    D&D General Do You Run Published Adventures, Homebrew Adventures, or Some of Both?

    A little bit of both, but I realize that my homebrew adventures tend to be somewhat straight forward. So I like to take pre-written adventures that have more unique scenarios in them and adapt those ideas to my games, but customize them to my liking. Sometimes other people just have good ideas...

    D&D General Do you have any table rules regarding die rolls?

    Only two: Floor dice are always re-rolled. Cocked dice are always re-rolled. (Roller's judgement) I only have these rules because I always would get the question when playing with different groups. Everybody had their own opinion on floor dice (especially if the roll was good). This way I get...

    D&D General Legend of Vox Machina Trailer Released

    Animation is done by titmouse, who did The Legend of Korra. Dunno if they were involved in ATAB though.

    Free League is Demiplane’s Latest Nexus

    When it comes to Cubicle 7, I think your fears are somewhat founded. While The One Ring never had a VTT version, as soon as C7 lost/dumped that license (I still don't know what really happened) they pulled all of their products from their store and DriveThruRPG. You cannot buy Adventures in...

    D&D General G4's New D&D Show Is Called 'Invitation to Party'

    They are all back to playing at the same table now like they used to. It's great.

    D&D General Your favorite way to start a D&D campaign?

    I always like to start with a small fight. D&D has a big focus on combat and most players are itching to try out their new abilities. Also, nothing forges a group of strangers into a adventuring party much like a fight. This first fight is usually pretty easy but exciting. At low levels an easy...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Nexus is the Official Toolset for PF2E

    I think D&D Beyond is pretty neat and the real reason I don't use it is price. I already own all the books, etc. If Paizo offers a discount for customers who already own products, I'm much more likely to jump on board. I know many PF players use Pathbuilder, but I think that's free using the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Flanking - the good, the bad, and the broken?

    This actually sounds like a lot of fun. I might try this. Truth be told I'm starting to dislike flanking, but it depends on the circumstances. When playing Theater of the Mind I just got advantage for free as more often than not there wasn't anything stopping me from flanking or the DM...

    Paizo Paizo Workers Unionize

    The fact that the workers felt they needed to do this, makes all of the allegations against Paizo ring true and all of their promises to make things right suddenly seem hollow. Best of luck to all the unionizing employees. I hope this all turns out for the best.

    D&D 5E (2014) Counterspell nerfed!

    Not a fan of this change. I had a situation in a game where a DM was adapting a 3rd Edition creature called a Mooncalf. The creature cast a pretty high level Call Lightning on us, and when we we attacked it, we reminded him to make a Concentration Check, to which he responded: "I don't think...

    D&D and Call of Cthulhu Climb Again in Roll20's Latest Stats

    This is my experience, but it could have some merit for others, I dunno. When I pitch other kinds of RPGs people tend to ask "Why don't we just play D&D?" But Call of Cthulhu is so unique in it's tone and gameplay that my 5e purists accept it for what it is, a unique experience. But talking...

    Paizo Jessica Price (ex Paizo employee) spills the beans

    I feel you, I purchased Secrets of Magic like 4-5 days ago and coerced my group into a one-shot last weekend. I've never bought into the subscription model, so I can abstain from purchases for the time being. I already own the most of the core-books already, so I don't have to stop playing...

    Paizo Jessica Price (ex Paizo employee) spills the beans

    In case you didn't realize, this post by Kenada has a collection of all the tweets in a more readable format. I'm disappointed so far. The evidence does look pretty damning, but I'm also wary of Price. Her stuff certainly comes across as vengeful, but I believe that's it's probably true...

    D&D 5E (2014) Adventures in Elsir Vale (pre-Red Hand of Doom)

    I bought this collection several years back and have occasionally sprinkling them into games over the past few years. The Complete Adventures of M.T. Black Volume 1. They are excellent adventures, spanning a range of levels at 1-2 sessions each. I'll be honest, a lot of them seem kind of simple...

    D&D General How to be a Better DM: One Size Doesn't Fit All

    It's because of this when I do give DM advice, I always tend to preface it not as "Here's what you should do" but rather "Here's what I would do." I feel like this tends to leave me advice as something that you can take or leave and not some commandment from an incredibly experienced GM that you...

    D&D 5E (2014) PC races that a DM has specifically excluded from their campaign and why

    One campaign has no real restrictions. Another campaign has certain restrictions based on our DM's homebrew. I don't recall them all but I know that Gnomes are extinct, so none of them. I'm getting ready to run a campaign using Midgard from Kobold Press. I'm planning on presenting a limited...

    Which non-D&D fantasy RPG do you currently play?

    Not playing, but I keep longingly reading my WFRP 4e books and eyeballing my Symbaroum PDFs. Also Pulp Cthulhu, A Cold Fire Within. Once one of my current campaigns wraps. I'll try and find time for one of these.
