New D&D Starter Set Review is finally up! And it SLAPS! 😅
I was surprised with this one given WOTC's recent track record.
As someone who had zero physical props before buying this, I think it actually worked out pretty well!
Also...who's BAT MAN?🏏 #DnD #5e #ttrpg #cosplay youtu.be/opOBx_sDP00

New Starter Set SLAPS. But can D&D work w/out the Big 3? (DMG, PHB, MM)

Me too! Too many cool new TTRPGs and do little campaign planning time, haha. I am running a few one shots with Nimble but I think after that I'll be craving something crunchy.

Vicarious Ventures (TTRPG Show) @vicariousventures.bsky.social · Sep 9

Have you tried Draw Steel or checked it out? I hear it's kinda like what 5e could have been after 4e got too crunchy.

No HP, less math, & lots of tactical targeting and brutal wounds that make every attack matter.
See what makes TFE's #ttrpg combat unique + how you can adapt it to your table, OR you can download the free demo and Beta rules now. The Kickstarter is live now🤠YEE TO THE HAW!

That's right, expect them to do the exact opposite of your beautifully scripted and painfully obvious solution to the problem you created. Even if it's something the character might do the player might get in their own head about it or a million other things, even how other PCs perceive them etc

Easy just make it a Cornish Rex ancestry...with an EVIL alignment. Mwaahahahahaa 🤙

Real Life Hunter's Mark 😆. Rangers ready for their glow up 🌟🤩 (reflective spray for those who don't have Darkvision on the roads). I wonder what other fantasy / sci-fi twists we could add to the #DnD beast stat blocks to make em more interesting, especially for #5e rangers?

Oh I remember the Untold Tales playlist! It got buried in the Watch Later list, I'll definitely check those out as well as the Patreon stuff. Been a while since I've gotten to binge some DD, I think I'm due for one, thanks man! 🤙

Vicarious Ventures (TTRPG Show) @vicariousventures.bsky.social · Aug 12

Wow, KaiInRealLife; In REAL LIFE?! Woulda be awesome. I tried to get a spot - maybe next year. Obviously we've seen Monty run DoD from its early iterations to the fleshed out full product, but I'd be curious to see how you ran it. There aren't any Kelly DM'ing vids on your YT playlists are there? 🧐
