    D&D General Carrying and dragging stuff

    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.

    D&D General Carrying and dragging stuff

    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...

    Minis for TTRPGs

    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...

    D&D General Carrying and dragging stuff

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

    Release Navis Memorias Regenerata for CASTAWAY Now Available on Itch

    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.

    D&D General The Revised Monster Manual was released 1 year ago today! How have you liked facing down and using the new monsters?

    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...

    D&D General The Revised Monster Manual was released 1 year ago today! How have you liked facing down and using the new monsters?

    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...

    Is he wrong though? I do not know enough about those game or the extent of front-running AI abilities. I do understand companies wanting to let go of people not towing the company line or bashing them online. Is this what the kids call FAFO. I'll still always be thankful to him for what...

    Minis for TTRPGs

    I mostly DM so I tend to like the monsters that can pull double duty and fill in for other monsters. I have some that might be a dire wolf or a brown bear that can fill in for a displacer beast when I need 4 of them. Always need a dozen skeletons and goblins. I also like to have PC looking...

    Olympics 2026 Thread

    I wanted to watch the new ski-mountaineering or ski-mo event. Sounds cool being part cross-country, part climbing a mountain, part downhill skiing. I just saw it with the woman's finals. I was not impressed. It should be called ski-stadium stairs.

    Minis for TTRPGs

    @GraveDev welcome to the site. I have minis from 40+ years ago and most are still unpainted or now lost. These were lead and eventually people stopped making them. The best ones for me and my group are the D&D and Pathfinder line of painted minis that started coming out 20 years ago. Most...

    D&D General Pokemon Campaign Idea

    @Blue0Cake welcome to the site. It seems like you are looking for more Pokémon in your D&D over having a D&D game with themes of Pokémon. This is fine, but I just do not have enough information to really help. My initial thought was to have the things be some sort of captured elementals...
