You Tubers getting preview copies to show to their followers is very common. It is so common, most you tubers cannot preview them all, so usually choose ones they are excited about. Many of these copies have not yet released or just released. Flipping through the pages showing off the art and...

We're doing a wide variety of adventures with Shadowdark. Not everything has to be dungeon crawling. The torch timer is not essential to play! And we roleplay a lot with interesting characters. With careful play, and not fighting everything in sight, it's not as lethal as its reputation either.

No, this is not the one.

I saw the @SlyFlourish video. He did not show the entire book, not even close. It was an excellent, balanced review. It is exactly the type of video, WotC should be pleased with. @SlyFlourish did nothing wrong. Absolutely no way to predict WotC's bizarre reaction, especially considering 3000...

Every, I mean every company or independent author of a rpg book, who sends a promotional copy of their product to a you tuber, wants to see their product showcased. That's the point. Build up hype and hopefully get some positive vibes going. Why would any YouTuber assume WotC is different? The...

I loved the old Reincarnate spell too! Over the years it has become more and more bland. It isn't suppose to be Resurrection with a Phb species switch. Like you said, a big gamble, and if you did come back as an eagle or a bugbear, it was fun.

I'm very intrigued by Ghostfire's revamping of their Grimhollow. It's being updated to be in line with 2024 but I'd use it with 2014 or Level Up. The character creation looks really really good so far, as well as the Monster Hunter class.

Yep, really enjoyed this one. Really good advice.

I know.. But since there's arguing here, there'll be arguing at the table. Hope I'm just being pessimistic! 🙄

Beyond the Wall is a great game. I'm in agreement about the 2024 edition. It pushed too far in a direction that is grating on me. Too many obstacles removed for players, which is cutting down on tricky choices, or nail biters. How can you pull a potion out of your bag, open it and down the...

I think the pushback is not that anyone thinks once you hide you turn magically invisible and can bounce out of hiding with impunity. The problem is in the wording. And the very real possibility players will argue for the ridiculous interpretation cause... people. Since the rules are careful...

Get well soon @Steampunkette

5e to me feels like a streamlined 3e to me. Feats, rolling stat plus skill, very similar multi-classing, skill list, etc.

The way it's written is going to lead to endless arguments between RAW and RAI... Definitely agree invisible and hidden need to be separate.

Okay, I'm vaguely remembering that now. Yeah, really bad. 🙄

What does Find Trap do?

My current Masterpiece game is "The Wildsea." It has elements of PbtA in its gameplay but no playbooks. There is lots of choice and mixing and matching in character creation, which I love. The world is unique and quirky, with plenty of room for players and GM to put their own stamp on it...

And plain old human nature. We are more likely to contact a business over bad service or products than reach out over good service. I called a store to praise one of their clerks and there was genuine surprise and gratitude. They were geared up for a complaint.

Warhammer Fantasy. It was the game that caused me to fall in love with rpgs. All those careers!

5e was fun. I've been already drifting away from it however, and 2024 feels like it's doubling down on things I didn't really like in 5e, without adding much I do like. For my D&D itch, we've got Level Up. When we're craving something lighter, there's Shadowdark, OSE, and others in the N/OSR...
