It is also a main reason why people take the background and feats when making a character. What can you do for me and do I get Perception and Investigation along with Magic Initiative feat. Might be more a game thing.

I would think that most people worship the gods they we raised on when a child. This might make a profession more useful than the PC class. I also see that as a fighter or something, praying to a god that does that thing might help today over worshipping the farmer god of your youth. But...

Really like these pictures. I had several initial thoughts about how light the case must be since he can repel one handed or how big is he, since it is either the 'Hulk' version of the Iron Man suit or he is about to fight some pecks. Maybe he is a giant and can do both. Either way cool...

These figure look a lot better than some of the sets I seen on Amazon for about the same cost. The above classic set looks like it has most of what one needs and might just make it under the tree. I also seen some new styles on the Advent Calendar with dice and figures that might be cool for...

I'm already out. Here I was thinking that November does not count since I started listening to Christmas Music two weeks ago, and that I could start fresh this morning, but no. Bam! First thing when I get into the car this morning. I start to hear it come on and try to quickly change the...

This seems like we are going to have a giant list of gods with most not really being ones that get used. Would in not be better to have a list and then pare it down to 10-25 or so? A god of luck. Worshipped by adventurers and explorers, but especially by thieves and gamblers.

One of my problems might be that I tend to run a bunch of 5-room dungeons and not anything longer than a dozen rooms leaving mapping a non issue.

Over the summer I went to play golf at a course I never played before about an hour away. I went online to Google maps and used the street view to 'drive' the route before the next morning when I actually went. I was able to see the intersections and houses and places like fast food and...

It was a three-headed chimera as large as a horse whose mythical power was to attract all the turkeys, ducks,, chickens, and cockatrices in the region to swarm in the area. It has a rechargeable Thunderous Quack power and a bonus action Squawk power that imposed disadvantage on the target. The...

I plan on starting the new campaign for 5.5e finally as some point in the year. I'll most likely put several things on DMsGuild. I think last year/this year I wanted to make 1/month but think it was more like 1/two months. I'm not sure if I will run an adventure at the local convention this...

Wednesday night played D&D and combated the dreaded turducken chimera. Thursday had Thanksgiving dinner with my family. Today had 2nd Thanksgiving with my wife's family. Good week.

I have had player think of this situation and gameplay it thinking that they could survive the 8d6 damage or something. Same as jumping off a building thinking that the fall is 50ft and only does 5d10.

The movies always have the person step on a land mine and hear the click. Then there is 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to get him off or disable the bomb. Not sure how this fits into the game with checks and players interacting with the trap. I fell it make some situations better if...

This site seems to be the only one I visit regularly and contribute to. I enjoy the people and the willingness to help others with questions. Thank you all. I feel that I quieted my self over the last couple years. Some threads I would have made a comment in might not be helpful or in the...

I like placing a trap that is already exposed or tripped by someone else. This sets up that there is traps in the dungeon and the players can react. I also like traps that cause something else than just damage. A tripwire tied to a bell that alerts the next room that the PCs are coming is...
