For me immersion means what @Swarmkeeper said above + when the choices being made in-game align with the stakes as the characters would understand them. I also agree with those who have suggested that immersion is not something that is toggled on and off, but a spectrum of affective and...

I do something similar, but just for cantrips. Cantrips are unlimited unless you fail the spell check roll upon casting it, in which case it still goes off, but you lose access until after a Long Rest. However, you may spend a spell slot to cast a cantrip with no chance of failure. The fail...

I tried Mastodon and I tried Bluesky, but neither one was ever gonna feel like Twitter did back when it was "good." I still have accts but have not used them in months/years. I am mostly on Instagram and here. The former because it has a good D&D crafter community. Oh and one social media...

Because they fall just shy of affording a Mercedes?

Here is where I put my pitch for the Fiend Folio. Despite the fact that I still reach for the 1E DMG more than any other edition's DMG (despite having always run the most recent edition of D&D - save 4th), it would still come in second and the Fiend Folio is above all others. I got both the MM...

my current homebrew setting set-up is designed to get around some of the issues of “knowing the setting.” All beginning campaigns revolve around PCs arriving at the focus of the setting from faraway lands. The players are encouraged to make up as little or as much about where they came from and...

I do very similar, except I use multiple chessex wet erase battle mats or my DIY dungeon tiles. I encourage the players to map as a way to figure out where to go or areas that need exploration or revisiting and other planning.

And thank you for reminding me to go back and finish watching this (which I am doing currently). I am grateful when posters can hear and take the advice he's giving, including myself.

I hate that the people i might be most in agreement with also express their opinion in ways that make me rethink if I should agree because they are the worst.

As someone who prefers adapting TSR era modules (including 1E and 2E era Dungeon mag) for all editions of D&D and eventually for Shadowdark (which I own, but haven't played/run yet), this thread convinced me to check out the Necrotic Gnome adventures. Thanks!

why do even bother responding in good faith if you know any subsequent response is going to ignore the context of your reply?

Here is my version of Shield (in case it helps). Though it was specifically designed for a ruleset that lowers power slightly across the board and adds more randomness. Shield 1st-level abjuration Casting Time: Reaction, which you take when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic...

These all seem close enough to be synonyms to me.

I know it is hard, but it is possible to ignore someone else's opinion on Dungeons & Dragons, even someone you hate.

The funny thing is I posted something to FB for the first time in forever today on a whim because I saw Jimmy Cliff passed. "Many Rivers to Cross" is a song I would like played at my funeral. But otherwise, my reply to that thread stands.

I still have Facebook but (aside from Messenger), I don't really visit it/use it and have removed it from my phone. I find that if I keep social media access as limited to my laptop as possible, I am much less likely to use it (instagram being the exception) because I do find it toxic and too...
