    RPG Evolution: Why Paper Beats Pixels

    Commenting to highlight a few of Arilyn's points; there's something intrinsic when you pick up a physical book, open it up and use it, just like it is when you make the choice to take notes by hand with a pen or pencil, try your hand at standee drawing, or attempt to draw a map on graph paper...

    D&D 5E (2014) DC in DnD: Superman

    I would consider a high damage reduction of some kind; I have the same sentiment as Morrus in this regard (Doomsday isn't the only DC character that has straight up pummeled Superman). I'd switch Int/Wis, or at least lower Wis. Superman is very intelligent and comes from an advanced...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your CR limit for an average 1st level party?

    Like Zardnaar + few others, I think CR 2 (or broken up among several monsters) is prudent; like a white room & PCs as you described. I could see CR 3, but if I were putting something like this together, I'd advocate for some environment/feature that could be leveraged by PCs to their benefit.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unfreezing the Narrative

    In my campaign, this was resolved by switching to a variation of side initiative. My table doesn't play a lot with the weapon tags.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    Briefly places editor hat on: Morrus doesn't mention this here, but what is an exterior change on the cover also affects content in your project e.g. how you may reference the 2024 rules inside. Also, it's not like prior published titles magically update themselves!

    Free League Announces Dragonbane: Trudvang

    Small post to mention this is def. getting a lot of word-of-mouth elsewhere now, more so than with other recent releases by Free League. The two comments I've come across most as to why there's much chatter is : a) the art, b) it's a dedicated setting that harps strongly on particular feels...

    D&D General D&D Fan Expo: London Main Show Is Coming This August

    I like the cast lineup... should be good given the combination; happy to see Wyll is there along with the rest! Want to express mild disappointment that some of the other actors from BG3 tend to not be brought in as frequently at these larger events that have live play (Halsin, Narrator...

    D&D General What do you do for housing?

    My modest experience with this is that housing (whatever shape it takes) tends to be engaged with more when: Obvious benefits are clear e.g. rather than paying 50 gp each time to utilize your neighbor's Library to take a Research action, you build your book collection and construct your own...

    Free RPG Day partners with Doctors Without Borders.

    A disaster response party... that's a motif that can be worked with!

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    Plenty of published sourcebooks already mentioned. Rules/mechanics/procedures for cities that I have fondness for: Downtime in Zyan (Ben Laurence) Sandbox Settlements: Prep, Run and Thrive (elmcat) Relationship Complications (Marcia B.) Swyvers generator for The Smoke (Gearing & Hoskins)...

    Echoing above format, non (5th ed) D&D games being played in person, roughly from most popular: Shadowdark Dungeon Crawl Classics AD&D OSE Call of Cthulhu Mothership / Delta Green / Shadowrun 6th ed

    D&D 5E (2024) Assassination on a PC yay or nay?

    If this is something the Shade would do, then it's warranted. You flagged it to them ahead of time. What opportunities come out of this at the table, is what will matter most.

    D&D General Why fear is good for PCs

    Obergruppenführer John Smith: " ...See, now you're some place, where good people actually look out for one another. I'll see you tomorrow." Juliana Crain: "Okay. Thanks." (pauses) "Wait. What about the key?" Obergruppenführer John Smith: "Oh, there isn't one." (smiles) "No one locks their doors...

    Minis for TTRPGs

    Need clarification with how Reaper Miniatures are organized on their website. What subcategories under "Plastic" should I be looking at... there seems to be older and newer molds of certain miniatures? :3

    D&D General What do you think?

    Don't have much to add regarding the particulars of this DM or your reaction over it, but as soon as I read, "...to compensate, I took magic initiate (Cleric) to be able to cast healing word and spare the dying..." my immediate thought was, I sure hope the rest of this party hoarded and paid for...

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    Related to what I mentioned previously, you might find some of these perspectives helpful to consider (though themed on the roles of magic):

    The Fifth Element Returning to Theaters

    I like the 5th Element! We have a small, indie owned theater about ~10 minutes away. It has two screens. They show one new release and either an older film or independent film depending. I think in that context it's good to be supportive as one is able.

    Ironsworn Actual Play

    Just echoing thankfulness in taking the time to detail this journey in Ironsworn. I've not played a lot of PbtA games, but from my sense, it feels like you're handling how it's played great! Like you've discovered, Moves should escalate or heighten conflict. Lean on your own thoughts of what...
