    What are your thoughts on TTRPGs with non-standard dice?

    I'm just profoundly unconvinced that this actually produces as a better outcome than, I dunno, other systems. Slightly different? Perhaps but better? One thing I don't hear is a lot of like, exceptional praise for Genesys. It's well-regarded but like, moderately so. It's definitely good to get...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Lots of upcoming games announced, one them basically a Voyager "You make the choices" game. I am going to get Paris killed so fast and hopefully I can respond to Neelix with "phasers set to kill". I assume this will lead to me being back in the Alpha quadrant in no time at all!

    Cairn Second Edition Offers A Character Driven Dungeon Crawl

    What a cover! I don't know if I'm Cairn's target audience and I have my hands full with Daggerheart, but what a cover! When they make 6E D&D they seriously need to put in stuff like this. WotC corpo types may not get it, but I think more of this would actually just make people like the game more.

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

    WHAT DID KARLACH EVER DO TO ANYONE?! Good lord! Why are you putting her in with a horrible sarcastic vampire (who is admittedly very funny) and the angriest frog-person in Realms-space? She's a lovely girl! That's like writing about Buffy: "Man I really hate Spike, Tara and The Master"! Like...

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

    My only question here answered, so I can just kind of not care about this and see how good stuff is once it's all out. Thank you.

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    I am genuinely mystified why WotC-brand 5E seems so strongly opposed to creatures having more than one type. As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing about 5E's rules (2014 or 2024) breaks if you consider creatures to have more than one type. Like, Protection from Evil and Good? If you have the...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Thinking like it's Buffy/Angel the ones you're missing are: Graveyard Trash dump Upscale shopping area/mall - (which is distinct from the outwardly scarier "city streets" but might be more likely to contain weirder magical beings or threats) The Docks - (at least in Buffy/Angel this is...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I mean I can't disagree on the final note there! The first two though I don't think he really understands the system. There's no such thing as an action, only an Action Roll!

    Gosh what a tempting offer lol. Only full price!

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Pretty much everyone who knows about Dark Sun except you? Every single person who has expressed an opinion on the subject in this thread has said that the major themes of Dark Sun are: 1) Climate change caused by greed and lust for (magical) power, and that this is bad. (Ecological disaster)...

    Yeah I got that too, but I wasn't even offered the first book!

    Shadow dropped in the sense that Sigil was "shadow dropped"?

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Mentioning a fact about Athas is not the same as "supporting your position". It's absolutely a fact that Athas doesn't have gods, as the second video mentions, but it doesn't support your #1 theme claim. Also, you're asking me to prove a negative. That's impossible. No-one would make a video...

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Go to the subreddit, and tell me how many people agreed with you about how "The #1 theme of Dark Sun is how important religion is, and why the world sucks if we aren't religious".

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    I get that you're focused on this, and can dig up videos by probably Gen Z guys which mention it in passing, but it isn't a thing bro. You're not going to make 'fetch' happen here. Why don't you go to the Dark Sun subreddit and explain to them how the #1 theme of Dark Sun is that the world sucks...

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    They've tried dozens of ways with projectors, AR headsets, VR headsets, VR/AR hand controllers, and so on. Those are fine for piloting a drone. But when life and death are on the line, and you're planning or providing information, you need two things: 1) Correct information. 2) Awareness of...

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    LOL what? No. Both those scenarios mean you're wrong. In fact, in the second scenario, if WotC release a "faithful interpretation" of YOUR ideas of what Dark Sun is about, then I'd absolutely be saying "That's not a faithful interpretation", so if people are saying that, it's more likely they...

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Dude lol. D&D Shorts agrees with you? Who next, a luminary such as Howard Stern? Like D&D Shorts is great if you want weird D&D gossip, especially a couple of years ago. But his takes on D&D subjects tend to be well, very much hotter than the surface of Athas, that's for sure, and often just...

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    We've got that. It doesn't solve any fundamental issues. The lightest ones aren't cheap but are insanely light but the wealthy people who buy them follow the exact pattern everyone does - 2-6 weeks of "Wow" followed by a few months of "Oh yeah, I guess I could" followed by "Meh, can't be...
