Those look great! I can't believe you made a digital Jenga tower.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I had a lot of fun playing around on Google Sheets and turning it into a character sheet. I was able to put in custom menus so a player could select their ancestry, select skill proficiencies, equip weapon, spell foci, and shields, etc.

You know what? I found that pretty funny and silly. It got a good chuckle from me.

If your players aren't too into the nitty gritty of rules, then you could leave it up to the individual player. You could help them understand the differences between the 5.0 classes and the 5.5, and if it's a change they're interested in, they can use 5.5, but if they want to stick with what...

I'm glad you're having fun with the experience. For me, D&D is a game to play with other people. Part of the joy for me is the collaboration and creativity between my friends and I. Talking about the game after, sharing sketches and ideas... The thought of replacing all that with an AI DM makes...

I love how eclectic TTRPGs are these days. The fact that a game about a coven of witches running a cozy coffee shop makes one million dollars makes me very happy.

Small Gods was my first Discworld book and remains one of my favorites. But I had to vote for Night Watch, my absolute favorite! Go Vimes!

Let's say I've made my own custom stripped-down version of 5e, which folks often do. For those of you who have done so, how do I go about making a digital character sheet? Not just a sheet that can be printed (I've already done that), but one that can be interacted with by a player. Maybe even...

Using prepared adventures always gives me the impatient wiggly feeling of doing homework (I was terrible at getting homework done), while creating adventures always gives me the exciting urgent feeling of creating art.

Most of the stuff in this thread (learning rules, organizing maps and counters, helping quiet players) are things I do enjoy about DMing. What I really, really hate is scheduling games. Trying to coordinate four to six people, setting up calendars, double checking dates, sending out reminders...

There's a deleted scene of George R R Martin running out onto the field with a mace in order to maintain continuity.

I just can't believe she was responsible for the disappointing plot of the final season.

Hercules is definitely a barbarian! He is defined by his incredible strength, endless fortitude, and blind rage in which he (checks notes) kills his whole family

It would be interesting to have a Life Path system that also incorporates a collaborative World Building System. So you're playing out scenarios of your characters' intertwined lives while also establishing truths about the world.

Just a general reminder that whatever you thought of the original Radiant Citadel book, Taylor Navarro did not write it. She was a writer on a companion piece. I think it's really exciting that WotC is hiring a lot of new folks with a variety of RPG publishing experience! I also notice that the...

I picked the last three species I played: halfling, dragonborn, goblin.

I've fallen pretty hard away from superhero comics, but I'm a pretty consistent indie comic book reader. Some of my recent favorites have been: John Muir: to the Heart of Solitude A biography of John Muir, it made me want to drop everything and go hiking. The Library Donkey of Cordoba...

I had a DM who would always manage to work xenomorphs into any kind of RPG campaign we were playing.

There should definitely be a Batman RPG in which everyone plays as Batman but the different classes represent different versions of the character. One class is the Adam West campy Batman, another one is the Dark Knight grim and gritty Batman, psychedelic Grant Morrison Batman, etc.
