Thanks for pointing these out. The article didn't sit right with me when I first saw it, but I didn't feel qualified enough to respond to it. It's nice to see that it just seems to be written with an agenda against cats without proper scientific basis.

I second the ability to have this. Maybe through a "type username to block" so you don't need to be able to see someone to block them?

The in-game conception of adventurers in my world is something like Salvage companies: They delve into places outside the fringes of society, and recover stuff for people from those areas. Forgotten treasures. Difficult to find ingredients. They usually aim to help people, but they get a cut of...

I certainly don't mean to argue that the way my players play is the only true, modern way. However, I have experienced this with different groups rather consistently. Someone rolls a 1 or a 2 with their Hit Die and they immediately regret rolling for Hit Points. Initially what I did was "Either...

Well, modern players don't see hit points rolls as a casino. They see it as a fundamental aspect of surviving the game's expected difficulty (and I can't blame them given that the game is designed around players having average hit points and dealing average damage and monster having relative...

I think taking the average is too samey, but getting a 1 or a 2 on a hit die roll is disproportionately annoying for players, so if you give them the choice, they will try rolling once and then stick to the PHB average. I've devised a middle way which goes like this: everyone has to roll, but...

I guess we'll have to see what kind of adventures he produces for the MCDMRPG when that comes out!

Visiting Candlekeep would've been honestly fun. I also want someone to recreate Baldur's Gate 1 (and 2 but even dreams have limits) using the BG3 engine, and that would've been far easier if Candlekeep was already made.

I suspect she might be offed to show how strong Vecna is. D&D Socials posted sth like "Who'd win? Vecna or Tiamat?" followed by another "Who'd win? Vecna or Strahd?".

Is there any chance WotC could get another company to make D&D games using the BG3 engine - similar to how Obsidian made Neverwinter Nights 2 and Fallout New Vegas? I feel like Tactical Adventures (the small French company that made Solasta) could make a decent 5E/OneD&D game if given the...

I understood why they made the choice, but I really wish they made at least one DLC to expand the level range (to 15 or beyond) and also reincorporated stuff like the scrapped upper city. But I honestly can't blame them given how WotC and Hasbro have proven themselves to be unreliable partners...

That is hilarious. Imagine going to the other end of a continent after your homeland was conquered by Nordic/French warriors, you serve a completely different lord... And you have to fight these Nordic/French warriors again!

But how am I supposed to feel smug and morally superior in my cynicism by typing "Well a company's duty is to maximise the value for its shareholders, you're an idiot for demanding anything else ever" for the 100th time?

Dude is everything alr- Oh. Carry on, interesting tidbit indeed!

Also, in terms of highlights as in "the best books of the era", I think the run of books from March 2016 to May 2018 was a great time to be a 5e fan. Back to back, we had: Curse of Strahd, still one of the most popular 5e modules, Storm King's Thunder, a great adventure, Volo's, a significant...

While many people rightly criticise 5e's "natural language" approach as well as the vagueness of its rules right now, I think those were the right moves to make in 2014. Sure, 5e is still a complex game, and the designers ended up iterating on the "natural language" in a way that it no longer...

How do some of you people find the time to post all the time? The best I can do is sporadically check the forums at work, but some people are up 24/7, adding 5 pages of posts to threads that are as long as essays, all throughout the day. Do you not sleep?

I don't know about Wyll, but what I heard is that Shadowheart sneaks in to your camp if you don't recruit her, and if she dies, the artifact gets on your hands regardless.

My approach to social mechanics has a similar basis regardless of the system I'm playing, but I do modify it slightly. It takes the Reaction Roll as a basis, which I think was a really ingenious invention that modern D&D lost: A bell curve to determine the general disposition the opposing side...

Right there on Fey Ancestry, it says "magic can’t put you to sleep." However, I like the idea from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes that Elves can go to sleep (and dream) if they like, but they don't like how their subconscious takes control during that time and gives them dreams with complex...
