That's right. I saw the Play Doh Barbie collab and got confused. They do own GI Joeand transformers. I think it is weird to call Hasbro "not a toy company."

They own PlayDoh and Barbie.

I am still on the fence for M&M 4E. I wish there was a robust preview or quickstart so I could judge it against 3E. That said, their rolling preview idea is an interesting tactic.

Thew strongest sign that These Are The Good Days is the openness and inclusivity of the hobby. More voices, more perspectives, and more diversity can only increase creativity. And in a hobby that is built on creativity, that is wonderful.

Even after 15 years, i discovered a new quest in completely vanilla Skyrim that I had never done before. Maybe it was added with the Anniversary Edition but it did not feel like something of a different kind.

Is this the one you use?

So when you said "do something" what did you mean?

I am not sure what that could possibly be for folks that don't own controlling shares. None of that is new. it happens literally every quarter. I like it when I like what official D&D is producing. That makes me happy. I also own and play lots of other games, and enjoy some "alt D&D" things...

I think it is entirely reasonable to feel wistful about things that have changed or been lost, especially with regards to something foundational and ubiquitous in your life. "It would be nice if..." is not some sort of indictment of other folks' preferences. Also, shareholders ruin everything...

Just a chat thread: What does your planar/worlds/heaven and hell/etc cosmology look like in your D&D campaign? I very rare use the official D&D cosmology. I just don't particularly like. it. If I am inclined to use it, I use at least the 4E version of the Astral Sea as opposed to the Astral...

Eve of Ruin is a very weak adventure, and the less said about 5E 2024 the better. That is to say, it's subjective.

You seem to be suggesting that if the GM did no pre-plan for every possible contingency, anything they decide turns into "railroading" because it is just placating their whims. This is not my experience at all, and in fact hard designing of possible outcomes is much more likely to result in...

Bad GMing solves itself.

I said "games rarely do that" not "I have no idea how I could go about it."

A -1 to Con doesn't have much effect on 15th level.

So I just realized that Nimble5E was a thing. That PDF is still available. Anyone who has used it: how useful is Nimble5E for playing 5E? Does it improve things notably? Does it create any unnecessary problems?

I mean how actual peak capacity works, for both mind and body, and as how we get older both begin to fail us even when our level of experience should see us through.

That is the theory, but it isn't reflected in any official module that I can recall. I don't think I have ever seen "And a character with x background automatically succeeds at this task" in an adventure from WotC.

It ain't the "WotC Investor Call."

Sure. That is what "rolling a 1" is in this instance. I was mostly thinking about how we don't generally have a good way to model "peak fitness" in RPGs. The numbers only go up. Also, I am kind of salty about the whole thing.
