    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    I had never seen a site/service that needed more than one type of authentification .. and most of these sell stuff and save your progression (like shopping cart), so I don't buy that argument. I rather think that they pushed its release before it was ready (like so many other software/sites). :P

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    It needs a Wizards Account even when you log in with Google (Apple, etc.). Why??

    D&D General D&D Pinball Machine in Action

    So I edited the OP, it's hopefully more clear now. :) But the main thing is the Video, I only described the things he said because it's in German.

    D&D General D&D Pinball Machine in Action

    The German Magazin heise.de showed the D&D Pinball Machine in a youtube short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7U0G3W9pcTw You can choose between 4 character classes, 3 additional can be unlocked through play. You can save your progression via App (it behaves like an rpg?). There are 3 different...

    New Trailer for Secret Level's D&D Episode Released

    Yeah, that was cool but deeply disturbing ;) I loved the New World Episode. Really fun, cool Ending and voiced by Arnold Schwarzenegger! 8D I'm very impressed by the Series so far. I liked every episode except for D&D and Crossfire.

    New Trailer for Secret Level's D&D Episode Released

    I sadly wasn't a fan of it, mainly because of the Ending and didn't like the Art-Style. On the plus side, the References and Action was fun. It also had cool Diablo Vibes.

    D&D (2024) 3 Months in - Weapon Mastery

    I feared they might be a problem, but in the games i GM'd so far the players hat tons of fun with it and it wasn't a big deal on my side. The most common Mastery was Vex and Nick, but the players tried other like Topple, Cleave, Sap,.. to mostly good effect. I thought sap would be a drag since...

    D&D (2024) Group Checks?

    Yeah, but usually the highest is not the one with the highest skill, but those who rolled the highest on the D20. And I agree that this need not be a group-check, but usually if a knowledge (or perception) roll fails, than the other players start to yell that they want to roll too until one...

    D&D (2024) Group Checks?

    I think the DMG has exactly the wrong reasons for Group Checks (which I usually really like). It should be a tool to make some group attempts interesting instead (near-)automatic misses or successes. It's not only tied to stealth, but also to knowledge or perception checks, where a singe...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    Yeah I overlooked the passage about Dwarves Tremorsense having a restriction. But it's still a very awesome ability :)

    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    We played another 3rd Level one-shot (I was the GM). This time we had other Weaponspecialisations in use .. Cleave and Topple. Both felt quite good for the Players (except that the Cleave-Paladin missed nearly all his rolls) and was fine for me as the GM. The Paladin and Fighter felt very...

    D&D (2024) New DMG Encounter Building Math vs 2014

    Like Retros_x said, I never thought of the old XP Valus as the lower threshold, but instead as the number that you should achive and any discussions I read/heard about difficulty was also always with the printed numbers in mind. So I would say that the newer table is more difficult even without...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    It's a mix of why are Attributes connected to the Backgrounds, anoyance about the fixed Feats and there are no customization options. The Formula to create them yourself is clear, but we play with AL Rules and it was more of a theoretical discussion. Anyway .. anyone else have some interesting...

    D&D (2024) Pact Of Chain Warlock is really powerful now.

    Yeah they are much stronger now, especially at low level, but not a s OP as I believed: https://www.enworld.org/threads/pact-of-the-chain-broken-at-low-levels.706519/

    D&D (2024) 2024 Artificer

    I played an Artillerist to 12th level, and it was a blast! As an at-will damage powerhouse, I was dealing around 9d6 damage per round while maintaining solid AC and some cool tricks up my sleeve. While I couldn't go nova like a Paladin or unleash flashy high-level spells like a Wizard, my...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    Oh yeah, there was also one negative Point. There was a long discussion about Backgrounds and no one really seems happy with how they work now. But this was only a discussion, in play we didn't have a problem, at least with their one-shot Characters.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Impressions and Surprises from real play Experiences

    Played again yesterday.. - Cure Wounds and Healing Word is much stronger now. A second Level Cure Wounds healed a 3rd Level Character from 0 to max. They feel right now (no longer only a last resort) even though I usually dislike combat healing! 8D - Short Rest is now more interesting for most...

    That would explain why Dwarves hate swimming. They always feel when someone is peeing in the pool ;)
