I don't know about specific animes, but SquareSoft took a lot directly from D&D when making the Final Fantasy franchise. The Beholder in FF1 is my favourite example. It was another time and maybe Square Enix and WotC have some kind of deal about it currently, but I would not call it public domain.

No, but in later tiers characters are more capable of dealing with environmental conditions they couldn't before. For a Tier 1 party a hailstorm could be a challenge, but exploring caves inside a volcano would be outright deadly (YMMV).

Half baguette, creamy scrambled eggs, cream cheese and red pepper jelly. It's unusual, but trust me, it's good

Dungeon Master's Guide isn't very clear about it, but 5e 2014 have a very specific expectation about treasure: you're awarded the equivalent of one treasure hoard of adequate level each adventuring day. (one hoard at level 1, one at level 2, two at level 3, three at each level 4 to 10, and two...

The only monster I remember having a prescriptive order is the Grick, that first use its tentacles and if the attack hits it bites the target. How is the wording of it's multiattack in the new edition?

This one is my favourite, by Tolkien himself:

While I do agree Shattered Obelisk and Eve of Ruin are far from the best 5e books, I think she have an advantage with Dragon Delves: they are separate adventures instead of a campaign book. The number one flaw in Shattered Obelisk is making a Lost Mine a worst adventure by attaching an unrelated...

Dough - Sauce - Cheeses that pull, like mozzarella - Toppings - Grated cheeses, usually parmesan

A thing I tend to do before and after a campaign is asking about the most memorable moments of past campaigns and things they didn't like. It helps to see what they value most. Recently I found out that while I love a huge dungeon half of my players think my dungeons would be better if they're...

I voted biweekly but it's not exactly that. We play once every three weeks (it was once every two weeks but work schedules got in our way). We play four to five hours sessions, and sometimes we play between the scheduled sessions.

For a moment I thought it was a synesthesia thing. If it was I would say it's blue

I'm on the side of "if you want automation you can have it, but if you don't you also have that option". An example: I love Foundry VTT but I have to be honest, I never used more than half the features it offers. I use if for tracking overworld maps, city maps, dungeons, light and tokens, and...

It depends. I play monsters more as roleplaying what they would do than trying to win a skirmish. If the party is fighting a griffon its objective is to make one character unconscious, grab them and fly away with its meal. I play goblins less optimally than I play hobgoblins. Orcs are brutal...

After all, the tanar'ri is in the detail. Or was it the baatezu?
