree - the content is decent, but there should have been more. At the very least, they could have given us an actual stat block for Astarion instead of just telling us to use the base vampire spawn stat block ... and I haven't even played BG3, so I don't get all the Astarion hype. I do like...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    I was given a gift card for my FLGS for my birthday back in March. I decided to hang on to it and use it to buy the alt cover Eberron book in August ... I am still waiting, and it sounds like I'll have to wait even longer. Maybe I should just use my gift card for something else. I could get the...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    Several? There's only one poster between your post and mine that mentions the Spellplague, and they're just talking about 4e stuff.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    They may very well tone it down or shove it into the background, but I highly doubt they would erase it entirely. OK. They did experiment with elemental-themed cleric domains way back at the very beginning of 5e but they never made it through to final development. I keep asking them to revisit...

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    Regarding point #2, as has been mentioned upthread, the new FR books mention drow enslaving surface dwellers. Regarding point #6, it’s already possible in the default 5e rules to be a cleric without a deity, so that’s not an issue.
