I've done one of two things in the past (although, both methods were for in-person gaming): Have the player roll their dice in a tray or other container where they can't see the results. At the beginning of a session, have players roll a bunch of results in advance (e.g. d20s in D&D). The GM...

You may have missed some threads. Consider yourself lucky. ;)

I get some of what he says, but he expends a lot of words in the longest paragraph of your quote complaining about NPCs with ability scores of 18-20. PC ability scores have gone to 20 for three whole editions now (heck, four editions if you count Dark Sun); that's over 25 (or 34) years now...

Note that there are two things called "Nimble". One is the original, essentially house rules for 5e D&D, which I haven't played. If you've seen references to 5e compatibility, that might be what you're thinking of. Then there's the Nimble RPG which grew out of those rules. I'm playing that now...

Even in 2e it created "missiles of magical energy".

A technical point: elephants are Huge, so not eligible for Animal Shapes. You could turn the goblins into hippos, though, which have even better AC and HP than elephants. And also, there's room for more goblin/hippos!

I wanted to highlight a few things that I haven't seen brought up in the thread so far: While I get the interpretation of LTH not having a floor, since its effect is described as a "dome" (five times!) in the 2014 rules, one which exists "around and above you", in 2024 it's an Emanation, which...

Spoilers, man! ;)

I... really don't understand what you're saying here. The spell save DC is located directly below the spot you place spell cards on the character board: When you say that you thought the save DC "would have been located more towards where the spell cards and spells were, or even at least on or...

If someone wants to get their hands on my precious stones, they're going to have to take me to dinner first. I'll see myself out...

It's worth noting that it hasn't always been this way. In 3e, elves and half-elves had low-light vision (normal vision in dim light, none in darkness), while dwarves and half-orcs had darkvision; while in 4e, all (or essentially all) PC races had low-light vision at best. The two 5e rulesets for...

Yeah, all the Sigil minis that I know of have been offered for free.
