    Level Up (A5E) Reflections on Exploration rules in play

    Hello, Before I begin, here is the TL;DR: We have played 9 sessions with the A5E exploration rules (regions, journeys, challenges) fully implemented. Regions add shape & character to exploration, inspire meaningful player choices. A+. Journey rules have proven awkward to implement thus far and...

    Hi Morrus et al: Question. I read an article recently that there is a global paper shortage and Europe particularly has been hit hard. Has your publisher given any indication of a potential delay in printing or rise in costs as a result? Thanks! Source: Shortage of paper pushes up costs for...

    Can a Barbarian/Bard inspire courage while raging?

    I started this thread in ***2003***, and it hadn't seen a post in it until today, fifteen years later. Amazing! :lol:

    Sagiro's Story Hour: Now That It's Over

    Hello, I'm currently plodding my way through my hard copy of The Ventifact Colossus (slow reader), and enjoying it as an embellished retelling of the story hour I only partially read years ago. I'm fascinated as to what Mrs. Horn's character class might have been, whether she was a PC or an...

    [Sensitive question] Is there cultural appropriation in gaming?

    Hi all, The goal of the following question is to clarify, in the context of tabletop roleplaying, what may or may not be cultural appropriation. I am particularly interested in the point of view of nonwhite gamers. Over the past few years, people of color have made it known via social media...

    D&D 5E Weak Saving Throws

    One way for a high-level wizard to shore up a weakness is, as you say, with a custom magic item. Another is for the wizard to take the spell foresight, which gives him Advantage on all D20 rolls for 24 hours.

    D&D 5E Clerics in 5e - how do they play? The mega-buffs are gone...

    I have DMed a few clerics and I'm playing a multiclass cleric/monk right now. Short answer: they're fun. Light clerics are basically wizards that can heal (fireball, baby). Life clerics can stand in melee and dish out powerful healing--the best heals of any specialization, and heavy armor...

    San Diego, CA - 5E DM LFG - play 1/mo. weekends

We settled on a Ravenloft-inspired 5E game, set in the aforementioned homebrew, that began at 1st level. Here is the campaign map circa the end of the session---it indicates areas the players...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    I don't use published adventures at all, so this news is a mixed blessing. It's a bummer, since it sounds like they won't be publishing much that I would buy. On the other hand, I was always annoyed by rules bloat in previous editions, and he's explicitly saying they won't have that. It's...

    D&D 5E Mage Hand and the No Good, Low Down, Dirty Rotten Arcane Trickster

    It's not game-breaking to pick locks or disarm traps at range. Let the player characters be cool. That said, you could rule situationally that he has disadvantage. He's been blinded. The room is full of smoke. Carnivorous cockroaches are eating him alive while he's trying to escape a locked...
