    D&D General Wild Magic, Yea or Nay?

    I'm a fan all around. It can take the game in interesting directions as it should. The table comes together to interpret the how Wild Magic result bests plays out in the fiction. It can provide story hooks for both players and DMs. It is fun mechanic that should be expanded upon by an...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    I'm loving this and this is exactly pertinent to why I want to explore high level play as I intend the campaign to delve into the cosmology of the multiverse and omniverse and find a way to marry this content with planescape with the dimensions and realities of BECMI with ideas of my own etc...

    What's the best potato?

    Greek potatoes (as @Cadence posts above) are lemon-roasted with dried oregano - there are now variations with additional herbs but lemon and oregano are the requirement. As for the best potato - roasted, mashed and baked are the trifecta for me.

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    This is not a healthy attitude to still have - firstly it has been years and secondly many of the ideas of 4e have found themselves in later editions and other games. And plenty of us champion many of these ideas now, even when we didn't appreciate the edition at the time.

    Player skill vs character skill?

    My table is 16th level, I do not spoon feed them anymore particularly if I'm using map and key. The party took on the ancient blue wyrm Iymrith and won, but knowing (and having seen) that blue dragons burrow - they did not think to search the "treasure room" for buried treasure. They used...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    This was great -= thanks for sharing. I assume that because grid movement was not a concern at it seems in the above play example you allowed leeway with how much area was covered via the move action?

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Yeah fully agree. I have quite the appreciation for how the tiered system worked in 4e, how the progressive engine catered for that (including the use of minions) and its why I favour a system where the first few levels of 5e get traded out (when at high level) for passive benefits to accentuate...

    I recognise only Ilsundal and Kagyar, the rest are imposters I say... EDIT: Ordana and Mealiden Starwatcher are also acceptable

    Oh I meant it as a once off before the list of creatures like the MM has explanations of things earlier in the book before all the monsters.

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Man I wish I had this level of insight into how to roleplay gargoyles just a few weeks earlier when I threw 30 of them at the PCs...ah missed opportunities.

    I'm on your side of the pond, but further South. Hope you and the Mrs recover soon. If you are tying LA to the reactions then change the name to LR. It is not confusing at all. If you are worried about it, write a sentence or two about it prior the monster/deity write-ups clarifying it.
