    Commentary thread for that “Describe your game in five words” thread.

    https://www.enworld.org/threads/describe-your-last-rpg-session-in-5-words.679952/post-9143107 Playing an Adventurer's League dungeoncraft adventure called SJ-DC-VMT-01 Waterdeep: Statue Heist. Very silly adventure, lots of fun. Four of the walking statues were turned into spelljamming ships and...

    D&D 5E DMs, how do you fudge?

    There's no option for "I love fudge as a dessert but don't fudge in other ways", despite having the option for not liking fudge as a dessert, so I voted other. ;)

    D&D 5E Where's the Dump?

    I hate dump stats, but with point buy they're almost unavoidable on certain classes. Given a choice I'd dump CHA, since I'm not that good at talking to npcs anyway, but if the class is based on it I'll dump STR or DEX instead. I almost never dump INT because I like having smart characters and...

    D&D 5E Levels 1-4 are "Training Wheels?"

    I find levels 1-2 very boring for most classes, with the exceptions being fighters at 2 and classes that get their subclass at 1-2 once they get it. I feel like they were intended to teach you the basics of the class without any extras to distract you, which is totally fine as long as I'm not...

    D&D 5E What Do You Need to Roll Up a New Character?

    I don't really need anything other than my phone for dndbeyond, which I guess counts as a computer, although I did vote for the player's handbook as well since that's the minimum I'd be satisfied with as far as allowed resources. With only basic rules I'd pretty much be locked into playing a...

    D&D General D&D ICONS OF THE REALMS PREMIUM FIGURES

    I've also bought a few of the premium minis. I tend to be a perfectionist, so maybe I'm being too critical of a $10 mini, but I think the paint is just good enough to be worth buying. The only real pre-colored alternative that I know of is Heroforge's color minis, however, and this is of course...

    D&D 5E What new linages do you want?

    I would absolutely love to get updated genasi, since the current ones are very lacking in features and flavor outside of physical description. Something like each one getting their respective elemental cantrip should be obvious, but with the current versions only water gets one. I'd love for...

    Thanksgiving Monsters 2021

    Someone at my local shop had his group fight the Turducken. I was in a different group unfortunately, but from what I overheard you dealt a certain amount of damage to it and it would split. Then you had to deal with the turkey, chicken, and duck.

    D&D General Your Characters' Families

    I primarily play Adventurer's League, where backgrounds don't come into play much, but I try to make my characters have a good reason for leading an adventurer's life. I would say about half to two thirds of my 70+ characters have living parents, but those that don't still have ties. My oldest...

    D&D 5E Why do you use Floating ASI's (other than power gaming)? [+]

    To be clear, when I said I didn't want to feel ineffective compared to the guy next to me I meant that unless most of the group has weaker stats as well the difference is very noticeable and quite annoying. It would be the same if we were using rolled stats and part of the group rolled really...

    D&D 5E Why do you use Floating ASI's (other than power gaming)? [+]

    One option the floating ASIs open for me is playing a MAD class such as monk, paladin, or barbarian without being forced to pick a race that has a boost in at least 1 of those stats. Say what you will about whether you can notice a 5% difference, a 10% difference is very noticeable. This is...

    D&D 5E Flying Races: Limiting Flight

    Whenever I see a thread on flying it seems to me that it's a clash of expectations rather than flight being the only problem. I agree on pretty much all of the points made by Erechel in the old part of the thread. In addition, I have played several flying characters and while they get some...

    Disappointing game, very loud store. Alternatively, Witchlight with very little roleplay.

    Funny character names

    Ok, I just realized I have over 70 characters and none of them have funny names. The closest I can get is a kobold named Civip, and that's just draconic for Frost. As for characters I've seen, I know I've run into a few but can't remember any names to save my life.

    D&D 5E A Collection of D&D Class Build Guides - Wiki Thread the Second

    I haven't seen one, and was wondering the same thing. Do we have the ability to make wiki threads again?

    D&D 5E PC races that a DM has specifically excluded from their campaign and why

    I've never DM'd, but as a player I'd be fine with a whitelist system with curated races. I'd also be okay with a blacklist, but only if there were actual reasons behind banning just those few races. I did go through a phase where I wanted to play weird race/class combinations, but now that I've...
