Another weirdly timely thread for Me… I am currently obsessed with playing a volo’s hobgoblin. I have done AI art modeling, used character generators…obsessed. I love the idea of a wizard with a greataxe and armor…love the aesthetics and culture. In fact, thinking about DMing the goblin...

Do you have a beef with this person? Oh. Yeah. This is how you interact with everyone. Lord. But at least it’s not personal.

I am trying to figure this out… Without a predetermined plot, a story is emergent…after play. This is especially true if you consider D&D to be a wargame with additions. That said, in our current campaign we have had cut points before a new series of challenges emerge. These might be...

No worries! And I don’t hate5e art. I don’t like the later stuff (mostly 2024). I will never stop liking Easley or erol otus weirdness! I did not prefer 2e…found I liked some of 3e…especially Lockwood dwarf in the PHB! But while I wax nostalgic I am really thinking about playing a hobgoblin...

I think I have longer than my wife. I am in healthcare…but in time we are all hosed. I think I will have the decade I need to retire…after that all bets are off. I think they will have fewer doctors spread over even larger areas with AI taking the diagnostic work and more nurses for hands...

My wife and I hold several degrees each. My job is pretty safe for a while. I worry about hers more but really my kids the most. I say to my wife “plumbers shall inherit the earth.” We will need to build places to house the computers…and infrastructure to live. When we pass heavy equipment...

I am genuinely concerned for my kids and as one enters college and the world Of work I don’t know how to direct anymore. Keep asking them if they would be interested in the trades…turning a wrench, pipe fitting etc. Some Of us geeks about to get geeked.

One reason I like this thread is that you can see that D&D lives on…it changes some but the essence lives. I also like that there are things to be brace in a lot of places. My group has played and enjoyed so much over the years from three editions at least. We played AD&D from high school...

I know yours is a genuine question an inquiry so will try to answer. First things first: I think 5e (gulp) might be superior to 1e in some respects. Secondly, if you see it “a lot” there is probably something there. And I think you are asking honestly so I will try to articulate. Enter all...

Had not thought of this. Stolen.

This a fun topic! I have these discussions with myself… As it turns out I really enjoy 5e but also miss AD&D! At the outset let me say I love 5e (2014) so my criticisms are preferences only, not deal breakers. Dislikes: 1. The tone. The art is good but the move toward happy shiny people...

I don’t think wizards are all that…at all…tier one and tier two. And I have never wanted to play one more… Maybe I don’t have the secret playbook of exactly what combos of spells to use to destroy the game.

Just curious how many enworlders are heading to Gary Con. I am for the first time. I previously loved gencon…back to Milwaukee days even and high school! But it’s a little crowded for me now. May go again may not… But my pals say Gary Con will hit the spot. Looking forward to both AD&D...
