We have a couple of threads about best group size or maximum number of players, but I'm interested specifically in people's experiences with groups of 3, just because it always seemed unfeasible to me to play with so few PCs. Now, it seems like we're going to be doing just that. I think the...

Hi everyone, This Saturday, I'm going to play 5e for the first time since the playtest. We're just going to do a one-shot, but if we all have fun, we may play a campaign with different characters. My fiancee is going to play a Barbarian, and I'm going to do a Battlemaster Fighter. My...

How have you folks gotten your players prepared for an upcoming campaign at a sort of "session 0" meeting? As a player, what have you found most helpful at these sorts of meetings? My gaming group just wrapped up a D&D campaign, and we're going to start playing this indie RPG with me as the GM...

I hate to ask for clarifications on specific powers, but we just hit Paragon tier and (likely) have the fight of our lives coming up tomorrow, so I've decided to stop scratching my head over this new power and ask for clarification. Here's the pertinent info: Landslide Strike Encounter...

The Speak With Dead ritual states, "You ask the corpse of an intelligent creature questions and receive answers." Is the corpse compelled to answer your questions directly to the best of its knowledge? I had been thinking not, until I reread the ritual text and saw that 1) it says nothing about...

One of our players is in Europe for 4 months, and our DM suggested we try keeping her included using Skype. I've done a fair bit of looking around for ideas on how to make this happen best, but I'm hoping to get some ideas about what sorts of issues/problems to expect. (This is D&D 4e, btw)...

When I try posting a new thread or comment in one of the other subforums, I get an error page saying that I don't have permission. When I signed up, I didn't get a welcome email or any sort of confirmation (I checked my spam folders, and I even checked all of my email accounts just to be sure)...
