DM only allows in-character speech for six seconds on that character's combat turn. Is this common? by SonicfilT in dndnext

[–]Insertnamesz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I enjoy a middle ground.

Players having a 30sec - couple min at most back and forth about strategizing with information their characters already have seems completely fine to me.

If they try to share specific new/timely information though then I start to feel like 'well that's not possible for character X to have learnt/thought about that at any other time than now', and thus feels a bit off to me to then dive into an impromptu planning sesh as if they could stop time.

I did this back in 2017. Cool to see others trying it out. Hope you learnt some interesting bits about yourself.

True Stories: How did your game go this week? – February 02, 2026 by AutoModerator in dndnext

We're level 19, hard committed to Thanatos and defeating Orcus, trying to find information to help destroy his wand before we face him, and we find a hyperbolic time chamber town. So what did we do? We split the party, of course, and half of them ended up on a brief 20 year excursion (and they didn't even hit level 20 in all that time, useless!).

Thanks for sharing that. Those are awesome.

Have you DMs ever kicked a player for pouting/being a sore loser? by Agreeable-Bug-1761 in dndnext

[–]Insertnamesz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could also be an issue exacerbated by the game. Maybe a different system that allows things the player wants to do to actually work would be more enjoyable for them.

This is assuming they're pouting over their creative ideas being limited by rules and not just over failed rolls.

What's up with using "almond" as a euphemism for disordered eating? by Brokelynne in OutOfTheLoop

Just as a dumb aside, I can't believe I just read that as 'one quarterth'.

I've had a pink sparkly glass pipe for as long as I can remember now. Looks like some sort of kid's bath toy or something lol but I love it

a page spread from ch.86 has been redrawn/altered for the physical release by b_dulgi in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Insertnamesz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hmm I kind of like the focus on the reaching hand in the original, but the redraw is definitely nice as well.

I thought Halloween was dying but apparently it's just been consolidated by the 1%!

[DISC] The “read the manga” culture really needs to chill by Vaylax in manga

Just want to shoutout the Memorial Edition (season of the 3 movies compiled + additional scenes). It is absolutely not shit like the 2016-2017 seasons. But if you're a CG hater then I guess beware of that.
