    D&D 4E D&D 4E fans: what do you like about 4E?

    - transparency in the background math allowing for improvising and adjustments on fly -Better balance between options of different classes giving them each something to consistently do rather than always being outshined by other classes - Simple power stat blocks for monsters so dm does not need...

    D&D General Which D&D World Would Make the Best TV Show

    If you’re going for episodic series, hollow world. Why? The hollow world ( for those that don’t know) is ancient civilizations that have been picked and placed for preservation all next door to each other). So traveling from place to place is an easy for a variety of locations and situations...

    Barbie v. Oppenheimer: YOU DECIDE

    To quote WOPR “The only winning move is not to play” But if I must play, then Barbie as the other option is just way too serious for what I personally want in a movie experience for myself.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    Anyone try multiplayer in bg3 much? I fiddled around a little and from what it seems you can have others join with their own unique PCs or take over one of your companions for more drop-in/drop-out. Also of note for multiplayer it’s not cross-system so others you want to play with need to be on...

    Watched two episodes so far. Enjoyable enough that I will watch more over the month. I appreciate this heads up as I would have missed it otherwise. :-)

    I understand the individual words but you put them together, I cannot comprehend these sentences… ‘hobbies’ ‘not gaming’ ? :oops:

    Tell me about your favorite theme park attractions

    Haunted mansion. It has excellent ambience and effects. A strong enough narrative. Also white water canyon ( it’s at a local theme park but I’m positive other places have similar things. You sit in a large circular 6 person thing that is basically a large tire with seats in a circle. It...

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    NASA test Global Thermonuclear War ( it’s a reference to an old movies that some of the younger folks here won’t get. But upon thinking that is what it was saying, all I kept picturing was a young Matthew Broderick on an old computer being asked ‘shall we play a game?)

    D&D General Time to divide loot, treasure, items….

    So in every adventuring party there is that moment when tangible rewards of encounters get divided out. What are methods your party is using currently? Do you keep a separate share for group funds or everyone pays their own and loot divided out equally without a separate party fund? Suppose...

    D&D 5E Challenging a tanky one-trick pony PC

    Either monsters or terrain that can move/separate the PCs from their desired formation. A big bad in solo combat with a squishy pc will get some scattering and loss of focus fire.

    D&D General Do you like LOTS of races/ancestries/whatever? If so, why?

    From a player perspective, don’t like it as they all start to wash and no distinct cultural different emerges. It’s too much pressure on a dm to come up with distinct culture for each society introduced and each of those societies in going to have a statistical majority race whose norms might...

    Birthday (11/23)!

    Happy birthday, your birthday is kind of fibbinacci sequence :) (1-1-2-3….) It would be even more so if you were born in ‘58! :-D

    Quantum Leap Reboot (spoilers allowed)

    While still not thrilled by dual time line focus ( I would rather more focus on Ben in other lives to get more POV and empathy in to that side of the story; but that’s just personal taste), I am still enjoying the show enough to keep watching :)

    D&D General Are all the freebies worth it when taking them means my Pc is a escaped slave that's wanted dead or alive and has a price of 58,290 Gold on his head?

    As a dm I would dislike this greatly as it causes the DM several headaches. (1) you’d have extra gold and magic items as a resource, that leads to needing to do extra effort to balance encounters for your different resources (2) unless other PCs have that level, you’ll be unbalanced in resources...

    D&D General Advice on Writing Players Guide/Hook

    My player guides tend to run three pages Page 1: setting stuff A four sentence max “elevator pitch” to grab attention, sprinkle the themes of the starting arc(s)/setting - basically your move trailer. Then a couple paragraphs at history, the first paragraph giving some older history that...

    WotC Dragonlance: Everything You Need For Shadow of the Dragon Queen

    So….. dragonlance, I’ve never played in it beyond the name dragonlance was on some modules but it was played in such a way that it could have been any generic fantasy setting when you filed off the names. I’ve been playing d&d for many many many decades but mostly been home brew ( some mystara...
