    How do you like to start a campaign

    Yeah, definitely looking for some structure to make use of. Some folk benefit from instruction, some guardrails, they don't jive with open-ended stuff as well.

    How do you like to start a campaign

    Yeah, these are the sorts of things I was looking for. I've improvised a few at session 0's but was never fully satisfied with them. I don't see a collection of Warriors of the World Ablaze, just playbooks released on the designers patreon. Dang.

    What tools do y'all have for establishing connections between PCs at session 0?

    Thundercats Are On The Move! Thundercats Are Loose! [Updated]

    Currently folk are waiting to see if PDFs are included with the physical copies- as it stands they are not, but the company is waiting to hear back from the licensor if that'll fly.

    That's somewhat comforting, I appreciate that info :)

    Justice Ramin Arman Promoted to Game Design Director of Dungeons & Dragons

    Yup! I really thought A5E would fix it too. Nope. I think someone said they made it a little worse 🥲 but I haven't compared them. I'd say "class niche protection!" but they really blew that up in 5e by letting anyone get the proficiencies needed to find and disarm traps 😂 And I kind of remember...

    Thundercats Are On The Move! Thundercats Are Loose! [Updated]

    Yeaaah I did a little googling on it, I guess I was wondering if anyone knew any of the people on the team, had experience with their previous works, whether it was any good, etc. Their website lists four people: We turn imagination into reality and we love every second of it. From...

    Does anyone know about the design chops behind this?

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    Yeah, IIRC Nimble2e says it's compatible with 5e adventures and monsters, I don't think it makes the same claim for characters due to system differences.

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    I've literally just been saying "a DM should be able to choose what content sources they allow into their DnDB campaign." That's it. They have existing settings for sharing your purchased content in a DnDB campaign. They have settings on the player character creation home page for what content...

    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    Someone once said we'd see a DnD6e when Disney buys Hasbro- it was probably ~5 years ago that he said that. I still think that sounds about right 🤣

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    Yes, this is the entirety of it. It just saves time and headaches; it makes the DM's life a little easier, because it sucks to have a player make a character with a bunch of content because they misunderstood something, and now I have to take all those toys away. Not a great feeling, and it can...

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I'd really like for this to be the case, but the linked piece Black did is pretty scary good, and it sounds like Black was able to alter details without ruining the overall picture. Gemini is crazy good right now, it seems to be way ahead of stuff like Midjourney...

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    I don't think its unreasonable for a DM to expect control over what sources they allow into their DnDB campaign, it doesn't seem like a crazy feature to expect and it makes it a little easier for the DM, buuut considering the pushback I must be the odd one out.

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    Ok so I see that they DID add this feature at some point, but it's not under the DM's campaign controls... It's under each individual character's settings when they're made. So you need to make sure each player has turned off all the stuff that you don't want to be used. That's kind of a pain...

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    I didn't want to derail the thread by continuing the ethics conversation, I felt like it was my bad because I brought it up in the first place, so I feel a little better that you're not put off by the convo happening here. To answer the other poster, "what societal impact?" I was talking both...

    D&D General Dwarven adventures recommendations

    Did you ever find something that had it all? Especially the first four. I can't say how many times I've delved into the premade adventure abyss trying to put together a somewhat tight fallen-dwarf hold adventure with hack n slash, puzzles, environs, and RP. I end up opening a couple random...

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    I'm listening to it now, I was gonna ask what did you do for core rules, but you just let everyone use the core ruleset that their characters were from which is so weird and funny, I'm glad, as you say in the vid, that everyone was still having a good time. Did you ever get any people asking...

    There's your answer 😆 The floor being much higher is a big deal for everyone that doesn't spend time on optimization forums.
