That is a pretty significant restriction. Given that, have you considered looking into one-page dungeons? There are a ton of them out there, and the one-page dungeon contest has an enormous catalogue of them. You can get compendiums of their annual winners and honorable mentions on drivethruRPG...

Yeah, episodes are usually somewhere between 3 and 5 hours long, though they’ve trended longer as the show has gone on. 3 hour episodes were more common in campaign 1, now they tend to be around 4 to 4.5 on average. One of my work friends watches up to the break when they first stream live each...

I don’t know, I feel like if you assume the changes would have been in line with your tastes… even if you think 5e is a nearly perfect game, the premise is that it changed to become even more perfect by your personal standards. So, seems like a no brainer. “Would I like a game that’s closer to...

Obviously the real answer is “it depends.” But, since you specifically asked not to answer that way, and said to assume the changes were to my liking, yeah, of course I would have adopted it. I can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t, under the assumption that it changed in a way they would...

Good point

Agreed! I think it’s great to have a positive model of a group where the players and DM work together to design what they need to realize what the players are interested in playing. Their experience as performers and the graciousness that comes with it is a salient point. These are professional...

To be honest, I don’t see that as an inherently bad thing. Like, would I personally want to play an angel/dragon hybrid with heterochromia? No, that’s trying to do too much, and ends up being less effective because it’s too unfocused. But what’s it to me if someone else plays a character with a...

It spoils the involvement of mind flayers, which could otherwise be a great twist.

That was an excellent one-shot, despite Taliesin's lack of familiarity with the rules of the system. Thanks for clarifying that point!

OC is an exonym. I have never encountered anyone who described themselves as a member of “the OC community.” I have encountered lots of people who are incredibly judgmental of anyone they deem to be part of the OC community. So, again, what specifically do you mean by “OC”? These are not...

Maybe, but I don’t think it’s that. He’s constantly doing the thing where he just says his character’s internal thoughts out loud, and I actually hate that. I’m finding myself liking Azune in spite of that. It’s the little things when he’s acting in-character rather than just expositing his...

True

So what exactly do you mean when you say “the OC style?” Evidently it’s not just homebrew options. You claim it’s not Taliesin as a person. It must not be playing an “arrogant prick,” cause Matt’s character doesn’t bother you in the same way. Apparently it’s not just being goth. What...

Welcome to Edition War 2

Rumors of the death of diseases in 2024 were somewhat exaggerated. The same diseases that appeared in the 2014 DMG are also found in the 2024 DMG, they’re just called magical contagions now. And, as noted, Lay On Hands and Lesser Restoration no longer cure them. In fact, there’s no universal way...
