    D&D 5E What Force Damage Tastes Like

    "The Magic Missile slams into the orcs shoulder, leaving a finger sized hole of flesh no longer there, no cauterizing burns or rent flesh. Nerves scream in shock and pain at the sudden non-existence of their ends. Veins lie open to the world, pumping blood unimpeded through the magically created...

    D&D 5E I believe a slow and light product release can cause more harm in the long run.

    Personally i don't like rules bloat and rarely use any material beyond the core books, so the release schedule is fine with me. I am unlikely to purchase many supplements anyway so i am not the target market for many of the products they produced with earlier editions. I would like a 5E Greyhawk...

    D&D 5E Magic Items in the campaign

    Personally I like how they have chosen to handle magic items in 5th. In the game i am running now they group hasn't received any magic beyond a handful of potions and they don't seem to care (if they even noticed, i had to remind them twice that they had unidentified potions in their...

    D&D 5E Is Anyone Using Variant Encumbrance?

    They have gone through several mules, I like to send the party to places a wagon cannot reach. the largest issue has been with the weight of food and water. They routinely trek through wilderness for up to a week and find it a task to provision themselves adequately. That was exactly my point...

    D&D 5E Is Anyone Using Variant Encumbrance?

    In my current game i decided to place a heavy focus on encumbrance and character finance. The idea was to see what kind of stories would develop as the group had to figure out what treasure they could carry out of the dungeon, as well as how to keep it safe when they inevitably left it back in...

    D&D 5E Just want to say Happy New Year!

    I resolve to crush my enemies. See them driven before me. And hear the lamentations of their women.

    D&D 5E Tempted to come back

    Not a fan of Forgotten realms myself, i much prefer Greyhawk. But you could always try making your own setting too. that way you get exactly what you want. Thats what i did for the 5e game I'm running now and so far everyone is enjoying it.

    D&D 5E Maneuvers to everyone

    If was going to do something like that in my game i would likely allow anyone to perform a maneuver as an action that doesn't include an attack but allow the Battle Master and MA feat to function as the currently do. that way the Battle Master isn't invalidated. i.e. the Battle Master gets to...

    D&D 5E On Dungeon Design

    I have the same issue where i don't have the time to create grand adventures and sprawling dungeon maps anymore. recently I've developed the philosophy of making my dungeons little more than flow charts and never very large. i will connect a half dozen or so 'flow chart rooms', each typically...
