I went to my local convention yesterday and found out that the big, multi-table epic was cancelled for Saturday night. There was some discussion about Wizards not sending it to them or the person at Wizards not sending. There was some other people talking about changes at Wizards and how AL is...

Final metal count. Full list here. I noticed that Kazakhstan won a single metal- a gold in figure skating.

@jraines welcome to the site. I also find myself using the Forgotten Realms wiki site or the Candlekeep site a lot instead of digging out the old books and box sets to looks for location and information while building adventures. The computer and internet just makes things so much better and...

I think the longer you get away from 2024, the more it feels dated. Calling something that starts to make the game feel stale. In 2030 are we still calling it 5e2024 and then people are looking for the 'new' version. Conspiracy side of me thinks it is because they are working on a 6e.

From a player perspective it seems that they did not know what was going on and if might feel cheap. The party foiled plans of the bad guys and seem to not know they were being spied upon and then punished by having a sneak attack in the middle of the night. I guess they know now that they can...

If 5e wants to tell me that any halfling can be as strong as any orc or goliath since being 1/8th the mass of someone does not matter, than it is one of the things I can fight or just go with. There are a lot of things that do not make sense when looked at with a lot of depth.

I would think it is how you look at it. Maybe you are not dragging them, but doing some Judo move like in movies where you use their momentum to guide them or some move where you have an arm-lock and force them with pain of breaking their arm. Then again, there are no combat rules for this...

One of the sites is Printable Heroes. Another one is the name of some guy like Olaf or something. Some are free and others are at a small cost. There are sites to help make better looking ones and ones with different color shields or cloaks and such to tell them apart at the table and to...

I like this approach. Never let carrying capacity get in the way of a good combat.

I read the thread title and thought it said Nazi Memorial Regalia. I should get more powerful readers.

Maybe it is one of those things that reads different than if you heard it. Trying to motivate people and you say that you need to step up your game and that kids could make something better. Instead you say AI and that is all people hear. No idea if this is actual though.

I would think having a few generic racial statblocks better for me and my games over having other monsters that I never need such as the Tarrasque, which I never run or encountered in 40 years. I can skip over statblocks not needed in my world. I did like 4e where they have a few basic...

I find overall that they are easier to handle, especially at higher CR/level. An example would be casters with simplified spells and bundled basic attacks doing larger amounts of damage. I have not used of needed the gear line and can just make up things they have or need if asked. If the...
