This is so strange to me. I've seen an Acquisitions Inc live play years ago, and the players in it have really changed over the years. Lots of drama behind the scenes. Still, it will be fun to check in and see how they adapt this to Daggerheart.

That's odd. I'm not sure what the issue would be with the dread domain. Did I miss something and the word "dread" has new connotations? I'm not trying to start anything but I admit to not being in the know about that. I'm just doing an adventure in Barovia, and the DM is all over talking about...

That's really interesting. I wonder what the new campaign frames will be. Thanks much for sharing!

I'm playing a Bladesinger right now, but it's the 5.0 version. I looked at the changes (and Treantmonk has an excellent video where he goes over all of them) and it looks like the school got a little better. The one issue, as he points out, is does the level 14 feature allows you to piggyback...

I am playing this right now and I believe we are just heading into Death House. As a survey of popular settings and universes, it's been fine. It does feel very condensed but we've been having fun with it. Especially enjoyed the Eberon adventure because I've never played in that world before. I...

I love conversations here, but this is a good point: you will get a huge variety of opinions on what exactly a particular topic in RPGs is. I've been in the hobby long enough to know that the fundamentals of RPG topics have been widely debated for decades (I started seeing them in the 70s! when...

I guess if we're talking discussion of various 5X issues, I'd agree but ... I'm not even sure EnWorld has a regular build commentary. I'm still using 5E, so I don't keep up with what people are saying about builds at the moment, but I definitely looked at the best known folks on YouTube before...

That's the big question. I know I've done it both ways and I like how they are dropping three episodes at a time. And the first one at least had a lot of content, so I didn't feel like I didn't get much for it. I remember watching Ted Lasso after the first two seasons dropped. I watched them in...

Having now watched the first episode, I'm going to watch the entire series as fast as it comes out. Really good stuff.

Thanks for posting about this. I’m putting it on my watch list for the weekend. I have really high hopes for this.

I expect that the people in this thread have heard of it, but if not, I suggest looking at the Arcane Library for adventures that are easy to run and well laid out. If you're willing to look at more narrative games, the adventure/sourcebook for Grimwild is very different that the norm for...

What an interesting question! I am thinking it was Tunnels and Trolls, which came out in 1975 and I remember playing it very young. But I also remember that my library got a copy of Traveller, which came out in 1978. I think it was T&T but it gets back into the mists of time. Both games came...

I was talking with one of my friends that I ran the Quickstart adventure for at Gamehole Con and one of the surprising things they told me they liked was the foldable terrain and minis. The quickstart has some trees, rocks, and a wagon you are traveling in, in addition to all of the monsters and...

I admit I have limited experience with it at high level but I think some of the designs are off. We are playing 5.0 so I don't know if it's been addressed in 5.5. I have been a little surprised at how it has not been as lethal as I would have expected. I don't know if this was a deliberate...

I think you may need to tweak some game elements to get there. In the Vecna campaign, we did a combat where the entire group was poisoned (so all attacks at Disadvantage). I took the time to get rid of that on my character (and I asked the other players who to cast it on, no one else wanted it!)...

Totally. There is some discussion of making a "cozy" version of D&D. For me, I see a lot of that already in the game. Just as an example. In Shackled City we did a battle with a Dracolich. We prepared and buffed extensively for the encounter. One of the players made a bad choice for his...

I know this is going to sound strange considering how grumbly I can be about 5E (and moreso about 5.5E) but we haven't had much trouble. We were playing the Shackled City AP and converted from 3.5E to 5 after a near TPK and the game ran much better. Our other campaign is in the Vecna adventure...

I absolutely get where you're coming from (and Bae'zel too) and agree with the Ignore feature in that case. What I was trying to do was explain where some of it comes from. I have a daughter with Autism, so I see some of the common ways it can manifest itself sometimes, and I think people should...

It's something I've thought about a lot. In general I take the perspective that anyone who presents something on a forum is just speaking their own opinion, unless they specifically say otherwise. It has helped me a lot. Now there are people on here who can speak to different issues with...

I think this is a really good point. What's also important is that gaming has quite a number of neurodivergent folks (trust me, I gamed in the 70s and we didn't know what to call it then), so there can be issues where someone might completely innocently not understand how what they are saying...
