Man, I do not understand how corporations make decisions.

Sell me on it.

"GM force" just sounds like "GMing" to me.

Out of curiosity, why don't the break down D&D vs Magic vs Video Games etc?

I wanted to run a side quest in the faewild with the plot of said side quest being that the Winter Court had staged a coup. So I decided that the Winter Court would be locking down the plane so no one can leave (aimed mainly at fae, but applicable to "visitors" as well). Because Plane SHift is a...

Someone who speaks corporate: what does "category expansions" mean? Is that putting D&D on lunch boxes, or is it something in the game sphere?

This would make every puzzle ever a "railroad" which does not sound right.

In last night's game I noticed that my players were pretty much always flush with Hope, even during combats. I can't tell if they are being careful with their spends, if there aren't enough things to spend Hope on, or if I am calling for too many rolls and therefore letting them build up too...

I don't think anyone is suggesting that D&D did not impact the aesthetics of fantasy. Especially during the paperback era, D&D's art has always had a profound impact on what the fantasy bookshelf looked like, as well as what computer and video game fantasy looked like. It's just that D&D did not...

Why can't disarming be a class specific maneuver?

Oh no! An adventure situation is "somewhat contrived." I literally don't understand what you are opposed to here. Literally, no hyperbole, every adventure is built on arbitrary constraints. Go ahead and tell me im wrong. Give me an example of an adventure that doesn't require some limitation...

I am confused at your resistance to this basic, obvious thing. Why don't you show us before and after and explain why you think D&D specifically created the "sword and board" fighter.

Narrator: But it wasn't resolved...

Yeah, I realized it was a little heavy handed so I have returned them (in play, so not a retcon) and now they are free to decide what to do.

The player characters came in through a permanent gate to the feywild, and that gate had been enchanted to relieve anyone passing through of their tuning forks if they have them. The Winter Coup took place a while ago, relative time speaking, and the Winter Court has had time to lock down the...

Specific Question: If they made a big CRPG based on any of the official 5E campaign adventures, which one would you prefer and why?

Peter Principal at work?

Unless one expects there customers to play most of those campaigns. Easter eggs and metaplots are rewards for PLAYERS, not characters.

Man there is a lot of hyperbole in this thread.

I mean, in D&D, the tuning forks are literally the way that magic works across all planes. Why is this "weirdly specific and contrived"?
