Ogremoch. Terrin turns the name over in his mind as his awareness grows of the evil which permeates the black rock of the mountain. "I have repaired what I could," he says, "but it wasn't enough to contain the ancient evil spirit who was once imprisoned here and, I fear, escaped many years ago...

"Yes, Imani himself taught me that art in my apprenticeship," says Terrin in response to Lorent's question. He props his staff against the nearest cave wall, so as to continue to illuminate his work area, and, aided by Lorent's advice, lifts the chunk of stone into place, carefully aligning and...

Suspecting the evil is no longer contained, given the broken state of the obelisk, Terrin makes a gesture of supplication, beseeching his deity for her assistance, as he intones a few words in the same harsh sounding tongue and brings his hand to his mail-covered breast. He then makes a closer...

With the fanatical cultist dispatched, Terrin dismisses his torch-lights so as not to attract attention from any remaining pursuers. Listening intently to Stryke's story and responding to Aywin's question, Terrin says, "I think a rest is in order for this group, especially if we are to take on...

Not really. The closest it's supposed to get to the sun is about 1.4 AU, well outside Earth's orbit. I suppose we'll have to wait until we make contact in 2069 to find out what kind of observations (if any) are being made from our mirror image.

Just a reminder, interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is conjunct with the sun today, on the exact opposite side of the sun from Earth, and reaches perihelion in eight days on October 29.

Here you go! Fire arrows are at the bottom.

Saleh al-Jafarawi, prominent Palestinian journalist, was shot dead on Sunday by an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia in Gaza City.

I use the AD&D DMG, p 173, which does what you're asking.

So is @mearls saying PCs actually only engage in four rounds of combat per day? That's actually somewhat close to my experience, but I thread this needle a bit differently than most, I expect, to suit my play style. First, I completely ignore encounter difficulty. I total the party's...

Personally, I would associate the Seelie with the Feywild proper and the Unseelie with the Shadowfell and pretty much everywhere else which includes parts of the Material Plane which are adjacent to the Feywild but sundered from its light and thus "dark".

Interesting perspective. What makes you think it's dumb, and who said anything about blindly following anything? ETA: It appears you're reacting to a very uncharitable reading of what I actually wrote which was regarding the correct interpretation of the written rule only.

The rule for interrupting long rests quite clearly defines "a period of strenuous activity" as "at least one hour of" certain types of activity. The examples given are "walking, fighting, casting spells, or similar adventuring activity". The fact that it's unreasonable to expect anyone to engage...

I try to do what I would call a minimal amount of prep. In my current D&D 5.0E game, I generate pretty much all DM-introduced content randomly using the tables and directions in the 1E DMG and MM. When prepping for the next session, I generate some potential encounters and the local terrain and...

The latest images from ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter: ESA’s ExoMars and Mars Express observe comet 3I/ATLAS Eta: The fuzzy white dot moving downward and to the left near the center of the frame is the nucleus and visible part of the coma which are indistinguishable at this distance.
