    Things the Report button is NOT for

    test Edit: It would appear so, the button is there and the dialog appears. I did not attempt to submit a report, the mods have enough to do.

    D&D General D&D is now Steampunk (poll)

    I would that it really has no specific LotR roots, Lord of the Ring is one of many well springs whose waters fed the thing that is D&D. Every new editions and often within editions in setting books D&D reach out into the pop culture fantasy mind share and grabbed something or several somethings...

    D&D General D&D is now Steampunk (poll)

    D&D have never been really medieval to my mind anyway. It has been this weird mix of what I consider a mid-century Hollywood visual medieval aesthetic and sword and sorcery which is really its own thing and does not map onto any period of history outside the mythical Wild West. It ranges from...

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    While that may yet happen, I doubt that WoTC or Hasbro can make such an offer at this point in time.

    I strongly suspect they would never sell, or at least until they got much older.

    D&D 5E (2014) Miles per day on horseback: how many?

    Even then you will need restdays and the horses need high quality fodder like crushed oats or other grains. The Mongols and the like sustained their rapid movement by having a lot of spare riding horses and pack animals.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    I agree with you, I was just reporting what ProfessorDM has said in other videos. I would never consider him a reliable source of news but an interesting gossip. I prefer the Ghostfire Games and Mastering Dungeons podcasts as the best rpg news sources.

    D&D 4E D&D online

    Solasta is worth checking out if it is available on the xbox, BG 3 is also very good and on the console.

    SkyNet really is ... here?

    You know, if an AI apocalypse occurs it is most likely to be something odd and unexpected, like in Charlie Stross's Freya 'verse series. Where the humans discovered that AI only really got intelligent in bodies and the original template need a training period similar to educating a human and...

    I do not think he has a source for most of that video, he has one data point the price of a single ad spot on the stream, the rest is a mix of informed guestimates and some tongue in cheek speculation. This video is made to engage the algorithm, he has been pretty upfront about this in past...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    You can do whatever you want in your game but there is another way to look at it. I am going to use Willow Rosenberg from Buffy as an example here. In the early seasons she is shown mostly petitioning some ancient god or power when casting spells and as the series progresses, she is shown...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Agreed, it is one of my few ongoing disappointments with 5e is the lack of development with rituals. I think more spells should be ritual, and some should be ritual only.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I think it has no choice, taking power from the player and removing the class powers is a lot like taking the players agency and really needs the consent of the player to make it work. Even if the rules were on the side of removing class powers here, it would cause strife at the table unless the...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    This is one way to view the matter, the templar or warlock in the more general sense is a petitioner. In that they never have any power of their own and each time they cast they are petitioning their patron for the spell and the patron is doing the actual work. Another way to frame it, is that...

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    I kind of agree with you on the encounter building rules, especially in the 2014 version. I do not reference CR at all, I find it both incomprehensible and useless and prefer the XPO calculation method. I genuinely think (based on my experience) that after third level it should be hard to...
