    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    Also, I backed the last C'Mon Games Cthulhu Death May Die KS, but I had backed them before and they delivered an excellent product. This is just one where the company got into trouble, then tariffs hit, and I think they're probably done. I don't really have hard feelings about it.

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    These are my actual quotes from the discussion thread on the Forged: A Massive Miniature Collection 2022 Kickstarter (now completely MIA), over on the Minisgallery forums: That $100 was the last time I backed a KS from a company without much of a track record. So, lesson learned. I shoulda...

    D&D 5E (2024) What 2024 class have you played the most

    This completely unscientific poll does seem to indicate a strong correlation between posting on EnWorld and playing a warlock. Anyone have something to confess? A dark pact, maybe?

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Sure, his opinion is valid, but the points he raises seem like personal beefs rather than design flaws. Most of the stuff he doesn't like, I do, but then I agreed on a few points as well. I liked reading it because I like seeing different points of view, but there were no revelatory points being...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Sorry...what's the "evil" here? I honestly don't get it. It's just a stat block for a fairly tough humanoid opponent. Lots of scenarios can use that, and it saves me creating an NPC (which I probably will still do if it's a vital enough character, but if it's just some opponent...nah). Who...

    D&D General Is this homebrew item OP

    I'm not a fan of items/abilities/anything else that only work for characters that are already super strong. 1e had a lot of stuff like that, and it always felt like the rich getting richer. So I don't understand why you are using the dex modifier as a gatekeeper. Secondly, this item seems...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    I mean, I'll use the warrior commander just as some goon who poses a suitable challenge for the party. If they run into him at lower levels, I'll probably use it as a BBEG or something, but at higher levels it might be just a thug. Whatever the story needs. I don't care at all about the...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    To be honest, I don't think ability scores have much impact on how players roleplay. Nor should they, for the most part. I run a LOT of games, and players always come up with their character concept first. If getting a particular roll is inspiring for a player, that's awesome, but in practice I...

    Street Fighter 2026 Teaser Trailer

    I am of exactly that age. I still think this teaser trailer looks rubbish.

    Trailer Mercy | Official Trailer 2

    I remember when this was called Minority Report. Or was it The Fugitive? Anyway, this version looks terrible.

    Street Fighter 2026 Teaser Trailer

    They killed his dog. But this trailer doesn't make the movie seem simple. It doesn't seem like anything, just a bunch of random fight poses and haircuts from the video game. It feels like it's on speed, gibbering away. Maybe the film will be amazing. But this trailer didn't sell me.

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Most of the criticisms cited in the blog are personal justifications for not liking changes. Which is fine; humans generally dislike change and find reasons to justify it (c.f. your dad's opinion of your music...or your own opinion of your kid's). But personal justifications are seldom very...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    We no longer roll stats, but not because of low stats, which I think can be fun. It's just to avoid drama, especially when dealing with novice players.

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Building on that, I think player characters are not particularly exceptional, especially at level 1. I see no reason why a commoner who is a big, burly woodsman or whatever couldn't have an 18 strength. I much prefer the trope of characters as fairly ordinary people who learn as they go rather...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    On the other hand, I do hate the changes to Beastmaster (that's a Tasha's thing, though) and other changes in the updated rules to "streamline" monsters and animals for things like summoning spells, wildshape, etc. These are not about verisimilitude for me, but just that I don't think the...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    My players at D&D Club narrowly avoided a TPK in the last game before Xmas Break, and I am far from an adversarial DM, so I don't think the game is that easy.

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for the DM's Table (2025)

    At that price, I’d suggest getting Dwarven Forge lava tiles. They are going to be much high quality and much more configurable. The selling point of these is that each has its own LED, so if you just need a few for a particular effect they are probably pretty cool!
