Sorry, wasn't clear to me!

That Mercer quote doesn't say he's sharing the main beats with his players, only that he's planning them out ahead of time . . . like many DM's do. Of course, there could be more to the interview you are quoting from, or from other interviews . . .

It STILL hasn't been taken away! A dude can still look at that wonderful painting and envision themselves in the role of the warrior! This new miniature doesn't take that away, it takes nothing away. It just welcomes in a wider variety of folks.

The D&D Basic Set with this Elmore painting on the box cover was my first D&D purchase. I've got a lot of memories and nostalgia wrapped up in that product, and that painting! I assumed the warrior in the painting was male, most folks did, it's clearly coded male, and we later learned that this...

As an old player myself . . . I find your pique ridiculous. It's not WotC's intention to leave any fans in the dust, but . . . I'm okay with folks who get upset at this sort of thing pushing themselves out of the hobby.

Yup. In the 90s, I had an enormous bookshelf of RPG books . . . today I have a much smaller, curated selection of my favorite books, beautifully illustrated books, and much-used books. All the splat in my life is now digital. I run an afterschool D&D Club . . . the kids prefer the ease of D&D...

Unless I'm missing something, you do not need to have pre-ordered the Ravenloft book for these "play-along packs". First one is free for everybody, later ones will have a cost. Having said that . . . these don't seem to be very exciting releases. I'll certainly "claim" the first one, and we'll...

Not so much your difference of opinion . . . it's your need to threadcrap. Gladly! I love DDB! Use it every week! Oh you're allowed to threadcrap. And we're allowed to call you out on it. If you don't care for actual play shows . . . actually, I don't really either. And . . . who cares? Why...

Thanks for your positive contribution to the thread.

Locked to a platform . . . where you can create a free account . . . the horror (of Ravenloft).

Pactweaver? Binder! Excited! :)

I think it's okay to ask! If a new player came to my table with a character option from a 3rd-party source, I'd be okay with the ask, and I'd certainly consider it. But if I decided to not allow the specific option the player was hoping to use, I would expect them to be okay with that also...

Yup. Some folks actually do make a living at being professional game masters. Ginni D has actually done a couple of videos on the topic, I think this one is the first:

I agree! Excited to add this to my toolbox of setting locales!

If you "don't care" about something integral to my identity, such as my gender orientation . . . than I "don't care" to game with someone so closed minded.

I find the "D&D Fanatic" website a whole lot sketchier than I do ENWorld. I do subscribe to ENWorld, so I see less ads . . . but unless things are much worse than when I wasn't subscribing, ENWorld isn't sketchy . . . too many pop-ups, but not sketchy. YMMV. How many pop-ups (and where they...

Relax. They still sell non-collectible dice, you don't have to purchase these to play the game. And, the collectible dice ship sailed a long time ago . . . WotC's partners have been releasing randomized dice sets for a couple of years now. Up to now, it's been 6 or 7 dice sets, this new...

The author of that article is just doing what we are doing here, speculating on what the job posting REALLY means . . . this "D&D Fanatic" isn't a source, just a fan speculating . . . and making some seriously huge leaps of logic . . . And that website . . . so many pop-ups and ads . . .

The D&D "Orb of Possibility" (from Fanroll) does a good job . . . but does need batteries, isn't really a POPR (it's a spinner), but it can roll whatever dice you put into it. I'd avoid metal dice, but otherwise, regular acrylic, resin, or silicon dice work well. I was wondering if the various...
