I'm now listening to both campaigns. I think Jester is my fav of the new set of characters.
It's a real burden being right so often.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Jester is fantastic and has inspired some truly adorable fan art.
I've been reading the Critical Role comic and it's been making me miss Tiberius. I realize there were some behind the scenes issues with Orion (in addition to some at the table) but Tibs was a fun character and Matt Colville has done an excellent job of replicating his personality on the page.

So tonight my 10th level party will be facing off against an 11th level stone giant Transmuter that I've made a legendary creature.
For all the complaints about how hard it is to die in 5E, there are definite exceptions, such as casting disintegrate at mid-level characters. Only the party tanks won't be instantly obliterated if they fail their save.

No disintegrations. (Well, of PCs anyway. Their dragon friend, however, didn't make it.)

So despite not being a fan of MMOs I got bored the last week and decided to give Neverwinter a try on my XBone. It's not bad. I find it odd that they had to drastically change the most videogame-like version of D&D (4E) but I'm enjoying it far more than my attempt at playing WoW ages ago.
I will say I was disappointed that the Paladin didn't feel sufficiently paladin-like but I'm having fun playing a rogue. (In PNP my choices are generally Paladin>Rogue>Wizard>Whatever I haven't played in a while or the group needs.)

What are folks using for online D&D and the like these days. I've been using Roll20 for years and am heavily invested in it from a time and money standpoint but it's been aggravating me lately. Lots of lag and things glitching out for the last few months and I'm reaching the point that I might move to something else if I can find something that's very reliable.

Tabletop Simulator is what my group uses, though we do our own dice rolls and have our own character sheets that we maintain.

Does Tabletop Simulator not have a dice roller or do you not like it?

It does have a dice roller, and a couple of people do use it, but think most of us are tactile throw-backs who like the feel of dice in our hands. Me, I want my fate in my own hands, not in a randomization table.

So my buddy is running a Curse of Strahd have for us (which is great because none of is played the original Castle Ravenloft adventure) and we're having a blast. We (foolishly) took on a nest of vampire spawn but managed to prevail through good tactics and good luck. Plus my Knight of Solamnia (we each made a character from a different world that got pulled in by The Mists) chucked one of them out a second-story window into full daylight. So that was a fun moment of cinematic awesomeness.
