I'm going to meet my girlfriend's dad and one of the things she told me about him is he's a DnD player. I've never played a real DnD game in my life but I have played BG3. I'm wondering if the topic comes up, should I mention it or just act like I don't know at all.

So it turns out that WOTC have decided to shut down their international order site for physical books. This means that unless you are in North America or the EU, you can't get the Digital and Physical bundles and are told by them to buy them separately for almost twice the price instead.

"The International D&D Store serving North America and rest of the world (other than EU and UK) will shortly be closing in May 2026, as we transition to serving all customers in North America (USA and Canada) from the D&D Beyond Marketplace."

I've tried asking over on Beyond and all of us in Australia, Asia and the rest of the world are shit out of luck.

I've always been a physical book collector, but I like having the ability to use the encounter generator and Beyond's character sheet system, broken as they are, so I've been buying the bundles.

But now they want $40 USD for the privilege of letting me buy something twice.

I recently started DMing, and my first table is a group of 5. We all have a bunch of fun together, but one of the players is going to become mostly unavailable after Summer. The last time they tried being online while everyone else was in-person, it didn't go too well. Not only did the rest of the party not enjoy it, saying they felt like he wasn't really there, but that player forgot basically everything that happened in that session due to distractions in his irl space. If he's going to be online for every session post-Summer, I feel like he's not going to enjoy himself.

I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that the best thing for both him and the party is to let him go from the group. But I'm unsure of when to do it. We have a session coming up this week, and then seven-to-eight more sessions before this player would have to go, provided everyone can make it to all of them.

I was thinking of telling the player at the end of this upcoming session that I plan on letting him go, not only so that it doesn't weigh on me for so long, but also because I want to give his PC a nice sendoff, and I want him to help decide what the end of his character will be. Is that a normal thing to do?

This is my first time losing a player, so I could use some advice on the matter.

TLDR

Super new DM, and friend lacks basic DM skills and I don't want to play their unbalanced and unorganized homebrew campaign. How to politely tell them all the work they've spent homebrewing this campaign needs to be scrapped and they should start small and simple with a pre written adventure.

*****

I'll start by saying they are a wonderful person and I'm happy for them that they are excited to take on this role. This is their second time playing dnd and first time DMing. They jumped straight into a homebrewed, long form campaign. I cant keep playing it.

They dont know how to balance an encounter. Every encounter is set to TPK (unintentionally). They don't really like when things go off of the path they laid out for us. We found out that their partner, who is a player is ties to a huge prophecy saying that they will save the world. Like...what about us? Now the other players feel like side characters to them. We lost a PC to an unavoidable, unbalanced, inescapable, and unbeatable ambush of homebrewed monsters that felt like a random encounter. Our rolls dont seem to matter if they even ask us to roll. When we do the DCs they set are often ridiculously high. They ask for so much homework around our characters off table but I don't want to do that knowing in a blink of an eye that my character could be dead because they cant balance a fight and we cant avoid them. There's just so much going on. We've been in 3 major cities within the last 2 sessions. Every lead just takes us to a new lead and nothing in the last 4 months of playing has really lead to any answers or felt like it was furthering a plot.

Ugh, anyway. They are passionate and super into what they have planned but my wife and I are just so done. How do I tell them nicely that if they want to DM the group then they need to start small and start with pre-written adventures and build up their basic DMing skills first before diving into something so ambitious

Source Vienna is a 200-year-old High Elf born into a merchant family. Although she might have been more naturally drawn to music or dancing, her path changed when, around 25 years ago, her parents and newborn sister disappeared. With them gone, she took over the family’s merchant enterprise.

Originally conceived as a sorcerer, Vienna is now a paladin. She fights using a rapier.

This Gear Watch used to run supplies down the caldera in this pre squired days. They were apprenticed under a Knight of Reliard in the expedition to the Lands of Rust. The Spiral Sun shone bright on this one, as they returned with silver blade and a quick knighthood. Since they have spent many Chimes traveling as a bodyguard for the High Blades during times of unrest. Though small, the Gear Watch fight with clever tactics and determination unusual for being of their size. Enjoy my favorite if my creations.

The red zones are where meteors impacted Baldurs gate the reason you ask? The guard captain keeping a shield up over the city during the shower was on our hit list and we knew he be on the roof Wyrms rock that night. This happened before they got the shield back up. I honestly love the stuff this dm does it will really shift the setting.

Honestly no idea if our bosses, trans dimensional warlords, knew this would happened they seemed surprised when we told them we were planning to kill them during a meteor shower. I really think it will speed up the process of taking over the city aswell given it will be chaos and a lot of questions for us to capitalize on.

Was there any epic mic drop moment you heard a character from your table say in your session? I'm not talking about roasts or burns at someone's expense. I'm talking about lines that just hit hard when they were said by someone at your table in character
