I had no idea Astarion was a rogue so I made a Drow Rogue (Thief subclass) myself. I proceeded to shoplift everything from everyone. Sneak/hide is busted in the way that it's implemented. Sneak attack is incredibly easy to perform and repeat throughout an encounter. Furthermore, the additional...

Ya, Wyll. I know my post sounded 'racist' but the truth is I just never bothered inviting him and your post reminded me that I knew nothing of his story.

I have a standard Gtx 1080 running on a Predator monitor (27" 1440p 165mhz) and I plan to upgrade completely when the dust settles (probably early 2021). I genuinely don't understand all the hysteria with these cards. The cards we have available now run shit more than adequately.

I've played the EA for 80+ hours now and that dude has never been in my party.

I played the Demo. This game is definitely worth your time if you're a D&D fan.

That's a monstrous sum of gold, even for a noble. An average of half a million gold a year is absolutely ridiculous. The monthly cash flow is enough to fund an entire army of 20,000 (or more) while still allowing the noble to live a bourgeois lifestyle. Regardless, you have to give your players...

Well, those are a few of the specific magic items necessary to make that happen so it's less difficult for me to believe it was accurate. A lot of DMs don't quite understand how 5E is balanced. I dislike the inherent stinginess of 5E when it comes to magic items and other loot because it...

Well, I suppose the show gets a pass, but the "White people bad" narrative has gotten beyond tired.

I love these nostalgia threads. Partly, because I didn't have the foresight to hold on to the thousands of screenshots I took during my 'career.' but I wish I had kept in contact with more of the people I played with. So, I'm left with just a fading memory and all of your posts bring back so...

I haven't read any of the thread but wanted to post anyway. I guess I enjoyed S2, but can we just stop with the White Supremacy narrative in every other show? I legitimately almost stopped watching the series the moment they suggested Stormfront was a Nazi. For people that aren't delusional...

If it was 5E, I'd like to see the way that 34 was calculated. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible to get an AC that high at any level without some wacky homebrew rules or a misinterpretation of the official rules. In the bounded system of 5E, a 34 AC makes you impossible to hit for the...

5E isn't the only system where gold has caused DM's a headache; it's been a 'problem' for a long time. The DMsguild has a lot of files that offer fantastic material which solves many of the problems related to gold. For the life of me I can't remember the names of the files right now but I'll...

I'm excited about the game too, but I'm cautiously optimistic. The MMO industry over the last 5 years has made me terribly jaded.

It's probably odd, but the voice of that guy grates on me hard. I listen to some of his content, but I cringe the entire time.

Out of curiosity I let one of the camp scenes play out and that faggot literally sucked me dry (dead).

I think Larian said they're going to allow it though I'm not certain. I certainly hope so. There are some amazingly talented people that create jaw-dropping content when given the opportunity. The modding community kept games like NWN I/II relevant for a loooog time. I actually just finished...

I thoroughly enjoy combat, but it needs a purpose. If the combat in a game isn't the consequence of meaningful conflict or it doesn't further the narrative, it gets old fast. Pointless combat is one of the hallmark tells for players with relatively little D&D experience. Most experienced players...

It actually made me more excited about the finished game.

Maybe it comes off as pretentious, but I run a very solid game. Players rarely leave my group. When they do leave, it's almost always due to circumstances out of their control (moving, change in work schedule, spouse-aggro, etc) or I kick them (which generally only happens in the first few...

I definitely enjoyed the 60 hours I put in to it. There's not quite that much content (probably 30 hours if you're thorough), but I sniffed every single corner and attempted to run through every option for every scenario I found. The variable outcomes for some scenes are genuinely impressive. I...

That sounds like a lot of fun. One-shots with loose rules might be a good pressure release from the gritty, high-stakes campaigns I run. I'm definitely self-aware insofar that I can I be rather inflexible in the style of D&D I like to play/run. I am huge supporter of "the rule of cool," but I...

The idea of starting at a higher level is an interesting idea for a PC game, but I struggle with it at the table. For me, the narrative and character arcs are the most important part of D&D. Consequently, it's very difficult for me to connect with a character picked up 'mid-career.' It almost...

You're probably right about the locations. However, only "3" major locations likely doesn't tell the whole story. Even in the first act there are layers within layers at some of the locations. There will be no lack of content. From what I've read (and experienced to an extent in the EA) is that...

The level cap for BG3 was originally announced to be 10, but if memory serves it has been raised to 12 or 13. I doubt it'll get much higher than that, if at all. The meta-data for D&D campaigns shows that the overwhelming bulk of adventures are run in the 7-12 range. Ironically, I think higher...

BG3 won't be released for at least a year per the statement from Larian.

This. The game is obviously still very early in the development process. Lots of animations of completely broken, quests trees loop constantly, content tags aren't applied so that choices don't stick, etc. They wanted a working, playable build as early as possible so that the legion of...

As others have already pointed out, Larian has been very transparent that the Early Access is only a small portion of the game. Still, though the level is capped at 4, there is a lot to do. However, sdome of the content is arguably meant for a slightly higher level (there's a huge player power...

I've put almost 60 hours into the Early Access thus far and I absolutely love it. I have some major complaints, but overall I love the current game. Obviously, there are some VERY rough edges and a number of things are going to need numerous passes to get right, but it FEELS like D&D. I was...

I finally went back and finished this. I was closer to the end than I thought; only took me ~6 hours to finish the game. ~150 hours total in my first and only playthrough (without any DLC). This game is amazing (now that it's relatively bug-free) and I can't recommend it enough if you're an...

Haha, I was going to reply to his post with -- "Nice to meet you, Jonathan" -- to see if he panicked for a minute and was like "How'd you know my name?!?"

I just ordered the hard copy (as well as the pdf) of this -- Rise of the Drow: Collector's Edition - It's a little pricey, but I've held a copy in my hand and it's well-made. I'm really looking forward to weaving RotD in with Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden for a mega campaign.

I'm looking to trade for these two PDFs. I've gone on a spending spree at DMs guild recently and need to slow down. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/323832/Dragon-Relics?src=also_purchased https://www.dmsguild.com/product/317401/Gods-of-Faerun?src=also_purchased I have a massive collection...

Elves already have some wild-ass gender/sex related shit that allows some of them to physically transform themselves to male/female between rests. The truly 'blessed' elves can do it at will and the ability to change ones sex is revered in Elven culture. I don't know how long that's been in...

I really need to go back and finish this. I have like 140 hours played and I know I'm nearing the end, but I eventually lost patience as I was a day one purchaser and endured the ridiculously bug infested release. Despite all the issues, I refused to start over. Keeping my original game forced...

This game has me excited enough that I'm genuinely going to be salty if it falls on its face. I really love the art direction and flavor. I've always hoped for a cutting edge MMO that has a very 'D&D' look and feel. It's not too far from how my minds-eye envisions the Forgotten Realms. I'm...

Part of the problem is that none of my close friends live near me and I prefer real table top to VTT so I'm forced to get my players from ads in local shops. I always play in my house and I'm sure that element only heightens the disrespect I feel when some 22 year-old, blue-hair'd Bernie bro...

Ok, queen. Ya, we're all there to have fun, but too many snowflakes create problems. Here's a single type of example that's happened in my games -- I've had TWO players (two separate occasions) dramatically get up and leave the table because "they needed a break" from the scene. One even came...

I'm sure the feeling would be mutual if you're able to draw any reasonable conclusion that I'm "a piece of shit" because I have zero tolerance for whiny faggots that foam at the mouth about slave traders existing in Faerun. Not to mention the cults/societies that sometimes buy captives for...

It's..all......so............tiresome. I find the people whom are offended by 'issues' with race in a fantasy GAME insufferable. Let's be sure to avoid the remote possibility of an inference between orcs and Blacks, but we'll all sit around the table and cackle after hundreds of innocent...

Here's the rumor regarding the situation regarding Doc. Copy/pasted from elsewhere: *Doc was working on a platform deal w/Spotify (Google) *Ninja & Shroud were also in (post-mixer) *Twitch***s catch wind after mixer implodes (supposedly told by a streamer friend of Doc) *Twitch goes full...
