    lol rekt. I guess I have an addiction. You'd be shocked at how many gigs of TTRPG pdfs I have.

    I believe you. They look fantastic even in pictures/video, but I'm way too frugal to buy one and my tabletop campaign just wrapped up after 19 months. I was going to run another campaign for them, but realized I wanted some new blood in my seats. Despite spending a 4-5 hours together every week...

    I watch every episode of Wyrmlyfe, but I can't ever see myself purchasing one of their products. I completely understand that stuff crafted in the U.S. is considerably more expensive, but $7000+ for a gaming table and $100 for a set of 6 dice ain't for me, homey.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It could be. The way I see BTC is that it's standing on a knifes edge -- it's either going to blow up to insane values or completely crash and burn; falling back to its roots as a method to make purchases where other forms of payment aren't viable.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Heh, some days I feel like an absolute fool that I'm not on the train yet and other days I couldn't be more thankful that I'm not. However, I KNOW we're in for some financial fuckery over the next few years. I genuinely don't believe the buy and hold strategy in traditional markets (which have...

    Primarily, because I enjoy collecting hardbacks. Secondly, I'm hoping there might be some decent crafting rules to augment my own system. If there's 20 pages of usable information in the 300, I'll be ok with it. I incorporate a lot of homebrew rules, but a lot of the 'homebrew' is the result of...

    I just backed both of these, despite the fact I think they're both going to suck. I genuinely think the first ones success is partly due to pathetic, thirsty beta neckbeards and the fact that 5e has absolute shit for official crafting rules. We'll see how much of Hamund's shit gets stolen. I...

    Absolutely zero fucks given about those faggots. It's time to actually get a job instead of spending their weeks playing Modo/Arena while high on Adderall and whinging on Twitter about social injustice between matches. I hope they put their pronouns on their resumes and wonder why 99% of doors...

    I haven't read a single page of this thread, but I plan to depending on the response I get to my question -- I have 250k in liquid assets (that's not my entire portfolio, just what I can move around easily) and I'm finally ready to make the leap in to BitCoin....am I retarded? I'm not...

    There are a number of videos on Xptolevel3's channel that are entertaining, but I'd avoid his social media at all costs. It's stereotypical, Leftest mental-illness.

    These are worth a play through. The base game is probably the worst of the three, but for ISO-RPG junkies they'll scratch the itch.

    I did a little research and it looks like Luke has little-to-nothing to do with the new TSR. Ernie Gygax is heading it up, but I have very little knowledge of him so I can't comment on what that might mean. *Edit* I did a little more digging and it looks like Ernie is based. Maybe there's hope!

    The D&D thread

    I would love to see the TSR of old rise from the ashes, but it's not going to happen because Luke is a massive SJW faggot. You don't have to take my word for it-- there are plenty of podcasts where Gygax jr. makes it crystal clear that he intends to include real-world social activism in his...

    Fortunately, that's not the case. I found out yesterday the site will be back up. They're just doing some content updates and addressing a few leftover problems from when they swapped databases last year.

    I think the last few pages has inspired a lot of behind-the-scenes conversation (I know it has in my circle) and you're not the only one seriously considering taking a stab at Foundry.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I love BG:3, but I completely agree that when the Early Access first launched it felt a lot like DoS with a D&D mod slapped on it. However, the sheer amount of feedback Larian is getting has been listened to and the game has begun to evolve. It's slowly 'becoming' more D&D-like and I have faith...

    FG doesn't have any sound built-in right now, but it's on the short list. However, Syrinscape has a mod that allows you to run their entire sound library in conjunction with FGU. Apart from a few basic effects like rain, fog, snow, 'underwater blur,' and a couple others, animation doesn't...

    The D&D thread

    This is a genuine question (seriously, zero patronization) -- Do you really feel Foundry is that much better than FG? If so, why? Does Foundry have the same level of rules automation as FG? With the right extensions, there's very little that isn't auto-calculated and applied. Though the...

    To be perfectly frank, I didn't know Foundry had come quite that far. It looks quite good.

    The D&D thread

    No experience with any VTT but FGC and FGU, but I have looked at others and compared their functionality. It seems like FG has the most options and content integration, but with all of those features and under-the-hood automation comes a pretty steep learning curve with a considerable amount of...

    A few of us from FoH just started a brand new campaign on Fantasy Grounds Unity a few weeks ago (everyone is still level 1) and we have room for another. If you're interested, let me know or PM Seananigans for Discord access and we can talk about. We were playing on Thursdays, but given we plan...

    No single-weapon equivalent aside, GWM is a dumb feat. At my table, GWM is -PB to attack and 2x PB to damage. In other words, it's -2/+4 at low levels and -6/+12 at the top echelon.

    I'm sure there's an autist somewhere that has done exactly that with a spreadsheet, but generally speaking, no "DPS" isn't a thing. That said, min/maxing is still definitely common, but it's mostly ensuring that the benefits a character gets from ability scores, class, sub-class, race...

    Yep, I've downloaded so much stuff from the Trove it's ridiculous. I even have entire rulesets for games I've never played 'just in case.' And I 3rd, 5e tools being great.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Yep. I'm fully capable of building a system on my own, but the $150 premium it costs for someone else to deal with the headache is absolutely worth it. In my experience, it's only retard purists and poors that argue against pre-builts.

    I just started setting up Syrinscape for my Fantasy Grounds campaign and it's awesome, but wow....filtering through the massive library to find what you want is incredibly time-consuming. I also purchased a Voicemod license for those situations where you literally can't reproduce the sound of a...

    Your post made me stop and think for a few minutes because I watch A LOT of D&D related YouTube, constantly on the hunt for quality PDFs, and spend an embarrassing amount of money on physical books, but I very rarely utilize websites for content like RPGBOT. I guess I get what I need from...

    I needed a new PC so I didn't have to sell anything, but it does suck for those that just want a card. Fortunately, a lot of the boutiques use off-the-shelf parts so you're not stuck with a bunch of hard-to-sell proprietary parts. I know pre-built boutiques get a bad rap, but I've purchased 3...

    Does anyone have a Hardback copy of Matt Colville's Strongholds and Followers you'd sell to me? There's going to be another print run in the future, but I have no idea when and really don't care to wait. If you do have a copy, I'd pay a bit more than the cover price.

    WTF are you talking about? We need more of this -- Into the Mother Lands RPG. Truly a shame that comments are turned off; I wanted to offer my support. "A Brighter, Blacker Future." Anything that involves Tanya DePass should be nuked from orbit and then the remains shot back in to Space.

    Ya, I suppose everyone has their own preferences because environmental challenges can be a lot of fun. The way you describe them they sound incredibly tedious, but in practice that's not the way they play out. I've used them for a long time which is partly why the book appealed to me. However...

    Yep, the only reason Drizzt (and to a lesser degree, his father, Zaknafein) was interesting is the fact that he broke away from a fundamentally evil, masochistic, hedonistic society because it didn't align with his own morality. He also knew that exiling himself was very likely a death sentence...

    Shit like that is already all over stuff from some 3rd party publishers. The Uncaged series of adventures has trigger warnings for about 20 types of 'disturbing' content in each adventure outline. That series is also absolutely crammed with 3rd wave Feminism cancer. Can't say I'm surprised...
