5e had a missed opportunity by not scrapping the + magic weapons and armour which broke Bounded Accuracy and instead focusing on Adamantine, Blessed, Cold Iron, Darkwood, Dragon Scale, Mithral, Silvered etc... to overcome monster resistances and immunities. What 5e did do is allowed for the...

Okay, but that is then strictly a change for Fireball, Cone of Cold and Ice Storm are correctly represented. Yeah, that was not the point of the exercise. Okay but to be thorough besides damage done on upcasting there are spells such as Hold Person that when upcasted allows you to add...

Some DMs have all the luck. :ROFLMAO:

I consider myself an only GM because those that try to run games do so for 4-5 sessions and then take a forever break...that's happened twice in 10 years. These days I just decline offers to be a player because too many wannabe DMs (including my players) let me down.

I meant the entire character package which would include background. Even so I find it hard to to believe that players do not discuss their character (which would include their background) with the DM. Sometimes there is no need to, but when a player is prepared to lean into it, have the...

So it is your understanding that the majority of players and DMs do not negotiate/discuss possible character options? I really do not believe the Critical Role method is at all unique.

That is universal.

This is an old discussion where players insist EVERYTHING in their bible must be catered for and then the DM comes with his/her own bible and smacks them over the head with it for being pesky heretics. I believe this is a playstyle issue.

Apologies I thought you were signaling an equal share demographic being necessary for a setting and requiring all playable races be integrated.

Could you please elaborate on what these dice sets looked like and who the supplier was?

@dave2008 I'm in two minds of acquiring this product as the creator created so much additional content for it. In your opinion do you think it's a worthwhile resource if you're running BG: DiA or unnecessary? I've already got the Guide DiA as a Sandbox and looking at the Alexandrian Remix. Just...

Exactly. When I saw those MtG mini-settings my mind immediately went to Stargate and have my players explore them all. You have a 350-page Book of Settings you can get a lot of mileage out of that with future supplements and DMsGuild content.

I do not think 5e24 needs a setting book. Forgotten Realms works well enough, however I would not be averse to a Book of Settings where one could compile and expand on those interesting MtG settings (or make new ones) that came out early on in 5e's history. Those were pretty cool and unique (not...

A lot of those argumentative discussions also give birth to some wonderfully creative ideas and as someone who is not bound to RAW and always in search of inspiration and creativity, I find Enworld extremely useful on that front.
