Have they changed the setup so that only 5 posts appear per page? I feel I always pressing the next button. 😜

They’ve got some pretty huge brands. Though the article does mentioning up to 3.9x leverage through the deal and therefore that profit is around £260m. I can believe that based on the IP they own.

I’m surprised none of the D&D surveys over the last few years every asked the question.

I’ll flip that and say most of the DMs I know run published adventures more than homebrew and most I see that do homebrew add these elements into published campaigns.

Well there’s nothing like 13 pages of baseless speculation and mud throwing by the uninformed to demonstrate the worst we have to offer. I wonder how you folks would react if you quit your job and people responded this way. Maybe she’s gone to work for a company with a less hostile fanbase.

Really sorry to hear that Fitz. It’s so unfair. I’m sure it’s a relief your business can bear it but it sucks that you have to, when you could have used that $4k somewhere else. If be wary about spending a fortune on security. In my time I’ve seen burglars cut through ceilings, cut through stud...

It’s great reading adventures that are character, event and motivation driven even when they involve lots of combat. Rather than kick down this door and kill the things inside. Search for treasure. Repeat. The funny thing is I would enjoy D&D more of it adopted this more ‘modern’ approach (even...

Drow gonna drow. Lol. I seem to remember the same.

A lot of love. I have a very old pdf knocking about somewhere and comparing the two the reprint is gorgeous. I know I’ve seen some comments in other threads that TTRPG books should resemble technical manuals. But my god these books are fun to read as the DM.

Sure all human is relatively common in groups I’ve played. Never had an all dwarf. But i did play in an all Drow campaign that was a lot of fun a few years ago.

I wonder how much of the feedback in the thread is from older editions because there seems to be a lot of advice in the substantial introduction to the 7e version about survivability, local customs, law enforcement, sanity etc. Don’t get me wrong. It suggests having a back up character but it...

I’ve read the Peru section. Wow. That is pretty dark stuff! Reads brilliantly though.

That sounds brutal. I’ve always found that kind of play just slows down play and hurts immersion rather than helping it. Sorry you experienced that. Some really good watch outs there. I’ve decided to spring the £50 to buy it. Really helpful to read the feedback from other players to highlight...

How much of this stuff is heavy handed DMing? I usually see published works as a coloring in book rather than a paint by numbers. They give the pattern and the complexity but if I want to paint something red Instead of blue then I do it. It feels like a lot of the stuff that’s being described...

One of the things I like about how magic is handled in the Wheel of Time is that magic. However as the main cast of characters find out more about and interaction with the ancient world the reasons for some of these traditions becomes apparent. It creates a lot of depth. Its also interesting...

What are the principles of magic in the Avatar world? I know it’s elemental but how does it work? What are the boundaries… if any?

Make them sorcerers with a sorcery point per HD

I just love the Dragon Kings of Athas. The idea of powerful mages using life-leeching magic to imbue themselves with the Draconic transformation. Becoming a new evolution of magic user this way is pretty darn cool. Particularly with Borys as a clear example of the power of the end result. Smart...

No this isn’t in the D&D forum because it’s not about the PHB or game rules. The question is which Magic systems in fiction - written or screen - do you like? By principles, I mean conventions, and restrictions that put limits on magic and make it interesting and engaging to you? I thought I’d...
