I just need the rules, preferably in bullet-point format, not complete sentences, because I want to be able to find a specific rule when I need it. Fewer pages and clear presentation means less time spent referencing. So, I like a core rulebook that's as small as possible. A big chonky book is...

When DMing, I'm going to use whatever image I can find of a ___ dragon that suits me in the moment. Maybe I'll tinker with the statblock and powers. So, I'm happy to let artists design whatever they want and fill a book with their cool art.

Hags really are the worst.

I've been running a character using WOTC's 2024 playtest fighter, and the TotV fighter looks better. Things are just a little clearer, fit together a little better, and the features just make sense. The things fighters get at 1st level are things you just need to be good at if you're going to...

Having watched all of nuWho (some of it many times), and now watching from the very beginning (I'm just starting series 5), I found both of these episodes thoroughly entertaining, moving, and intriguing. Loved it.

One of my favorite things about DW is how agile it is at switching from silly and funny to serious and horrific. I think it's one of the things that kids like about it - kids like to be scared, but they don't like a sustained scare.

I've backed Hypersleep Terminated, because it fills a sub-genre I've wanted to play/run, and because I don't have to really run it! I'll probably be backing Nibblemancy, because it looks like a fun addition, and because of the creator's strong "no AI imagery" statement.

This will take more time to digest than I have right now, but I like the basic ideas. Ultimately, if ti works in play for you then it probably will for others, too. I think there's better ways to present and organize things, but again I can't get into the weeds about it right now.

Night of 1s and 20s.

Trying to whittle down a Cortex Prime variant for sword & sorcery that will be easy to run and teach/introduce to my group. (Before anyone suggests Cortex Prime S&S rules that can be found on the internet, I'm confident I have properly scoured the internet and found them all - unless there's...

The role plays the playing role in the role-playing game.

Very interesting, and thanks for the thread. I don't know Daggerheart yet, but none of these is how I would define a narrative game. For me, a narrative game is one whose mechanics focus on drama. The technical details of skills, powers, spells, punching, stabbing, etc. might have some bearing...

Four arms is not enough.

Like others, I could not make it through the first book, but liked a lot of the ideas. I tried watching the Chinese adaptation, and although it seems to have a very nice budget I did not find it engaging. We watched the first 2-3 episodes of the Netflix adaptation, and...I doubt we'll watch...

So if you buy nothing, probably the 2024 basics and nothing else. Makes sense.

From series 1-6, 97 of the 253 episodes are partially or completely missing. Audio for most or all of those exists, and then there are stills and snipets of video. Most of that is due to A/V nerds at the time, recording what they could from live tv. Those stills are often photos taken by a...

Alternating between About Time 1 and About Time 2 - these are in-depth, story arc by story arc analyses of Doctor Who. Volume 1 covers series 1-3 (1963-1966), and 2 covers 4-6 (1966-1969). I'm currently watching series 4 - I'm committed to making my way through from the very beginning. God help...

One thing I'm really curious about - that will affect whether my table adopts 2024 D&D - is what versions of the D&D 5E rules will DDB make available to basic-level memberships. 2014 and 2024, or just 2024?

Maybe we need a poll about who does and doesn't, because I really dislike being on class-progression autopilot after 3rd level.

"Should have" is stronger than I'd like to prescribe, but evolutions that I would have liked to see include: 1. Get rid of the confusing, multiple uses and meanings of "levels". If you're going to keep 20 levels, distribute the 9 levels of spells into 20. You get 5th level spells at 5th level...
