Team Fusion It seemed prudent to stick together as a group, and North was decided as the safest way forward. While Loklafd returned the kayaks to the water (no easy task, as the cave with the ancient obelisk was high above the water, with a rounded, steep slope that plunged almost directly in...

It's pretty usual for nothing until May. So I guess... a single month's delay?

I can't wait to tell my FLGS players to limit their new PCs to the Clarence versions. I am so glad that they will no longer be confused!

If I had my way (and I've never expected to) I'd have replaced the decimal with the "e" and called it 5e24. It's only one character more than 5.5e and I think is a better method for designating the change, without a throwback to a marketing scheme from the early oughts. Though that is itself a...

Sigh.

Team Fusion Stryke the Drow had carried that idol before, and he said, in answer to Copper's question about its curse, "It is a burden to carry, to be sure. You must resist the influence of its master, the Lord of Murder. This one is known as Poison Most Foul and like its name suggests, will...

Team Caves The crowd of mercenaries rushed forward, but as they did, they were met with a very strong resistance. A pool of acid appeared, an illusion summoned by Urgan. They had no reason to doubt it, and no time to investigate. As they stumbled around it, they were cut down by Merrick's...

When I was in high-school we used the 2e Strength chart to test what our real life scores would be, based on lifting weights. I got a 12, one of my buddies got a 16 (!). Another got a 7, and my girlfriend got a 4. She was not impaired, nor even particularly "weak". Just not large. I have come...

Team Fusion Aywin (through Svetlana's scouting) and Shade-9 (having been closest to the area) independently calculated that it would be possible for the group to move counter-clockwise along the various shorelines to reach the dimly-lit ledge on the western shore of the Hydra's Pool. However...

I have been prepping for a new in-store group that runs today. Once that I'd done I will be back at it. I do want to hit a post rate of about twice a week rather than once, but I will satisfy myself with pushing stuff forward tomorrow.

Honestly, the main thing that I do with a surprise, is that I roleplay my "monsters' (or NPCs, or whatever) in such a way that if they're really unprepared for an ambush, well, they tend to run around grabbing weapons and stuff on their turn, which winds up similar to the 5e14 thing, but with...

Seems pretty young to me, but I think that @prabe was referring to the quality of his run, not the quantity.

Yeah, but I didn't get why that equated to "why bother?" I don't think you'd make a Stealth check for whoever was granted the Ranger's check result. I don't think you ought to roll dice if a different result is going to be granted. IDR the full rules on it, but I'm not sure the Ranger (in that...
