    D&D 5E (2014) 14th level cleric

    You can now destroy wights and mummies which are cr3. Wights have that pesky HP drain that does not heal which comes in handy if you want to protect your allies. I guess by level 14 though a few dozen HP to a fighter is no big deal for a day or two. I tend to use these lower CR monsters in...

    D&D General Making a robust magic item buying system

    I'm not sure having potions be able to use 1/rest is an improvement. Then again, now you can take 1/round and only slowed by cost and DM handing them out. I just think that it would add more to the 5-minute work day (5MWD) problem once I take my potion and then out of luck until we rest.

    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    I like how the party size became smaller over the editions. Not sure if this is because the number of players in my neighborhood shrank and now I only have 3-4 and not the 7-8 of old, or if the classes became more and the game did not need the 3-4 fighters, 1-2 thieves, 1-2 wizards, and 1-2...

    D&D General Help with Beholder Eye Ideas

    I'll help by listing the common powers for the eyes. I might make each eye be like an Ioun Stone and float around the bosses head and shoot rays on its own initiative. As you collect more to float around your head, you gain more powers, but still one bonus ray per round. Once you collect...

    D&D Announces Collaboration with Fortnite

    It looks cool. I was trying to come up with a pithy saying about guns in my D&D, but I might even try to play that. Likely be like the time I tried to play 007 Golden Gun and all the kids knew where I was in the 4 corners of the TV, and kept circling behind me and killing me before I could...

    Karma, Rewards /Consequences Do you use it? If so, what is good, and if not what is bad?

    I think it was a Matt Colville video that said "You get what you reward". It is a bit of a powerful statement similar to the old saying about getting more flies with honey, in that it works in many places and not just your game. It works on children and online with people giving you little...

    First foray into paid DMing - 16 session in.

    That is a cool idea. I would try it as a player if it was in my city. I pay $25 to go golfing for 2 hours or go to the movies for 2 hours. When you bring your kid or someone, the cost starts to add up though.

    Check Out These T-Rex Bone Dice... But They'll Cost You!

    I see this guy make a d20 out of diamonds. I did not watch the whole video, but was looking to see of you could press a diamond and make dice out of them, some sort of synthetic diamonds.

    Very cool. Do you think the cost was worth it?

    Check Out These T-Rex Bone Dice... But They'll Cost You!

    I wonder what the uproar would be if AI was involved in creating them? Wasn't there something like this made from petrified trees a couple years ago? Same problem when the PCs kill the dragon and then take its blood to make potions of heroism. Real problem is that they cost 700$. But...
