I'm not a fan of this idea. There's a few holes. 1. It encourages players to steal anything and everything, sell anything that isn't money, steal their goods back, and resell the stolen goods. 2. It encourages players to do everything for money and nothing for good. 3. It encourages players...

I'm pretty sure I did... I'll just edit it.

Racial Trinkets! This is an awesome idea! Trinkets are one of the best new additions to the game, and I've always loved having racial character options for people to use as a supplement to the "anyone can do/have this" game content. Wonderful addition to my games.

I have just uploaded /r/behindthescreen Monster Ecology Anthology to the downloads area. Reddit is a wonderful place. /r/dndbehindthescreen has spent several years writing in-depth monster ecology and lore for every single monster entry in the 5e MM. I spent 3 days non-stop editing a...

Smooth! Anyways, I've used all sorts of character advancement schemes. I have found that XP systems make the most sense when players are able to compete for XP, and the group is allowed to have characters of varying level. If you distribute XP evenly and scheme to have everyone level at the...

A heck of a lot of people spent a heck of a lot of time making this. /r/dndbehindthescreen has spent several years writing in-depth monster ecology and lore for every single monster entry in the 5e MM. I spent 3 days non-stop editing a compilation of the project's works. It then took an...

I would recommend being creative with the monster's choices. Monsters can do more than walk and use attack actions. They also have access to all of the normal non-combat activities and alternative combat actions, too! A giant can jump using the same rules as a PC, for example. Using their...

That thing is godawful. I've left a comment about it every time their website has asked me to fill out their survey. Worst navigation ever. Is it a law that corporate websites must be polished turds?

This is just a conflict of play style, and a really old one at that. D&D has seen debates of this flavor since it was first sold as pamphlets. Ultimately, none of us can really change the underlying attitudes which cause the disagreement. Some people feel the game must be subject to its...
