    Things you don’t like about DMing

    I feel your pain. This is my pet hate too. I think it started in Pathfinder. Dipped slightly in 5e but resurfaced when getting into 5e on VTT. Probably because you have to do the stat block building otherwise the VTT won’t work. It’s a definite chore. Almost all my stat blocks are modified now...

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    I think I may have made this point back at the time in a similar way. I think they care about things that affect them. They aren’t going to care if they never come across the problem in a meaningful way. Remember most players of D&D don’t buy any products. Of those that do most will only ever...

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Of my 11 D&D players across 3 groups. Two of them were away of the OGL issue. Though it wasn’t a topic of conversation and wouldn’t have been mentioned I don’t think if I hadn’t asked them what they thought. They were ambivalent. These are 60% long term players, 40% recent (since covid) players.

    Things you don’t like about DMing

    So I recently saw the discord discussion that I’ve clipped some comments from because I found it very interesting. There was clearly one DM who felt if you don’t enjoy every aspect of DMing then why are you doing it. Others felt that labors of love are still labors. What do you think? Are there...

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    What were the 3e golden age products, if not clones? I don’t understand why you thought that time was amazing. Whereas now what we have is somehow reductive? It seems like now with 5e we have far more breadth and variety. With various companies innovating improvements to 5e. Before it was many...

    D&D 5E (2024) An Optional Counterspell Metagame

    I’d probably not go that way. As spells known is already a precious resource. I just wouldn’t select multiple versions of the same spell.

    D&D General When Was it Decided Fighters Should Suck at Everything but Combat?

    I think you may have missed the details here. You have two uses of this at level 1, three uses from level 4 and you get back one after each short rest. You don’t need to sleep to take a short rest. It’s a lunch break. Second Wind is useful but a lot of skill checks take place outside of the...

    A general thread about Korean dramas

    At the fist of of taking us back to our medieval roots… I’m a big fan of The Kingdom. Such a good story. With a satisfying beginning, middle and end. Love the characters, love the drama! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(South_Korean_TV_series)

    D&D 5E (2024) Infiltration with a familliar

    That’s really good. I can see a lot of thought has gone into that and it really covers the bases for me be different intelligence types. Some I never even thought of. Though perhaps because I focus on fantasy. It’s a really simple but effective framework though.

    D&D General WotC Continues D&D's Advance To Digital First Brand

    Wow. Two people have now posted that ENworld is the current Headquarters of We-Love-WotC-Inc. I nearly fell of my chair. The general sentiment I see repeated is down-with-WotC and Vive La Revolution! Sly Flourish has generated 20 pages of shock horror simply for having the temerity to suggest...

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    NM. I’m not gonna argue the OGL War again though. It was 3 years ago. Time to move on.

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Sorry… wrong thread. I thought this was the Warhammer Memes thread. … oh wait, no it is the right thread.

    D&D 5E (2024) Infiltration with a familliar

    So effectively, abstract that further to a party wide skill challenge. The familiar might be one way of acquiring knowledge for the wizard PC, but the bard might go and busk across the street, the fighter might bribe an off duty guard, the rogue might spy for the rooftops for a night. I do...

    D&D 5E (2024) Infiltration with a familliar

    Exactly it’s more deigned for buildings in a heist campaign rather than a classic dungeon. Museum, Warehouse, Nobles Manor, Livery Stables etc. Multiple access. Just giving the details is an option. That is the default in Golden Vault. I guess that discovery phase is part of the fun of a heist...

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    Definitely involved. I guess my question was more about whether it’s created by or edited with. Questioning whether it’s a fair and/or moral example. Not so much whether it should be disclosed but what it should be disclosed as. To be clear. This isn’t personal to me. I have never ran an...
