    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Team Productivity?

    That's bonkers. How is that even possible? They surely must be happy about their success at WotC. Nice job.

    D&D General Letting a Game feel like a Game ~ Mechanics and Simulationism

    That is a good idea. Think I'll make one. Especially one of my players keep asking me if they can see how wounded the monster is, and I try to make something up, but it would be nice with a table like that.

    D&D General Letting a Game feel like a Game ~ Mechanics and Simulationism

    I think this differs wildly from one table to another. But with my current group I agree. They revel in the combat tactics and to strategize around it. Granted, they want the combats to be part of a great story and plot, but the combats are the highlights. So much, that I'm considering trying...

    Pathfinder 2E Taking20 -"I'm Quitting Pathfinder 2e Because of This Issue"

    What it all boils down to, is that combat in PF2e basically is built upon the illusion of choice. Yes there are plenty of choice, but it is an illusion since all builds always end up doing the same thing every turn in combat because it is the optimal thing to do. So combat i PF2e is in spite of...

    D&D 5E (2014) "The problem with 5e" is the best feature - advantage

    This is actually quite clever. Would love it WotC would play with this. Give us more options in play.

    WotC Gale Force 9 Sues WotC [Updated]

    Where I live - Denmark - a movie ticket costs easily $15. With popcorn and a soda it would cost $20. A D&D book at the FLGS costs $60. I could get it cheaper online but I want to support the local shop and not Bezos. It is only three times a movie ticket. The movie lasts 2 hours. So far we have...

    WotC Gale Force 9 Sues WotC [Updated]

    God please stop. It’s not a given right to own D&D books. If you think they’re too expensive just don’t buy them. It’s such short sighted selfishness trying to make a case for pirating RPG books. It’s almost impossible for creatives making a living out of RPG books unless you’re Wotc. I think...

    Paizo A question about Paizo/PF adventure design

    Can you elaborate what you mean here? I am GM'ing 5e (with great success, we all love it), and haven't GM'ing PF2. I have some of the PF2 books though, and when looking at the monsters in PF2 I do feel like some of them seem more interesting.

    Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: An In-Depth Review

    Yup, that I agree with.

    Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: An In-Depth Review

    In the Dragon Talk from 20th of november, Jeremy Crawford talked about this, and did mention that a lot of feedback was about how the Archivist was "stepping on the Wizards toes".

    Pathfinder 2E Wanting to Change the AP We Started - Advice?

    Just the fact that AoA isn't available (yet) on Roll20 should be enough for the players to understand that you guys need to change AP. Hope you will get it all sorted out.

    D&D General Why do you play Dungeons & Dragons?

    Because of Tiamat, Strahd, Acererak, Volo, Eberron, FR, Ravenloft, etc: so many iconic monsters, fiends, settings and what not. Not many other RPGs have so much lore and fluff (with some exceptions like CoC and WFRP). Because of DragonTalk, Critical Role, How We Roll podcast etc. Not many other...

    Critical Role Announces Publishing Company

    Could not agree more. People in the Twitter-sphere seriously overestimate these controversies’ impact on most RPGers who have never visited a message board for RPG, or have any idea who Chris Perkins is. Many people just play and that’s that. And since it’s such a niche hobby, none of yelling...

    Pathfinder 2E Is this a fair review of PF2?

    Yeah, it's a shame going through that adventure, without an alchemist in the group.

    TSR TSR's War on Fans

    Couldn't agree more. Taking the times back then into consideration, I can actually totally understand TRS's actions. Of course they should have handled it differently, but I imagine it must have been bloody scary when the Internet exploded and all your IP is just laying there - free for all...

    Pathfinder 2E Is this a fair review of PF2?

    The Fall of Plaguestone? Alchemist then.

    Ryan Dancey: This is why there was no M:tG setting for D&D

    I absolutely love the Ravnica book. The settings just oozes with hooks and atmosphere.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Celebration Schedule Announced

    Well let’s see how the rules turn out. I hope they can make them stand out in another way. Pathfinder 2e did something similar and that seems to work even though calling something ancestry instead of race does seem a bit performative to me. But we also have to accept that race is such a loaded...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Dungeons & Dragons 2020 Product Survey

    Totally agree. The space is ripe for something with deep pockets to come and do this "right". Seeing how DnD Beyond have grown, I think it's obvious they are going this route. Also this work they are doing in this arena, might make it obvious that the system could use some adjustment here and...
