    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    Same! I'm starting to use Maps every session even though I'm a hardcore miniatures/terrain enthusiast. I like having a map of the city or region open for the players, and being able to have handouts and art pop up will be amazing. It's funny that Maps started as this kinda "Oh, by the way..."...

    D&D General Coming soon to D&D Beyond...One-Shot Wonders: Holiday Adventure Pack!

    Yup - as soon as a new R&P book appears on DDB it's an instant buy for me.

    Exploring Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn

    I love this book, and I'm not currently running a game in The Forgotten Realms. The adventures are easy enough to transplant, and the stories and maps are really good. I really like bite-sized adventures like this that I can use as seeds and then flesh out with what is happening in my own...

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for Miniature Gamers (2025)

    Nice - that seems like a great deal! Wizkids also does 2d standee miniatures. They are more expensive but very nice, and much cheaper than 3d miniatures:

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for Miniature Gamers (2025)

    Thanks! - those are my own minaitures and I am a big fan of both those companies. Reaper also has its annual holiday sale on, where you receive bonus holiday-themed miniatures in addition to your regular order: https://www.reapermini.com/12days

    D&D General Coming soon to D&D Beyond...One-Shot Wonders: Holiday Adventure Pack!

    I don't have to imagine it. There are many more than "three or four" studios currently selling on DDB; you can check for yourself. Interesting choice of words. I assume by "beg for hundreds of thousands of dollars" you are referring to Roll & Play Press using a Kickstarter to originally fund...

    Homebrew Magic Items, review requested

    Exactly. A character in my home game recently acquired a legendary weapon in its dormant state (+1, and a flavourful secondary effect). They are level 7. Getting it was a big deal involving tracking it down from an old shipwreck to its current location, defeating traps, guardian, etc. Last...

    D&D General Coming soon to D&D Beyond...One-Shot Wonders: Holiday Adventure Pack!

    Note that not all of the adventures are that whimsical. For example, the higher level adventure "Catching a Chill" is a sort of "save the holidays" adventure but with an undead twist and darker themes.

    Homebrew Magic Items, review requested

    They're more powerful than I would be comfortable with, but the concepts are cool. I also don't like that they automatically level up with the player. Legendary weapons should feel legendary, so their empowerment should be something that happens in the story and not as a side of effect of the...

    D&D General Coming soon to D&D Beyond...One-Shot Wonders: Holiday Adventure Pack!

    I bought it. The production value is high; as with other One Shot Wonders the maps and art are gorgeous, and the layout and story design are very tight, making it easy to quickly grasp the core ideas and run the adventure. These are a little beefier than the previous OSW that I have purchased...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Good luck. I thought I'd be missing my staff party due to travel, but then our schedule changed and now I'm going, so my odds just got a lot lower, as well.

    Spoilers Pluribus

    So is that mysterious signal Ecuador is picking up connected to how the Hive Mind is linked together, and a key to defeating it?

    Spoilers Pluribus

    Note: all of my points above can and hopefully will be addressed by a clever twist in the story. It seems to me likely that, given how many holes there are in the Hive Mind's story, the other shoe will drop and explain a lot of stuff that increasingly makes no sense. For instance, maybe the Hive...

    Immersion?

    Immersion in a work of art is a personal thing, so I can’t really offer meaningful insight into what works for other people. I can try to respect what likely doesn’t work though, such as talking during a movie or telling other people how to play their characters. I do find actual plays...

    Spoilers Pluribus

    Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to track, at least with what we know so far. For example, I don't understand how "can't take a life" translates to "can't pick an apple." The tree wants you to eat the apples. That's the whole point of the apple - they're part of the tree's...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I think you see so few halflings because your sample size is small. You also see few tielfings, yet that is one of the most common species that I see being taken. Tons of goblins, too. This is just anecdotal evidence, though. Neither of us has anything like a representative sample size, and...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    There's a halfling in my current school campaign. They're not a super common character species, but not rare, either. There's also a lizardfolk, dragonborn, tiefling, human, gnome, and elf. I point out that ECMO3's groups are typically very focused on optimization and not, I think, that...

    What's the best potato?

    I feel like latkes need to be added to the list. A lot of us are citing variations on the theme.
