    Monster - Harmonican

    It's a monster part of my own campaign. To describe what I envisioned it, it has a stout body with tentacles that whirl in a sound frenzy.

    All these great ideas... How do I start?

    It's simple. Your party usually solves the problems there. It could happen at any moment and/or you could be hired to do so. This is part of 'avoiding your common set-up'. We have to believe whatever you write about if you write anything at all. To do your best avoiding the typical old...

    Are minions dangerous enough?

    Minions are simply an idea to make the battle more challenging and/or interesting. Multiples coming every turn can be a problem. Though I've never died from a trap because those are only a minor inconvenience.

    All these great ideas... How do I start?

    Why kid yourself? DnD is all about overcoming the monster.

    Need help judging encounter challenges

    Everyone has their idea. How experienced of a player did you want it from or did you want advice in general. I do keep hazards on my maps. The enemy is immue to the traps like in many adventures. Also, some monsters tend to explode when they die. I created a monster that can punish...

    Do YOU nod to "realism"?

    -Avoiding your common set-up. While I won't get into a huge debate about philosophy and/or overstate the idea. How many times have you used the power? How long has it been around? All these topics attempt to justify certain styles and ideas over others. Some people are also bias towards...

    4th Level Monster Conversions

    Ueww. I was wondering if we could post our own monsters here.

    New character help

    Then you want to avoid things overplayed ie: fighter, rogue, wizard. I play no original/essential characters. Assassin Striker, Bard Leader, Invoker Controller, and a Goliath Earth Warden. I like two saving throws per turn. But I should have checked the Ardent. It has an attack that...

    [KOTS] Help me come up with a first encounter that doesn't suck

    Glad it went well from what you posted. My first two sessions as a DM went fairly good too. The PC's made it to the end without getting lost in design mechanics. I like this low/high level approach. In 4.0 most characters have high AC and Ref. So I created characters that hit fortitude and...

    Do YOU nod to "realism"?

    Note: I had a discussion about this here too I think. Nevertheless, these points should help shed light on what you want out of 4E if not fiction in general. May I ask why you play DnD? Fiction's Upper Limit Overall, what are the general limitations to fiction? There are certain situations...

    Please help with Chess puzzle

    Like I asked. How weird is the idea? You give me the impression you want to patronize your players.

    How do you usually play your character(s)?

    It's fiction so it depends on the game's set-up. It also depends on how thorough you are. I do go as far as checking stats and things.

    Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP)

    I am a total power gamer. Final Fantasy Tactics Single Segment - YouTube How new are you to gaming? If you want to enjoy the mystery of the story try to avoid looking ahead imo. When I first started gaming I barely had access to the net as compared to this topic today.

    Abstract Ideas

    I'd like to know how weird it is to you? However you feel about it you're going to have to trust someone's judgment to play. At least once. That someone out there had to make a decision even when we'll never know if it was correct.

    D&D 5E What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    How do we know if that's strong or weak? Good or bad? Fact or fiction? There is a topic for it.

    Breaking down the wall: adding conditions to bypass enemies.

    Someone who can help you is Eladrin Teleport. Otherwise you might view DnD as not a bypassing game. What you really want is more maneuverability. But I have played encounters where the room is simply too small for battle. It's not your fault as a player but a design flaw with the creators...

    D&D 5E What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    Extremes +/- study every detail about DnD and over prepare for the session or find another game. Do the normal and play it a couple times to see if you'll like it more one day.

    Why not

    Did anyone force you to comply with the rules of any game? I'd like to know why you've chosen to play DnD when there might be ideas that are different than yours? I suppose this wasn't worth proposing since we already know why. That even if we knew the outcome of the session we play to...
