    D&D General So, how much did/do you use psionics?

    I selected "used in every 1E campaign". However, to clarify, I gave everyone a chance to use psionics. I believe the rules were that you ha to roll a 20 on a d20 in order to have psionic abilities. (High INT PCs may have been able to roll a 19 or 20) During the entire 1E era, only one player in...

    D&D 5E Long time players and 5e’s success

    My take is a bit more cynical. They chose Greyhawk because it was already available. They didn't have to pay anyone to create anything new. Just add some polish and release an old product like it was brand new. As for us geezer gamers, we've got more disposable income than younger generation...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Time (and sales) will tell if the gender change matters to enough people. But how many people play with miniatures anymore? Seems like a shrinking market.

    How happy are you with your table/group?

    I like the guys in my group. We've been playing for about 8 years now. Sometimes the pace of the game gets slow, and one player spends way too much time roleplaying (IMO), which takes away from combat and exploration.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    It's a light read, and not his most creative work, but I don't think it was bad. However, if you don't like his writing style, then you probably shouldn't bother.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I just finished "Red Shirts" by Scalzi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirts_(novel) And recently began "Holly" by Stephen King

    D&D General How often do you complete a campaign as a player?

    I've completed every campaign that I've played...that wasn't cancelled early by the GM for one reason or another. (The GM cancelations have occurred three times over a period of approx. 40 years)

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    OK, late to the party, but I just watched the video. If Vecna wants to become the sole god and remake the multiverse to his liking, wouldn't every other god or god-like being go after him with all of their combined and coordinated power in order to stop him? Or to put it another way, why would...

    How has the miniatures business been doing, post-pandemic?

    I have no idea how the industry is doing, but I personally have not used or purchased minis in quite a while.

    WotC Hasbro Has Invested $1B In Video Games, Including A New D&D Game

    Like I said in another thread, consumers have very high expectations for games like this now. The likelihood of it being as successful as BG3 is low. Furthermore, with all of these developers, the game may be built "by committee". Having too many cooks often spoils the broth.

    D&D General Re-Loring Monsters

    The only monster I've re-lored was Dispater. I simply made him less paranoid and reclusive.

    D&D General D&D "influencers" need to actively acknowledge other games.

    Right, it rewards Youtubers for covering popular topics.

    D&D General D&D "influencers" need to actively acknowledge other games.

    The mention D&D most of the time because the YT algorithm essentially rewards them for it.

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: No More À La Carte Purchases But US Customers Can Buy Physical Books

    My guess is that they'll move the microtransactions to the VTT. Having the option to dress up your 3D token will be very appealing to many people.

    Test

    Also, another thing to consider, is that some people might take personal offense if they see their preferred choice get down voted. If you decide to implement this poll type, I would make sure that an individual's choices aren't public.

    The Ethics of Two Way Ignore

    Yes, I've seen this on other forums where a "senior" member starts a confrontation with a newbie, the newbie responds in kind, and gets banned or blocked despite the fact that it was the senior member who initiated the confrontation.

    D&D General Getting The Gold Out of the Dungeon

    We typically hand wave the issue with a bag of holding, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous. So, if hauling out a quantity of gold (or an over sized item) would break of not fit into a BoH, the players have to specify how they'll get the treasure out of the dungeon.

    D&D General How Do You Feel About Randomness?

    I'm in favor of randomness. It adds variety, and may create new conditions that you have to work through, and provide a challenge.

    D&D General How involved are your gods?

    After character creation, the gods have never come into play in any campaign I've been in or ran.

    D&D General If you were made president of D&D, what would you do?

    Yes they sell, but it seems like people have been dissatisfied with recent offerings. Scrapping the VTT would allow them to redirect funds for hiring more creatives. IMHO, after the "gee whiz" factor dies down, people will move to other VTT's that offer more flexibility, and cost less.
