I think "Roll initiative" or even "You must gather your party before venturing forth" might be more well known.

"Fool! I'd like to see you quit my MIND MAZE! Muahahahah!" Of course then you need the ability to actually trap him in a psionic maze. So work on that first. In all seriousness, for me D&D is just as much about hanging out with your friends as it is playing. Maybe he can still come over while...

While I don't work with WotC or PRH, by every definition these are what we in the publishing industry call "licensed tie-in novels." It's no different than like, IDK, that netflix movie Damsel having a tie-in novelization. They used to be a bigger part of the publishing industry, I worked for a...

The Believes of the Source read the myth of Sisyphus and put a lot of effort on "We MUST imagine Sisyphus Happy"

Those are published by Penguin Random House, not WotC. WotC no longer publishes novels, they have a license with PRH

RAW, the half-elf race from the 2014 PHB or the SCAG works, with the notable and unfortunate exception of it losing its total of +4 ability bonuses and needing to use the same +3 as every 2024 background. Effectively, it is a gimped human who took skilled at first level, and swapped out the...

Unless the rules specify a part of anatomy that an animal doesn't have, they can use the item. Air bud logic: "ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball" If the text of a magic ring specifies a finger, for example, only monkeys can use it. If a boot specifies that it goes on a foot, snakes...

Even if cannibalism,.murder and slavery aren't written about, there's nothing stopping a PC from engaging in them. I've played more than one adventure with characters who just said "hey let's eat these goblins instead of buying rations" .

Wait I'm sorry- I haven't read this whole thread, but are we talking about Evermore, the failed LARP theme park covered by Jenny Nicholson?

The obvious answer is to summon a single swarm NPC that can get bigger over time. Start with a large swarm of skeletons and scale up to a gargantuan one to represent an army.

Yeah, the optimal way to do it is just say "Here is the Tattooed Monk spell list. Pick a number of spells equal to your proficiency bonus. The spells appear on your body in the form of evocative tattoos; the fireball spell may take the form of a red dragon, or alter self may be a werewolf mid-shift"

Rather than saying "you tattoo a rabbit on your body that lets you cast the jump spell", why not just say "You tattoo magical designs on your skin that constitute a spell", in the same way writing letters in a spellbook gives wizards spells. Like, ok, maybe your image of the tattooed monk is...

Ok so last time I checked on these guys they were neonazis who had "n-word" as a playable race with an intelligence modifier, but now they're talking about some sort of utopian future where white people don't exist? What in the name of MAR Barker is going on here?
