Game design, etc. Created D&D 5th edition, working on a streamlined revision of the game. Blame/praise/ignore me as you see fit.

I am more than happy to answer questions about 5e rules and design. Just hit me up, and I will quote your question to share answers. In addition, if you need an earlier answer clarified or were confused by any answer I offered BITD, let me know.

Random vibe check. Over the next few months, how do you see your TTRPG spending changing?.

Good TTRPG design acknowledges that there are two types of gamers. The 1% who actually read the rules and the 99% who rely on vibes. If you create rules with this understanding, you can make life much, much easier for that 1%:.

Treantmonk played a huge role in bringing Cthulhu by Torchlight to life. His insights into 5e and the balance between classes and monsters were amazing. He posted a video where we talk about the subclasses in the product and what makes them unique.

Huh. I guess this is what happens when a guy who co-designed an edition of D&D ends up working with the company that publishes Call of Cthulhu.

I hear stories about groups that refuse to play games other than D&D. Have you played with such a group?.

I've always loved ettins - I have the Ral Partha AD&D miniature in my painting queue - but felt that they didn't feel distinct from other giants. On Patreon, I wrote up an alternate 5e stat block and provided lore that I hope makes them feel distinct.

Literally though that Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was in the new Jurassic Park movie. Am I delusional or does he look like the twin of the guy in the glasses?.

Me: Grok, explain how initiative works in AD&D 1e. Grok: Did you know that many AD&D DMs house rule initiative?. Even AI can’t keep up with Gygax.

Dungeon tip - do the characters take a long rest to recover hit points and spells? So does the dungeon. In my Wednesday game, the PCs left for a week to rest and resupply. the goblins barricaded an entrance, took over an emptied part of the dungeon, and set up traps for.

Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur does this, and I think it helps explain why so many 5e players have jumped into Shadowdark. The threat of that crazed minotaur berserker showing up and turning the game into a slasher film puts everyone on edge in a good way.
