How do you handle the loneliness of being the Dungeon Master in a Dungeons & Dragons group?

These people want your hobby destroyed, all social interaction banned, every module played exactly to ths script and will try to make any deviation impossible.

These companies should just release a dvd of how the module is 'intended' to be played.

@BrianRenninger6 @LL_929 And the worst thing: it can't even do that properly

[Bosman Bos @Border_Baronies]

@BrianRenninger6 @LL_929 It's *a* problem, but all other problems come from the root cause: wotsee made DnD into a game based entirely around scripted spectacle fights.

@orbatmapper Implementing APP-6 Delta is already insanely impressive. I've seen actual C2 products that struggle with this.

APP-6D also allows you to make frankly ridiculous combinations such as a subterranean airmobile artillery unit...

@archon @crescendogames9 "I fucking know what I mean. Just look into my brain and do what I've thought up" would be so nice

@Gingerblast What is an established setting but someone's homebrew that was published

Party: "Aa periapt of protection from poison? WTF we never run into poison who cares"
1 hour later
"Yeah I open the door"
"You feel a needle press into your palm. Save vs poison"

@YoDanno THAC0 is for fake grognards. Real chads use to hit matrices

I’ve completed the opening lines of the Chudyssey. I’ll provide a detailed breakdown of my choices below.

But DnD *is* a war game...

[Robert Throckmorton @redstudioinvest]

@_Autarch_ Natural language for RPGs. Started playing D&D in 79. Technical language is great for war games. Having a folksy point of view helped make D&D great.

I hate it when the designers of *5e* say things about game design which are entirely correct.

Too much of a "do as I say, not as I do"

[Mike Mearls @mikemearls]

When you design a TTRPG, you are really designing a scenario structure that you expect someone else to execute on. That someone could be a designer or a GM. In either case, if they can't easily create scenarios your game has failed.

This feels like your 15 years alcoholic uncle promising for the fifth time he's going to turn his life around.
You hope it's true but you know that you're just setting yourself up to be disappointed

White Wolf is back. A new Vampire: The Masquerade project is in active development, in-house, at White Wolf!

Today is us saying: your words matter to us, and we're building something that reflects it.

Gen Con 2026 is where we show you what that means.

@AlchemicRaker @movieguyjon All you need to know of 2e is that while gold for exp is named as an option, it isn't recommended because it means giving out too much loot
