    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    I think you are promoting anti-party values World building addiction is a thing, hundreds suffer from it.

    D&D 5E WotC Explains 'Canon' In More Detail

    Honestly, when a company changes their properties canon enough, why should any one else care what they consider canon? People already pick and choose what they like and ditch what they dont, and thats the way it should be. 4e lore only with midichlorines is clearly the best way to play dnd.

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    Im pretty sure if you do it too much you will go blind. Both Metaphorically and literally.

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    Honestly, Ive read the Similarian, I cant recommend it. It is not that good. Tolkien didnt even want to release it for years. It actually has very little to do with Lord of the rings, its mostly a very long a drawn out history of the origin of the phile of light Frodo got from Gladriel, and the...

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    In fairness, no one cares about the lore of a world to begin with. No one read the Similarian until after they fell in love with The Lord of the Rings. Your players wont be invested until they have a reason to get invested. I would incorporate your in game history and world quirks directly into...

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister Offers A Hidden Fifth Edition Computer Gem

    sure. Hope you gained access to those shops very early on when you could or you have locked yourself out of them for the rest of the game.

    Has any one played Icons?

    So my brother was thinking of running a superhero game and he found the game Icons wich I had never heard of. glancing over it it seems ok, if a little vague. Its a very much an ask your GM kind of game where rules are soft and the focus is on co-operative story telling, or at least thats my...

    D&D 5E What does 5E do well?

    5e is great at being easy to learn for new players, being fast to run (possibly its greatest virtue) and being fairly easy to home brew with out breaking. Its also a game most people can live with even if its not their favorite. Being a jack of all trades and a master of none is not a bad thing...

    D&D General Do You Run NPC vs NPC Battles? Why?

    Do I ? No. Would I? Only if I was positive the Players would enjoy it, and rarely even then. If you can manage to get the players invested enough in an NPC that they care about how a fight they are not taking part in turns out then go for it, but that is far easier said then done. I would...

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister Offers A Hidden Fifth Edition Computer Gem

    I bought and finished the game. The combat is quite enjoyable, even if single player dnd is far less fun then doing it with friends. Low rolls with friends can be fun, by your self not so much. That being said this is the only true (or mostly true) 5e battle emulator on the market Im aware of...

    D&D General How Do You All Use Dragons In Your Worlds And Campaigns?

    I like to use them sparingly. Less is definitely more. Make to many dragon themes and suddenly they lose all of their mystique. My favorite adventure is when the party needed to use a portal guarded by a brass dragon, he wouldnt let them unless they completed a mission for him. So they get on...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Pretty good but short. There are dangers with incorporating 1 PC into the main story too much even if all players agree to the idea in session 0. 1 player who was linked to the main story could not make it meaning when the rest of the party got to the point were advancing the story would be...

    D&D 5E "The problem with 5e" is the best feature - advantage

    You cant have it both ways. Want to count every individual factor in an attack and do the math? Thats the Path finder way. Want to siplify it to advantage or disadvantage? Thats the 5e way. I dont think there is a perfect middle ground, anything that tries to account for all factors will end up...
