    D&D General Prep is Not Play. . . Or is it?

    I try to stay “in the game” and terrain, drawing, mini collecting helps curb the urge to play when I cannot. Today I found images for character representation…and have a bunch of terrain to dry brush…

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    I am a big Gygax fan generally. But am so glad D&D survived to the present. Like 5e…but am most grateful it is not “the end.” It might be the end for me, but the game lives on. But make no mistake the game lives! I have been playing about 4 decades and now my kids play (they only know...

    D&D (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Yeah. Good for goose, good for gander. The game is and is always an arms race if you want challenges. The problem with magic being too powerful is best handled I think with making it dangerous. Clearly that is not how the game has trended and may not be what a majority wants. 🤷‍♂️ Just...

    D&D (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    I feel you but with some recent games we had player death and did not capture or kill the main target. I think all things being equal, yes, the game leans into players showing off toys. Because they have too many! And I don’t men variety but rather number of uses. Combine spells and domain...

    Ok. You got The answers. You get people to go with your way…the better way. The way you like. Congrats.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    If the group does not communicate or get along, no other recommendation matters much: in which case imploring people to find matters little. I am saying find the guns nd group you like. If you do, you will avoid poor communication and dashed expectations. Find your fun. Find your group...

    May not apply to you…but read the formula broadly and I suspect you will see what I am talking about.

    D&D General Satanic Panic at the Disco- Did Beelzebubba Cause D&D's First Crash, Y'all?

    I lived it as a kid and had to be a closet player for a while. It caused me genuine anxiety and negative vibes from a babysitter. I ultimately came clean…and my concerned parent saw I was a kind sensitive kid that did not spontaneously combust if taken to church and protected and nurtured...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    As a simple test of logic…(don’t got all philosophy 101 on me…please, for Pelor’s sake)… A lot of people seem to have fun playing D&D. And many of them play things differently. By what standard are they wrong? For me this is a space to talk about how you do it—-what your group likes… How...

    Aging and Gaming

    It is brutal. I have the space…and a game table. I have lots of minis. I have most of the books. I have a room full of boardgames… But I am so tired after work. The dogs need to be fed. Gotta take the kids to sports…home maintenance…family stuff- aged parents. Damn time to work again...

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Not sure how people miss it… It’s not selling out unless you are making something that is subpar, internationally for the sake of profit. Foibles and all, if you can’t support a shoe salesman moving up due to entrepreneurship you are just too legit to quit. And that is what I most...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I don’t “know you” but that bothers me man. I am sorry to hear it. I HATE careless cruelty almost as much as pre planned nonsense. Someone recently threw their door open and scraped brown paint in my white care. For 9 years I have kept the sides clean. Then spend 2500 to discussed the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was feeling done with the internet in general and rpg related stuff online. Probably at the tail end of a depressive episode. But I played D&D with pals and it kept going. Called home “I gotta finish this battle.” But it ended up being a series of battles…and a chase…and a character got...

    Is this an either or scenario with sandboxes? When it’s my turn to DM I run my homebrew world. I know ahead of time how different areas are set up—how likely the militia may come to help or hinder etc. I have factions and maps etc But I do not know everything that’s going to happen...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    First of all…had no idea. How interesting. Secondly, aren’t things like cy min already not a big Mexican thing? Or am I imagining such an article?!

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    A weird thing buck rogers… I bought buck rogers battle gor The 25th century in the cheap at KMart… It basically got my group into plastic dudes on a map and was the gateway to axis and allies and shogun. My friend just had the buck rogers map blown up and is playing anew… I associated with...
