    Don't Fall Down With The Toon Role-Playing Game

    That's a cool use of it. Did you have the 'Supertoon' expansion stuff or did you just run it off the base game? I agree that it's original intent was not probably not as a kids game but it in my experience, it works really well as one. I think it's a really useful lightweight unisystem. Mind...

    Don't Fall Down With The Toon Role-Playing Game

    A lot has been made recently about specific games for gaming with your children. A lot of products in the last five years have focused on this with a wide variety options and feels from Hero Kids, Little Heroes and the upcoming Last Unicorn RPG from Playground Adventures. With that I thought I'd...

    Two Days Left To Vote For Most Anticipated RPG of 2018!

    So you're both anticipating 6E despite wizards creators specifically saying they haven't even thought of starting making it yet and they want the edition to run for a decade at least?

    Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

    They've said they will be releasing a book with both Mystic (psion) class and Artificer class next year. What campaign setting would need those two things? Don't give up hope yet.

    The Most Important Design Aspect of Hobby RPGs Is The Pure Humanoid Avatar

    I'd suggest that the border between these definitions (especially the first two) is often audience defined though: The players can dictate the level of association between the avatar and the self. My family and friends play Game Of Life as an RPG even though my family don't play RPGs. (To define...

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM Help

    I agree, with Mort, I'd like to see the details of that build. It seems like something is off.

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM Help

    First, the trio is wasting their time doing all that healing. 'I'll spend all my spell energy on healing you at the end of the adventuring day. Just before we take a long rest - WHICH HEALS ALL OUR HIT POINT DAMAGE.' So I shouldn't worry about that. The default assumption is that they will be...

    The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

    I knew that about savage tide, and forgot it. :P I suppose my point is that of course D&D adventures mimic each other, that's how things that share themes work. I'm not sure people complaining about that add anything to the overall discussion. At most they are drawing a parallel that actually...

    The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

    This. This exactly. Could, at this point, anyone come up with anything and no one go 'It's just X rehashed'? I doubt it.

    The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

    That is a stretch. But it does kind of point to the fact that maybe whatever they produce, we are going to be able to point to another product and go 'it's a bit like that one'. That's due to the fact that D&D is buiolt on familiar terms. They tried to do an entirely different take on D&D with a...

    The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

    So what was Out Of The Abyss a 're-hash' of? Also, Having re-read Against The Giants recently as a DM, I think I am of the opinion that Storm King's Thunder is better. Curse of Strahd is a pretty solid product with great additions. So if you want they want to re-mix, I'm not gonna dismiss the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Tavern Brawler use cards as Improvised Weapons?

    This has to beth weirdest start to a thread ever. OP posts a question whis clearly going to get a lot of 'YMMV' answers. Then gets four positive responses, two negative ones, two post about physics but 7 'YMMV but if it's fun, go for it' responses - complains about negative and physics posts...

    Question about cheating

    I meant that because you chose to run adventurer's league, now you're trapped within adventurers league. AL controls the input of your campaign. It's kind of like being in a domineering relationship.

    Question about cheating

    This is really interesting. You're kind of locked in a cycle of control.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranged party member keeps running off the map

    A lot of people came up with some good suggestions. I'd add one other thing - Dragons fly. They also have ranged breath weapons. How do you outrun that? I'm assuming you don't actually want to kill the sharpshooter and the idea of damaging them isn't because you want them to actually die but...

    We're Finally Mainstream! Now What?

    My point was really that is doesn't really die then. If D&D has stopped at 2nd ed, I'd still be playing it. But I feel I might be arguing semantics here rather than adding to the conversation. With your clarification, I realise that my point is tangential to the point you are making. As for...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Explores Downtime Activities

    Most of this - Rules for stuff we could just be roleplaying. Magic Item Economy Stuff - Well. About Dang Time.

    We're Finally Mainstream! Now What?

    How, theoretically, would that happen? Even if wizards stop making the game, it doesn't stop people like us playing it.
