Anyone else watching this? It feels substantially different from the Martha Wells novels to me, but I still quite like it as its own thing.

For miniature collectors and painters: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/archon-studio/dnl7-porthaven It's been very successful and is now in "overtime," which means you can still back and get a pretty sweet set of stretch goals - I am buying two core sets which, with SGs is well under a...

This works really well, and was on my short list of features that I would like to see. There's a new tab for "stickers" with overhead views of things like trees, chests, rugs, doors, etc. that you can place on maps and resize as needed. Very easy to use and makes the maps more customizable...

A discussion in another thread made me reflect on a practice that I think has all but vanished from modern TTRPGS: the character who is considered separate from the campaign. Back in the day (late 70s/early 80s), it was common practice to have one or two primary characters that you took with...

Now that Sigil is pining for the fjords, what simple, easy to use and integrate options would you like to see added to Maps on DDB? Here are mine: 3d tokens (cartoonish; not overly detailed) Spell templates and condition markers A simple map builder.

Well, this is just fun: https://lithub.com/the-best-villains-in-literature-bracket-the-not-so-sweet-16/ My money's on Sauron, though Nurse Ratched and Pennywise might have something to say about it in his bracket. And Satan is lurking as a possible finalist as well...

I want to know more about how Project Sigil is actually working, so the + here is not meant to indicate that comments have to be positive, but that they should just be focused on discussing the VTT itself, not opinions about monetization, how it was announced, what it means for the future of...

The point of this thread is not to criticize, but to reflect on our own DM journey and hopefully offer inspiration to others. One thing I think we can all agree on is that nobody has perfected DMing and we can all find ways to improve. Mine: Strengths: I'm pretty good at world-building and...

There are a lot of fun little details in the latest Monster Manual. What are some favourites? Mine is that the primeval owlbear (already an awesome new addition) gets a fly speed of 5'. That is just an adorable image.

Two of my campaigns have Circle of the Moon druids who have found that the new rules are definitely not fulfilling their class fantasy (being able to shift into a beast, including fantastical beast, and kick butt). I agree with them that the 2024 version is super underwhelming, and gave them...

I'm going to my first Gen Con this summer - my buddy and I have talked about it since we were kids, and this is finally the year. What are the can't miss events/things to do. I would like to get into a D&D game - is that feasible? I have tickets to the Critical Role show. Also, where is the...

Inspired by the "Is Intimidate the worst skill in the game thread," let's see what people on this forum think. Pick your bottom FOUR skills for D&D5e.

This looks so much more in line with how I see Superman than did the last iteration. It has me excited.

I just saw this on Netflix. I can't recommend it enough, especially as a long-time World of Warcraft player. But beware, it'll get you in the feels:

When we play tested the weapon mastery rules in my home campaign, I liked them. They slowed things down slightly, but it was only two players and they knew what they were doing. My new campaign at school has eight players, half of them brand new, three of whom have weapon mastery. And it is...

Very informative video for those who are interested in how the sausage is made. Parts of this video have previously been posted, but this includes much more.

What are your thoughts on how the epic boons stack up? All of them add 1 to any ability score, to a maximum of 30. Here's what I'm thinking: Combat Prowess: once per round, turn one miss into a hit. "A" tier for martial classes, "S" tier for rogues. If you have a lot of attacks, you are...

This is a perennial debate amongst a segment of the community. In the attached video, Matt Mercer and Marisha Ray discuss it very frankly, and go into detail about how episodes of Critical Role are produced. They also address the "Matt Mercer Effect" towards the end of the video (it's...
