They should have just made the books be their own digital market, and the tools be a flat fee, or a subscription model. (Or made them free but lololol)
Everyone wants competition until they want to blame the big companies. The fact is, Wikia (who owns dndbeyond now) has enticing services to lure people in to buy their product. And those services wouldn't exist at all with just the physical books. Dei isn't owed a damned thing by dndbeyond or WotC.
We're clearly not going to agree because I think it's an abhorent business practice to charge full price for a digital book you aren't even allowed to download. And it's not really *competition* when the digital services were outsourced.
Also, dndbeyond prices their content below the list price of the books. And on Cyber Monday, they are still about $10 less than the hardbacks. I definitely wouldn't pay for both. But claiming it is full book price for undownloadable content is patently false.
Also, you CAN download it and use it offline in the dndbeyond app, which is free.

Awesome! Let us know how it goes!
Monster Comics downtown, 6-9pm. We play there most weeks.
It went well. Peeps seemed engaged and seemed to have fun. I got positive feedback at least, and it was less terrifying once I got going than I thought it was going to be.
World's Largest Dungeon?
I assume you already know about the existence of dmsguild.com and are just trying to find a specific module. But if you don't, there you go.
That pretty much describes Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

Yeah, we've discussed this before in the forum bugs thread.
Also, when on mobile, broken imgur links can frequently be fixed by replacing the "m." in the URL with "www."

That's my experience with Tabletop Simulator as well; everyone's doing board games.

My plan is to make him a Swashbuckler/College of Swords Pirate. Panache from Swashbuckler combined with the flourishes from College of Swords so he can push and run around opponents one-on-one more easily.

Former Halforumite Tyson Hesse is playing some D&D:
I was able to get a spot on Will Nunes' commission list after several months and had him create my droid marshal that I've played in a few FFG SW games.
Honestly came out better than I ever thought it could.

Critical Role just played a one shot that featured a hacked version of the game my friend from elementary school made!

They didn't directly credit him on air or anything which kinda sucks but still! Sorry if this isn't the best thread for this but just wanted to brag about my bud!

Hoping for the forum's help with a short story.
I'm going to run a Ravenloft game in a few days and I want to open the campaign with a creepy fairy tale.
The idea I have for it is a standard 3 fools and a clever man scenario.
A stranger offers each of the men a wish, but the clever man knows this is a witch who will devour any man she grants a wish for.
The 3 fools wish away and the clever man either refrains to wish or makes a clever wish that would absolve him of being eaten.
In the end the clever man wakes up the next morning to find he is being carted away in an animal cage by the witch, his family near him either also caged or already prepared for cooking.
He asks why she would take him when there were three fools basically throwing themselves at her oven. In response she says "The foolish are plentiful and lack pleasant taste. But a clever man is a savory banquet."
It's essentially where I want things to go. Just a quick tale to set the dark mood of Ravenloft. I'll probably call it a Barovian Fairy Tale.
I'm just trying to think of some elements to add that will make the twist even more hopeless. Maybe something that the clever man does that really makes you think he has the witch beat, only to find out later that it only sealed his doom.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you guys post.

A possible twist could be that they wished "to be spared the same fate as the last three", not knowing that the witch was going to let the fools go and only eat them. Or perhaps the wish was something like "I wish I was back with my family" and that's what drags the family into this too, with the moral being something like "a man should face his fate alone, bravely, even if he's sure to die".
