    D&D's Obelisk Plotline Was Supposed to Be Resolved in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    Exactly. You don't need world shaking stakes for high level adventures.

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

    The RPG space seems openly hostile to GenAI.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Sure, but that is beside the point of the comment I was replying to.

    D&D's Obelisk Plotline Was Supposed to Be Resolved in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    They are also insane, by definition, so stories like them seeking out a reincarnated lover or kidnapping a priest to resurrect a lost confidant, or whatever.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I don't understand how these things are at odds. You can absolutely craft a linear adventure specifically for the players at the table.

    D&D's Obelisk Plotline Was Supposed to Be Resolved in Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    I think lichdom is less about power and more about immortality. I would think most liches stay hidden in their fortresses or demiplanes, conducting unspeakable magical experiments, and occassionally sending minions out to find subjects for said experiments.

    Difficulty Numbers: Scaling, or Static?

    I was operating under the assumption that it was brought up in a TTRPG thread in order to discuss the practice in TTRPGs. I can't think of a reason otherwise to bring it up. But whatever. Carry on.

    I think he got Stranger Thingsed into being Generic BBEG, rather than his role as God of Secrets.

    Then why are we talking about it?

    Oh "Gem X." I like it. It makes me feel fancy.

    Trailer Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026

    Such a strange take to me. I don't know how many "can you believe these kids?" stories I have told over the course of my kids' lives, but it is a lot. This is perfectly normal behavior, for everyone involved.

    He guys, I found the millenial!

    Difficulty Numbers: Scaling, or Static?

    No, it does. It means putting the challenge you created in front of the PCs regardless of what they choose to do. As I said, this isn't exactly the same but it is functionally the same: the players' choices about when to engage with that thing are irrelevant. Or we could just be snarky I guess.

    People go to work and do a good job when they don't want to be there all the time, including teenagers.

    Do you have kids of your own?

    My 22 year old is out of college and living on his own, and my 19 year old is living at home going to college.

    Difficulty Numbers: Scaling, or Static?

    I did not say "surprising". I was not suggesting the zones be blatantly labeled (although philosophically speaking, I don't have a problem with that) but there are ways to give the players a good sense of what tier given areas might tend toward. But if the game is just the GM feeding missions...

    Is it just me or are more and more mid and low tier KSers using AI art unapologetically these days?

    Demiplane does D&D too, but you would have to re-buy everything.

    D&D General What Does Your Cosmology Look Like?

    I don't actually care where the gods live, or if they are even real. In fact, I would say that planar adventures are more fun if they don't involve the gods.
