@ChrisPerkinsDnD storm kings thunder, the 6 npcs. Do you recommend handing them out straight away or once the players encounter them?
— Betty Le Bon (@BettyLeBon) September 13, 2016
I'd wait until the threat presents itself, then hand them all out. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/1vNDJ0h1PF

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Are you disallowed from seeing homemade #dnd content? I've got a sorcerous origin I'd love some feedback on for #SKT
— Kyle C (@WorldlyTutor) September 19, 2016
I can't accept or review unsolicited game content that hasn't been published. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/D6Pzz1QuPZ

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How do we get it solicited for review?
— Dave Gregoire (@Slit518) September 19, 2016
Solicited means we ask for it. In other words, the process is initiated by us. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/3JGKuwecEZ

@drakus1111 @JeremyECrawford @ChrisPerkinsDnDs there a reason Stone Giants are the only True Giants with Darkvision? only ones who spend real time underground

@ChrisPerkinsDnD In ch. 1 of SKT, if the PCs enlist the guards & Zhents against the orcs, how would you keep track of all the attacks/hp?
— Fred Love (@FredTheFolkster) September 27, 2016
I might use the mob rules in the DMG. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/GhqTi3wgzB

@TheEdVerse @ChrisPerkinsDnD Does the Cult of the Dragon returns to focus on creating dracoliches again after the Tyranny of Dragons events?
— Leonardo Raele (@LeonardoRaele) September 23, 2016
They show up again in Storm King's Thunder as mooks beholden to an evil dragon. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/XpLjljTbZe

@marley_von @ChrisPerkinsDnD maybe @TheEdVerse could help you?

@TheEdVerse @Benelio @ChrisPerkinsDnD sage advice. Will do and thank you again.

@marley_von @Benelio @ChrisPerkinsDnD A pleasure! Please, say the names aloud a time or two, and imagine what they could be mangled into…

One reason I tend not to worry about “metagaming” in D&D is that characters are experts and specialists in their world. The players aren’t.
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
@Zhern75 @Fandomlifeyeah, I usually ask them if that is really what they want to do. “Do you really want to do that?” should be first internalized as, “Have I given this player enough info?”
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
In D&D, for example, I find it wrong when a DM ‘punishes a player’ for casting a useless spell. The character would know, right?Sometimes, for sure. Just like every peasant knows you better have fire or acid for trolls. @Fandomlife
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
the table chatter section of mouse guard is some of my favorite game text. It explicitly legitimizes that approachAnd the wizard’s player probably lacking a 170 IQ legitimizes that approach. 😉 @roninkakuhito
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
I consider metagaming not only not a problem, but something you should be doing constantly. We’re doing it now in one sense of the word, but not in accord with the usual meaning disgruntled DMs use. 😉 @tinstargames
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
The problem is the thing that annoys DMs isn’t really metagaming, and it’s problematic they’re called the same thing Semantics aside, I’d say the problem is rarely actually a problem. 😉 @tinstargames
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
@Fandomlife @tinstargamesNo it can be a big problem. When Metagaming = ANY thinking outside the characters head. Some people think that. I think that sort of thinking is largely malarkey, a storm in a teacup, a refusal of the nature of the game.
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
@Fandomlife @tinstargamesIt may be different now. Time moves on. Was big with some ‘returned’ D&D players for 3E. While ago 🙂 I understand the desire for simulation. It’s just that true simulation is currently impossible.
— Chris Sims (@ChrisSSims) August 21, 2016
@Fandomlife Like we agreed, though, players working together is a fine simulation of the expertise and capabilities of the characters. 🙂

@ChrisPerkinsDnD would Legacy of the Shard be a good lead up to Storm King's Thunder?
— The Dwarf Cleric (@dwarfcleric) August 30, 2016
Yes. I recommend jumping from that to the Bryn Shander encounter in chapter 2 of Storm King's Thunder. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/fH8QPWHm6w
