    D&D (2024) DM Tracking Sheets

    Even better they aren't locked so if edit the PDF you can delete all the cutesy artwork, or even add stuff that is a little less Disney does D&D.

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    Library Thing - currently 731 of my Gaming books are recorded there. However unfortunately you have manually enter a lot of the RPG books, as for some stupid reason it doesn't recognise them as books even though they are listed on Amazon, which is one of the places it searches. What's even more...

    Death of Player Characters

    Been playing for 40 years and I can't think of a single Call of Cthulhu game I've played where combat was the focus of the game, rather than something to try to avoid at all costs. I guess Pulp Cthulhu is more combat focused but I've not played that version. But examples of (none one shots)...

    D&D 5E How would you do the Krull Cyclops as a PCs?

    No range restriction on Forseen Doom? You can some how take the damage regardless of distance between you and the target of the damage? How is that explained do they teleport next to the target, do magic missiles suddenly turn in flight to strike the Rell? It's 5th Edition we don't given...

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I'm not saying it is objectively worse. I am saying it is objectively less challenging, things like death saves, putting stat adjustments where you like, making undead take sneak attack damage, are all objectively less challenging. It is a different style of game, not objectively worse. In fact...

    Embracing AI in TTRPGs - Enhancing, Not Replacing, Creativity

    I think this is the major problem with AI currently, it is great at making plausible stuff up, but isn't any good at fact checking. From what I've been told about how AI's currently work, it isn't something that is that easy to fix due to the nature of how they handle data, am sure it will be...

    Embracing AI in TTRPGs - Enhancing, Not Replacing, Creativity

    Lets see how ChatGPT it does with one of your other problems. Okay I think there are a number of map artists that could have drawn that, so now we are really getting into ethically questionable areas. But it's not like I (as an individual DM) would have paid an artist to do this in the past, I...

    Embracing AI in TTRPGs - Enhancing, Not Replacing, Creativity

    Out of curiosity I threw a couple of your questions into ChatGPT. Summarize the history of the city of Waterdeep and "Give me a list of the named wizards from the city of Thay, from Dungeons and Dragons" Problem is being produced by AI I've no way of knowing what is accurate, that it has...

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    I'm sorry you find it inflammatory, but I'm not sure what other words to use, perhaps "cater for" rather than "pamper" would have sounded nicer? But pamper is more accurate as it has been done to provide a comfort rather than meet a need, people had been playing for decades without the need for...

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    The problem is rules design not based on at least some level of realism, it lacks verisimilitude and that makes it feel more like a game an less like a believable world your character is inhabiting. Like the strongest Halflings being as strong as strongest Goliath or poisons damaging...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer Is A New UK Magazine To Teach D&D

    Considering the initial posts advertising has about 20+ full 3D plastic minis in the first four issues, that is a bit of a disappointment in comparison.
