So my current campaign is probably my most "Dungeons Plus Dragons" campaigns I have run in some time. It takes place in a rediscovered underground necropolis and one of the main NPCs and patron to the party is an ancient Deep Dragon.

Part of the issue is that people don't actually know how to engage in criticism typically. They just have opinions. It's not the same.

Have yet to watch this vid, but yeah. It is also what you let yourself stew in. Besides trying my best to not bother with unneeded negative critique, I am trying to consume less media that engages in such.

The shout out to Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue almost makes me need to buy this.

I don't operate under the premise that the classes are balanced in all things. My concern is things to do on your turn, in this regard anyway.

So I have grown to be fine with it because for some classes, there just aren't that many things that are bonus actions and for others, they have a lot of high value choices. So a wizard who's already cast a spell can use a bonus action for some quick healing instead of having nothing to do...

Sir, my wife is a nurse. Why would I endanger my own life in such a way?

I had an evil grandma/gangster/Deep one voice that my wife proptly banned me from ever using again after the game.

Also, thinking further, Gloom is very similar. You could just play cards, but its much more fun when you are weaving a story around them.

So back in the TCG gold rush of the late 90s, there was a Call of Cthulhu card game called "Mythos." What was interesting was that your deck was in a sense an adventure with characters trying to complete goals. So when we played it, we played narratively, where when you played a card, you wove...

My issue (Among many) is that the program attempted to cover it's tracks. I honestly suspect this is a feature, not a bug, ie, programmers are instructing the LLM to double down. The program can't lie, but the programmers can through the program.

I try my best to be Neutral Good. Doing right by people, upholding justice while defending liberty and opposing the wicked. Sometimes you have to use clear rules. Sometimes you have to make it up as you go. But either way, you have to be kind.

The binding. Mine disintegrated into just a bunch of loose pages in like a year.

My real question is, what influence did coke have on the design of D&D? It was the 70s after all.

It's funny, but I'm kinda the reverse of this in that the appeal of Eberron really stuck me early on, but I don't think I have ever run anything in the setting, just have taken parts for my own. Granted, this is common enough for my magpie GMing style, but still. I like that it is not a half...

So it depends. Most often, no. I preplan out some situations where there can be combat, do up stats for the encounter, and what happens happens. In nearly all games I run I don't just have "An interval has happened, lets see if you encounter an obstacle randomly." The exception are games based...

I went with 7. Broadly fine. Some good quality of life improvements. I think the game is at a sort of complexity ceiling before jumping to a higher tier if it grows moreso. Sanding off all the rough edges has both positive and negative payoffs. It is more harmed by the disaster of the roll out...

YMMV. I would say "no". I think the point I disagree with is how the OP frames the content of the PHB in the wider world. It's always been my assumption that adventurers, what the PCs are, are outliers. Unusual. Eberron is a setting that specifically says otherwise, but in most other settings...
