I'm an old (middle-class, white, male, cis) gamer, and I've struggled for years with a TON of implicit assumptions and the general wrong-headed things I grew up with in the 80s. Most of us did. I thought I was one of the good ones because I never went out of my way to be one of "those guys." But...

For me, I list out the allowed resources and tell new players it's up to them to sell me on any variance. When they just suggest random stuff without any attempt to sell me on the idea, I refer them back to the list. If they persist, I tell them a flat no. I do try to explain I'm trying to get...

I stopped playing D&D in 2e, about 30 years ago. Nothing drastic, I just found other games I enjoyed and spent years doing that. Shadowrun, Everway, TFT, Heroes Unlimited and Mage were the largest part, but I tried a LOT of others over the next 25 years. In 2018, my daughter's then boyfriend...

My games are all text. I know it's not for everyone, especially these days, but I roll with it and my games all have players, some of whom can't use voice for some reason, some just don't want to. I've played over voice, and it's fine. Fun, even. But for running, text is for me. For OP, Roll20...

It's a good thought (And I think I made my own opinion of the man clear in the other thread), but the fact is the individual in question enjoys a disproportionate influence on the U.S. and our daily life. I don't care what he has to say. He is an execrable person with equally execrable opinions...

You burn in hell Musk, you smelly taint. You're not good enough to be part of my hobby. Or the human race.

Yeah it's just my reading comprehension. I saw STRPG and my brain read 'SWRPG'. I'd like to blame my stroke, but honestly I've done it before.

That's it. I guess my typing isn't the only thing suffering, is it?

I had a stroke and missed this last post. Did you mean WEG, or do I need to head to ebay?

IMO, if they're new to the game, best not to complicate right away. Gives them time to get used to the rules, and room to grow if they want. If you're going over rules at this with a player, probably, yes. Harder. I would start a new player a level 1 (or 3, as most of my games have been. BUT...

Months of recovery; finally played!

Hidden Oddities: A Witch's Primer is a really well thought out book, containing a class, spells, options, subclasses, lore, and new subclasses for the PHB classes related to Witches. It's not just a re-skin of another class, but its own full-fledged addition to the roster, and still my favorite...

Kobo sucks. Scammed me once, I won't fall for it again.

I run in Tal'Dorei from Critical Role. I have a blurb with my changes, but in game I use Bold Italics (which I can no longer seem to use here) for terms players should look up.

Two Months Ago; Thanks, Stroke!

Uhh... you mean a classic!

I have a recruit thread in roll20 for each game. In it, I lay out the game, what I'm seeking in a player, and the guidelines for making characters. I also ask my current players to weigh in. Any proposal that follows the guides OR offers some thought on why they didn't, gets a reply, usually...

One of my players has been with me since 2000. He is the the only one and we played all sorts of things as the players around us have come and gone.

Never used D&D Beyond. I guess now I don't need to.

I have been running my circus campaign for just over five years. Two of the sessions began February 2019. One of the sessions began a year later. I am also running a sort of bespoke World of Darkness game in which one of my players I have been gaming with for over 20 years, though not always the...
