I always liked the Forgotten Realms Pantheon. So, there's that. The setting itself is varied enough that you can do anything you want. There's enough available lore/info that you could run a campaign without ever having to create a single town or NPC name on your own. Alternatively, there's...

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t rule it out.

I mean, it does have second sight. Or is that seventh sight? ;)

I'll write down a bunch of random encounters when planning an adventure or a session, but then some will just be more interesting, or there might be a clear narrative where it would make sense to run them in a specific order. So, I'll end up not using them randomly during play.

Not what the thread is about, but I've made my own self defeating rules as a player (For roleplay purposes): A Barbarian that is trying to contain their rage A Warlock that tries not to use their powers out of fear of drawing their Patrons attention A Genasi Arcana Cleric that upon gaining...

In 5E24 we have 4 Patrons: Archfey, Celestial, Great Old One and Fiend. Personally, I don't see Archfey or Celestial being too demanding of their warlocks in terms of demanding sacrifice. I also don't see a Great Old One as interested in the affairs of mortals in any comprehensible way. Fiends...

I find I have seen the opposite issue more often compared to what most people are complaining about here. In my experience it's more that the DM treats the warlock like any other character and the player gets upset that the DM isn't writing more Patron based plot for them specifically. As a DM...

The real skill in OS play was in how consistently someone could roll an 18 on a 3d6 when rolling stats, compared to players using the 4d6 drop the lowest method that came later.

Barbarian is so good. For me there were too many hilarious moments to be really disturbed by it. I watched Weapons yesterday, (by the same writer director as Barbarian) and it was even better.

How this thread feels as someone that never played 4E (I'm not really having a go at anyone, just amazed at the lack of Minion gifs given the conversations)

I read that K-pop Demon Hunters was the first movie (soundtrack) to have 3 songs on the Billboard top 100 at the same time, since Grease 50 years ago.

The idea that a book not telling you explicitly to do something means it can’t be done in an RPG like DnD seems baffling to me. A new player doesn’t need a book to tell them they can search the internet for more material, or that they can use the PC rules to make an NPC.
