Oh, so I just finished running my adaptation with my beginner's group. They uncovered several NPCs with links to the Cult but got into a fight with them and then let them escape while heading back to the Caves of Chaos to try to infiltrate it (the party rolled the random encounter with the...

To make my position perfectly clear, I am saying that all D&D attributes are is a measure of that character's facility with the specific situations described in the rules, like spellcasting, making attacks, using skills. Things you roll for. That's it. An Int. 3 means that your character is...

It would give him advantage, except the other option is that both players attempt the roll separately, and that's what Watson is doing here, but calling it an "assist." Because everyone knows Sherlock is dumb. Yeah, and that's where I don't like forcing players to RP to the arbitrary concepts...

I wanna see the Dungeon Crawler Carl game because it's gotta be totally gonzo, right?

I did the survey - took no time. I'm glad there's going to be an article on this subject. Buy beware and all, but it's good to raise awareness of the potential pitfalls.

Same for me with Reaper 6. It took ages to deliver, but when it finally did, unpacking was super exciting. I had totally fogotten half of the contents!

Or Kiwi!

I can't decide if this looks insufferable, or like the best thing ever. I think I have to see it.

It evokes Guardians a bit, for me, but I think Guardians was Gunn adapting his style to the MCU vibe, and the combination worked gangbusters, especially in the first film. Hopefully this film will be similar, with director putting their own mark on the aesthetic. I dunno, the trailer definitely...

I felt he delivered that iconic line in a very Harrison Ford way, but it was just a passing observation. Geez!

I'm interested to see how this plays out. My gut reaction is...I like that a player might make a non-"optimal" (white room) choice due to an emerging situation. I think this actually makes more sense from a character development perspective, and could add drama. Again, I have to see how this...

I've only listened to a bit of WBN but I've seen a ton of D20 and this is the first time I've twigged to this leveling up method, so you are right about that!

It's not a spell, no. It's the same as before, as far as I can tell. Example from Adult Green Dragon, MM2025, listed under Actions:

To add context, I wrote, "Also, plenty of dumb people think they’re smart, bores think they’re charismatic, wimps think they’re tough, fools think they’re wise, and so on. The rolls will be what the rolls will be." Let me build on that: I don't think policing whether players are properly RPing...

The thing with rolling stats is that it's fun as F. I don't agree with the results. But I think it is by far the best process, in terms of just having a good time while making your character.

I got that D&L giant for free, along with a massive tarrasque (!!!) and a raft of other miniatures and terrain, over a hundred I think, as stretch goals for backing their outdoor encounters KS, which was amazing value even without any SGs. I think I paid about $200 in total. Mind you, I had to...

So, I haven’t been watching the new season of Critical Role; it lost me during the endless slog of the first few episodes (how it felt to me). Maybe I’ll try again in a few months. But I’m still a fan, still use Exandria for most of my games, and keep up with news about the campaign (there’s...

I do not paint at your level! I was thinking more in terms of beginners and enthusiastic average painters, like me. I ain't gonna argue with you about best practices for high level work - you know what's what!

The thing with KSs, is that when they pay off, they sometimes really pay off. It's really thrilling when a KS you are backing goes through the roof. I mostly back for miniatures, and I've gotten some incredible deals over the years - Reaper KSs and D&L KSs were incredible value. So when the...
