    D&D 5E Differing opinions about 5e

    I'd be very interested in such a thread. Not DMed for years ('84/'85) and back then we just followed the books and modules. Now with the claimed flexibility of 5e I see I may have more work this time around. I've been trying to follow this thread, so I guess my first port of call is to really...

    D&D 5E Best of the 5e Forum

    Just noticed that the link from DMing/Prepping A Game/The Shadow in the Flame: A Workshop on Designing Dungeons, Monsters, and a Villain is wrong. It's missing the colon after the http.

    D&D 5E Newbie question re: surprise, initiative and ready action

    Would it be reasonable to assume they can't ready an action strictly speaking as they're not in combat yet? I'd say combat starts when the npc rounds the corner and is surprised. The pcs readying is simply setting up the surprise rather than getting an attack ready. Of course you could be...

    D&D 5E Cost of make a Saving Throw

    I think of STs as "twitch" reactions. You don't think about or plan them, they're instinctive and lightning quick. Example; one time my old boss was talking to me at her desk. She motioned with her arm and knocked a glass off the desk. Without missing a beat she grabbed the glass as it fell...

    D&D 5E Help me define Mother Night (CoS)

    For me, the night sky despite being beautiful is cold, lonely and remote. I like your idea of the crone hair. Perhaps any powers/bonuses granted result in a cold detachment to other players and NPCs. Maybe not in terms of Charisma as such characters could still be charismatic but maybe empathy...

    D&D (2024) Mike Mearls “…it’s now obvious how to live without Bonus Actions”' And 6th Edition When Players Ask

    I've only just got back into D&D after 20+ years away. I splurged on the 5e PHB, DMG and MM. By doing this I can GUARANTEE you there will be a new version within a year :-)

    D&D General Welcome Thread

    Hi there! I used to play D&D, CoC, Paranoia and others back in the 80s and am only now just getting back into it. I spent 20 years in the video games industry until redundancy led me back to study. I want to use role-playing D&D and others to kickstart some writing projects and see where that...
